I'm starting to think they're starting to show a little too much now.

I translated a bit of the new footage last night, on a Madoka imageboard site, so here's my translation, as usual:

Quote:
0:16
Kyouko: "Oi!"
Homura: "I'm sorry for getting you involved."

0:25
Nagisa: "Would you like to hear an explanation about that from me?" (in an apologetic tone of voice)

3:11
Mami: "Here we go, everyone!"
Everyone: "Yes!"
Everyone: "Puella Magi Holy Quintet!"

3:19
Madoka: "As long as Homura-chan is going through cruel, tear-invoking trouble, there's no way I can just hold myself back."


As for the short interviews:

Quote:
Saito Chiwa (Homura) wanted to give a message to teenagers, to watch the series/this movie—

Saito: "When I think back on my puberty, the things I feel were nothing were actually really important events and I thought they were the end of the world back then. That was depicted really well in the world of "Madoka." I think they (the teenagers) will think it's really hard, but being able to experience [those hardships] might be a blessing when they become adults.

Kajiura Yuki—

Kajiura: "It wasn't really the feeling of 'just scary' or 'just cool,' (she's talking about the type of songs she was composing for Madoka) but rather, 'I don't know how I'm supposed to capture this.' I remember that kind of eerie fear here, whereas I hadn't had that in other works."

[The lyrics were coined]

"They were coined. They have absolutely no meaning to them. Rather, I feel it's better that the words have no meaning, so that the people can use their own imaginations to create the meaning for themselves."


Personally, I have a theory on Charlotte's appearance here:

spoiler[Maybe Nagisa can "use" Charlotte like a weapon? From the trailers so far, I've deduced (with room for patching up) a potential plot progression in which the girls all go out to fight that one doll Nightmare thing, and Charlotte comes out of nowhere and eats it. Freaked by the sudden appearance of another monster, the girls turn on Charlotte and start to fight it before it is called back/it retreats back to Nagisa, who appears from behind Mami (once the barrier dissolves) to explain what just happened. And then they become friends and that's how we get to the point near the end of the special, with everyone crowding around Charlotte happily. It's possible that Nagisa's wish either brought Charlotte to life as a doll, or she becomes Charlotte herself. Personally, it looks and acts more pet-like in this special.]

I wonder how close my theory is to reality...
Though the movie will definitely involve more than that, as will her character. At least, I can hope. I'm optimistic, though. =P

Got my tickets for the December screening in my home city, I'm so stoked I can hardly wait for this. Until then I'm probably avoiding watching videos or trailers. I had best avoid most Madoka videos for a while now....
