| Had the strongest ending amongst the winter 2011 animu. 8/10, would archive in 1080p. |
| I liked the ending, magical girls relationship with Kyubey seemed to have gotten better because of the change, I don't think there will be another season, as the show ended up as "Magcial girls will keep fighting the evil magical beasts" - end of story. I liked how Homura has Madoka's arrow, and how she still remembers her. :3 |

| FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF subtitles ftw. |
| I was chuckling at all the Nanoha vibes episode 12 was emanating. Anyway, I liked the ending. It was bittersweet, Homura lives on remembering Madoka and carries the one physical proof of it in her hair. There is a bit of an open end with the final scene. It may or may not be some apocalyptic ending with Homura being the last Puella Magi left, I for the most part don't think its an apocalyptic ending. I've got a long winded explanation for the new Demon Puella Magi System in my blog here and my other thoughts on the two episodes. Madoka isn't quite a perfect ten in decimal terms, but since i can't use decimals here it rounds up to a 10/10 for me. |

This is even more epic with the subs. This is from now on the best anime i've seen. EVER. |
| i was going to -1 the series at the first part of the ep , its feels really stupid to everything be solved so easily. but the fact that madoka changed the world , but magical girls still exist make a lot of sense , the humans world (as qb said) would be totally diferent without QB wishes. so she changed the laws , there's no witch after a magical girl dies , but there's still something to fight against so there's a reason for QBs to make the deal. so i will keep the 8/10. but i still thing the waiting wasnt worth ,, i mean , ep 10 was so amazing , and this... was just ok. |
| I finished watching the two eps with subs, and i am going to freaking killing shaft for making the series so awesome. This is far beyond what i expected to be, and i l-o-v-e-d it. 10/10 for me! |
| Weak ending 3/5. Overall 8/10 though. I think i expected/wanted a dark and utterly grim ending. |
| Wow..I'm quite disappointed. I expected a great ending and was going to give it an applaud but right after watching episode 11 it went downfall from there. You know how you get that feeling after you finish an anime that it's like you still into it. I don't get it from this show. I'm confused if there's going to be a second season, some random person message me about a second season like 2 weeks ago. Now I'm thinking about if it's actually true or not. But really this ending is like elfen lied's ending (the anime not the manga) wth is going to happen? I'm not sure if it's adaptation answers these questions I have for this show. Well at least I know why there is a fan art of Homura holding Madoka's bow. I'm not sure what rate I would give this show, but I'll just leave it as nothing for now. |

| I always knew it was gonna end with her becoming a Mahou shojo BUT i never expected her to be god. I feel like it was rushed for some reason. Anyways the series was truly amazing. 9/10 |
| The ending was great and at the same time sad, that Madoka had to sacrifice herself and endure all the pain now.. She is now Madokami and will forever be with us =P Homura is epic like always. Damn Walpurgisnight, couldn't it die after all these fire maneuvers... And then Madoka appears and everything is solved... She is overpowered lol |

| I cried ;~; This was one hell of an ending~ |

| I find it kinda awkward that my fanboyness towards quantum physics and the 11 dimensions of reality helped me understand god madoka o.O...Still for me that ending was perfect, and seriously awesome! I love how you can hear Madoka's voice cheering on Homura at the ending there. :D! This goes from a 9 to a 10 for me now. Also for all the haters saying the ending makes no sense: http://imperialx.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/madoka-doesnt-need-a-sequel-to-explain-itself/ That link provides a fairly concise answer to most objections in an easy to read and understand Q&A format. Try reading it before complaining about the "nonsensical" ending Madoka had. |

| If they gave a us a grim end of the world exploding, than it would have been just like everyone was thinking? than the fandumb would be "OMG OBVIOUS END IS OBVIOUS"/ Its was a good unexpected end. Though Sayaka got screwed over. Though her dream was to make Kyousuke happy and she got that. Overall it was a very bittersweet end. Also did anyone think it kind had a similar feeling to the ending of: |
| one of the best shows in recent history the ending is not bad 9/10 for the entire show. |
 |
| I have to add this: now, Sayaka isn't even Madoka's best friend. :( AND EVERYONE: Thanks to the entire thread for ruining the endings of at least two other anime and a game. |

