If I knew the repercussions I can't say that I would. But then the people they pick are circumstancial and they need the person to have some reason to make a wish. Maybe I at the end of the day, I would purely on that basis. Who knows! :P

True, the circumstantial part is very important. QB only offers contracts when the girls are highly distressed and emotional, to ensure that they'll make a hasty wish that will lead to even more negative emotions. All for the sake of farming a bigger grief seed.

Probably not. I don't really want to be a Mahou Shounen.

I definitely wouldn't make a wish for someone else, like Sayaka did. Unless they're a family member, and even then I wouldn't be willing to make a wish for just any family member.

CONTRACT?


Honestly, yes. As horrible as the whole ordeal is, it'd be super cool for a while until I lose all hope. And hell, maybe I'd find some cool way to break the system with my wish.
Haha, cute! I saw that in your custom title earlier.

Before the events of episode 8 I would've said yes in a heartbeat. Affffffter the rest of the series, I think I'd mull it over for a few more minutes, but in the end I'd still say yes.

True enough! (Though neither Madoka nor Sayaka seemed to have a huge reason to do so, Madoka for obvious reasons and Sayaka because she eventually used it on someone else. (I wouldn't use it on someone else, either.))

I wonder, would it be possible to wish for a long, happy, and healthy life? Full of fighting witches, of course.

Or what about those that wish for immortality? Or do they just get some twisted form of immortality as a witch? Seems very monkey paw-esque, but I wouldn't put it past ol' QB.

Also, this:

I would completely agree, and say that's probably what it would be, yeah.

Actually tried out this anime myself. I like how it's a grimdark deconstruction of the magical girl image. Personally, I'm a Kyoko fan.

Oh, I'm alright with the fact Kyubey essentially made them into liches (by definition, they essentially are those) as a way to keep the Universe going.

Yeah, Nate. Liches are usually defined by the practice of having their soul placed in an item (surprise, it's usually a gemstone or something small) with the practice of phylactery. In a way, the item is their body and it controls their old one like a puppet. As long as the item is unharmed, the user is essentially immortal and a few other bonuses is their healing and dullness of pain...

Yeah, I took this thread and made it go up many levels of creepy by comparing puella magi to liches by definition.

Oh, I know what they are. I've played many a share of DnD (currently, 3 sessions a week. Yeah. I'm that hardcore).

But yeah. The creepy levels. Off the charts.

Would... that make kyubey some sort of... arch... lich?

The re-watch bonus is the best part with anime. If you watched it with a certain mentality and then do it again thinking in a certain way, it feels as if all the episodes are brand new and less mind-screwy.
