Madoka Magica ch01-02

[beckerbell]

There is going to be a lot of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica in this post again. (I can't help it, it's kind of eating me, okay! And it's not like fandom is giving me fic yet or anything.) I'm circling the anime sites like a hawk for episode 8, but I haven't even seen a raw yet. T__T

DID YOU GET THE PIRATES SENTAI YET

BECAUSE THIS SHIT IS AWESOME

I BET YOU NEVER WONDERED WHAT GEKI RED WOULD LOOK LIKE IN A FEMALE VERSION, BUT BY GOD THEY PROVIDED IT.

CAPTAIN MARVELOUS DEMANDS YOU WATCH THIS SHIT.

I also have seven eps of Madoka waiting but my backlog of H50 is more hilariously terrifying.

[beckerbell]

I WATCHED THE FIRST EPISODE (and, like, three minutes of the second one) and I LOVE IT WITH A PASSION.

CAPTAIN MARVELOUS.

I LAUGHED LIKE A DEMENTED LOON EVERY TIME THEY SAID HIS NAME. EVERY TIME.

For a minute I started to wonder, wait, does that mean that they're saying all the previous Sentai series took place in the same continuity? BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE. Or did they just take place in the same continuity in this series? AND LOL OMG IT'S THE SENTAI VERSION OF DECADE, THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME.

Also SPACE PIRATES and I laughed SO VERY HARD AT THEIR AMAZING SHIP BECAUSE IT IS AMAZING.

I have yet to decide who I ship yet, though. It's a little distressing. :|

P.S. You know what you should watch instead of Suite Precure? Heartcatch Precure. IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD. Though, Madoka Magica is seriously aces and I know you've watched enough magical girl anime to get why it's so awesome. :D :D :D

It promises to be so so fabulous. When you watch the second ep, you notice the kid is wearing a red shirt and I was like, LOL, TINY RED.

I actually think i would ship Red and Pink! I really really like Pink so far, she's so old fashioned and calm and sweet, also she isn't like, plump or whatever but she probably doesn't pose in bikinis for a living either, so I like her.

Blue, however, Blue just follows Red around with his eyes like a really devoted Rottweiler. Already I'm like, Your delicious angsty backstory, TELL ME OF IT.

And everybody's so awesome! and they all love each other! and beat up on Green! accidentally!

[beckerbell]

I always generally like Pink a lot, but... I am feeling like, maybe I might ship Red/Pink this time around?? WHICH IS SO WEIRD FOR ME, I ALMOST NEVER DO?? On the other hand, I think I might ship Red/Yellow, too, just because they are both my favorites forever.

I'm not sure about Red and Blue yet--I mean, that's my usual thing! But I haven't yet really gotten a read on this Blue and I failed to notice him giving ~*eyes*~ to Red, so I was thinking this year they might not go the Red/Blue route?

BUT I'M WAITING UNTIL WE GET HIS DELICIOUS ANGSTY BACKSTORY.

And I love that Green is the team kicktoy. Sometimes, not even on purpose! It just ~*happens*~. I fully expect him to have a gay OTP by the quarter mark of the series.

OH AND THE EVIL ROYAL ALIEN. I KIND OF LOVE HIM? BRATTY SPOILED PRINCES WHO HAVE TANTRUMS, I LAUGHED SO HARD, OKAY.

[beckerbell]

I SAW THAT THE RAW HAS BEEN POSTED, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN SUBS YET.

AS:DLKJASD:LKAJL:AKJALKJ WHY ARE YOU MAKING THE WAIT MORE TORTUROUS??

[beckerbell]

I've been eying gg's site, since they usually get it out first (and obsessively refreshing tokyotoshokan to see if anyone's gotten it out yet) but I suspect it won't be for a few more hours yet, no matter where I look.

I have been obsessively hunting for art on Pixiv while I wait between episodes and it sort of helps, but not really because I want to know where everything is going and THIS IS WHY I TRY TO WAIT UNTIL THE WEEKENDS TO WATCH, BECAUSE THEN IT'S LESS TIME TO WAIT. It's easier knowing I have the episode, if I really need it, rather than this torturous obsessive refreshing and desperate need for it RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.

You're a bad person for encouraging it. ;__;

YOU WERE RIGHT THEY TURN INTO WITCHES HOLY SHIT

[beckerbell]

I AM GLAD I (JUST FINISHED) WATCHED THE EPISODE BEFORE READING THIS COMMENT.

asldk;fjaslkj oh my god this series I can't even

[littledelusion]

I AM ACTUALLY TEMPTED TO WATCH THIS ENTIRE SERIES NOW. I'VE JUST BEEN READING COMMENTS AND RECAPS, BUT HOLY SHIT, MIND BLOWN.

[beckerbell]

It's an amazing series (at least it is if you've watched a few magical girl series before to get a feel for the genre and how they're subverting the tropes of it) and episode 8 was its finest one yet. Just. I am blown away by how intense and how good it is.
