From the very beginning of Flame of Despair, it gives you this overall feeling of uneasiness, like something isn't right but you can't pinpoint what it is, nearly to the point of driving you mad. I believe this could be in reference to Homura never really knowing what true despair felt like, and over the course of Flame of Despair, you can feel her slowly starting to get a grasp on what it is that she is feeling, and then when it cuts to the part that sounds a lot like a snippet of Symposium Magarum, it is her recognizing what Sayaka must have felt when she transformed into a witch, the only other girl she has watched transform into a witch countless times aside from Madoka. She never truly understood the depth of heartache and anguish that becoming a witch felt like, and as such, that great big build up toward the end of Flame of Despair, the reason it blends so well into Symposium Magarum is because finally, Homura understands what true despair feels like, as it slowly consumed her as it did Sayaka.
i think homura always felt despair. she was so miserable for so long and she could finally unleash her emotions. think about it. if she gave into her despair, madoka and everyone would be officially dead. she HAD to keep going until the cycle stopped. if it hadn’t been for madokami, she might’ve been in an eternal prison
@@solm.6184 I guess it's because she always pushed down her despair and replaced it with determination for the next timeloop, then after the series most of her memories with Madoka were blurred out and dreamlike but in Rebellion her memories got triggered because of seeing a living breathing Madoka which triggered the rest of her memories to come back and made her acknowledge what was really happening. Then during this scene all of her memories had come back to her and with her suspicions proved it quickly led her to despair and turned her into a witch completely but even in her despair she knew she needed to question Kyubey about his goal and his answer, the conversation with Madoka and her despair/regaining her memories then led to the ending where Homura decided it was best for Madoka to be separated from the Law of Cycles due to Kyubeys potential meddling, her own emotions and Madoka saying she would never willingly leave everyone.
Hi two year old comment. Now that the final movie is coming.... [puts on tinfoil hat] Homura will become the new Walpurgis upon the world of her own making. [takes off tinfoil hat]
It should also be noted that both Homura and Sayaka became witches in a selfless attempt to help the ones they love the most, at the price of their own humanity.
That song is so beautiful tbh. They made despair such a graceful tune. I decided to use screenshots from the scene where it played to make it like a little musical storytelling.
I FOUND IT!! Last year This perdect transformation between homu's and Okatavia's theme disapoeared, I couldnt find it anywhere. Yet here it is, this is a masterpiece, it always give me the emotion. Im downloading this, saving it. Im not letting this wonderful music get copyrightbanned from me again!!
Perfectly mixed, v well done! These two songs are so familiar and I've never noticed. Just like Homura and Sayaka, themselves!! And they don't realize it either, haha
I'm aware that my monogatari compilation has suffered a worldwide copyright block but that doesn't mean it's gone forever! You can listen to the compilation on Spotify on shuffle (or not) here! open.spotify.com/playlist/40qw3rEyx071G1cyAhJI09?si=7e16d1dcab5c4990 Here's the Google drive link to the videos that has been taken down! drive.google.com/drive/u/4/folders/1omYGm59oR21RmRbhAVT11nCsREEQtUvF My Madoka Magica playlist has also been blocked worldwide but due to the 10th Anniversary announcement event for Madoka Magica, not are we only getting a sequel to rebellion but we're also getting the Madoka Soundtrack on Spotify! I have compiled all the songs on this playlist available on Spotify into a playlist along with Magia record songs! (Magia record OST Compilation coming soon). Please check it out! open.spotify.com/playlist/3d0HRtRaayzlsayU85IZcA?si=28666644520a4dfb Thank you for supporting me nonetheless and please look forward to my future videos!
@@Lara-vo6rp I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I initially made it only because I realised both were in the same key and worked well together. I never expected it to be so well received!
Honestly Madoka Magica redefined the entire magical girl genre and I think it's fame is pretty much where it deserves to be. It'll have a revival when the 4th movie is released that's for sure.
YOOOOO i didnt know this was the video when i clicked on it lol, used to love this video so much back then. i even found this in an old playlist called beauty with this as the first song lol
This edit was put into a Playlist? Do you mind dropping the link? It's such an honour that something I made on a whim for fun has brought so much enjoyment to others.
