The ending of a story

Since winter vacation, I’ve been watching Mahoushoujo_Madoka_Magica every week. And the animation finally finished four days ago. To tell you the truth, that was the first time I stayed up until 3 a.m. for watching an animation which was ending. I would not forget what I felt at that night, since, no matter what comments people will make on the animation, in my mind it is the best work I have watched in the animation world.

At the end of story, Madoka finally got rid of her weakness and received Homura’s real intention and then, made a hopeful wish to change the rule of the world. That was a miracle, which redeemed all the Mahoushoujo form despair. Madoka dispersed from the world, and became a goddess. Although Homura was left alone, I think they will meet (or have met) again in the future. I hope so.

I seldom thank an author of any books or staff of any games or animations, but this time I think I have to do that, because that is only way I can show my appreciation to them. Thank the staff of Madoka; without you, I couldn’t watch such a masterpiece.   

I would say more, but I can’t express myself very well in English. Here is my comment written right after watching the final episode. I have expressed myself by written that article, completely.

Two-episode finale for Madoka on 4/24


     We don't have to post new articles this week, but there is the only chance for me to post the article, because our Madoka is going to come back next week on 4/24 26:40( It stands for 4/25 02:40 in Japanese time zone. ) with final two episodes at a time.

     It's kind of good luck for me because my mid-term exams will end on 4/24 as well, so I can wait for the end of the story without worrying about exams.

     By the way, when I was thinking about what topic I'd like to talk on this blog, Mahoushoujo_Madoka_Magica came into my mind first.

     At that time, I had considered that what if Madoka is finished, how can I keep my blog without changing the topic? In fact, I've finally decided that I would not change my topic. In other words, I will let the animation stay with me until I finish the appointments of blogging.

BGM time

 

     In this entry I'd like to introduce the BGM(background music) of Madoka to you.

     Please click the play button and keep the BGM(this one includes all of BGM used in Madoka for now) playing and then, read my post.


     The composer of the BGM is Kajiura Yuki (梶浦由紀) . She is famous in animation world, creating lots of music of different animations.

     I've also listened to many pieces of music by Kajiura Yuki since I started watching animations, but in fact, the first time I knew about her was through Madoka.I had never so immersed in the music of an animation before watching Madoka. Although I like singing songs, I am not into music at all. However even I could be moved by the BGM.

     To tell you a truth, this is the first time I'd like to buy an album for collection. So at the time I'm waiting for 11th episode of Madoka, I'm waiting for the album of Madoka's BGM as well.

     Thanks for Kajiura Yuki's music for Madoka. It is one of reasons makes Madoka a masterpiece.

     By the way, I got news that Madoka's OST will be released on 5/25. I don't know if that's true.

A derivative aciton game of Mahoshoujo_madoca_magica

I am going to introduce a derivative game about Mahoshoujo_madoka_magica.

Then, why would I like to choose an game made by a unknown person who also like this animation for the entry, rather than talk more about my comments or something like that on the animation?

The reason is right that the producer of the game do love the animation, I think.

Here is the producer's blog: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/he-noki/

After clicking the link, look for the first post and choose a link written below ダウンロード. Then you can found the download page of the game, and you will get it by clicking 魔法討伐隊 またぎ☆マギカ Ver.1.0X. (letter X means I don't know the latest version will be, because the producer is keeping updating.)

I know many of you who come here are not interested in animations and that watching an entire animation takes you too much time, so it might be a little difficult for you to respond to my entries if I only write about my comments about the animation.

Therefore, you should just download the game and play it( Be careful. If you have a plan to watch Mahoshoujo, please try the game after watching the latest episode or you will find the game reveals some of the plot of  Mahoshoujo) , then you will know why there would be a viewer of Mahoshoujo who produced the game, because the animation is actually memorable!

You can choose one of four characters to clear stages. The rest of the main character is still on the progress of producing. Choose anyone catches your eye and then know her attributes by manipulating.

One of the most distinctive points of the game is that it is faithful to the animation, so the bosses of the stages are "Majo"(meaning witches in English) appearing in Mahoshoujo. Every Majo itself is an admirable object of art just like they are displayed in the animation.

Last but not least, because the game might be not so easy for you, if you truly want to clear all of the stages, here is a thread of the discussion you can refer to:http://forum.gamer.com.tw/C.php?bsn=43592&snA=553&tnum=56.

Enjoy it!
