d3bansen// This post will contain Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht: Rising SPOILERS...
Last Sunday I went to the cinema to watch the new Madoka movie! I've always been a huge Madoka fan! It was one of the first animes I ever watched and I've rewatched it lots of times, but I can't say the same for the movies, or just Rebellion haha, I think I have watched Rebellion like 3 times at best! But Oh my, how i love it! I find the obsession of Homura one of the most interesting things about the show and movies itself, I think it's nice is such a main theme, this distorded idea of love and preservation of the happiness of Madoka that Homura has.
Rising feels a lot like Rebellion, it's, to it's core basically the same movie but with more lore and a somewhat "similar" conclusion. I don't think this is bad, is actually so interesting what it has to say about Walpurgisnacht, and this new introduction to these characters that are on screen and Homura's doppelganger hahaha, it's quite a mystery for a while, for me the origin of why she looks like Homura didn't impact me as much as I would like it would, but nonetheless, it was a wonderful wonderful movie!
The visuals were amazing and this concept of the Lizard Phone was such an interesting thing to do for Homura, I wish we could've seen more of it with other girls, but it's undertandable that it wasn't like that to give all credits to the main plotline, which I would say is Walpurgisnacht, even when you don't notice, is all about them and of course Madoka herself.
In my opinion, for visuals only, it was so worth the wait, and I'm saying this JUST for the visuals, but the story of the movie it's so interesting and exciting too! I actually need so much more now!! More Madoka!!
I think my only 2 negative comments about the movie would be:
1. Madoka's new outfit is so so ugly compared to her original one! Even the new girls had cuter outfits! I don't undertand why Madoka has this mess of a dress, it has so much stuff that tries to look cute or even cool, but just looks like a mess! I don't like it :/
2. The ending. I think it's nice it ends almost the same with Rebellion, Homura is not a bad girl, she's just too obsessed with Madoka and having her be happy, and I think that's nice!! Madoka deserves to live and be happy as Homura wishes. For me, it's just a little weird seeing the other girls support Homura's "demon" powers to have Madoka become herself again and not be the Law of Cycles... I guess Madoka is just destined to be and help other magical girls, since she's so selfless and generous and kind aughhh
It's not a bad ending, I like the ending! My problem is with the others trying to say this things to Homura, like "You're the demon! How can you give up? Go after her, again!" It feels kind of out of character. But maybe it's not bad, is just that I'm so used to Homura being left out because she's basically "the bad one", I guess it's sweet in this movie they're all together in this, fighting Selema and such.
When I watch it again I will probably have a different opinion, watching on the cinema is also a very different experience! You can't pause the movie to reflect on what just happend or what someone said, everything is happening now and fast! So when I get to watch more undisturbed I'll take in mind this writings.
But as a general review, I give it a 10/10. No decimals, no nothing. Perfect movie, I love madoka <3