@yehangyeo6470 of corse and thanks for making this lol It's kind of embarrassing but here's the link ru-vid.com/group/PL98mZu-pBI2t2s2B8ZO1eAjj9Ysxx9Prj
@@monkeydluffy-fu3vj Damn those are some really good songs in there and I'm honoured something I made is able to share a playlist with some of the songs and artists in that. Thank you so much.
I love these two songs, and mixed together they sound even greater! Flame of despair really reminds me of little witch's academia OST, especially the beginning.
@@yehangyeo6470 it is real, the one I'm talking about was uploaded on the famous youtube channel "My Soul Your Beats" with the theme "Dark Emotional". I actually have it downloaded before it's gone so I know I can't be wrong. That's why there's another comment saying they also missed this exact combination.
@@yehangyeo6470 I'm not even sure, after a long time I suddenly felt like listening to it on youtube and it's just gone. Thankfully you made another one for everyone else to listen for themselves how these two fit so well.
@@kurukuru4120 Thank you! I'm glad I managed to make your day better with a video I made on a whim hahaha. Please download just in case it gets taken down in the future.
Whoa! This sounds great! I used to listen to your Madoka Magica Fight OST playlist video all the time and I loved it. I wanted to go back to listen to it again and then I realized that it was taken off of RU-vid. Is there any other way I can listen to that playlist video, other than Spotify?
No unfortunately not. I didn't upload it to Google drive due to spave constraints. And many of the OST from that video aren't on Spotify. I could just make another email and upload it there. How does that sound?
@@CalmRedFlowers Anytime! Is there any other compilations you'd like me to upload to that Google drive in the mean time that you used to watch as well?
I have a problem. I don't ship Kyoko and Sayaka (yes, I'm aware they're in love, but that's not always enough for a relationship to last). I'm not saying what they have isn't special. Quite the opposite, their bond is one that should be protected at all costs... But when I try to imagine them on an actual relationship... I just can't do it. Sayaka is a knight who takes lawful justice seriously and can only see half the glass full (I know she matured, but she was still pretty hostile towards Homura, at the very least she could have considered the fact the Incubators were now under check and arranged some sort of deal, Homura's Labyrinth is based on self-hatred after all). Kyoko is a priest who saw both sides of the divine spectrum and has the freedom to choose how she evolves. Because of that, she has a more neutral outlook on life. And while she does care for her friends and will try to be less selfless for their sake... On her own, she takes a more... practical approach on battle. One that she doesn't see much problem with, given how it was this imperfect world that took her family from her, by forcing her into that wish. She demands both sides of a deal to be either happy or miserable. But one can not have more than the other. It's a matter of earned equality. However, I'm aware how wrong this outlook on their relationship might be, so I need someone to help me believe in this ship.
I don't really need to convince you. The show leaves it up to your interpretation. I think that Kyouko fundamentally changed after seeing Sayaka as a reflection of her former self. It put her back in connection with her original values and I think based on that, it can happen
Oh I heavily doubt they're a thing at all. 99% of Kyoko's words at Sayaka are actually directed at Mami, Sayaka is just the proxy. I find it likelier Sayaka has something for Madoka or that she's straight up not into girls at all(unlike Hitomi, Sayaka is confortably hetero so she doesn't mind kinship with Madoka but Hitomi is so deep in the closet she can't stop seeing lesbians everywhere). If you read TDS and Oriko Magica, Kyoko is 100% Mami's bestie almost GF, much like Kirika and Oriko are the unholy matrimony that trolls Homura out of a happy ending, Sayaka is a side character in PMOM and her role in TDS is about her relation to Mami than to Kyoko. After all, in the anime Kyoko basically takes Oktavia out in her massive suicide because she's done, she lost Mami and she can't pick up where she left off either, nobody can be Mami, she even said so. In TDS, Kyoko soundly destroys Oktavia off screen and then drops the Grief Seed by Mami before killing herself to atone for all she did to Mami. Heck, in Magia Record: Kyoko's motivations are 100% around Mami, she clashes with Sayaka but she's basically all about Mami. It isn't just a matter of incompatibility, it's also a matter of mass misinterpretation due to a lack of research from most fans
@@jouheikisaragi6075 huh ! Thank you. This makes things easier for me when I get to the point of writing a ship for Kyoko. I think maybe their relationship is something like this. After her heart was broken by Kyosuke and Hitomi, Sayaka tried what Eleanor from "The Good Place" told Jannet to do when your heart is broken, which was to get a rebound boy/girlfriend, which she tried with Kyoko, feeling attracted by the fantasy of mending the rebel's soul. However, while Sayaka definitely means a lot for Kyoko (as she's the only one who returned) she doesn't feel a crush, those are merely the signs she accidentally sends Sayaka. Yeah... I love the bluenette, but she needs to take the time in Homura's world to to therapy. As for Kyoko...first, I hope she meets Yuma again. Then, I hope Yuma and Nagisa notice Mami's crush on Kyoko, the dark pinkette's possible lingering feelings for her, and scheme some sort of date for the two.
