I should say this is the Mahou Shoujo of all mahou shoujos.
Now, if you were to sell your soul for eternity for just one wish, what would that wish be?
「私ー 全ての魔女生まれる前消していたい！
全ての宇宙、過去と未来の全ての魔女、この手でー！」
「神さまでも何でもいい、
今日まで魔女と戦っていた皆を、
希望を信じた魔法少女、
私は泣かせたくない、
最後まで笑顔でいて欲しい。
それを邪魔するルール、
壊してみせる、変えてみせる！
これが私の祈り、私の願い！」
Sometimes, a truly special person comes along with a simple wish in her heart, but a wish so powerful that it elevates her not to a state of godhood, but to a universal law of nature.
I wondered what would happen if one of the Mahou Shoujos asked for a contradiction. Now I know. I'm still wrapping my head around that mind-blowing yet logical conclusion.
In one shot. The scene as Madoka, completely transformed, unleashes her barrage of arrows through all time and space in order to end all the suffering was astounding. Coupled with the melancholic background symphony, that scene was simply stunning.
In the end, it was not about defeating the bad guys, for there were none - not even Kyuubei. It was about living your life, and finding and fulfilling your greatest desire; and in so doing, change everything and everyone that you've ever shared your life with.The last episode simply left me awe-inspired.
