Why not? Pretty sure you can have a gender without having emotions.

ViggyNash posted:Evil bunny cat is not a plant. Your argument is, of course, based on the assumption that kyubey is a mammal, which seems rather flawed seeing as he's an alien. Maybe he's an insect? E: Maybe you're posting out of your arse again?

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Now imagine TVTropes trying to wrap their head around the concept. Basically TVTropes read Watchmen, knew it was generally classified as a "deconstruction", saw that it was kind of a bleak and dark world, then decided that "Deconstruction is a dark/realistic take on a genre". In the same vein Madoka is a "deconstruction" to them because it is a darker take on traditional magic girl tropes as opposed to looking at any of the story elements. There, I just saved anyone from visiting TVTropes.

I think the first two films are basically the show again but edited down. I don't know if there's new content or not. Film 3 is all new content.

Im ignoring all the convoluted "anime is deep" posts because they make the Madoka movies even more overhyped garbage than they already were.

When they make a wish, they are essentially turned into sentient gems that pilot their former bodies around like meat puppets. It's not that their soul is in a gem, it's that they themselves are the gems. It's not really a cultural thing it's more that they have literally become something other than human now.

/\/\While there may be a slight cultural reference that can be twisted out of it, I don't think that the soul gems are supposed to be a nod to shintoism.ViggyNash posted:I've always thought of the Soul Gems as being the singular core of their being, so to distill their core into a vulnerable material object is a huge burden on them. It's been a while since i watched the show but I'm pretty sure the point of the soul gems is that they aren't vulnerable. In fact I'm pretty sure the rationale is that they are turned into soul gems because the soul gem can't be damaged like their bodies can. The burden is essentially from discovering that you have been transformed into something alien, something the mind struggles to comprehend. You are the rock, looking through your puppet's eyes at yourself. You are not human. Namtab fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Jan 15, 2015 |

Sinking Ship posted:With this line of thought though isn't weird that they can 'die'? Like Mami dies when she gets decapitated but her soul gem was unharmed (wasn't it? been a minute since I watched that episode). So does that mean she didn't actually die? We don't know what they experience when disconnected from their human puppets though, but based on the evidence it seems as though they are essentially inert, unable to think or sense anything. I don't remember what happens to Mami's soul gem though, although the only things that would be able to affect it would be corruption (but that would rely on use of magic, which she is unable to do) or kyubey eating it (I don't think that happens). Interesting thought though: What if they gave Mami's soul gem to another girl who lost hers? Would Mami take control? Would the girl just reawaken? Or would nothing happen, the implication being that part of what makes the system work is the gem being specifically tied to a single puppet? E: Actually, scratch all that above. If the gem breaks when Mami's puppet is damaged sufficiently then that implies that the gem is tied to the puppet it controls. However later on Sakuya is able to take quite heavy amounts of damage after she finds out about how the gems work (although admittedly she never loses her head). Perhaps part of the effect is based on what a person's perception of themself is. Mami did not know she was not human so she dies when she thinks she should. Homura knows that she is the soul gem so she is able to damage it with her own magic. Sakuya knows that she is the soul gem so she is able to take a fatal level of damage without dying, because she knows her body is a shell. Maybe I'm overthinking anime Namtab fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Jan 15, 2015 |

Lord Justice posted:My apologies, but I don't really agree with that sort of approach as it were. At least not in regards to Madoka, which I feel isn't really possible to "over-analyze" due to the complexity of the work, especially with Rebellion. My attempts at analysis are really my attempt to understand Madoka on a deeper level, which I feel is possible because Madoka's construction allows for that sort of thing. My understanding of the work has shifted remarkably from when I first watched Rebellion over a year ago, and much of that is thanks to my analysis, both here and elsewhere. Rebellion, to me, is now a better film than it was a year ago, and that completely stems from my changing perspective on the work. In a sense, it almost feels like Rebellion was explicitly designed to be interpreted such that, to really understand Rebellion, such analysis is functionally a requirement. lol Seriously though, please stop using 5 words where 1 will do.