@@JabamiLain the funniest part is that Sayaka just had to tell Kyosuke she liked him. He would say yes(see the PSP game). Heck the only reason Kysouke settled for Hitomi despite them not having chemistry(seen in Wraith Arc) is cause he feels he doesn't deserve Sayaka. I'd say the one in need of therapy is Mami, that girl is about as derrangedly Yandere as Homura.
@@jouheikisaragi6075 in his defense, he ain't wrong. Now, maybe I'm not the best person to give advice, but if he's aware of his problem, the guy should seek to try and improve himself. He can't use Hitomi as his excuse to not better manage his time. And, declairing wouldn't be enough. Sayaka's problems stem from how she sees herself as a monster. Even if she was not rejected, given it was confirmed the relationship wouldn't work, her problems would probably persist. And yeah... Mami also needs therapy. They ALL need therapy.
if the symposium magarum part had been the one from the show i'd have EXPIRED ON THE SPOT but as this is this is really cool and i was caught offguard with an audible OOOH at the song transition
I can remake it since it wasn't available on RU-vid at the time of making. It was made available on streaming platforms and RU-vid with the announcement of the music collection to be released on streaming platforms in their 10th anniversary celebration. I was thinking of revisiting this anyways.
@@yehangyeo6470 that would be so awesome! as it is, the brilliance of the mixing for the transition makes this vid/audio an absolute banger. with the original/orchestral/whathaveyou version of symposium magarum, this would be on my 'listen for 12 hours straight' shortlist of mixes!!!
@@Elebuu I have remade the video but because it's the original song, it cannot be uploaded to RU-vid. If an anime has its official soundtrack available on streaming platforms and RU-vid through official providers, then a copyright block will be applied. Not a strike, just that nobody can view them. Which is why my Flip Flappers compilations are still available. I have, however, uploaded the remade version to google drive so you can download it and listen to it from there. drive.google.com/file/d/1iqhqkDM35zaKzNctDJxfqova0--cWs93/view?usp=sharing
@@ev9681 I didn't make that. I'm not sure which video they're referring to exactly. I just listened to these 2 songs and figured they're in the same key with the same transition. I suppose the other video used the original symposium magarum, it just so happened that when I made this, Japanese copyright ensured that the original mix of symposium magarum was not available on RU-vid, so I settled on the orchestral version which spared me from a copyright block now
Yeah I definitely have. The multiple Homuras are probably the Clara dolls. Sayaka bandage means she's probably been silenced by homura. The mysterious girl in the trailer, I'm not sure but could tie to the antagonist witch, or scene 0? I still think that scene 0 will be magireco exclusive. I haven't thought too much about it, i wanna be blown away in theaters.
@@yehangyeo6470 I think the new girl might be a powered up Nagisa. Aged up as a price for her augmented power. As for the multiple Homuras being the Clara Dolls, considering one of the "Scene 0" girl's powers is light manipulation to create an illusion in which she looks invisible, I wouldn't be surprised if she had done something similar to the Clara Dolls as her attempt at fighting back against Homura, by psychologically attacking her. So yeah, I believe your theory. I mean, their job is to torture the Devil after all.
@@JabamiLain I've only read up to day 6 on Scene 0 so I'm not that clear on what's happening yet. Nagisa age progression with magic is not something I would have thought of. I do hope they introduce someone new though. And I also hope we get to see the Walpurgisnacht in their magical girl forms.
@@yehangyeo6470 well, it would explain her absence from the trailer. Another possibility is that's Homura's version of Suzune, whose power is to copy habilities.
Unfortunately not, I edited this myself so I don't think I can upload it to Spotify as a creator. You're more than welcome to loop this on RU-vid though! I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
