Holy Quintet!

I don't know how many people knows about this but there is one interesting thing about the English title "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". Puella Magi in Latin means Magical Girl, but that's not the only meaning. Puella means "a young girl" but in certain contexts it can also mean "a female slave". Magi means "magician" with trickster personality, similar to Loki (from Norse mythology) or genie, so it can be translated as "deceiver". Then "Puella Magi" can be translated as "Slave of the Deceiver".

@@OmegamxXIV For the same reason why HBO's Newsroom botched the episode about Fukushima. English to Japanese is not an easy translation, most Japanese anime I see botched their English, so I have even less faith for them doing latin right. Can they intentionally hid the "Slaves of the Deceiver" message? Probably. Will they keep quiet about it? Probably not. Is there a more probably way for them to do it? Yea, using the kanji, a feature in their language where they can easily slip in a message, but no.. Until the end Mahou Shoujo stays literally mahou shoujo, only thing hidden is the typesetting made mahou easily mistakeable with hai-kyou (abandon cowardice, hesitation). So yea, probably it was intentional, but occam's razor says otherwise. Also, no one here other than you call them illiterrate savages. Let's not be crass.

I do so love this group because they have such powerful voices. There's kind of a trend that Japanese women tend to affect a higher pitched voice more often than not, whether that's a deliberate choice or their voices are just naturally higher than many western women. But Kalafina's members have a different kind of energy, and it feels like they invest more in their deeper range, and that's something I love to hear from a Japanese female band.

In my personal opinion, as a woman, it is easier to speak Japanese in a higher pitched voice. I have a very unique voice, nasally and slurred more than ~98% of the population and changing my tone changes the way I speak, so you can disregard that. However, I think it's also a cultural thing, as Japan definitely has It's problems with feminine standards, some unique and some similar to the west, especially America. I also see "guy protects soft distressed girl" more often in Japanese media. This culture also very much affects real life, especially in younger people, both men, women, and in-between. What's fascinating is that almost all the Japanese women I've met have a middle toned voice.

Thing is, this wasn't just some random grimdark song they forced into the credits of Episode 3 out of nowhere. We heard this song as early as the first scene of Episode 1, and during the fight scene of Episode 2. The show warned you it would have shades of darkness from the very beginning. Once they start playing this song during the credits, however, that's what tells you it'll *stay* dark.

I am not going to lie. It was this music and the scene in the first episode where Homura was duking it out with Walpurgisnacht that made it pretty obvious that this wasn't going to be your average Magical-girl anime. And when I saw it from Homura's perspective later on in the series it was just extreme nightmare fuel. watching her scream out to Madoka to not listen to Kyubey while she fell into the darkness was just disturbing. And then there were the end credits with the girls flickering outlines which was just spine-tingling every time

I love that this is basically a Homura character song-the lyrics are so good. T-T Here's my translation: Someday the light of love Burning in your eyes will transcend time And surely only bring destruction to This dream of a world hurrying toward ruin Swallow up your hesitation What is it that you wish for? Is there some fleeting future that would Fulfill this greedy yearning? Like the ancient magic I saw in my childhood dreams With a power that shatters even darkness I want to reach your smiling face Clutched within these frightened hands Is the courage of lost innocence* My aspiration is all that I can rely on A wish That calls out to wake that light Someday you too will desire that power For someone else's sake One night, when your heart is seized by love Those nebulous words will emerge If I can proceed unwaveringly It’s fine if my heart breaks I want a spell to fight against The tragedy that’s Always before my eyes You, a still-dreaming memory Me, a sleepless tomorrow I will continue on to fight toward The miracle of our meeting Clutched within these frightened hands Is the blade of lost innocence* My aspiration is all that I live for A wish Brandished by my heart That shining time of captured sunlight When I loved that book about Wonderland I used to believe in those fairytales That tell us dreams always come true (Within the light and the shadow) Quietly disturbed from blooming The ancient magic gently whispers That the power to change the world Is in your hands Let’s live in an unending dream Of the time I’ll spend with you My aspiration is all that I live for To build that life Is my wish *Lit. “of a plucked flower,” but the significance is less clear in English when directly translated Translation is more of an art than a science, so my interpretation might differ slightly from others.

after all these years this song still slaps SO hard

Homura continued to fight even when she had nothing to fight for. While magical girls were despairing left and right once they knew how awful the world really is once you're not a child anymore, killing themselves or others, Homura just ignored the warrior's pain. Even though she knew that she couldn't save Madoka or bring "her" Madoka back, Homura fought for all of us. Homura = Batman.

Let me just say Kalafina is one of the best bands I have ever heard. I first heard them from Fate/Zero and I immediately fell in love. They're voices are like angels, the voice you'll hear when your in heaven. I watched Madoka recently and spent an hour looking for this beautiful song. One reason I love Fate is because I know this band will have some part of it. You go, Kalafina. The day they break up will be the day I die. P.S. For those of you who didn't know, Madoka and Fate/Zero are made by the same creator, but I don't think Madoka ties into the Fate series in any way.

