| Great episode, that cliffhanger! I wonder if Makoda will do something else besides becoming a magical girl and repeating history for Homura for the umpteenth time. Whatever happens in the next ep, I'm sure I'll be blown away regardless. |
| look at 1:52 of this video. BD version of missile launcher has "SHAFT" logo. lol |
  |
| Holy shit, shit's intense. The BGM was absolutely incredible in this episode. Now on to the last episode and see if this show gets a 10. Highly possible. 5/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
| Still my most favourite episode of the show after episode 8!! |
| Madoka is completely stupid. Homura told her everything, and she still does it. I'm glad that the mother slapped her. Homura probably wasted months or a year and Madoka keeps on screwing it up. She's eventually going to end up as a witch, and destroy the world. |
 |
| KYUBEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! D:< "Well done, Homura! You've raised Madoka to be the most powerful witch ever!" Oh God let me kill him. *fumes* Madoka... you didn't! D: |
| Where did Homura got that Battleship from? Philadelphia Experiment? |
| Lol, Homura sure brought some firepower, should have considered an atomic bomb too though :) She was pretty awesome there. The conversation between Madoka and her mother was nice, I just hope that Madoka knows what to wish for, can't wait to see her full power :) |
 |
| Kyubey still pisses me off even after that lengthy explanation and Homura has quickly made her way to my favorite character in this. Wonder what Madoka's wish was. |

The conversation between Madoka and her mother was nice, I just hope that Madoka knows what to wish for, can't wait to see her full power :) I was thinking the same thing with bring an atomic bomb, but something tells me that that wouldn’t fly to well in Japan. It looks like Homura stole half of the JSDF’s arsenal to fight that witch and it did nothing. Another thing about this episode that was implied but never stated is that Homura is as powerful as Madoka. Every time she repeats history, she draws more fate into herself and Madoka. When she almost became a witch they showed her tied with as much string as Madoka was shown with that it looks like the world would end if either of them becomes a witch. |
| No one can top Homura devotion, really the best character of Madoka Magica and the true main character |
| I find it very interesting that Madoka's mom let her go like that. This started to get intense towards the end. I wonder how this is going to end... |
| I'm speechless. There are no words. |
| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |

| You fucking kidding me, Homura put up such an epic fight and that witch has not a single scratch?! Aliens are responsible for mankind's rise, alright. Madoka's mom let her go which I couldn't believe, it's like she didn't listen to what she was saying? Shaft advertising itself haha Madoka is doing what Homura didn't want, I'm not sure but it looked like her time manipulation magic didn't work, could it be that this time it's going to end differently? I'm going to take a piss first and then watch the ending of this awesome anime, what a ride, man. |

| Unfortunately, it seems like I'm liking the end episodes less :( Well, one more episode to go! :O I knew what Homura was doing was bad. I mean Madoka seemed to grow stronger as she kept travelling right? So what Kyubey said about Homura being the person making Madoka so important made perfect sense to me. Funny how even as she warns people not to do things she just keeps doing them but whatever lol. Homura tells Madoka and I'd be pretty creeped out if I was her lol. So much for Homura taking Walpurgis on herself ... didn't seem like she was strong enough. I can't believe Madoka's mom let her go out but it had to happen for the show. Also how did Madoka get there and find Homura just in time seriously?! Ah well it saved her from being a witch. I'd be interested to see where Walpurgis came from ... or who, I suppose :P Looks like Madoka will finally make her wish next episode! I wonder what she'll wish for? At first I thought it would be for Sayaka (and maybe Kyouko) or Mami to come back but doesn't look like it. Maybe she'll want to save Homura from her fate? Though I can't say I'd prefer that over what I thought previously ... well either way, one episode left! Time to see if this really is as amazing as I hear it is! ;P |
| Cleopatra and Jean de Arc were Mahou Shoujo? That explains everything. I loved how it said SHAFT on the side of the missile launchers in the river. Homura you magnificent MS, you've given it your very best and it's not enough. Let things be as they must. I am expecting a sad ending either way. |

| Homura with those firearms is so badass... but why oh why Madoka!?!?!?! huhu... |
| Quite nice episode but imo this should have been put earlier, still quite nice let's have a look at the final battle! |
 |
| Madoka accepted the contract after all. But I guess it was required this time since she almost gave up what little hope she had left. Strange show is strange, I can't predict the ending at all but I'm looking forward to it! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Homura went crazy Rpgs, anti tank missiles,grenades, shotguns she used everything im getting the game that's it |

