Madoka Magica Drama CD 2: Sunny Day Life

The Drama CD came with the "Puella Magi Madoka Magica DVD volume 3". The official title for this Drama CD is "Sunny Day Life".

Summary

The scene starts at Mitakihara Middle School and Kazuko-sensei calls Madoka to come forward for her test. Madoka is surprised to learn it has a bad grade. Apparently Madoka has been neglecting her studies ever since she became a Puella Magi. Sayaka is none the better either, apparently she is a bigger idiot than Madoka because of her lower test score. Hitomi approaches the both of them and lends them her notes, Madoka is happy to accept Hitomi's help but Sayaka refuses her help. The reason that Hitomi is helping Sayaka is because she wants her fight with her "rival" to be fair. Instead, the two girls ask Mami if they can study at her house, which she accepts. When they arrive there, however, Homura and Kyouko are also with them, which Sayaka questions their presence. Homura states that she came to help Madoka with studying, while Kyouko only came for some of Mami's cake.

Observation

• In this unknown timeline all the girls are working together and perhaps they are all friends.
  • Madoka meets a black cat for the first time, it is unknown if this is Amy.
  • Homura noted in the episode that "it might be good if such a timeline exists".
  • Sayaka asked Homura which timeline did she come from.
• Kyubey heard Hitomi's scream so the five girls went into action.
  • Madoka and Sayaka mistakenly thought that Kyubey was going to even make a contract with Hitomi. Madoka implored him not to get close to Hitomi, while Sayaka said she would never forgive him if he did so.
  • Mami shot the suspect with Tiro Finale but missed.
  • Finally they found the suspect but it is only a kitten.
• The closest we will ever get to fanservice and it is in audio format only.
  • Kyouko is still "innocent" as she doesnt understand as to why would someone steal used panties.
  • We get to see hear about Hitomi's pantsu for the first time. Again, in audio format only.
    • Sayaka checking Hitomi's panties with dubious interest.
      • Sayaka sniffing Hitomi's pantsu.
        • Still Pantsu audio-fanservice only.
  • Madoka naked in the bathtub. Again, audio-fanservice only.
    • Kyubey trying to convince to an exasperated Madoka that "he" doesn't see himself as male (in human terms) so "he" doesnt understand why "he" isn't allowed to be in the bathroom with a naked Madoka.
      • Madoka isnt buying it. She said even Homura hasn't been there.
        • Neither are the fans.
• The Hidamari-esque background music and sound.
  • If Madoka was Hidamari Sketch minus the Gen Urobuchi gore and despair.
  • Not coincidentally, the additional background music was composed by Tomoki Kikuya who was also in charge for Hidamari BGMs.
  • The scenario for this drama CD was written by Miku Oshima, Hidamari Sketch scriptwriter.
  • Kyubey is illustrated as a perverted idiot magical pet being fed cat food only.
• Lots of Engrish.
  • Kyouko: Sayaka. IZU. VERI. FOORISHU.
  • Kyouko: OH MAI GODDO.
  • Kyouko: San que~. (while mouth is full)
• Madoka's and Sayaka's school grades get affected after becoming a Puella Magi, turning them into idiots.
  • Test scores: Madoka (37 points) is still smarter than Sayaka (28 points).
    • Madoka only failed her English test. Sayaka not only failed her English but also her Math test.
      • Sayaka, you are still a fool no matter which timeline.
  • Both Mami and Homura passed their test.
  • Kyubey mentions that there are some Puella Magi that get better grades by wishing it, but it has no use in battle so he doesn't recommend it.
  • Sayaka suspects Homura used her power to cheat during her test but she denies it.
    • However, Homura suggests to Madoka that she is willing to use her powers to help her cheat. Madoka refuses her offer, of course.
    • Then Homura advices Madoka not to think about names of her skills at class. She should study hard rather than think of those awful and ugly names. Madoka is embarrassed since Homura sees everything about her.
• The most evil, manipulative, alien bastard in the universe is treated like a common house pet by prepubescent school girls.
  • Granted, they are unaware of Kyubey's true nature under the facade of a cute magical creature. It could explain his creative way of "offing" many of the girls with despair when the time comes.

Speculation

• This Drama CD was very light, fluffy, cute, and so slice of life. If prior experience has taught us anything is that if they are faithful to the series formula then this means that Gen Urobuchi must be preparing something dark, heartbreaking, and brutal for the next Drama CD.
