I thought these episode reviews were good. They are concise and illuminated with screencaps.

== Method to Madness ==

[http://anime3000.libsyn.com/method-to-madness-puella-magi-madoka-magica Method to Madness review (2011-06-28)]

Podcast review. The reviewers were both enthusiastic, but prone to digressions. I did not agree with them on every particular.

(One unusual view they express is that it was a mistake for the show to start with Madoka witnessing a battle between Homura and a giant monster then contracting, because it would be better for the audience to have no expectations regarding the characters. I disagree with this. There's an appropriate quote on the subject of suspense by Alfred Hitchcock that I would like to insert here if I can find it.)

Calling Hitomi ("green-haired girl") a harlot was unreasonable.

== Energy ==

the article states that he needs energy for the earth. But as i understood he is an alien who needs energy for his planet and stores the energy that get´s released while using magic or transform into witches.

Anonymous: In actuality, he needs energy for the entire universe. Even though the show's understanding of thermodynamics is flawed (the amount of usable energy in the universe will decrease over time, but not the total amount of energy), we can't treat Earth or any other planet as a closed system; thus, when Kyuubey says "sekai" (I think that's the word he used?), he's almost definitely referring to the universe as a whole.

--picture-
the mangaka of kuroshitsuji actually made a fanart crossover of kyubey and sebastian http://d-6th.com/blog/images/110217_qseba.jpg
quite ironic since sebastian also has a faustian pact with ciel and will rip his (ciel´s) soul of as payment to fullfill his wish

== Contract ==
Fight with witches it's a part of the contract? Or contract mean only become to puella magi? [[User:A|A]] 06:30, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
: Kyubey is incredibly vague about the contract, so it's unclear if puellae magi ''must'' fight witches outside of ensuring their own survival (as they need Grief Seeds to counteract the corruption caused by the use of magic and/or the build-up of negative emotions). I suppose a girl could contract, get her wish, and never fight witches, but she would likely end up a witch herself very soon. [[User:Momoism|Momoism]] 18:21, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

== Kyubey and Utilitarianism ==

I am working on Kyubey's utilitarianism, this space is for a rough draft.

Urobuchi's view in energy conservation and connection to [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/SWITCH_2011-07_Vol.29_No.07 Kyubey's utilitarianism] [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Spa_Weekly!_2011-07-19 kyubey's belief] and [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Newspapers_2011 the overly romanticism of (good) reality (false perception) and good intentions with bad results of unhappiness]. By the way I am reading Michael Sandel's book "Justice" and it is a good source of understanding philology. Will finish when I can. --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 04:11, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

:I take it that the words below are your voice (and not an attempt at translation), right, Mutopis? I ask for purpose of response. ;) -- [[User:NS|preceding comment by NS]] 16:46, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

What is Utilitarianism?

The Human Philosophy known as [[wikipedia:Utilitarianism|utilitarianism]] can be easily breakdown as the philosophy that pursues the maximization of happiness and the reduction of pain, or at least the creation of happiness that surpasses the overall total of pain. If that was all that it was about utilitarianism, then this would be the end of it. But utilitarianism, like all philosophies, have taken several different developments and each one has a distinctive flavor. This will be an attempt to understand Kyubey's own brand of Utilitarianism.

According with [[Episode 9|Kyubey's mission]], he wants to save the universe by offsetting the depletion of the universe's energy (actually, Kyubey's statement is wrong, the correct assessment would be to stop [[Thermodynamics|the permanent loss of heat]], but who am I to question an advance alien race?). To accomplish this mission Kyubey's alien race has found the answer to the problem, the harvesting of human emotion. The process is simply, give a human magical powers to maximize their sense of hope, then reverse their hope to be turned into despair, during the process the despair energy would be released during the witchfication process thus repairing the damage done to the universe. Repeat the process countless of times until an appropriate energy quota per planet is reached. Sounds simple yet horrifying at the same time. For many this is an example of utilitarianism as its worst, many critics believe that Kyubey is justifying the exploration of little girls to save the universe. However, before we can accuse Kyubey of anything, it is essential to understand the moral nature, as well as Kyubey's reasoning behind it, to determine if their reasoning is justifiable.

Kyubey and Bentham: Let us just enslave the human race!

