GO GERMANY! I just have to cheer for the awesome girl with eyepatch and silver hair representing my country.

But it would be funnier if she would fight against England and France, not England and China in the next episode.
Edit: Looks like everyone is fighting her (or something like that) at the end of the preview.

France seems to be really nice, apart from the whole "I manipulate you" issue.

I wonder when the Ichika/Germany fight's gonna happen. I kinda doubt they'll give it to us in the next episode simply because that's probably too many fights for one ep. But I'm still looking forward to it.

Homura is awesome, taking out Sayaka in one hit lol. More credibility is given to the time traveler theory since she knows too much.

Fuck you Kyubey. And lol at Homura being the wrench in his plans.

FUCK YOU KYUBEY. Way to entrap Sayaka. Speaking of which, Sayaka's a gonerrrr. I'm seeing FSN parallels all over the place here regarding superheroes and trying to save everyone.

It seems that Homura can only control time in bursts (judging by the way she chased that truck). And so your actual soul goes in the gem. And using magic dirties it. Huh.

I wish Kyouko would have just killed Kyubey right there.

I told you that this evil thing steals their souls. But it seems that Kyuubey is really thinking that he does something good, at least according to his values. It is just that his values differ so much from everyone else that he becomes evil in the end. But he is still creepy as hell. :/

Homura is the best. Her powers are amazing and she has to be from the future (or generic predictions of the future belong to her repertoire).

At least Sayaka is still "alive", for now. Let's see for how long.

I still wonder about the soul gems and the darkness that builds up. We got a small explanation, but it didn't explain much in the end.

Edit: And why does Kyuubey eat Grief Seeds?

To fuel his evil.

Also, they mentioned Walpurgis Nacht. I looked it up. It's a European festival to commemorate the burning of witches. They burn effigies and everything. Maybe it's a witch evaluation or something. Maybe the weak ones get killed (aka Sayaka) :O

That ties back to the food chain that Kyouko mentioned in episode 5.

Humans are at the bottom of the food chain, they get eaten by Witches and their Familiars.
Witches get eaten by Magical Girls, to purify their tainted souls.
The resulting taint gets eaten by Kyuubey.

To fuel his evil? To purify the world? To get power to perform wishes (which could imply that the wishes are probably evil in itself)?

That was an intense one.

Madoka pisses the crap out of me though. Her self-righteous behavior is so immature that it makes me half sick to the stomach just thinking about how much dumb stuff she's sad by now.

I was almost happy when Sayaka died because Madoka realized that she had killed her. lolphail

Was Mami's Soul Gem broken then? I don't explicitly remember that happening.

Even if it wasn't, her body isn't very useful without a head.

I checked episode 1 and 3 for evidence of Mami's Soul Gem getting destroyed. We never see it on screen, but her magic dissipates as her head got chewed on. Since every magical girl so far had her Soul Gem somewhere on her body in her transformed stage, I think that Mami's Soul Gem was the jewel on her hat. Since that hat got crushed and chewed on, that might be the reason why she has been killed.

If she hasn't, remember that the dimension collapsed afterwards as Homura killed the witch. Which means that she might be alive. But trapped forever in that alternate dimension, now without an exit as a soul gem, lying next to the chewed remains of her body.

Then Madoka is the biggest troll in the world. Why is Mami in the OP if she dies by number 3? -____________-x It's a bit sad and depressing.

But I almost thought I heard her voice in the preview for the next episode. O_O

Wait, who speaks the next episode title in the preview in episode 6? It doesn't sound like Mami, Madoka or Sayaka (who were featured in previous previews).

It seems that the characters that the next episodes will focus on are reading the previews. Except for Homura.
Edit: Post after me was right, the lines are said by the characters that will say them in the next episode.

For comparison:
- Ep1 had Kyuubey, Madoka, Sayaka with Madoka reading the episode title for episode 2
- Ep2 had Mami
- Ep3 had Sayaka
- Ep4 had Sayaka again
- Ep5 had Madoka
- Ep6 had Kyuubey, but who reads the next episode title?