Yeah same here, I've been replaying fallout 3 and new vegas, and I'm always playing halo. I've actually made it a point to really only watch anime with friends, so that it's a social activity rather than a solitary one. I'm finding that it works quite well that way. The one major show I've been watching with friends is hunterxhunter, which I'm enjoying thoroughly. I've also started noragami, the art of which I am in LOVE with, and sidonia, which has been good, as expected. A few years back I was marathoning shows in a day, on almost a daily basis, but it got to a point where I said enough's enough. Since then, I've really slowed down to maybe 1 or 2 new shows a month, but I almost always enjoy what I'm watching. From my own personal experience and talking with others, I see that a lot of people treat anime like it's an endless well of amazing shows, when it's really not. It pretty much follows the 99% rule, as with anything else, so I much more like the idea of spreading it out for the foreseeable future, instead of gobbling it all up and coming to a day where I say "oh, fuck, well what do I watch now?" Anyway yeah, always looking forward to that conversation in the fuzzy future. :p

Okay, I love this song and I ADORE Madoka Magica. It has an amazing story, great animation and wonderful characters. But I hate it when people say that its the first dark Magical Girl anime. Did everyone forget about a certain little anime called Revolutionary Girl Utena? Or if that doesn't count, then Princess Tutu? Even some of the light MGs had dark moments. Sailor Moon was full of them. In one episode, the senshi were crucified! Even PRETTY CURE had dark moments. Have you SEEN Heartcatch? A mascot DIED and the girl who he belonged to fell into deep despair. Ojamajo Doremi, which is a cute witch anime, tackled subjects like divorce, trauma, miscarriage and even had a young girl DIE of CANCER! And she was much younger than the Madoka cast. So yeah, Madoka Magica is an amazing anime, but it is NOT the first dark Mahou Shoujo.

Let me be clear, I...DESPISE...the magical girl genre. I would rather gouge out my eyes with a vegetable peeler. I refused to watch Madoka for the longest time despite my friends almost rabid insistence to do so ASAP. Finally after being browbeaten and tricked into imbibing two thirds of a bottle of Scotch with him, I capitulated. I have never regretted it for a second since. A masterpiece of storytelling and visuals that profoundly challenged the paradigm of the genre. It delivered an experience like no other anime before or since (and I've been watching anime since Voltron, Our Star Blazers and G-Force). This series is a must watch and its sequel, Rebellion, will completely destroy you, leaving you hollow and shivering in the dark.

This is the only time when the ending is more popular than the anime opening.

A word of advice for anyone who wants to watch Madoka Magica: If you are prone to panic attacks and anxiety, I would not recommend watching it because once it gets to the third episode it gets freaky and messed up and it may trigger panic attacks. Just a fair warning. If you are not prone to panic attacks and anxiety, I STILL recommend slight caution when watching and possibly a box of tissues for all of the tears you will shed. ~enjoy~ p.s. If a little alien cat thing comes up to you and asks you to make a contract, do. NOT. say. yes. if you value your life in any way whatsoever. If you do, however, say yes, I BEG of you not to make your wish "I want to go to Disneyland" or I will bash my head against the wall until it falls off and I bleed out like Mami

Someday the light of love you lit within your eyes will transcend time, and surely destroy one of the dreams of a world racing towards destruction. Now that you've drunk dry your doubts, what do you desire? Will there be a fleeting tomorrow at the end of this path of selfish yearning? Like the ancient magic I saw in my dreams when I was young, I want to see you smiling with the power to destroy even darkness. In these trembling hands, I hold a broken flower's courage. I rely on my feelings alone. A wish that will wake the light. Someday perhaps you, too, will desire power for another's sake. On the night when love captures your chest, unknown words will spring forth. If I can follow my path without wavering, I care not if my heart shatters. I wish I had a spell to stand against the sadness that's ever before my eyes. For you, dreams of memories, For me, a sleepless tomorrow, but I'll continue to fight for the miracle of our meeting. In these trembling hands, I hold a broken flower's blade. I live for my feelings alone. A wish held aloft in my heart. Back when I loved books about wonderlands where a captive sun shines, I believed the fairy tales that told me all my wishes would come true. (Amidst the light and shadow) The quietly blossoming ancient magic gently whispers to me, 'In your hands is the power to change the world'. Let's dream a neverending dream in the time I have with you. I live for my feelings alone. My wish, 'To create life'.

But so are so, so it evens out.

