Some pics from the Madoka meet and greet in LA tonight <3! I wasn’t sure if I was gonna be able to make it or not, but at the last minute we decided to make the drive :D! I really enjoyed getting to see the english Madoka cast in person ~ and of course getting to meet other cosplayers as well! Thanks to Kate and Diana for letting me borrow Charlotte for some pics, too! >w<
….oh!! do full versions of these outfits exist anywhere…??! *w*

I like how everyone of them has their own individual transformation sequence + their outfits aren’t just the same with a different color combination.

When you think about it, there’s a very solid reason why that’s the case, and not just because it looks nice.
In most Mahou Shoujo series, the magical girls are a unit, they’re working together as friends and comrades to achieve their goal. Their outfits and transformations reflect that by mimicking each others because they are together as magical girls. Their goal as magical girls is achievable because they are together, and more of them is better and makes them more capable of reaching their goal.
In Madoka, that is very much not the case. The goal of a magical girl in Madoka is not achievable by working together, and each girl is very much on her own. Even when working together, they are in it for themselves and themselves alone. Each magical girl in Madoka is a single unit, separated from every other magical girl. They are dressed differently and their transformations are separate to further emphasis they are all on their own.
Reblogging for pretty henshins as well as insightful magical girl analysis ~ :3

This is why the madoka cast needs more canon artbook designs. THIS IS WHY. /forevertemptedtocosplayfanart
