(Livechart.me suggests that at least in the US both HBO Max and Netflix have lost the license since last year; HBO Max isn’t a surprise with the rest of what the new suits have done to it, Netflix is.)
##**A Reminder to Rewatchers:**
Please do not spoil the experience for our first timers. In particular, [PMMM] >!Mentioning ~~beheading~~, ~~cakes~~, ~~phylacteries/liches~~, ~~the **ma**hou shou**jo** pun~~, ~~aliens~~, ~~time travel~~, or the like outside of spoiler tags before their relevant episodes is a fast way to get a referral to the subreddit mods. As Sky would put it, you’re probably not as subtle as you think you’re being. Leave that sort of thing for people who *can* do subtle… namely the show’s creators themselves. (Seriously, go hunt down all the visual foreshadowing of a certain episode 3 event in episode 2, it’s fun!)!<

**Episode 10** [**Visual of the Day Album**](https://imgur.com/a/27xqaKr)
(I may have missed one, if I missed yours let me know. Note: Tagging your Visuals of the Day as “[X] of the Day” makes them easier for me to find!)
(~~Imgur’s upload function appear to be down at the moment and the catbox is not a great tool for VotD albums. I’ll edit this in later.~~ Hooray Imgur uploads are back! VotD album has been added.)
**Theory of the Day:**
We’re getting late in the game for theory, but u/Blackheart595 [has a fun one](https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1336kw9/rewatch_puella_magi_madoka_magica_episode_10/jiaqetp/):
> The Incubators are a hive mind. They don’t understand emotions because they don’t understand individuality. Instead they regard races themselves as the true unit, as a superorganism. Hence he really thinks so when he says humanity benefits from Madoka’s sacrifice, as he can’t imagine humanity surviving but then being all alone in the universe to be worthwhile. On the other hand, leeching off humanity will help prevent the universe going empty, and who knows, humanity might just find a way to survive through the ordeal.
**Analysis of the Day:**
u/Vaadwaur collects today’s [short but sweet analysis](https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1336kw9/rewatch_puella_magi_madoka_magica_episode_10/ji8876h/) award:
> Homura has no clue what God is, she even likely lacks the framework for doing so. And yet her search produces a brightness that can bring comfort and joy to so many of us.
**Question(s) of the Day:**
1) So, we’ve been building up to it for the entire series; did the ~~Walrus~~ Walpurgisnacht fight live up to the hype?
2) Your thoughts on the farming analogy?
3) First-Timers: So, first-timers and especially u/SometimesMainSupport… what do you think Madoka will wish for? [](#urbansmile)
4) First-Timers: What is today’s date, and what holiday falls on that date? [](#urbansmile) (Only one of you noted catching onto this beforehand this year, I am disappoint.)
