It's the complete lack of remorse for anything he does. Its what I absolutely love about the character.

It REALLY irritates me that people make out he's a villain and/or completely evil though. Its like they weren't paying attention at all.

Kyubey is sort of a Lucifer figure really. Sure, what he does may seem evil and heartless but Kyubey himself doesn't view what he's doing as morally wrong. He has some understanding as to why humans do which is why he finds the whole soul being ripped out from your body and you'll eventually die horribly or turn into a witch aspect of the contract but what he does is ultimately for the greater good of the universe. To quote Spock from Star Trek "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few... and the one."

Exactly. There's so much more to it than "oh he's the cute mascot that is actually evil" :lol

Which kind of sums up a lot of people's reaction to Madoka as a whole where they think "Oh, it's a cute show that turns out to be dark and scary where everyone dies horribly with no really point to it." Fiction is a lot more complex than good vs evil, I hope that more people come to realize that...
I really do.

I really am enjoying Sword Art Online. :D

Glad to see you enjoying it. ^-^

I'm now 9 episodes into Madoka and afraid to finish it (though I know I could tonight if I wanted to). It is good but moving at such a fast pace. I think the episode count could've easily been doubled without the show suffering.

Oh and the Sayaka stuff was messed up.

And even though I know at this point it won't be a good thing when she finally does... it does still bother me that Madoka hasn't contracted yet. Just because we've seen her magical girl form from the beginning.

That little problem will be fixed soon... very soon. ;)
