Join host Kari Lane, Veronica Valencia, and Ollie Drennan with special guests Alex von David (English dir of Madoka), Lauren Landa (Kyoko) and Sarah Williams (Sayaka) as they dive into ep 4-6.

Everyone learns the scary truth that when you become a magical girl, your soul becomes the Soul Gem and your body is really just a shell. How will this change Madoka’s choice to become a magical girl? Alex, Lauren and Sarah also share their love of the show, fun behind the scenes moments and whose costume/which magical girl they love best.

Season 1 Episodes 1-3 'Madoka Magica' Review
‘Madoka Magica’ changed the magical girl genre by raising the stakes (you can DIE!), dark/eerie overtones and realistic modern day weapons (guns) all while being a super cute art style. Join host Kari Lane and Ollie Drennan with special guest Cristina Vee (the voice of Homera) as they dive into ep 1-3. What is with these “contracts”? Can you trust something really cute (Kyubey)? Is Homura a villain or just rough around the edges? Cristina also talked about how she originally was not cast in the show but stuck with it to bring this complex character to life.
