I think Kyubey would have made a contract regardless of what Homura's wish was. It just so happened that it gave him a chance to try again at Madoka's energy. Too bad he didn't know he created another monster of a puella magi in Homura.
Peace.
Kyubey is from a species having no emotions, so he neither wouldn't care if he created another monster nor could he predict Homura would keep repeating the sequence forever. Kyubey is probably the one the most out of the loop in this whole reiteration scheme. He has barely enough psychological preprogramming to ensnare the girls but otherwise I doubt he has any idea what's going on. Kind of a nasty enemy, really, considering how succesful he still is.
I guess I need to watch gg's release next week. It's too boring to wait for Yesy while all the discussion wanes already in the mean time.
Kyubey knows about the Time Reset Homura lives.
Why? I think I remember in ep8 he tells Homura it's useless to try to kill him eventhough she tried twice. Also, he's able to understand Homura's power only because he remembers the first time she tried and begins analysing and making comparisons.
It seems KB's only power is the wish, he doesn't know which powers the MG will get, only that there's sometimes a relation with the wish.
My guess is that KB benefits from the reset. It might be possible KB can extract entropy in each loop. And in each loop it seems Madoka's bursts are stronger. That would be really mean to Homura of course, as she would be in fact the best ally KB could ever get in his quest.
Truly a nice episode. I admitt I've been surprised by that show, I didn't think I would like it, but I do, and for very nice reasons like a good scenario if you forget KB's origins
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I'm pretty sure the two times he mentions that Homura tries to kill him were at the beginning where Homura shot at him and was saved by Mami and Madoka. The 2nd time is at the park where she killed him and his other copy ate the currently deceased one. He wasn't aware of her powers of time until recently.
Yeah. Wasn't Kyubey expressing interest in how Homura can know so precisely what's going to happen and the background of it all?
I guess like many fans all over the world, I was quietly waiting for that kind of good news without dreaming of asking for it due to the situation Japan is facing.
I will religiously watch those episodes when they are available.
As I said before, I really changed opinions about that show, both weird and nice to watch.
I really hope the finale will be mind blowing, but even if they sabotage it a little, some earlier eps were really worth it.

Final episode to air today, brace for awesome
What time does it air?
Peace.
Apparently in about 20 hours... so for most people i guess tomorrow is the day
Dammit, I won't be able to watch it until Monday then.
Peace.
Guess most people will watch around the same time, I mean those waiting for subs as they do not have an other choice
Highly anticipating this too.

I'll try to ask my travel companion to lend me her laptop for 1 hour of epic during our trip to Chicago.
Peace.
Is this going to be a double episode?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yes, episodes 11 & 12.
raws are already there...
It's been a long time since I last anticipated a sub that much.

So it's over.
Do not read ahead
I can't say I didn't think of the reset.
Madoka really became something you could call a God, as she's everywhere with everyone and the only thing that remains really is similar to faith. But there's no cult and only one person really knows, others only have a very distant feeling.
Ep11 was quite flashy, at least Madoka's universe reset.
Ep12 is an aftermath ep, very rare in anime because usually you're past the excitement of the previous ep you could consider the true end.
It was a nice addition to see how the world changed after Madoka's reset, eventhough I admitt I'm not exactly sure I understood all the new rules. Particularly how the puella magi system now works and how the criters harvest their entropy.
I will probably not rewatch those eps, I should I guess, to extract/get more from them.
But I guess I like the Homura "arc" ep better, it probably was the climax of awesome and Madoka's true end did not really came as awesome, although quite beautiful.

Yeah, I didn't "feel" it, but I did thought this ending was pretty good. (might be because I haven't seen Ep10 for like a month, or that I've got a slight headache or other few reasons). I believe that the main reason was that a lot of these two episodes were an "aftermath" (as you described), in that there weren't many twists and mysteries any more. Instead of guessing, we were mostly just watching it unfold.
The height of the "climax" in these last two episodes (if it can be called a climax) was revealing what Madoka's wish was.
Yeah, me neither. One hypothesis is as follows:
Incubators have noticed that the universe's entropy is decreasing and sought for a way to solve it. They discovered humans who unlike them, were capable of emotions. These emotions manifested themselves as "demons", and were an accumulation of the negative energy of humans (and thereby an energy source). Mahou Shoujos were asked to fight these battles as human hope was the most effective weapon to counter human despair. Theoretically, the despair that results when all hope is gone should manifest themselves in a similar fashion as "demons", but for some unexplained reason they don't.
I did like how they started off this show as a staple magical girl series, broke the mould, and have the final outcome being the standard mahou shoujo fight-to-save-the-world-with-a-critter-on-your-shoulder system once again - as if this series was "The Birth of Mahou Shoujo".
The idea of "making a wish to transcend time and space to fight throughout history/future in order tosave everyonemake the world a better place" also reminds me of another well-received anime/franchise here on GW.
My favourite part of these two episodes was the bit with Kyuubei and a more mature (read: sexy) Homura. Boot-shots and all - :3
