![]() ![]() You're probably wondering if any of this connects to Madoka and her crew, but they were mostly absent in the final season. Alina Gray is someone we don't know what to feel about when we first see her, but she was one that probably needed some more explanation, based on the decisions she makes at the end. Kuroe, Momoko and Mifuyu were a little more involved here than the others. ![]() To see not even Yachiyo get meaningful screen time after a big deal was made of her in the first season is rather disappointing. This is a shame because of how much screen time they collectively had in the first season - this kind of makes it feel like a waste because it reduces them to much less than what we believed they'd be. They kind of just fill the spots of "another magical girl". Yachiyo was the star of the first season and even though you can tell that her principles held constant here, she really doesn't have a ton of screen time, along with Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, Kaede and Rena. I liked what they did here because it presents us with a bit of a Catch-22, all because Iroha wanted to be the responsible sister. Then you see what her and her friends are feeling when all is said in done. Ui, on the other hand, doesn't have a lot to her until her storyline wraps up. She just wants it to end well, and I wasn't a fan of the script that was used with her. Iroha unfortunately doesn't screen leader to me, and the decisions that she makes along the way don't come even close to Madoka and her crew. (7/10)Ĭharacters: Iroha is the obvious lead here, and even though she didn't have as much screen time as we were likely expecting, it was done so at the expense of Ui and her crew which was the right call. You get to the end and notice that one of the main plot points has not changed even in the slightest. I really liked the obstacles that get in our girls' way, and if only there was more time to stretch out that last episode, it could have ended on a much higher note. There's a very good season Magic Record had all the conflict with the magical girls that it does, and linking it back to Ui's storyline was one thing that I felt was done really well. The obvious storyline is what happened to Ui, and they do a fantastic job at showing her storyline from her point of view. There are snippets of our characters feeling like there's no real hope here and I thought it was well executed. The pacing is unfortunately too quick to really dig deep into what we see on the screen, including some pretty major fights that occur during the course of the series that really don't go our Magical Girls' way. They clearly know how they wanted to answer everything, but with only four episodes to address this, it really feels rushed. we saw in the previous two seasons and while Season 2 answers some questions, it didn't touch on them all. There are still a bunch of loose ends to tie up with regards to what ![]() To start off, there is a lot to unpack here, and that's kind of the final season's biggest problem. Based on my opening quotation by Iroha, you can likely tell the mood that this finale seeks to invoke upon its audience. Story: Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story Final Season continues, and finishes, our journey with Iroha Tamaki and friends, as they look to stop Touka and Nemu from finishing their plan to launch Embryo Eve at Walpurgisnacht. ![]()
