Hello,
little blog of mine. Missed me? >///<
Ehem, so this time, I am going to talk about
Puella Magi Madoka Magica! (Kyaah~!) I know that the anime is probably
widely-known all over the Net, but I never had the chance to watch it, you
see.. So, there was this one time I went to a CD outlet to buy anime DVDs (of
course, what did you expect?), and I found the DVD. I was like, *gasp* Madoka
Magica, I found you! Of course I’d buy it. It costs about 20 Ringgit Malaysia
(RM), you see. That’s quite expensive, for a 14-year-old like me. But, I have
money left from Hari
Raya Aidilfitri so I used the money to buy something I
like. (It’s definitely worth it)

So, the story rounds around Kaname Madoka, a
normal girl with a normal life. Best friends, a happy family and a first-year
school life. However, everything changed after she had a weird dream about a
girl fighting a horrendous evil. The next day, she found the same girl
attending her class as a transfer student. After a while, the transfer student
– Akemi Homura – warned her of trying to change herself. She told her that if
she tries to become someone else, she will lose everything dear to her.
Kaname Madoka and her best friend, Miki Sayaka
was chosen by a small, ferret-like looking animal named Kyuubey to be magical
girls! Kyuubey explained to them, that he can grant any wish desired by the
two. However, in return, the both of them will have to form a contract with him
and become magical girls to fight witches. Tomoe Mami, their senior who had
contracted with Kyuubey, explained it in a much more easier way. “In return of
that wish, you will have to risk your lives.” Well, I have to say that is one
of the things I like about animes with fantasy genres. They always have, “in
return, you will have to..” Even in mangas! Because, in one fact, when you use
magic – for good, or evil nonetheless – you will have to pay the price.
Like, The Magic of Chocolate by Mizuho Rino,
or Hell Girl. But, yeah. I’ll talk about that later. Anyways~ I’m not going to
tell you the ending of the anime, (because that would be a spoiler..right?) but
let me give you a hint. Madoka hesitated a lot before she decided to be a
magical girl, but in the end she made a wish you could never expect. I had
chills running down my spine when she spoke out her wish. As for the shocking
truth, Akemi Homura had done something really admirable all the time. And in
the end, you will see a spectacular Madoka in a beautiful dress. If I’m not
mistaken it’s called Ultimate Madoka. Kufufu~ >w<
Ultimate Madoka design |
About the design~ hmm, this artist has a rare
type of anime drawing. It looks like chibi, but it’s not. Also, I would like to
note out the look at the eyes. They always have that zig-zag line, so it’s
quite attractive in one way. As for the magical girl design, I am soo~
impressed. They’re always so pretty. Especially Madoka’s. She has a Lolita
style dress! (Kidding!) The design is well fitting for each character, to put
it simply.
setting of the story was probably a little
further in the future. I say that because the equipment of the school, and the
furniture, and the school design were really futuristic, but other places –
such as the abandoned building, the park and the sidewalks - were just
normal-looking. That’s why. But, the school design is really pretty. And,
Madoka’s house as well! So, very lovely. I want a school AND a house like that.
So, that’s it for now. I’ll see you later!
