Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica

Rlly good depiction of like, predatory manipulation from the side of like, the person being preyed on and not knowing if what's happening is predatory or not? idk. I went into it knowing there was some twist or something or whatever, which manifested as me trying to figure out who was being truthful / who had ulterior motives / what the motives might be and whether or not theyre harmful. very fun. kyube like wasn't even ridiculously obvious either. They didn't get into being pushy for like, several episodes.

Also, kyube was basically right? If everything kyube said about multitudes at risk of death unless a comparatively small number of people have a really bad time, making sure those people have a really bad time is important, no? It was kindof a fun challenge against utilitarianism. Like, how can that be good if it's so obviously bad? Look at how sad these cute anime girls are. Kyube had no way to know Madoka could just magic the problem "away", so they did what was right based on what they knew. Which might have been a ridiculous amount, but obviously wasn't enough. I really liked how in the epilogue or w/e it emphasizes this by showing kyube completely admitting what they would've done if things were different and showing no malice and even intent to do good. There was a weird bit about how kyube was totally fine letting humans go extinct for one really powerful witch, which doesn't see to follow their logic, but hey, its a amine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also theyre all a buncha bitch babies. Having your soul in a rock is objectively better for fighting shit. Why tf would you no want to die less. cring

Also there were too many shot of them naked wtf
