Full-time comic artist

A few minutes later, the people in the screening room left in an orderly manner.

Outside the venue, countless spectators waited to watch the long-awaited "Tales of Rebellion".

A new audience member excitedly asked the performers, "How was it?"

He was somewhat worried because these people seemed dazed, their eyes unfocused, as if they had been tortured terribly.

Those who watched a performance of "The Tale of Rebellion" gave it a thumbs up and genuinely said, "It's really amazing! It's even more interesting than the manga!"

Comics need to establish a world view, while animated films only need to build upon that world view and then tell the story.

From a sensory perspective, two hours is enough to describe Homura Akemi's rebellious story as thoroughly enjoyable.

"Really!" The new audience member was somewhat incredulous.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is among the top ten Japanese manga, and there are only a handful of works in the same league.

Can a theatrical version truly surpass the brilliance of the original work?

"Of course it's true! It's just that my brain is all messed up right now, and I can't say anything."

He tapped his head. The content of "The Tale of Rebellion" was too much, making him dizzy and feeling like the plot was about to overflow his brain.

"Shall we watch it again later?" he asked his companion, turning to him.

“Okay,” his companion readily agreed.

However, all the movie tickets were sold out, so if they wanted to see the movie, they would have to wait until the day after tomorrow.

……

After leaving the movie theater, Hibiki Higashino and Akemi Akemi drove straight home.

Akemi Akemi chattered away, discussing the movie's content with Hibiki Higashino the entire time.

She was incredibly excited and felt like she had so much to say. She had initially chosen not to read the movie script, but now she was pleasantly surprised.

"This is amazing! This is my favorite animated movie of the year!"

"The Tale of Rebellion" is full of details, with visuals full of foreshadowing and metaphors, and background music of different styles that play when needed.

Light, fast-paced, mythical epic feel, seductive...

Above all that, the most outstanding aspect is undoubtedly the plot.

The character of Homura Akemi has been further enhanced on an already well-developed foundation.

She understood Xiaoyuan's feelings and chose to go against Xiaoyuan's decision, forcibly bringing her back to reality.

"I'm glad you're satisfied." Higashino nodded.

The success of an animated film depends on more than just the script. Mistakes in any aspect, such as music, directing, animation, production, or voice acting, can affect the overall effect.

Hibiki Higashino was also pleasantly surprised, but he didn't show it.

He just smiled, his mind filled with what he had just seen.

"Higashino, why don't Homura Akemi choose to live forever with Madoka Kaname within the 'Law of Cycles'?"

Higashino glanced at the rearview mirror and, allowing himself a moment of distraction, replied, "Because Madoka Kaname said she's in pain, and she wants to be with her family and friends."

"That's all?"

That's all.

Homura Akemi initially accepted Madoka Kaname's decision, but after understanding Madoka's feelings, she developed the idea of ​​becoming a demon.

It brings the human side of the gods into the human world.

She succeeded in the end.

"Of course, if Homura Akemi compromises, that would be a bad ending."

"Why?" Akemi Akimiya asked curiously.

"Because Kyubey's goal was about to be achieved. Homura Akemi entered 'Heaven,' and Kyubey observed the 'Law of Circles.'"

"Oh, I see!" Akemi Akemi suddenly slapped her thigh; she had completely forgotten about Kyubey.

"Hey? Why doesn't it hurt?"

"You slapped my thigh..." Higashino winced in pain. "You can slap me however you want in bed, even my butt, but I'm driving right now..."

Akemi Akemi clasped her hands together and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I got too excited."

After that, Higashino Hibiki dared not discuss it with her anymore.

The two of them returned to the garage in silence without saying a word.

After leaving the garage, they took out their keys and prepared to open the door, only to find that the door was not closed, but just ajar.

"Ok?"

Higashino Hibiki was very puzzled; he clearly remembered locking the door before leaving.

"How is this going?"

He and Akemi Akemi exchanged glances, and the two cautiously entered the villa.

They hadn't changed their shoes, and Higashino Hibiki even took the shoehorn that was placed by the door.