|
| I loled at the SHAFT branded rocket launchers xD |
| Holy jesus, what a great episode! |
I’m just excited to see my Lord and Savior, Baphomet, represented in such glorious Italian stone. I do hope his eyes gaze upon me and that my allegiance is recognized. |
| Homura... Madoka... I cant realy see a happy end! |
| Subscribe plz ^^ http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAlmeidaPT Like plz xD https://www.facebook.com/pages/Otaku-Powa/157576507666018 |
| Noo Madoka! T_______T |
| It seems like Homura can only go back in time and not forward. Else she would be able to get more futuristic weapons. Lol. |
| There's two kinds of people you can't win an argument against: One - Too dumb to tell right from wrong. Two - Too stubborn to admit they are wrong. |
| Madoka's parents are really great. I really enjoy seeing the family's interaction throughout the show, which no doubt helped make Madoka into such a pure person ^^ |
 |
| I wonder how much time took Homura to hoard so many weapons, but she was pretty badass. Also I have mixed feelings about Madoka apparently making a contract in the end. |
 |
| Nice historical backdrop. |
rebwaters said: In a way he's right. Makes no sense we cry over the loss of a human being and just live with the fact we kill tons of cattle. Is just like they're doing it... We are their cattle... that's the cruel cold-hearted part of all this... But he does make sense. Yup he does. The cattle example was a really good one. Madoka definitely didn't have anything else to say back to Kyuubey. She tells Kyuubey that he's cruel for lying to those people in the past, but I like what he responds to her. How without their sacrifice, she couldn't be living the nice and normal life that she is living now. And of course...more crying. Well finally after 11 episodes, she finds her resolve. I know it happens all the time in anime or movies, etc., but how is it that Madoka finds Homura in among all those ruined buildings and debris? (and right before Homura becomes a witch too) I guess with the help of Kyuubey? |

How without their sacrifice, she couldn't be living the nice and normal life that she is living now. That's why Kyubey is a unique antagonist. He (or she??) can justify and rationalize evil actions through logic. I can't imagine how the next episode will wrap every thing up. |

| damn homura is so cool in fight scene.. and madoka.. finally she became mahou shoujo.. but that ending.. hmm.. looks like shit just getting real now :3 |
| O MY GOSH!!! |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| Well, the night of Walpurgis is pretty hardcore. Even Homura can't beat her. I can't see this anime finish with an happy end... |

| That's a touching Homura x Madoka moment, to see Homura release all her emotions and tell Madoka everything... and nice mother--daughter moment. Epic fight scene, too, fighting desperately, do all what you can do, and being despair while facing unbeatable enemy, unchangeable fate... also, does Walpurgis Night become stronger in different timeline, too? Finally, what will Madoka do? or what she have already done? |
| Damn that Walpurgis thing! eating the rockets like nothing! Homura you did well, time to get some rest <3 .. leave it to Madoka..! 5/5 |
| Damn, another great episode! Homura did want to protect Madoka, but in the end, it was the same result, Madoka will have to become a Mahou Shoujo anyway. Oh well, I guess you can't change fate no matter what you do. Welp, have to watch the next episode to find out! |
 |
| So we get to see what's the Walpurgis Night. Damn, that's how I like magic! With rockets and explosives of all kind! |
| (3rd time watching) Homura should have been stacking some nukes! Still, she was dishing out some serious firepower. Amusing how the brand on everything is "Shaft". (And how are there only 8 pages for this episode discussion?) |
  |
| I can;t believe I was going to drop this show after the first few eps. Homura is badass *_* I wonder how they will wrap it up in one episode. |
| All of this was inevitable, huh? |
 |
| SO CLOSE! |
 |
| Shit was crazy. Finally like Homura. SO MANY FUCKING MISSILE THOUGH. SHAFT branding everywhere,lol. Madoka finally going to become a mahou shoujo. Last episode,let's see how this all ends. |
| All right, finally teared up a little bit in this episode. I caught the feels when Homura hugged Madoka and began crying. One episode left and I have a feeling it's not going to be pretty. TRAGIC ENDING INCOMING |
