Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica / Soundtrack

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica – OST II

So once again I return to Kajiura Yuki and her typically unique soundtrack for Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. Since there’s no real point in me repeating what I had to say in my last post, I’ll instead suggest that if you haven’t already read it, you go back and do so. That way I can skip straight over introductions (and recommendations at the end) and focus entirely on the meat of the soundtrack – the music itself.

Important note: There will be spoilers. If you haven’t watched Madoka and plan to do so in the future do not read this post!

First Impressions / Tsuritama

Tsuritama – 08 & 09

「嬉しくてファイティング / 衝撃のアンダーウォーター」 (Ureshikute Faiteingu / Shougeki no Andauota)
“Joyous Fighting / Striking Underwater”

The reveal of the Tsuritama’s great mystery was rather underwhelming, but otherwise the show is on a roll as we enter the climax.

*For those of you following my AKB0048 posts, I have also included a short note explaining the delay.*

First Impressions / Hiiro no Kakera

Hiiro no Kakera – 11

「鬼の伝承」 (Oni no Denshou)
“Tradition of the Demon”

What? Plot? In my Hiiro no Kakera? Quick – someone roll out the red carpet because it needs to be given the VVVVVIP treatment and convinced to stay! Seriously though, there was a huge leap forward this week, and it was even weaved in together nicely with some character development!
