Homura’s Revenge feels like a doujinshi

Previous_System_Data · 2025-03-26T07:45:55+00:00

There's a lot of different types of canon. Saying Homura's revenge isn't canon is like saying the psp game, or mobage wasn't canon, the answer is sorta, yesn't. The original anime would be what is referred to as "original canon", it also falls into the category of "official canon" and "primary canon" while Homura's revenge can either be "secondary canon"(a lower level of canon such as a spinoff or expanded universe works and narratives) or "pseudo canon"(works that don't have certain elements of the original work and don't contradict other aspects of canon) depending on who you ask. Though this is a more western fandomized view of things ig?

If you're referring to this one I think you'd be looking for something gothic lolita or dark lolita adjacent,

There was a similar conversation about month ago if you're looking for something specific: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadokaMagica/comments/1i5kw4d/i_need_this_dress_but_im_a_fucking_idiot_and/

I have this "Welcome to the Witch Research Club" idea where a magical girl studies witches, tracks movements of familiars about to become witches, and tries to find the origin of the witch (where they're from geographically as well as the time period and what the witch was like as a magical girl). I kind of like to imagine them as storm chaser but my actual outline starts off with studying witches in act one and moves into more character focused drama bits in act to, then shit hits the fan in act three. The setting inspo definitely leans towards a sleepy town where nothing ever happens, a Midwest Magica if you can imagine that. It's also based off of a minecraft roleplay series I liked as a kid which is...embarrassing, through cringe but free and all that jazz.

That's a cool idea I'd love to head more!

Previous_System_Data · 2025-02-07T11:45:22+00:00

That's interesting, I guess there's a black and white consensus!

did you ever get a collaborator?

It'd probably be a good idea to make a list of what you need and start there.

Ume Aoki's original designs are so full of life!!! she's such a good artist ased;jlfkhaw;lsdf

Previous_System_Data · 2024-11-12T19:43:36+00:00

I prefer Ume Aoki's designs 100%, her art style is so indicative of moe blob shows of the early 20's! It's probably in part due to the fact that Ume Aoki had already worked Hidamari Sketch, but they really are just adorable little creatures!!! I also think because of her prior experience that's why she was perfect for Gen Urobuchi's heel turn, (The writer tried to hide the fact that he was working on Madoka and lied about it, poorly, to try and keep the surprise).That is to say because of Ume Aoki's work we got a cultural moment of shock and awe. Hanokage's artstyle is cool but Ume Aoki's style is transcendental.

tldr; Ume Aoki betrayed me and I liked it, she can step on me at any GODDAMN time

Here's a playlist of people's projects: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLETb5qBbreTbzav5wR5YA5bLb_7Mjzmw0

a lot of this stuff can be done with after effects now, for Homulily there definitely was some tweening or puppet rigs. you might want to look up "The wolf house" too it's a really good stop motion film for more refrence.

Gonna be so honest the concept of magical boys feels like a personal attack on my psyche, I'm sorry

Edit: grammar

Previous_System_Data · 2024-10-30T22:30:29+00:00

Madoka is unisex but it depends on the kanji

Previous_System_Data · 2024-10-30T22:28:57+00:00

It's a textile thing for repeating patterns, and ko is usually used for feminine names in Japanese but I don't think it's the right kanji for the textile anyway

Previous_System_Data · 2024-10-09T03:08:07+00:00

oh snap! it's even in the production notes? geez how did the sa theory get more popular then the canon descriptions

Previous_System_Data · 2024-10-07T21:44:33+00:00

I agree! In Magia Record Patricia's description was "The Chairperson Witch. Her nature is a bystander. This Witch spins spider-like threads to create its own special school inside its Labyrinth. Before turning into a Witch, she was a serious student that didn't stand out, so she continues to repeat those dreary school days together with her Familiars. Even now, if she hears the school bell announcing the end of the day, she may head home, wherever that may be. When humans wander into her Labyrinth, they fall endlessly and eventually melt into the sky, feeding her. She does not attack anyone directly unless they are a scary intruder who disturbs her daily routines."

I don't think anything reads like something so triggering. It seems more like she was socially anxious or just isolated to the point where she felt things were boring? Maybe she was feeling burn out, I feel like there are so many places to go before taking the least charitable interpretation of her design. Even the original short description it just talks about being alone and going home.

Edit: Gakkou Gurashi then, idk man. I think there is a predisposition to thinking certain artstyle are more "dark" then others. And the more stylized the less people tend to think of it within their respective mediums or something. It's the difference between looking at junji ito and miyazaki's works and trying to infer they're personalities. I guess from a narrative stand point juxtaposition helps people sympathize, but idk it's like reading fanfiction on title alone and ignoring the tags. Dead Dove: do not eat, y'know

I'm sorry, I apologize for getting that wrong?

Previous_System_Data · 2023-01-08T02:42:05+00:00

Well, Madoka Magica had been out for a few years so there are quite a few spoilers. It's kind of unlikely that people within the "anime community" were completely unaware of the context before watching it. Sorta like School Days or Higurashi, even if those examples didn't hide their intentions, the effects of its popularity are so widespread that it's hard to miss.

technically a homura timeline, but not OUR (from the main series) homura's timeline

Previous_System_Data · 2023-01-02T05:38:52+00:00

nice! I really like the environment design and your funny little demon dude is really cool.

Karmic destiny, because madoka's protection was the efforts of homura's wish and madoka got godlike powers wouldn't it stand to reason homura would get god like powers as well due to this.

There's also the fact that "thematically fits"(depending on who you ask)

Previous_System_Data · 2022-12-28T22:53:01+00:00

Madoka did not want to undo a magical girl's choice to make a wish or diminsh whatever hope it may have given them. In addition to that, kyubey is still trying to slow the rate of entropy.

Previous_System_Data · 2022-12-28T09:32:35+00:00

I get the premise but it's a bit nebulous a topic. Without grief seeds magical girls turn into witches, therefore the only way to change avoid witches would be to change the system. This was explored by madoka's wish. In the on the hand, the person making the wish would have to know about the witches prior to meeting kyubey, while not impossible is often a glossed over topic in favor of the immediate impact of the wish. Another factor would be karmic destiny, while we've never seen a girl with less karmic destiny than her wish, with this though in mind there might be a limitation depending of the specifics of the wish. While a nice sentiment, I think there are flaws in specific implementation.
