Happens in the work
Kyubey: You did ask me to make you a Puella Magi. You just didn't ask about the details. —Episode 7, reviewing the events so far
|
Kyouko: Don't worry, Sayaka. It sucks to be alone. It's okay. I'll be beside you... Sayaka.
—Episode 9, moments before Kyouko's Heroic Sacrifice.
|
" If you ever decide that your life is not too high a price to pay for saving the universe, let me know. We'll be ready."
—Kyubey
|
"In our culture, the phenomena known as emotion is considered a mental disorder."
—Kyubey
|
"You’re not just granting hope. You’re becoming hope itself!"
—Mami Tomoe speaking about Madoka
|
"If someone says it's wrong to hope, I will tell them that they're wrong every time. I could tell them that countless times!" (After this everything changed).
—Madoka Kaname
|
Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, You Are Not Alone. |
Other Stuff
The Fandom Newbie:Just started Madoka Magica, and god it’s so cute!! I’m a sucker for magical girl animes. And after all the Hunger Games-y stuff I’ve been reading lately, it’ll be nice to get invested in a story that DOESN’T revolve around death!! |
--Gen Urobuchi, Afterword to Volume 1 of Fate/Zero And with Madoka, he finally was able to write a heartwarming story in keeping with the above. Well... kind of. |
A “magical girl show” is a work that allows miracles to be written. For me, I think by [writing] Madoka I was able to write a “heartwarming story.” To be able to put all these different emotions into a work... that truly owes much to this vessel called the “magical girl show”.
—Gen Urobuchi, DVD/BD Volume 6 Booklet.
|
Yeah, it's that kind of show.
—The little line that ends most Puella Magi Madoka Magica examples on trope pages, often potholed to Darker and Edgier or Deconstruction.
|
Unsorted
Gen Urobuchi wants to write stories that can warm people's hearts. |
