Translator's comment: There was a long discussion between five "noted commentators" on the anime, why it was so popular even outside the usual anime fandom, and what it means to contemporary Japanese and the society. Its online site has one short report, named "Why grown-up men also cried after they watched PMMM" Source: [1]
「最後にね、友情がね、奇跡を起こすんですよ……」と切なげに語るのは、精密機械メーカーで営業職の中山亨さん（仮名・38歳）だ。 "It was the ending.. There was friendship, and it made a miracle...". Nakayama-san (age 38), working in a precise instrument maker company, said with some sadness.
「まどかとさやか、まどかとマミさん、さやかと杏子、いろんな組み合わせの友情が描かれますが、すべて過酷な運命に翻弄され報われない結果を迎えます。でも、まどかとほむらだけが最後の最後に奇跡を起こす。しかも、まどかは因果を受け入れ、せっかく成就した友情という絆をも軽々と乗り越えてしまう。なんか、その奇跡に立ち会えたことに感謝したくなるんですよ」
"There were various friendship pair-ups like Madoka and Sayaka, Madoka and Mami, Sayaka and Kyouko, in the show, and all of them were tossed around by cruel fate and met an unfulfilled end. But there was also Madoka and Homura - only they managed to cause a miracle at the end of the end. Not only that, Madoka accepted all the causes and effects and calmly got over the hold-up resulting from a friendship that finally bore fruit. Well, it made me want to say thanks for being able to encounter such a miracle."
保険会社に勤める斉田哲治さん（仮名・42歳）は「僕も、まどかのように取り柄がないんですよ。『僕には何ができるんだ？』って、ずっとそういうふうに悩んでいました」と告白する。
Saida-san (age 42), who worked in an insurance company, said "I don't think I have the merit as shown by Madoka. I have always been troubled by the thought 'What am I able to do?'"
「いわば凡人であるまどかが、選択を繰り返し何かを得たり失ったり。だからこそ最後の選択に心が震えるわけです。お母さんが背中を押してくれるシーン、歴代の魔法少女たちを慰撫するシーン、あぁ、もう目から汗が……。あ、でも、杏子も好きですよ」
"Madoka is a so-called "ordinary person" and she came across repeated occasions of choices and through the choices won something and lost something. And because of all these I could feel my shuddering at my heart when I saw her final choice. The scene when her mother came to back her up; the scene when she comforted all those mahou shoujo in history...Ah! My eyes are already watering.... Ah, and also I really love Kyouko!"
「まどかの行為は滅私のようで、その実、愛する人たちとの関係性を内包し続けるという自己愛で、本人もそれに自覚的」と気難しい顔で語るのは高城亮さん（仮名・34歳）。
Takagi-san (age 34) said with a moody face, "It looked as if Madoka's behavior was all altruistic, but in its core, there was also the self-love which also continued to be inclusive of the links towards all those she loved. I am also very much aware of such within myself."
「周囲や視聴者が感じがちな悲しみは、『忘却されること』が『死』と近似的だからだろうけど、彼女は死んでいないので、本人は案外平気だと思う。宗教、倫理規範のない日本におけるボランタリズムのあるべき姿にも通じ、『ボランティアが好き』と言うたびに周囲に怪訝な顔をされてきた自分を肯定してくれた気がするんです」
"The sadness often expressed by the viewers and those around me is due to the thought that "being forgotten" is so close to "death," but since she has not died, I myself am surprisingly, fine with it. It can be reflected back into how volunteerism should be like in Japan where there is no religion and no external moral standard. When I told everyone that "I love to volunteer" and they showed me dubious faces. I feel that this anime confirms that I am in the right."
聞けば、社会学者の宮台真司氏、評論家の宮崎哲弥氏、幹細胞生物学者の八代嘉美氏といった“知の巨人”たちも同様に『まどマギ』にハマっているというではないか。そこで、彼らにも現在発売中の週刊SPA！7月19日号で縦横無尽に語ってもらった。
Editors of Spa: When we asked around, we found that "big names of intelligentsia" like sociologist Shinji Miyadai, commentator Tetsuya Miyazaki, stem cell biologist Yoshimi Yashiro are also big fans of Madoka Magika. And we have invited them to talk freely about this anime in the latest July 19th issue of Weekly Spa.