Invaders from another galaxy have decided that to save the universe, they must harvest energy to repair the damage already done to it. Their race is incapable of producing such energy by themselves, but thanks to their advance technology they have detected a source of energy that is perfect to solve their crisis. They have detected a "bizarre" mental behavior known as "emotions" capable of producing the required energy but it goes unprocessed and it is located in another galaxy. The inhabitants of this alien galaxy are equally strange as primitive, not only do they suffer from this mental anomaly known as emotions, but they are being wasteful by not fully developing its potential. Such a waste of energy would be a crime if left unharvested. The alien race decides to invade this galaxy, enslave the inhabitants, and fully exploit its potential by maximizing the production of energy to meet their quota... or so it should be if this was Bentham's utilitarianism but it is not. This is the first indicator that there is something odd about Kyubey's utilitarianism.

According with Bentham, the goal of Utilitarianism is to produce as much happiness as possible. But most importantly, all forms of happiness and all form of pains have their own equal value. Which means one form of happiness cannot be measured against another form of happiness and the same can be said about pain. It takes people's preferences as they are without passing judgement on the moral worth. It would be presumptuous to judge some pleasures to be inherently better than others. At the heart of it, Bentham's utilitarianism is nonjudgmental, to him all pleasures are equal. This means that if saving the universe by exploiting the emotions of humans has the same moral value than domesticating cattle to feed society, then it should be reasonable to say that Bentham would not object to enslaving the human race to achieve Kyubey's objective. After all, saving the universe at the expense of the human race would create the greatest form of happiness. It would suck for the human race, but stopping the end of the universe trumps anything and everything.

Yet, as stated before, that is not the case here, at least not to the alien race that created Kyubey. Apparently, Kyubey and the aliens have some sort of moral code of their own that disallow them to force humans to enter into a contract (slavery) but they are also not allowed to deceive (false advertisement) or lie to them either (this is, of course, up to debate).

One objection to utilitarianism is the attempt to measure pleasure and pain in a single scale ignoring the qualitative experience of pleasure and pain. For many, certain forms of pleasure are not only higher but also worthier than others. The pursue of a nobler pleasure would allow utilitarianism to the arrival of the greatest good. One could make an argument that saving the universe would create happiness but the quality of that happiness would suffer at the expense of perverse methods used for to attain it. Instead, one could say that Kyubey is trying to create the greatest form of happiness by using much more nobler (albeit questionable) methods to attain it. Rather than force the human race into submission and slavery, why not entice them into a fair contract?

Kyubey and Mill: Humans are not Cattle.

Music videos created using [http://tubedubber.com Tube Dubber], a site that lets users overlay music tracks over different videos. Several attempts have been made to add a different sound track to the Madoka OP.

The video that was used previously was removed. Another one is in it's place, but is this a proper substitute?

NS: /* Discussion of Fansubs */ reply to randomanon

== Discussion of Fansubs ==

The policy of not providing links to fansubs (or otherwise giving instructions for how to acquire copies of the show illegally) makes sense, and I don't think it should be changed. However, since the first introduction of English-speakers to the show came through unauthorized fan-translations, aspects of those translations can be relevant to understanding some discussions about the show. There's even an example of this on the [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/index.php?title=Guidelines&oldid=21670 current version of the Guidelines page:] "''However, due to gg using "Puella Magi" in their subs, that latin translation has been widely used, even on this wiki.''"

I think it would make sense to have a page on the choices made by different translations. Since it's a potentially sensitive issue, though, I'm raising the idea for discussion first.

-- [[User:NS|above comment by NS]] 17:46, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

:I don't see anything gained from this which will no doubt be subjective opinions about subs. What one person prefers, another dislikes. In addition, there's been sub groups who have released Madoka translations after the four that did it during the airing. So how many subs are you going to discuss since so many are available now. Not to mention, the official English dub (and of course accompanying sub) is in progress to be released by Aniplex USA. It's going to generally be perceived by the fanbase as superceding any fan dub. Let's say if it chooses "magical girl" like it did for the subs they made for the US premiere at the Otakon, then why would the fanbase care if one fansub group used "Puella Magi." "Magical girl" will be the standard. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 18:17, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

::I don't mean a discussion about which subtitles are best. What I think would be interesting to note are differences which demonstrate different interpretations of certain scenes and characters. Comparing them to the official translation (after it is completed) would show how fans' current understanding of the show has changed from when it was first airing.
::As far as "Who cares?", I think a page like this would have value for the same reason as the pages of old fan-speculation. -- [[User:NS|preceding comment by NS]] 01:17, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

