Scene0 seems fascinating…

I mean, besides the fact I can’t read Japanese to even get a grasp of what exactly is going on, I am absolutely mesmerized by the shift in how the game and story plays aesthetically.

There are a couple things that I’m really digging from Scene0 and, funny enough, it isn’t related to the story itself lol!

No. 1: it feels very cinematic. I guess because of the nature of the magical girl who’s taking the spotlight this time around, the event feels just like watching a movie. It’s kind of like an upgraded version of the usual way we’ve been going through stories up until the Agent Magica event.

No. 2: The close ups of Mabayu’s sprite are very unique and I think she’s the first character in the game to have such thing. I like it because it takes away a little bit of the monotony in which characters express themselves. It’s quite immersive and helps adding a certain level of importance to whatever she’s doing here.

No. 3: I don’t wanna glorify no character that isn’t Kanagi, but Mabayu wins when it comes to facial expressions. There’s a lot of attention to detail that went into her animated sprite and it has made her a very likeable character. At least to me. I like her way more now than when I first saw her design a couple years ago.

No. 4: One of the best animated transformation sequences we have had in a while. I used to hate her hair but I kinda live for it now. They ruined it with her anime style sprite, though.

There was actually a very fascinating thing about her transformation and, I don’t know if y’all noticed but, that scene when her card is supposed to materialize in takes a lot longer than usual. It’s kind of cool cuz it adds some really nice suspense, emotion, eagerness and excitement of seeing a girl becoming meguca for the first time.

All in all this event is truly a good improvement to everything this game has done in the past few years. I would love if there could be an animated OVA or some sort cuz it feels deserving of one.

Mabayu, sis! Welcome home!

DAY 7

I want to draw Mabayu very badly but also I only have enough motivation to draw something postable once a day and I need to save that for Karintober so compromise!

Dude I feel so awful for Homura. From Scene 0 it looks like so far (I’m still on day 4) even if Homura gets allies she cannot save Madoka, from Magia Record even a whole slew of Magicial Girls trying to fight their fate Madoka’s fate still could not be prevented.

And its like

Tw grooming

I cannot believe how well Kyubey groomed all the girls and how Mabuyu was able to somewhat realize she was going to be groomed.

I wonder how well represented the way Kyubey’s grooming is, I think its pretty realistic. Of the constant manipulation and switching tactice when the girls dont respond well at first. Of targeting girls who are at their weakest, leaving alone the girls who wont respond, making the girls feel so lonely that they of their own volition find other girls to join them unknowingly continuing the cycle of abuse.

And I never thought about how easy of a target Madoka herself is! Shes the prime target! Kyubey only goes to Sayaka after Madoka’s introduces Sayaka to him, Sayaka did have the foresight to not trust Kyubey which Madoka who was underconfident and believed she was absolutely useless did not. Madoka’s total lack of faith in herself made her a really good target for Kyubey’s grooming and its AWFUL. Its not Madoka’s fault that her STILL developing confidence was taken advantage off like this. And I can imagine the frusteration Homura felt trying her best to undo that grooming and all of it falling in deaf ears, trying to get someone who is being groomed to recognize they are is an extremely difficult task even for full grown adults with experience!

It just breaks my heart that there was no winning for anyone.

And oh my god the horror of realizing Mami was also helping Kyubey groom girls into being magical girls. Mami had no idea thats what was done to her and actually continuing the cycle by pulling other girls to join her.

The contrast of how Kyoko kind of broke away a bit of that same grooming by refusing to recruit other girls unless they were fully informed and chose that decision(which i know isnt a real educated decision but the best decision a teen can make at that time). It kind of shows also how there are diff ways of breaking away from it too no matter how small. Kyoko cannot stop fighting or being a magicial girl as her life depends on it but she IS preventing other girls from following her path by very simply not involving them.

But man, Homura’s helplessness hits so hard. I feel like Scene0 really expanded on that and showed how severly Homura’s mind had broken because it HAS.

i didnt really like the ending of scene zero but mabayus mss made up for it as a good epilogue but im still so so so sad about how it all turned out like the time paradox being resolved was so fucking perfect but then the actual issue of her existence not being in the final timeline and how that was handled makes me want to fucking cry like all her precious memories and her friendships and her relationship with homura and homuras memories of her and their bond and she just snipped it all away its so jnfair im gonna sob myself to sleep