"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command. If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."  |
paperbomb said: Also did anyone think it kind had a similar feeling to the ending of: Definitely, and several people have already mentioned that. Well, resembling that anime can't be a bad thing. |
 |
| Well, I don't really feel the need to join the back and forth arguments/discussions because all that really matters to me is what I think. The last two episodes both made me tear up. And it was perfect. And it was soul wrenching. Fucking beautiful, and deserving of more than just the number "10" in my book. |
| Really good Show, when i startet it i never through that it would leave such an impact with me. The Ending wasn't something i had through about but with everything and what day today is, i really thing it has a very good ending. 09/10 from me. |
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.  |
| No words to describe how perfect the anime was 100 out of 10 for me |

I guess my spoiler tag was infutile. People need to remember that not everyones watched the same stuff as you. metamorphius said: paperbomb said: Also did anyone think it kind had a similar feeling to the ending of: Definitely, and several people have already mentioned that. Well, resembling that anime can't be a bad thing. Yes. I enjoyed that anime. So it was nostalgic :) |
| Gosh I loved that ending! Everything felt wrapped up nicely. *-* imperialx's blog post helped out as well. Seriously, I felt heartbroken when Madoka's mother never remembered her, even though I knew this would happen because of her wish, it still hurt to see it in front of my eyes =.= And I kinda wish Kyousuke liked~ Sayaka at least a little bit, I mean come on, was he even at her funeral last episode? Towards the end there was a bit of recognition when he uttered her name but.. not good enough for me ._.^. Although I know the triangle wasn't the main focus of Madoka of course. xD |
| i have to admit i cried a litlle xD (again manly tears hahaha) well we all said in the beginning why not wish there weren't any puela magica and with that no witches. but the wish was just wow xD madoka said: i want to erase every witch before they are born. Every witch form every world, from the past and the future... kbeyui said: do you realy want to become a god? oh man if i could give it 11/10 i would!! people can say all they want but this was the best thing i ever seen EVER... i'm actualy speechless. realy don't know how i can discribe what i think and feel about this show only that is surpasses awsome :D |
Lihn said: I find it kinda awkward that my fanboyness towards quantum physics and the 11 dimensions FTFY: 10 dimensions. The eleventh dimension, or supergravity, has yet to be proven and for now is only a theory. And, well, the show gets 8/10 from me. It was far from being flawless (as many people have stated), and the ending, albeit very good, was bittersweet. A bittersweet ending by Urobuchi Gen, for fuck's sake! I had expected something much grimmer, darker... but it was good, all right. Also, the plot was quite predictable, and naivety/crass stupidity of main characters' actions was sometimes annoyingly unexplainable. Yeah, yeah - before you kill me let me say that I had fun watching the show and even the annoying SHAFT-like camera angles weren't as irritating as in the case of their other series. The show was good, but not godly - as some people state. Thus 8/10 is pretty much the perfect score for this anime. A bit more on the 8.5/10 side, though. |

| What an ending... Just still wondering about one thing though, why was Sayaka with Madoka at the end? |
| Either I'm a jews or the weather is too hot, I didn't have teary eyes or a smile in the end of the series but I personally think that the ending was "tactically"nicely done so I'll give it a 8/10. |

| That was pretty confusing. I kind of get a little what they were saying. So in the end Madoka died or what? But still the scene with Homura and Madoka's mom was so sad, I nearly cried there. |
| This was pretty epic and a surprising ending. The Madoka and Homura scene was awesome. |
| its getting clearer now, i would say that episode 11 was better than 12 imo but still a great series. |

Aurao said: What an ending... Just still wondering about one thing though, why was Sayaka with Madoka at the end? I think it was simply because she became a witch. All the girls Madoka saved were made human again right before they became a witch, whilst Kyoko and Mami simply died during a fight. Whilst Madoka's recreation of the world allowed for the resurrection of Kyoko and Mami, Sayaka already becoming a witch had made her soul gem unrecoverable. That's my speculah, anyway. |
| I found the ending to be (very) good, as opposed to the earlier parts of the show. Despite some things which could be regarded as 'asspulls', I enjoyed the whole universe 'reconstruction' thingie. It was nice seeing Sayaka again. She was the most well-developed character in the show, as far as I'm concerned. 7/10 from me. |
| "This Forest isn't going to reveal all its secrets for the likes of you." |
| I want a sequel, now!! Though it's highly unprobable we'll get one though. Well, epic show, what can I say? My only thought at the end of it was 'And so, another chapter of my otaku life ends.' 10/10 and on my fave list. One month of waiting for the final two episodes was a bummer but it was worth it to the end. Ironic though, I stared to watch this only after the 3rd episode. |

