Line 3:
As a [[Deconstruction]] of the [[Magical Girl]] genre {{spoiler|with the plot of a [[Cosmic Horror Story]]}} it is no surprise that ''[[
* {{spoiler|Mami's death}} in Episode 3, as well as any mention of it in the subsequent episodes. Madoka crying the next morning during breakfast because she's so lucky to be alive is particularly heartwrenching.
Line 9:
* This tropette is rewatching the series. In Episode 6, when Madoka and her mother talks into the night and her mother asked to grow up faster so they can to drink alcohol together... *sniff* I've shed a few tears.
** Becomes even ''[[Harsher in Hindsight|sadder]]'' when you consider what happened in the final episode. *sob* {{spoiler|They will ''never'' get to drink together...}}
*** Scenes with Madoka and her family become tearjerkers when you watch the end and {{spoiler|you realize just what she was giving up when she made her wish to erase every witch from the past, present and future, and [[Ascend to
* Episode 7, beginning with {{spoiler|Sayaka in the bed, holding her soul.}} My god, she is so broken here.
{{quote| '''Sayaka:''' "I'll never be able to hold him with these arms, or kiss him with these lips..."}}
Line 18:
** [[Eri Kitamura]], Sayaka's voice actress, said in an interview that she and [[Aoi Yuki]] (Madoka's voice actress) sobbed during the episode's recording.
** At the beginning of the episode, Madoka tries to convince Sayaka to stop fighting recklessly, resulting in the latter snapping at her for claiming to sympathize with her while doing nothing and tells her to become a [[Magical Girl]] if she really wants to understand what she's going through before storming off. This scene is tragic for a couple of reasons: 1) Up to then, Sayaka had been admant about Madoka not contracting which shows just how much the stress of being a [[Magical Girl]] have really gotten to her. 2) There's also Madoka's [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]] which only gets worsened after this. {{spoiler|3) This is the last meeting between Madoka and Sayaka before she turns into a witch so there is no reconciliation.}}
* Also from episode 8, Homura's absolutely ''heartbreaking'' breakdown after she {{spoiler|saves Madoka from [[Deal

Homura has already seen Madoka die at least four times; no matter how hard she tries to change Madoka's mind again and again, it keeps ending, ultimately, the same way. Four times? I think the word that Kyubey and Homura uses is ... countless.}}
* Episode 9. {{spoiler|1=Madoka's reaction to Sayaka's death, leaning over the body and crying into her chest. Then, Kyoko's [[Heroic Sacrifice]]/[[Mercy Kill]] on Witch!Sayaka, saying she understands how horrible it is to be alone, and she won't let Sayaka die that way.}}
