I was going to rewatch the beginning of the episode to see really what Kyubey said to Madoka and if us fans should have picked up on any subtle deception. Like oh hi remember become a Magical girl so you can be the best witch ever type stuff.
But I didn't really think anything of Kyubey's speech. It was very....general. Crafted so the audience would not be onto the schemes of the writer. Madoka was acting like a cry baby, Homura was in danger, and Kyubey said Madoka had to be a magical girl to help save Homura. Everything was said right. As in it really fit the mood of happening AFTER all the craziness but all said in such a way that wouldn't have fans going MOG WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
So what is this post about then? Not Kyubey's words which once again just told the minimum of truth. Nope folks, this is about the first 11 seconds of the show. Maybe it is nothing but I think it is a clue to how Homura has been coming back in time to stop Madoka often. Let's analyze things shall we?
Okay we have curtains rising as the first scene. This would signal the START of a play/anime/movie yes?
This appears to be the opening "credits" if you would. Like "Presented by so and so company". Still the opening act yes?
When this episode first came out no one knew what this could mean. But now knowing what we know could this craziness be the result of Madoka's wish? The universe using Madoka's energy to balance things out so to speak? Or maybe this is what Madoka's witch space looks like? HMMM!!!
Then things go black? Um what is going on folks?!
OH CRAP FOLKS! What is that you hear? That would be the sound a movie projector makes when a film has ended. And on your screen? Yeah that would be the silly stuff that is shown at the end of a movie if you stay after the credits. The random stuff that lets people know the end of the reel has been reached.
Then AFTER the movie has stopped we have Madoka running down a hall. As if we are at the beginning NOW and not the first 11 seconds of the show.
So what does any of this prove? Possibly nothing. But to me it proves that Homura has been going back in time over and over again to stop Madoka. That she has become harden over the SAME deaths of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko and that is why she doesn't go out of her way to stop them. Because they are inevitable.
Putting this with the fact that when Madoka tried to remember who Homura was we got a TV like screen of fuzz I think this is a strong theory. And to me this symbolizes that in most time lines Madoka does become the witch, Homura is forced to reset everything, and that is the actual beginning of the episode. So the opening of episode 1 is both the end of the series and the beginning. Madoka "remembering" the past battle is the starting point. It remains to be seen though if this will happen again or if Homura will be able to change things this time, thus starting the cycle.
Either way though...the beginning is really the end of the past end that is now the beginning. XD Makes perfect sense yes?
Now the question is do we want to see the ending that Homura has been experiencing all this time or do we want a "happy" ending? As happy as three dead magical girls can get yes? Whatever ending we get I don't see a season two happening so we better enjoy the episodes we have left. X__X
