Mami brought Sayaka and Madoka to her aparment. She explained the fundamental things to know about a Magical girl. One essential part of this anime is the Soul Gem. It is a jewel born when a girl contracts with Kyubey.
Witches are not like magical girls. They are actually the villains in this anime.
"If magical girls are born from wishes,
then witches are born from curses.
If magical girls spread hope,
then witches scatter despair." - kyubey
Witches hide themselves in labyrinth. Labyrinths are the one I described earlier that has a weird art. It's like a collage of differently made graphic styles. You'll understand me when you see it. Magical girls fight with witches inside that weird looking place. They do all the actions in it without getting seen in a normal world.
Portal to the labyrinth
Inside the labyrinth
(well not all labyrinth have the same look inside.)
(This is a witch inside the labyrinth)
My first impression seeing this witch - *left eyebrow raised.. witch??
Well magical girls can have telepathy, on a close range, through Kyubey. (just to add that)
Madoka and Sayaka is starting to get pretty involve with this Magical Girl thing. They seem to be attracted with the idea of being a Magical Girl but get worries very much with the issue of risking their lives. Well that's so normal with every Magical shows, heroes and heroines get scared but will still fight at any rate. With their case, maybe not now but soon!
Mami starts to explain why Homura is acting weird in front of them. When all of them now become magical girls, they'd all clash because as Mami said, defeating a witch has a reward, which is a Grief Seed. One can acquire it from a defeated witch and can be used to restore the magic powers' they've used. It's an expected idea also since some anime does this style too. Magical girls have to find these seeds or they might get weaker, ayt? I just never thought they'd all be rival for that reward.
Overall the episode just delivers fundamental information about the whole plot of the story. A few explanations will be credited to this ep but still contains more question and suspicions like what might be the real reason why Homura doesn't want them to be a magical girl. I don't trust the rewards. And the episode proves me that this is not really like sailormoon or cardcaptor sakura-like magical show, ayt? (refer to the pictures below!) A girl with guns!! just like a character from the guild of fairy tail.

But sad to say that Madoka's character has only shown us of her soft side, her character is building pretty slow here. Let's watch the next episodes for that.
Episode Rate: 7.5/10