I think... I think I like Kalafina. I like that almost operatic metal feeling they give off. The voices are just so damn gorgeous, and backed by guitars and strings just enhances the power of their presence all the more. I wish US radio stations were allowed to play J-Pop and J-Rock, just so people wouldn't be so close-minded and find they can appreciate that sometimes the best stuff isn't even in English.

the cathedral has Dark Souls vibes to it. Very nice. Nice song as well, it's in Madoka Magica.

kalafina literally on whole another level. no girl group..yes..no girl group these days can match their level.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica shall ever be known in Anime history as the one who broke the Magical Girl genre. You think being a Magical Girl is all flowers, justice and fun? Think again. Nietzsche was right. The world sucks and the only course is nihilism.

hereLiesThisTroper Nihilism is for the weak. Those who succumb. This is what happened to some of the magical girls when they found out the truth. Strength is finding the light in the dark. The world is whatever you make it, whatever you want it to be.

***** That's the idea, and that's what you should do if you can! You have to find the positive and find the joy in life. There will ALWAYS be people suffering. But there is also a lot of love in this world. What I love about Madoka is she focused on love and the light in life despite all the darkness around her. Kind of the theme in Harry Potter as well.

***** You go girl. If you wish to make a magical girl story, throw her into the abyss of a nihilistic world where there is no hope and meaning and make her overcome it. Not by doing the cliche, 'if there's no meaning in the world, then I'll make one', (that's a philosophical contradiction) but letting her realize that Nihilism is a completely bankrupt and absolutely wrong worldview. So, let her teach the villain that nihilism is unlivable and that people indeed have intrinsic value and meaning.

Is it just me, or is the lead singer like extremely beautiful? She has such a unique look! I'm so mesmerized by her.

that would be for like an hour, until i transform into my kickass outfit, fly around and put a witch in the dirt because reasons.

I just realized that Homura's world is an opportunity. I hope in Homura's world, the girls get a chance to actually solve their own problems. Talk about them. Put them behind. Not...sacrifice their lives because they can't handle it anymore but they don't want to hurt people. P.S: I'm starting to understand the mindset behind the theory saying Madoka was actually planning to take her own life for a time now, and becoming a Goddess simply presented itself as an opportunity to do it and still be useful.

Original / Romaji Lyrics English Translation itsuka kimi ga hitomi ni tomosu ai no hikari ga toki wo koete horobiisogu sekai no yume wo tashika ni hitotsu kowasu darou Someday, the light of love that you set aflame in your eyes Will transcend time And surely destroy one dream Of this world that hurries to its ruin. tamerai wo nomihoshite kimi ga nozomu MONO wa nani? konna yokubukai akogare no yukue ni hakanai ashita wa aru no? Swallow down your hesitation. What is it that you wish for? On the path of yearning as greedy as this, Will there be a transient tomorrow? kodomo no koro yume ni miteta inishie no mahou no you ni yami sae kudaku chikara de hohoemu kimi ni aitai obieru kono te no naka ni wa taorareta hana no yuuki omoi dake ga tayoru subete hikari wo yobisamasu negai With power that can break through the darkness, Something like the ancient magic That I dreamed of when I was young, I want to meet you and your smile. What I hold in these frightened hands of mine Is courage made of handpicked flowers. My feelings alone are all that I rely upon, A wish that will awaken The light. itsuka kimi mo dareka no tame ni tsuyoi chikara wo nozomu no darou ai ga mune wo toraeta yoru ni michi no kotoba ga umarete kuru Someday, you will also wish for great power For the sake of someone else, I suppose. In the night when love captured your heart, Yet unknown words are born. mayowazu ni yukeru nara kokoro ga kudakete mo ii wa itsumo me no mae no kanashimi ni tachimukau tame no jumon ga hoshii If I can go on without losing my way, I don't mind if my heart is broken to pieces. I want a spell That can let me fight against The sorrow that is always in front of my eyes. kimi wa mada yume miru kioku watashi wa nemuranai ashita futari ga deau kiseki wo kachitoru tame ni susumu wa obieru kono te no naka ni wa taorareta hana no yaiba omoi dake ga ikiru subete kokoro ni furikazasu negai You are a memory that continues to dream. I am the sleepless tomorrow. I will move forward in order to attain The miracle of the two of us meeting. What I hold in these frightened hands of mine Is a sword of handpicked flowers. My feelings alone are all that I live for, A wish that I brandish Within my heart. torawareta taiyou no kagayaku fushigi no kuni no hon ga suki datta koro negai wa kitto kanau to oshieru otogibanashi wo shinjita (hikari to kage no naka) When I used to like books about strange lands Illuminated by captive suns, I believed the fairy tales that Taught us that wishes would surely Come true. (Among the light and shadow...) shizuka ni sakimidarete ita inishie no mahou yasashiku sekai wo kaeru chikara ga sono te ni aru to sasayaku owaranai yume wo miyou kimi to yuku toki no naka de omoi dake ga ikiru subete inochi wo tsukuru no wa negai Gently, magic from ancient times Bloomed wildly in silence. "The power to change the world Lies in those hands of yours," it whispers. Let us have an unending dream. During this time I go through with you, My feelings alone are all that I live for. What will create my life is This wish. Translated and transliterated by bambooXZX
