History WMG / PuellaMagiMadokaMagica4

Also, the receptions of almost all new non-''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'' anime (the series originally began before ''Madoka'' anyway) anime from Creator/StudioShaft (''LightNovel/DenpaOnnaToSeishunOtoko'', ''LightNovel/SasamisanAtGanbaranai'', ''Manga/{{Nisekoi}}'', and ''Anime/MekakuCityActors'') and Creator/GenUrobuchi (''Anime/PsychoPass'', ''Anime/SuiseiNoGargantia'', and ''Anime/AldnoahZero'') has as of 2014 met much less enthusiastic reception (with some fans calling ''Mekaku City Actors'' and ''Aldnoah'' their respective JumpTheShark moments).

Will break the Walls of Reality and rescue Madoka and everyone else. Then everyone will enjoy a nice cold glass of [[NeonGenesisEvangelion LCL]].

[[WMG:''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' was meant to be a critical {{Deconstruction}} of the otaku lifestyle, like ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' before it.]]

All that stuff about aliens and entropy is symptomatic of our tendency to justify them with little white lies and HalfTruths whenever we devastate nature or take advantage of our fellow man. It took the form of a race of [[KillerRabbit seemingly]] [[AffablyEvil harmless]] {{RidiculouslyCuteCritter}}s for much the same reason; we all try to convince ourselves we're right, we're just trying to help, and [[RomanticismVersusEnlightenment the destruction of the earth and the human individual is all for the sake of Enlightenment and protecting human civilization from entropy/decay]]. In other words, [[TomatoInTheMirror we are all Kyubey]]. Or rather, we are all his/her/[[PronounTrouble its]] / [[FutuRama shkler]] father/mother. [[StarWars Search your feelings, you know it to be true.]]

** Sayaka: MagicKnightRayearth, perhaps? Has the whole sword wielding thing, not to mention the "I can't be with my beloved one" part...

** Homura: Manga/SailorMoon, perhaps [[spoiler: (Sailor Pluto's powers)]]. And maybe a bit of [[Manga/TokyoMewMew Zakuro's]] personality, [[spoiler: after who knows how many timelines]].

* Perhaps the second season of ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''? Or perhaps a ''Manga/SailorMoon'' remake? It has to be tons of badass, either way.

** A Sailor Moon remake has since been confirmed. People have also suggested that Anime/PrettyCure may reconstruct the genre.

Creator/AyaHirano and MichaelJackson are certainly testimonies to the chew-'em-up-and-spit-'em-out nature of the entertainment industry. Also noteworthy is how so many young modern seiyuus and artists (wait for it...) signed the contract because they were fans of ''Manga/SailorMoon'' or other cheerful TV shows, only to discover that they get most of the downsides of celebrity life (TypeCasting, SlaveToPR, ArtistDisillusionment, being virtually [[UnwittingPawn whored out all the time]] by {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s who [[ExecutiveMeddling always desecrate their Magnum Opus]], creepy stalker fans, having to keep their private/romantic lives complete secrets to avoid [[NeverLiveItDown eternal]] [[DarthWiki/FallenCreator damnation]] by the FanDumb, [[StreisandEffect not even being able to hide their private/romantic lives and avoid said eternal damnation]] due to constant accusations about scandals) with very few of the perks (seiyuus go into idoldom and gravure shots because voice acting actually does not pay too well in Japan, and most idols themselves only get judged by their cover and not their true self).

Since witches seem quite hostile, it would take someone like Elsa Maria to make them start working together.

Blame the occult imagery and influences throughout the series, just as the ''Poltergeist'' curse was supposedly generated by TobeHooper using actual human bodies in the first movie.

We probably know by now that the TV series spawned the 2011 earthquake. Movies 1 and 2 generated Hurricane Sandy, which struck the northeastern US the same week they were released in Japan. And more recently, not only did Movie 3 spawn Typhoon Taiyan in the Philippines the same week it was released in Japan, but [[http://www.skynews.com.au/world/article.aspx?id=918650 a 7.3 earthquake also occurred off Japan's coast in about the same area as the 2011 quake's epicenter]], ''on the day of its Japanese release date''. Fortunately no one was killed, though.

[[WMG:The ''Madoka'' franchise is cursed, like the ''[[Film/Poltergeist]]'' and ''{{Superman}}'' franchises before it.]]

More specifically, Madoka's [[spoiler: ascention to Madokami]] is a {{Deconstruction}} of SerialEscalation, PlotLeveling, and [[ShonenUpgrade Shonen Upgrades.]] How much more powerful can you get, how much [[BiggerStick Bigger can your Stick become]], before you have to take the ultimate step and become [[spoiler: not just a PhysicalGod, but an actual {{God}}]]?

Overprinting of Fiat credit money will also eventually cause Inflation, or the dilution of the money's inherent value to the point of worthlessness because the new money steals rarity value from the money supply. When the global Fiat Credit system started to replace other forms of hard currencies such as the Gold or Silver Standard especially with the establishment of the Federal Reserve, the purchasing power of the dollar began to decline by 95%. One of the most iconic examples of Fiat Inflation Failure was Germany during the Great Depression. Destroyed by the war and without a single penny left to pay the war debt, Germany had no choice but to run the presses until the whole debt was paid; as a result, the Mark's value collapsed, and the biggest banknote ever printed was the 100 quadrillion Mark bill, ''which was worth something around 24 US dollars!'' Overprinting did reach a point when a newspaper cost 100 billion marks, and you literally needed wheelbarrows of marks just to buy groceries. In some cases, the wheelbarrow itself was worth more than its contents. Germans of that era would burn wads of banknotes as fuel during the winter, owing to the money being cheaper to burn than the wood/paraffin alternative.

