THIS REVIEW IS SPOILER FREE

Intro:
Before you read this review know that this anime is my one of my favourite anime so i will be giving it praise or essentially fangirling and just why this is my favourite anime to give you an idea of what you're getting into. If you're looking for a more balence/critical review this might not be the one to read.

The Perfect Fanservice:
Madoka Magica Rebellion is a perfect fanservice for Madoka Magica (the original series) and Homura Akemi fans alike.
If you're a fan of Mami and wanted more screentime and action this movie delivers,if you wanted to see more of Mami and Madoka together this movie has it, if you're a fan of Sayaka and Kyoko and their relationship this movies got it for you, if you love Madoka and her kindness toward everyone this movie has that. To top it off if you love Homura and her dedication to protecting and caring for her best friend this film has it for you.
If you want a movie as gripping/emotional as the original series with the same characters you loved making a return this has it all.
The movies main focus is Homura and just how strong her feelings are or just how much she cares about Madoka.

The Big Fear:
The big worry for all of us watching this movie was 'the ending finished so perfectly how can they top it?' but this movie smashes the original in every aspect in my opinion. I will reccomend not jumping to your own conclusions to quickly about the ending of the movie. I did this originally and I hated it. But after some consideration I realised just what had happened and it's clearly a superior more satisfying ending than the original series.

Art:
The animation throughout the film is loyal to the original but also vastly superior due to being newer + more budget and the circumstances in the movie. Throughout the film there are subtle metaphors and foreshadowing that don't feel forced or out of place they're used as pillow shots (shots to give the audiece a chance to breath) but they actually all have meaning toward the characters and plot.

Conclusion:
This movie blew me away in every aspect possible. I have nothing but praise for this movie for delivering the best experience I've ever seen on screen.I do hope however I haven't made the standards too high though but I want to give credit where I believe it's due. I can't express enough how beautiful this film is and how much I reccomend this to any fan of the original Madoka Magica series.

Unrelated thoughts on the upcomming sequel:
Now we sit in wait for the sequel for this movie. While I do have concerns about how it will continue, finish and if it ends up being a disappointment I mostly am just hyped because if the writers can pull off a show that tops the original series that felt untouchable in the first place I feel confident and have faith they can pull off a satisfying sequel. That's if it is a sequel and not extra added lore on walpursgisnacht.
