Why do people like this character?

She's the viewer. Ep12 is literally Madoka cradling Homura explaining to her why she's going to grow up an make a mature decision.

There's a reason why 'Rebellion' is the end of Homura's story. She literally trapped in a dream world, there's endless fanservice even yuri vahalla, and in the end her 'triumph' is to make Madoka her doll, and even then, the final scene is Homura realizing she never could never have Madoka.

Madoka= Anime Girl
Homura= Hopeless Otaku

Urobutcher slays his audience along with the characters. Now go watch Thunderbolt Fantasy like a real man, Melody of the West was fucking great.

If Homura is a self-insert, how come people who hate self-inserts and hate power-fantasies love her so much? Is the yuritranny meme real?

Until Rebellion ruined it all. Fortunately it can and should be ignored as the non canon cashgrab that it is.

That's very uninteresting and not original, but it does make her more likable than not I guess.

Because boys are cuter than girls.

Because she's a deconstruction of those power of friendship protagonists who obsess over a character for no good reason because leaving any friend behind is a betrayal of their ideals.

s3 when
did corona kill it?

How is she a 'deconstruction' of this trope?

They all look like girls, shut up.

The self insert is clearly Madoka

it isnt. vast majority of its production cast still works at SHAFT

Homura is a pure magical girl of love and courage who pulled God from heaven with her own hands in order to save her best friend and redeemed the entire hopeless universe with the power of love.

Some people say, that Homura is a deconstruction of a magical girl because she fights with weapons and is cold and distant.
But those people forget that if you look into the heart of hearts and into what is ACTUALLY making a magical girl magical in the first place,
then you will see that all along,

Akemi Homura is the purest Magical Girl of love and courage.

Homu a shit, Sayaka a cute

Shaft is beyond Irrelevant in 2020 CoPe

She stopped at nothing to save her friend in Rebellion too.

>edgy sad suffering grill going dying for her crush
beloved by irl grills because she's oh my gawd like so relatable
beloved by guise because she got black hair and doesn't talk

I honestly don't know, she's a flat and boring one dimensional character.

She rebels against Madoka selfless wish to make her own. She desires her happiness to such an extent she doesn't care about her own agency.
t.Homura

Sayaka was a dumb retard who went meguka against all good advice and then decided to hate humanity because two assholes on a train said girls r dum.

I wish it was a dead franchise. Madoka should have stayed kinda niche like Lain, instead of becoming consoomer bait.

are you the mal guy again? are you still sucking cocks for a living?

>hero
If anyone is the hero it's Madoka, because she made things better for everyone. Homura didn't even try to account for the incubators' perspective, that's hardly heroic.

That's exclusive to Rebellion though, and was more of an excuse to make otaku pandering garbage than anything else.