Entire superpowers such as the United States of America are in foreign and war debt in the trillions, threatening the collapse of the dollar. America's debt now exceeds 100% of its GDP, and multiplying, which means that they will never be able to pay back those debts. Ever. If the dollar crashes due to RidiculousFutureInflation, it will bring other economies down with it. Perpetual Debt will eventually a Malthusian population catastrophe where starving people will no longer have a lot of children because there will no longer be enough resources to pay for the debt. Despair and war for resources will be rife. The suicide of human civilization, all because of a dishonest form of currency. The Debt [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Nemesis]]. This apocalyptic future of DespairEventHorizon is what Kriemhild Gretchen represents. However, the central bankers on the other hand are too big to fail. Kyubey got his energy quota. The Rothschilds and other plutocrats at the top of the debt machine, along with sane people such as Chinese investors who knew what was going on, bought up 80% of the gold supply.

[[DealWithTheDevil Contracts]] = [[LoanShark loans]]. The Incubators grant wishes by letting desperate girls borrow some of their energy, however in turn the girls will have to pay back more in terms of energy. Replace "girl" with "debtor" and "energy" with "money". The debt spiral that the girls are hopelessly stuck in is the same in the modern Real Life Fiat Currency Debt system. Fiat, from the Latin for "Let there be" (money), is inherently worthless paper or digital money with no commodity to back it except the faith the people place on it and that we must pay our transactions and taxes through it, unlike commodity-currency systems such as the gold-silver standard. We know that Central Banks have the right to print fiat money. If the Central Banks can print fiat money to pay for everybody's debt, then how come everybody is still in unpaid debt? Because banks profit ''exactly'' out of debt. Banks are not charity to make free money.

Even the Central Banks do this. Central Banks, such as the Bank of England (insert Rothschild conspiracies here) and the Federal Reserve, are actually partially privately owned and derived their power, not directly from the Government, but also from independent private stockholders for profit, like for example lobbyists such as JP Morgan behind the Federal Reserve. Without usury, banks would just be nothing more than an honest state-run service that answers to the will of the people, and there would be no such thing as national debt.

The system enforced by Incubators is unstable due to their expectation that the girls (who obviously represent the labour of the indebted) should violate EquivalentExchange and pay back more. When they can no longer pay their requirement of Grief Seeds, they default and turned into Grief Seeds themselves to be used as collateral for the Incubators' energy requirements. Similarly, an economy based on usury, credit and Perpetual Debt is an ultimately unsustainable descent into despair because the principal, or initial money supply, will never be equal with the demands of the bank, the interest. Usury violates EquivalentExchange and disproportionately forces people to work like serfs just to repay the interest. There will always be people who despair and default because there will always be more interest than the current money supply.

Homura tried to repay back her debts to the Incubators through her own effort so that they would not approach Madoka for a loan contract instead. However, because she still worked under the Incubators' debt system, her EndlessRecursionOfTime used up energy and therefore created more energy-borrowing and perpetual debt that only resulted in Madoka becoming a bigger form of collateral, i.e. witch. Her inability to defeat Walpurgis, and Madoka's inevitable mutation into a witch, respresents her inability to repay back her compounding debt. Inevitably she will either be forced to reverse time to create more debt, or commit suicide, or default as a witch, or have Madoka bail her out. Similarly, eventually, people in debt will borrow to pay back the previous debt, like fixing a hole with more holes, or curing cancer with more cancer. And the banks will make Credits, gotta keep making Contracts. Banks call these Bailouts from the Central Bank. Debt will be paid through credits which create debt. An Endless Recursion of Debt. This results into a cancerous vicious cycle of devaluation, inflation, high taxes, high prices, constant borrowing and perpetual debt that continues from generation to generation. [[MemeticMutation Yo dawg, I heard you like Debt, so I put some Debt in your Debt so that you can pay back Debt while you pay back Debt... with Debt. Debtception.]]

Creator/ThomasJefferson puts it this way: ''To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers.''.

Why Incubators justify themselves with tales about how letting the universe go into entropy is worse? Because having a form of currency is still better for a functioning civilization than not having it at all. The Incubators even act like [[ObstructiveBureaucrat stereotypical salarymen working for some large faceless financial corporation]].

Only a Godlike scale of force to restructure the entire financial system can save us from such a {{dystopia}}n future, as with the restructuring of the energy system by Madokami to forgive everybody's debt. Not to say that Madokami represents socialism, but rather a more honest resource-economy free of debt. The fate of the magical girls will no longer be based on the perpetual debt machine of Witchification, but rather on their capability to earn resources and capture as may demons in the real world as they can to sell to Incubators in exchange for cooperation. More like a capitalist economy.

The most lucrative business in banking is Usury, aka {{Loan shark}}ing. The lender and borrower will pledge into, well, a Contract. The lender will lend his money at first, but some time in the future force the borrower to pay back more. Interest is where the debt multiplies over time. If the borrowers can no longer pay back the interest, then bad things (bankruptcy, foreclosure, seizing your bankrupt assets as collateral, or even debt slavery) happen. Usury was like the classic tale of Faust (the basis for ''Madoka'') selling his soul to Mephistopheles in exchange to borrow temporary knowledge and power. Banks make money by making loans, by selling debt. Therefore, the banks will not just give money, they will sell the money in the form of Loan Contracts, to be loaned with interest to be repaid in the form of assets with actual value, such as labour.
