Yeah, I understand what you mean. I wonder if that’s how my friends felt, the ones I brought to the theater and haven’t seen Madoka before.

Weekend tickets were all sold out, but they had weekday tickets, so we went there on Wed night. It started from 6pm and went until 11pm. There was a 15 min intermission between two films.

Yes, I think Madoka’s mom was really cool, yes, not necessary career woman but just being herself is good to go, but I was also impressed by her house dad taking care of a baby brother, which many men of the younger Japanese generation want as an option when they get married.

For me, TV series wasn’t that clear, it was really sophisticated and deep and very metaphysical, so initially I wasn’t into Madoka that much. But watching the films again as a digest and discussing with friends, I now understand more about it, and have come to love it. So, I guess I can say because of otaku friends, I’ve become a Madoka fan.

I live in NYC, but didn’t even know about it!

I think what I was trying to go at is that some people want to be soldiers and kill enemies (or as idealized by movies & video games, for example), but what Madoka is driving at is that by living the dream you become the thing you hate most. Ironically it is also, in some cases, the point of certain works of media in an non-ironic way.

Do people want to become killing machines for Uncle Sam? Some probably do, and there are pretty solid career paths for those folks. I guess that isn’t so bad–more like the post-Godoka Madoka Magica world. More like if every dead US Marine became the undead, and your mission is to kill every one of them, again.

I’m sorry here, but when I read this, I found this a really confusing and problematic statement at best. Can you explain why you chose to write this, add more context behind it?
