... This leads me to believe that the only way for Homura to hear Madoka’s voice is that she is dying. Her MP is nearly completely used up and that causes her to fall into despair, but then Madoka reassures her it’s alright, and takes away the grief. Homura then smiles, knowing that she is in good hands. With the final ounce of her MP, she launches herself at the Majuu, effectively dying in battle. She dies smiling because she knows she will be reunited with Madoka.


Spoiler:
I disagree. You're taking the "Homura hears Madoka" event way too literally. I think it's symbolic of Homura maintaining hope by remembering what Madoka stood for. Also, witches no longer exist, so we cannot say for sure that Homura's 2nd wings were representative of despair. In fact, it would be weird for Homura to die after the OP lyric "I'll never lose heart again" and Madoka's "Do your best". Even odder for her to still have those wings (if they indeed represent despair) after hearing/remembering Madoka's voice. Not to mention that instead of fighting witches who have crazy motifs and color schemes, the laser-shooting demons in the new universe are just a flat white.

Spoiler:
It is only a theory if Homura was going to die at that point or just another one of her powers. Either one is a possibility since it is open ended.

It is as I said, "All things in blue should be taken with a grain of salt since they are speculations and not based off solid evidence." I have no solid proof for my speculations, but you don't either. It's pretty much up to all of us how we want to interpret the ending. Personally I think it's impossible for her to hear Madoka's voice under normal circumstances and that's the main reasoning behind my interpretation. If you want to think of it as remembering her voice, that's also OK.

I always prefer an original series than of it being based on something. We always get altered results whenever it's based on something.

Well, I just started to watching this yesterday, and it was awesome. I'm just thinking, "What type of crazy magical girl anime is this?" First time I've seen a non-cliche magical girl anime with good characters and...a rather creepy story.

I hope that second season slice of life rumor isnt true, that could ruin this anime. Not that I dont like slice of life or anything, it just doesnt suit this series.

I recently rewatched this show after not watching it for a few months and I have to admit, this quickly became my favorite series. Actually, this is now a part of my top 10 anime list. Now I'm waiting for the release in the States so I can support the show.

Mm, I wish for that as well. Although Bakemonogatari has a lot of text and references so maybe they feel intimidated by it.
