Good Friday x Fanart Friday: Reaching for Madoka

I’ve long been encouraged by the storyline and particularly the climax of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica series, which has strong parallels to the Easter story. The movie sequels, however, throw a wrench in what I thought was a perfect ending. But as they’ve gone along, they’ve also made the series deeper and richer. Homura is even more broken, even more in need of a Savior.

I love this illustration by a new favorite artist, kieed. Homura, here, is reaching for one who could save her and one whom she loves. It reminds me of today, in fact, of Good Friday and of the very first Good Friday, when all had seemed lost.

However, we had only to wait until Sunday—the day when everything would change.

  1. I have yet to watch the movies, but the anime series is so good. I love the fan art here. Maybe I should fan art shout-outs at my site, too 🤔

    1. I have so many permissions from artists because of my Tumblr fanart site, so it kind of made sense to me to flip it over here, and I started asking for permission to post on this blog, too!
