Well, I guess that ending was better than I envisioned though still "losing" her wasn't great I mean, she's 'there' but she's not as well seeing as only Homura remembers her existence which I find to be quite sad but understandable in the context of the story.

I'm kinda split on whether to like this ending or not. She went out with a strong finish and pretty much did the best possible wish saving all the magical girls from becoming witches and such so I like that but I still don't like that she's gone rofl. I think I'm mostly disappointed that only Homura remembers her though. Would've liked it had Sayaka, Kyoko and Mami remembered her seeing as they are all magical girls.

I think the only part that could use some work is the wish part. I mean, they can be granted any wish? That seems a bit much seeing as you can wish for anything but I guess they had to make some incentive for them to become magical girls. Also, Sayaka still dying in the final timeline after Madoka makes her wish seemed really out of the ordinary to me but I guess she doesn't regret the wish so she doesn't regret dying either it seems.

homura remembering madoka has very little to do with homura being a magical girl so it doesn't really make sense for the other girls to remember madoka. But I guess the little brother remembering Madoka doesn't make sense either and that's just there for sentimental reasons. The girls remembering would have lessened the whole point though, at least in my opinion. The other girls dying though was prevented as red girl obviously only died because of Sayaka turning into a witch, which didn't happen in the end.

Also Sayaka dying has not a lot to do with anything. Madoka's wish was that the girls would not be made into witches. All those girls that you see when Madoka "transforms" in past and future don't magically live on forever. They still die, they just don't turn into witches. And Sayaka's problem was something that wasn't changed by madokas wish at all, it's just that her turning into a witch was prevented.

That being said. It's a Drama and not a happy go lucky show like it was advertized early on so obviously it's going to be sad and ending it on a happy end would have made the whole thing laughable and the story would have become irrelevant due to some bullshit just to make people smile. That's the "shock" factor peopel were talking about despite everyone repeatedly stating that there's no shack factor to Madoka and that it's more of a "I didn't except it to turn THAT grim"

No, that's not how it works (unless you're Madoka).

The daughter will in later episodes seek romance on her foster father which made me decide to never watch the show. I know it's not technically incest but dude that is still her father. Biological or not. Kinda creepy for me. Idk if the anime reaches that part though.
