jump to expanded posti first watched madoka, the tv series, more than a decade ago. i just saw the first movie for the first time
what the fuck
it's such an immaculate work
what an incredible film
i think i am lucky i am not in a more receptive state of mind this movie could destroy someone
i think it's enhanced by having seen madoka before, but a very, very long time ago, and in the less refined form that the tv series was. it made the characters' fates weigh heavier, because while i couldn't recall them precisely, it made every bit of foreshadowing echo louder
this is not a โrecap movieโ it is a work of fucking art
if you want to watch it i would recommend doing it in a low-noise environment, preferably with headphones, and with minimal distractions or interruptions

i watched the second movie and i cried three times so it's probably pretty good too
the madoka series really is larger than life. i was struggling to find the words for it, and then it struck me, there's none other thanโฆ โcanonicalโ. it is a codified myth
madohomu never loses relevancy because it can't. it's canonical. it is the beginning and the end of yuri. it is mythic
โชsymptoms of watching madoka can include: hearing madoka background music in your head in ordinary moments of waking lifeโฌ
i have seen the third madoka movie, rebellion.
any rumours that i have previously seen this movie and had any opinions at the time are incorrect.
homura did nothing wrong.
this is my sincere opinion
(also, yes, i did cry to some degree more than once, if that's the metric)
@hikari have I convinced you to read To The Stars yet
@hikari you have to stop now, there will only be pain ahead
@saagar unironically
@hikari uhh. its a movie. with a 5.1 surround mix.
why would I watch it on headphones? O_o
@hikari it deserves to be watched in the format it was mastered for ^-^
@erincandescent oh, because the telepathy sounds better when it's coming from inside your head
@hikari ok but everything else about it sounds better on decent speakers :3
(and when the .1 channel isnโt thrown away, as happens when downmixing for headphones)
@hikari Side note: its kinda fascinating that the train station in Rebellion is so obviously Berlin Hbf.
@hikari (though in Rebellionโs version it seems the ground floor is missing and the upper deck might be ground level? Its really hard to figure out how its situated. Which is quite themactic.)
@erincandescent @hikari if the real one had that lighting scheme it'd be a lot nicer ๐
@erincandescent holy shit???
@hikari based opinion. like literally one of the most defining pieces of art to me
@hikari just wait til you watch Rebellion
@hikari you saw the best one now stop before it's too late