Iisan-kun said: Iri said: Deus ex voto ending. Memo to self: Self, if I am ever the nexus of an infinite number of destinies and fate lines from across multiple worlds and times and suddenly have the ability to ask for one impossible wish with the power to change history and give me and everyone else a potentially unambiguously happy ending, actually ask for that instead of derping my way into voluntary self-sacrifice so I could justify having my name on the show. Tell me one wish that you believe to be superior. Remember, it has the be a single wish that satisfies all possible views of the problem in question; you're supposed to be God. Remember, you cannot merely think of yourselves or your friends. Instead of saying 'I wish to kill every witches before they are born in any timeline forever and ever' she could have said 'I wish every witches dead before they are born in any timeline forever and ever' and thus evading the big burden she has to deal now with the same result. There must be a lot of other possibility starting by 'I wish mahou shoujo do not turn into witches'. |

| Fantastic. So worth the wait. |

In the new world, witches don't exist and QB stated that soul gems "disappear" when magical girls die, and then Madoka whisks them away to MG heaven (if you will). After the scene in the concert hall; Mami, Kyouko and Homura finish fighting one of the new demons and Mami says that Sayaka 'disappeared' because she used up all her energy. The scene in the concert hall was her final moments before disappearing. |

| I don't get why so many people are calling this a happy ending? Bittersweet sure but I think it's far from happy... |
| all these are taken from the following blog so if somebody still has a question or tries to say this series is incomplete needs to start paying some more attention :D Ginga-Bishoujo said: Instead of saying 'I wish to kill every witches before they are born in any timeline forever and ever' she could have said 'I wish every witches dead before they are born in any timeline forever and ever' and thus evading the big burden she has to deal now with the same result. There must be a lot of other possibility starting by 'I wish mahou shoujo do not turn into witches'. Madoka’s wish was “I wish to erase every witch before they are born. Every witch from every world, from the past and the future. With my own hands.” The emphasis here is ‘with my own hands’. It’s almost mindblowing that Madoka can come up with such a flawless plan in such a short period of time. Why did she add this? That’s because it puts her into the controller’s seat. If she simply wished for “I wish to erase every witch before they are born. Every witch from every world, from the past and the future.”, that wish would not be moderated by anyone, and the literal interpretation can be easily distorted. If you’re a lawyer, you know what I’m talking about. For instance, that wish can erase every witch as well as the Mahou Shoujo they came from. This way she wouldn’t be saving those girls at all. If Madoka is in the moderator’s seat, she has every say on how this wish should be executed, without having to specifically mention them in the wish. She’d need someone with a Harvard J.D. to include everything she plans to do in a single wish. Thalos said: I don't get why so many people are calling this a happy ending? Bittersweet sure but I think it's far from happy... People say this part is unexplained, but in all honesty, that’s because you didn’t rewatch episode 1~10 before you started watching this, and your memories of Kyuubey’s explanations on how this World works has become blurred since the past six weeks. In the universe of Madoka Magica, all elements must be kept in equilibrium - unlike in the universe of Suzumiya Haruhi, where Haruhi can make things out of nothing. With Madoka now firmly in control, she executes her plans of taking the ‘mud’ out of the diminished Soul Gems, so they never become Grief Seeds from the past, present and future. Essentially, the It was shown in episode 11 that the ‘mud’ in the Soul Gem comes from despair and pain, so that means when Madoka removes this, all this despair and pain (which is normally harvested as energy by the Incubators) has to go somewhere else. That becomes shouldered by Madoka herself. Why else did this episode air on Good Friday? Today is the day of crucifixion of the Lord, Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. At this very moment two thousand years ago, all sins; past, future and present flew upon him. What Madoka is doing is essentially the same thing, although she is shouldering all the grief of Mahou Shoujo instead of the sin of every living man and woman (Madoka has a far smaller burden in comparison). |
