She&#8217;s like Regina George&#8217;s mother, only she&#8217;s <em>actually<\/em> cool.<\/li>\n<li>No, honestly, I love that show has developed this very real sense of love and respect between this mother and daughter. It&#8217;s probably saccharine to some people, but why <em>can&#8217;t<\/em> a family be portrayed as loving and caring? The whole point of Madoka in this scene is that she&#8217;s grown up with a very strong sense of what&#8217;s wrong and right. Her moral code makes her reluctant to do <em>anything<\/em> that might be construed as wrong, and Madoka&#8217;s mother recognizes this. That&#8217;s why she tells her daughter that she needs to learn how to be wrong and to make mistakes.<\/li>\n<li>Oh god, do you realize how true it is that the older you get, the worse it becomes when you <em>do<\/em> make a mistake? If I drank, I would have paused this episode just to get shitfaced with Madoka&#8217;s mother.<\/li>\n<li>OH MY GOD, I KNEW IT. I KNEW THAT KAMIJO WOULD DRIFT AWAY FROM SAYAKA. IT&#8217;S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE, I TELL YOU. <em>IT CAN ONLY GET WORSE<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Sayaka blames Homura for Mami&#8217;s death. Again, this can only end in a disaster.<\/li>\n<li>HOW GORGEOUS IS THE ENTIRE SEQUENCE ON THE BRIDGE OVER THE HIGHWAY? This show uses colors brilliant, and frames so many of these shots in fascinating ways.<\/li>\n<li>Holy shit, Madoka threw Sayaka&#8217;s Soul Gem off the bridge THIS IS HER HELPING SAYAKA MAKE A MISTAKE<\/li>\n<li>WHAT<\/li>\n<li>WHAT<\/li>\n<li>WAIT<\/li>\n<li><strong>SAYAKA JUST DIED.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>WHAT THE FUCK????<\/em><\/li>\n<li>NO Y<\/li>\n<li>YOU<\/li>\n<li>YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME<\/li>\n<li>THIS JUST CAN&#8217;T BE RIGHT<\/li>\n<li><strong>MAGICAL GIRLS GIVE UP THEIR SOULS AND ONLY LIVE IN A SHELL OF A BODY SO THEY CAN SURVIVE THE MAGICAL ATTACKS THEY FACE<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>I AM 600% DONE WITH THIS SHOW.<\/li>\n<li>Just when I think I can&#8217;t be more disturbed, everything is made a billion times worse than before.<\/li>\n<li>Fuck you, Kyubey, you are <em>horrific<\/em>.
