Have you seen the new Puella Magi Madoka Magica trailer? Do you have any thoughts?

I did see the new trailer... Currently, the material is too vague and short for me to meaningfully have thoughts of my own. >> It was like this for Rebellion though, I wasn't able to anticipate much about the plot, I just have memories of seeing alluring tidbits and yelling internally. Why Homura point gun at head? You know. In this case... I'm like 6_9 uauurhh... d-dancing... girls... ?? World looks crazy... DUNNO what is happening to Sayaka, she looks so messed up HAHA, uhh being run ragged by this world or something...? I hope we disrespect her. Meanwhile I've seen other people inferring that the various Homuras are the clara dolls & I think that's the best assumption anyone can make...

As for the implications of that, well. Ideally, the clara dolls will just represent factions of Homura's psyche, which are warring with 'what to do' with Madoka. I've always thought the way that Homura is 'Ai' is very painful... I'd be curious to see how the other dolls are presented and the interplay. I know that familiars tend to be treated like their own entity when it comes to witches, but I'd like to think Homulily is nonstandard for a witch, and especially at this point, she's become a being that doesn't really fit in our typical definitions of 'magical girl', 'witch', or otherwise. Sooo... hm, like, I guess I feel amuuuused at the idea of there being multiple Homuras? It's not a direction I would have gone myself lel, but I feel open to it, very well could be interesting. Rebellion was a movie centered on Homu's internal psyche so I'd want Walpurgis Rising to carry that torch. 9.9 I do not really want it to be toooo.... abstract, nonsense, fighting, but I'm also not going to be devastated if it's not my cup of tea, at this point. I'm going in with an Open Mind, but a cautious one as well.

Cumrot mind is also like, Perhaps Madoka will be volleyed around between many crazy Homuras. What fun that could be! Perhapsss.... (◔◡◔)
