Trivia

Information from the "Puella Magi Madoka Magica Anthology 2" is not meant to be taken as canon.

Warning, this section contains spoilers.

"To Become What You Want to Be": Homura asks Mami for help so she can become cool to impress Madoka. Homura's first mistake was asking Mami on how to become cool. Guest character appearance: Kazumi and Oriko. "Traces": The story is told from Kyosuke's point of view. He suspects that Sayaka likes him and he feels bad for making her look after him, when none of his friends did. He cant even look at Sayaka without being reminded how pathetic he was, and he feels remorse about it. At one point he thought of dating Sayaka out of guilt, but instead he decides to date Hitomi as he feels a relationship with her will be on more equal terms, with no regrets nor being indebted to her. "Cake": The story focuses on the cooking skills of the girls and it becomes a cooking contest. Sayaka's cake look normal but they are actually horrible, "This nastiness must have been achieved through miracles and magic, Sayaka!". Surprisingly, Kyoko knows how to bake an apple pie. And surprisingly it is ordinary looking, ordinarily delicious, and just plain ordinary. Homura serves C4 (plastic explosive) as a cake. C4 tastes sweet but it is poisonous. Madoka's cake looks like a Lovecraftian monster reject. However, its tastes delicious. Madoka uses a secret ingredient, but she will never tell. "Madoka☆Magica Symposium": Homura wants to start a symposium to comment and criticize the Anime series, however the discussion devolves into Homura rants about how Madoka is a cheating spouse. Mami wanted to voice her opinion that her character left the show too early. Homura has a dislike of Mami, because her character caused unnecessary suffering on Madoka. Homura also reveals that there was a high probability that Mami would steal Madoka from her. Homura also had some harsh words for Madoka for being flirty and friendly toward Mami. Homura is not threatened by the presence of Kyoko, since she is only has eyes for Sayaka. Homura reveals that in one of her timelines, Kyoko "comforts" Sayaka during her moment of weakness after being rejected by Kyousuke. It was a rare event. In the end, the symposium was just Homura's opportunity for her to complain about her horrible experience.
