Focused on the character Homura, this film studies the psychological and personality of the character through symbolism and subliminal messages, while giving us a tragic continuation of the previous story that, although melancholic, reached a minimally happy ending. While its predecessor had as main point the subversion of a genre, this subverts what had already been established by the anime. Reviewed by mcrpghk 10 / 10 Homura has always been the protagonist! It also opens the door to more entries in this series and as long as the quality stays consistent, that's not bad at all in my book. It may not be the story you want, but at the very least, it makes perfect sense and is a great exploration into the tragic character that is Homura. Granted, some say the series didn't need a continuation, and in some respects they are right, but it doesn't take away from this at all. Given her past actions and her mental state, everything she does feels organic and like a natural continuation of the series. This movie really explores her character and never feels forced. Then Homura starts getting suspicious of it.
It starts out in a world that is too good to be true. I can't go into any real detail about the story other than this. What I really like about this movie is how the main focus is on the most interesting of the magical girls in the series, Akemi Homura.
The production values are high to say the least.
It's avant-garde style make it really look unique, almost like an a bad LSD trip. Same with before, the music is excellent and the animation is dazzling. I first watched this film in theaters and after receiving the bluray yesterday and after watching it a second time, I feel like I can say that this is an exceptional film.
