Fanart Friday, Too: Homura Akemi Awaits

A new trailer for the next Madoka movie (Puella Magi Madoka Magica -Walpurgisnacht Rising-) dropped this past week, as well as a February 2026 date for the premiere. Finally!

The Messianic Dynamic in Madoka Magica

Madokami–excuse me, Madoka–and Christ are often compared with each other in discussions about Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which is no surprise, given the overwhelming number of parallels between their ultimate acts. At the same time, other posts have pointed out the ways in which Madoka does not make for a good Christ figure. So who… Read More The Messianic Dynamic in Madoka Magica

Part 2 of 2 In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Puella Magi Madoka Magica! And then there was the sequel movie, Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion. I’ll admit it, I lost sleep over this one. What can I say, sometimes I get a little (over)invested in fictional tales. But in my defense, the Madoka… Read More Is Homura Evil? Or, What Homura Taught Me About Humanity

Akemi Homura and the Argument of Faith

I’ve been meaning to get around to (re)writing this piece for quite some time as it was the idea that really got me into writing about the intersection of anime and my faith. I have alluded to this comparison many times in the past, but I don’t think any I have ever gone into detail… Read More Akemi Homura and the Argument of Faith
