Your gateway to endless inspiration
I still can't believe I became a Madoka fan at such a perfect time. I knew about the show and had even seen episodes 2 and 3 at anime club back in HIGHSCHOOL. But only decided to watch it THIS YEAR! And that turned out to be the perfect time because everything about that time has lined up First there was that whole thing about my idea of a Yandere devil being realized in Rebellion like I mentioned before Then I interacted with old fan content just in time to hear the new teenage mutant ninja turtles movie play the rap that the Madoka rap is to the tune of... TWICE! I think I even caught Karina Drawfee making a Meduka Meguca reference on a recent stream And of course now MADOKA IS COMING BACK! After so many years an actual trailer has come out for a new movie and the fandom hype is in full swing! I showed up just in time to get all that hype without sitting through any long wait. But How? How is it that I ended up watching Madoka now of all times. Well, tis somehow because of fucking Wixoss! (pronounced wee-cross). A friend and I were just browsing through anime on a site looking for something weird and I saw there were a bunch of shows with this name. Turns out tis a card game anime, unique among them by having girls play all of the card games instead of standing to the side and commenting without ever playing. Though I'm not sure if the game was really marketed towards girls since all the cards are also pretty girls that seem intended as waifu material. Anyway, in Wixoss there are some prophetic visions of some weird apocalypse kind of like Madoka's Walpurgisnacht dreams, and whichever cardgame-playing-girl can beat all the others gets to make a wish. So I was explaining that to another friend, and she was all "Do they turn into witches? This sounds a lot like Madoka." and that's what got us talking about Madoka in the year 2023, and she eventually convinced me to watch it. So I guess I have the weird card game anime Wixoss that I only watched like 3 episodes of to thank for my being part of the Madoka fandom. Hope that was amusing! I'm pretty sure one of the main characters of Wixoss wanted to use her wish to make it so that her brother and her weren't related so that it would be okay to date him.