== Image galleries ==
I see a flaw in that organization: where do we put image macros, such as [[:File:Kyouko apples ep7.jpg|that apples-no-apple-apples-again macro]]? In the "screenshot" section? Also, we should add the case when images don't belong in any section ... --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 15:28, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
:That's hard to say, since they're neither "screenshots" nor "fanart." I'd either put them into "screenshots" or an additional "miscellaneous" section, which would take care of those images that don't belong in any section. [[User:Momoism|Momoism]] 16:00, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
::I think we need an extra category for that kind of non-fanart analysis montages, for stuff such as that and [[Speculah:Grief Seeds|half the Grief Seed page]]. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 16:10, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that "Miscellaneous" section seems to solve both problems at once. Let's just hope it doesn't become as much of a clusterfuck as the galleries we have now... (by that I mean, let's hope people don't get lazy and put everything there) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 16:17, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
::::I edited this page and the [[User:Momoism/Gallery_Template| gallery template]] to reflect the addition of the Miscellaneous category, and to provide some examples of what should go in there.

This page is pretty hidden at the moment, I wonder if new editors will be able to see it before their first edits. Would linking it in the main page or the sidebar be apt solutions? --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 15:23, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

:::Actually it's interresting that you didn't see it: it shows how un-noticeable that link is. We ''could'' add a link to the guidelines at the bottom of the posting pages, just like the talkpage notice ("please sign your comments blah blah blah"), but we'll have to ask 0x99 to do it because I have no idea how he did it, and right now I don't have the time to look up for it ... --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 16:21, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to mention that I've been seeing feedback from several sites now about confusion I'm seeing related to a mix of fanmade work with facts on the website. You may not be aware, but this site is linked on the Madoka threads on 2ch and referenced on other Japanese sites. Many people who aren't fluent with the English language visit because of the wiki's reputation in the past of accurate predictions and interesting analyses. However, now, they are getting confused by the humor of fanmade items and comments side-by-side on the same page of actual screenshots, facts, etc. I think the separation needs to be made very clear, especially for things like photo-shopped screenshots. For example, the Homura kissing Madoka one in episode 11, I've heard it come up multiple times as to whether it's real, why it's there etc. It should be clear enough that someone with only a basic understanding of English can understand what is canon to Madoka vs. say tongue-in-cheek fan humor etc. This also applies to visitors who haven't seen Madoka yet, so wouldn't be able to separate fact from fiction on their own. -[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 22:26, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

:I reorganized and separated the fan art from the rest of the images and added the disclaimer. --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 00:47, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
::Ah that's cool. I didn't expect such a swift response...and wasn't even thinking the disclaimer would be re-used. Just explaining why I wanted to see us separate out the galleries as suggested in the guidelines by official art, sceenshots, fanart etc. From my perspective, having that done now is good, thanks. -[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 00:52, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
:::I moved the disclaimers to templates. Use <code><nowiki>{{fanart}}</nowiki></code> for a big and certain ("everything") disclaimer, and <code><nowiki>{{fanartSmall}}</nowiki></code> for a smaller and less certain ("some") disclaimer. --[[User:KFYatek|kFYatek]] 02:29, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
::Reposting what I said on the template talkpage: is there really a need for a whole disclaimer? I mean, visitors were probably confused because everything was thrown in the same gallery; now that the galleries are structured (well, not every one yet, but I'm working on it), I think the section title is enough (''fan''art is explicit enough IMO). Addin a whole box explaining what fanart is, in every section that has fanarts, makes the pages look a little too overloaded to me --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 10:37, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

A suggestion I consider important: to clearly indicate that all screenshots from the anime should be of high quality only and properly cropped. I've seen some members recently (well, not just now: this is a recurrent practice) uploading sceenshots with quality below acceptable, and it needs to be dealt with. A warning in the guidelines would be a good start, IMHO. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 20:08, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I mean, visitors were probably confused because everything was thrown in the same gallery; now that the galleries are structured (well, not every one yet, but I'm working on it), I think the section title is enough (''fan''art is explicit enough IMO). Addin a whole box explaining what fanart is, in every section that has fanarts, makes the pages look a little too overloaded to me --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 10:37, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

A suggestion I consider important: to clearly indicate that all screenshots from the anime should be of high quality only and properly cropped. I've seen some members recently (well, not just now: this is a recurrent practice) uploading sceenshots with quality below acceptable, and it needs to be dealt with. A warning in the guidelines would be a good start, IMHO. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 20:08, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I watched a fair amount of anime in high school and junior high, but when I went to college I watched less and finally stopped altogether. When I saw ''Puella Magi Madoka Magica'', I hadn't watched an anime series in several years. I enjoyed ''Madoka'' a lot, and it rekindled my interest in anime.