A voice came from the living room: "Goal! China scores!"

That's incredibly arrogant.

Higashino pointed to the living room, and the two tiptoed over.

"Hey, teachers, you're finally back."

Koji Yoshida didn't turn his head, crossed his legs and watched TV, speaking calmly.

"So it was you, Yoshida..." Higashino Hibiki breathed a sigh of relief and casually tossed the shoehorn aside.

"That's really going too far. He watched TV in my house without saying a word."

“Yes!” Akemi Akemi nodded indignantly. She sniffed the air and smelled a faint whiff of smoke. “At least you should have notified us.”

Yoshida pointed to his phone on the coffee table. "Take a look."

The Higashino couple quickly took out their phones, only to realize that they had forgotten to turn them on.

Higashino Hibiki felt a chill run down his spine as his phone screen lit up. There were dozens of missed calls, most of which were from Yoshida Koji.

Among them are Kazuhiko Torishima, Hiroyuki Yatsu, and Takashi Sasaki...

So many people were looking for him during his movie break!

Higashino asked in surprise, "Is something wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Teacher!" Yoshida stood up and said loudly, "Of course there are many things! How could you turn off your phone! How am I supposed to contact you now! What if something happens to you!"

He lost his composure and questioned her urgently.

“Yoshida-kun, it’s alright,” Akemi Akemi reassured him. “With me here, Hibiki will be fine.”

"Even Professor Akimiya has areas she can't always cover. As the editor, I have to know her situation at all times!"

Akemi Akemi raised her hands, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Higashino Hibiki was puzzled. What kind of fragile constitution did he have? How could he get into trouble so easily?

She's not a female protagonist in a drama, so she could easily run into trouble if she's not careful.

But faced with Yoshida's anxiety, he could only make a promise first.

"It won't happen again next time."

……

"That was absolutely fantastic."

"An unparalleled feeling!"

"Xiao Yan, I'm really going to cry my eyes out."

"She bore the curse and became a demon for Xiaoyuan, restoring peace to the world. How was that selfish?"

"She disregarded everything for her own purposes, her heart was filled only with love for Xiaoyuan, and she even went against Xiaoyuan's wishes, which was of course selfish."

"Madoka obeys the rules and wants to return to the 'Law of Cycles,' but Homura's heart is filled with desire, preventing Madoka's actions. Even if it means becoming enemies, she wants to keep Madoka Kaname alive. That's what rebellion means, isn't it?"

As soon as "The Rebel Story" was released, it sparked a lot of discussion on various Japanese forums.

Posts sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Any post will have a bunch of people discussing it.

The manga that concluded in Chapter 410 is... Slam Dunk!

"Without a doubt, this is another success for Mr. Tori Akino." During the interview, an audience member gave a thumbs up.

The survey conducted by Madhouse regarding Hibiki Higashino also showed that most viewers were very satisfied.

Audiences felt it was a "brilliant sequel".

Film critic Setsu Shimizu gave it a 4-star rating, while critic Utamaru gave it a perfect score of 100.

Magazine editor Tsunehiro Uno summed up the film with the words "It's fantastic."

Professor Toshio Okada of Osaka University of Arts gave it a high score of 92.

"The Rebellion" has received rave reviews after just one week of release.

However, some readers expressed dissatisfaction, feeling that the theatrical version was a poor sequel to the TV series.

“I’m telling you,” said literary writer Genichi Murakami on the live television broadcast, clearly annoyed, “the Puella Magi Madoka Magica manga has a very complete storyline and doesn’t need a sequel.”

Before becoming a witch, the magical girl was saved by Madoka.

The world still needs magical girls to fight, but Madoka's mission has been completed.

Homura Akemi carries her memories of Madoka Kaname, waiting for the day of their reunion, without needing any embellishment.

The manga's deconstruction of magical girls has achieved a perfect result.

"With the appearance of 'Rebellion Story', the story of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' is incomplete and urgently needs a sequel to complete the plot."
