Disaster capitalist grants the wishes of adolescent girls by pitting them against their former proletarians in a debt economy. As with all debt economies the future is denied by a promise made in the past. The girls labour indefinitely towards the reproduction of their reified desires which becomes increasingly alien to them. At the peak of alienation hope transforms to despair, joy to resentment. Political consciousness arises as the knowledge of inescapable servitude — the death of becoming. The girls are thrown out of homeostasis. They become abject, abnormal, grotesque — biopolitical excess. The disaster capitalist pockets the profits from the affective spectacle then sends in other labourers to clean up the mess.

Crises are built into the system — economic, social, existential, physical. It's for the greater good to profit off of misery.

Great anime — awful manga adaptation. Confusing panel transitions and fight scenes, a straight up copy of the original script, no Shaft/InuCurry postmodern gothic craft-a-noon visuals, nor Kajiura Yuki's somber and poignant soundtrack. It misses everything that gave the original anime its aura and adds nothing to make itself stand apart as a manga. I don't need no Kyubey playing cutesy impression management on me.

This is another case of having watched the anime, I find the manga kind of lacking. I was hoping I'd get more story, more in depth on Madoka's life, but it feels very close to the anime. I don't think I'll keep reading; the anime is incredibly compelling, between the musical score and fantastic animation, so I'll stick to that if I want to re-visit the Madoka world.

Ya so this was pretty good. I remember I watched the first couple of episodes of the anime and found it super freaky and the manga doesn’t elicit that same creep factor until you know who gets eaten. I’m invested enough to read the next 2.

Somehow manages to be incredibly cute and incredibly evil.

I like it.
