Cubemario posted:How does that work anyway? I see it a lot in anime where teenagers live alone in an apartment, how is that legal? My understanding is that it's not super uncommon for (rich) parents to get their high-school aged children an apartment near their school if it's all the way across town (which it often is because of the system where children apply for the schools they want to enter, rather than just being assigned the nearest one). That's obviously different than the parents being out of the country, but it's plausible the same set of laws cover it.

Bro Enlai posted:You know, those things are going for $400 on eBay, compared to $50-75 for the others. Everyone in my theatre got either the Sayaka/Kyouko or the Mami/Nagisa. Funny, I was at one of the Seattle showings and we didn't get any of that. Camrips tend to be too lovely anyways--I'll wait for the BDs for my inevitable rewatch.

I can easily see a reading that as the Magical Girl->Witch transition is or can be a metaphor for puberty, it's only natural that Homura, the only Magical Girl who owns her transition, rather than being ruled by it, would embrace her place as an adult, and the sexuality that comes with it. There's definitely more to it than "tits are good"

The devil Homura figure is pretty cool, and looks good next to the Godoka figure. Also, stop freaking the gently caress out over cleavage, it fits thematically and sexuality won't kill you. Yes, some works are over-sexualized, but that doesn't mean sexualization is inherently bad.

I was gonna say there's a difference between seinen and shounen but apparently seinen means teenagers and shounen means actual children, I always thought the term meant something older. Well that's your update into my life.

Lord Justice posted:Sexualization is, at least in the case of female characters, designed solely to objectify them for the purposes of male titillation. This becomes even worse when it using teenage characters in a similar fashion. I don't see why it is a controversial or contrarian opinion to be against that sort of thing. Sometimes boobs are just boobs, not weapons used by the patriarchy to oppress women.

Here's a handy cheat sheet: The closeup of Mami's boobs? Titillation, the "bad" (though that's debatable) kind of sexualization Homura's devil outfit? A character expressing her sexuality in-universe in a way consistent with her character, the "good" kind of sexualization Please nobody write an effortpost on how this analysis is incredibly simplistic and there's shades of gray, I don't think Lord Justice could withstand it.

Lord Justice posted:Are you attempting to argue that Urobuchi compromised his writing? Because he didn't, he made the change to Rebellion on his own after getting Shinbou's input. Everything in Rebellion, including the ending, works as an extension of the series, Urobuchi didn't write what he did solely for the monetary implications. He's a better writer than that. Praise lord Urobuchi, for he can do no wrong.

Actually Mami's wish was probably "I want to live, also make me have tits the size of my head at age 14" so maybe she's not so bad at it after all.

Starsnostars posted:Sayaka got increased healing powers after her healing wish, I wonder what extra powers a cake wish would have granted. The impression I got is that becoming a magical girl doesn't actually fulfill your wish, it just gives you the magic you need to fulfill it your own drat self. So Kyubey would probably just toss her a cookbook and call it a day.

Torquemadras posted:Okay. The author is Gen Urobuchi (fate/zero, psycho-pass, tons of other stuff I'm forgetting), though this is his best work or close to it. The animation was done by shaft (nisekoi, monogatari series, tons of other stuff). The closest thing to more Madoka (besides watching the third movie, which is good) is probably Fate/Zero. Same author (though he was working with someone else's IP), same music composer, one of the best animation studios around (though the art is much more grounded than Madoka, there's nothing like the witch sequences).

In my experience, Urobuchi does good work 3/5 the time, bad work 1/5 of the time, and mediocre work 1/5 of the time. I have seen five things he did.
