Puella Magi madoka Magica ( hope and despair ) vs My Happy Marriage ( hope and healing )


Both anime are basically about one thing: Love, hope, despair and healing... While one anime tells us what happens when hope gets broken and you fall in despair, while other explains what happen when a hope come in the life filled with despair



PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA


Puella Magi Madoka Magica is one of the favorite anime series because it's one of the best philosophical anime written alongside Parasyte the Maxim.

It has great and unique world building and concept of Witches and magical girls, the best philosophical aspect in the anime. Unlike other fantasy anime, it's NOT about fighting the witches and having powerups as magical girl.

MY FAV ASPECTS:


  • This anime explores theme of Anthropocentrism (relative worth of humans)

Spoiler said a wise entity called kyubey 😭🗿

Kyubey represents the ultimate materialist view of the universe. To him, the human body is just a meat machine, working on electricity and hormonal chemicalks. Kyubey represents ultimate logical higher dimensional being whose utter purpose is to maintain the universe.



  • This anime also explores the theme of Love, karmic value and existence, ENSCAPABLE DUALITY OF HOPE AND DESPAIR.


my rating: definitely 9.5/10

MY HAPPY MARRIAGE


On the other hand, my My happy Marriage is a fantasy romance drama that follows a girl named Miyo Saimori who has abandoned all hope and is in despair due to severe Domestic Violence and Suppression. It's worldbuilding is soothing and calm with excellent animations.

MY FAV ASPECTS:


  • Anime features the theme of Gradual Healing of Decayed hope and overcoming despair.
  • The Anime is based on Women Safety and concerns, one of the major themes we should focus on. This anime teach us how genuine Love can reignite the happiness and heal trauma.,


WHY I COMPAIRED THE TWO UNRELATED ANIME?


At first, it may feel the genre and theme seems to be unrelated, but in reality it's NOT. There is ONe major Theme that both anime have BUT in opposite.

  • In Madoka Magica, we meet secondary protagonists like Sayaka who had lost all hope and simply isolated herself from her Best Friends and Society, ultimately doing Suic*de by turning herself into Spoiler. This way we learn that after learning the cause and effect of our actions, one might think that they have ruined their life, while seeming to be normal to others.


  • We learn in Madoka magica the value of human and the ultimate Universal Utilitarianism (ideology of Kyubey). While exploring the deep psychological states of Isolated girls like Homura Akemi.





AND IN SEQUEL MOVIE: REBELLION, we explore more complex themes of Love, and Humanity


  • then in Anime My Happy marriage, the theme inverts, we explore the meaning of love and what happens when deeply traumatised person starts opening herself/himself rather than isolating herself (like in case of Sayaka from Madoka Magica).
