And before I get asks saying I'm overthinking what Madoka is about: It's literally a show heavily inspired by Revolutionary Girl Utena, a show about the female lead wanting to be like a fairytale prince so she could protect women, before realizing that the prince she built her personality around is imaginary and a farce and that no man is really like that.
The annoying thing with twst constantly referencing Madoka is that Madoka is a show that is, ultimately, a piece on how misogyny harms every young woman... while twst is a game with solely male main characters, essentially hollowing out the meaning of Madoka Magica to surface level observations and themes while playing into societal misogyny.
Anyways this can be fixed if we make Malleus a lesbian goodnight everyone!
#utena is A Lot#just emotionally and mentally#I still need to finish watching but urghhh its the heaviest fucking anime ive ever watched#and Ive literally watched devilman#its like. the Berserk of shoujo#watching the episode where a male character tries to take advantage of and openly trying to coerce Utena into sex after killing her pride#and telling her to become another feminine damsel in distress is so like aghh aaaghhhhh#that's not even the episode that has consistently made me quit#its the one where we meet anthy's brother and uhhh people who've watched it Know What Im Talking About#and ik his introduction is when things REALLY start getting bad and ugh
