Mahou Shoujo Madoka completely caught me off guard; it’s been a while since an anime infused my brain with some massive amount of steroid and made every neuron of my central nervous system working. Now that it finally came into its conclusion, I can’t think of anything else how to decipher this series but to psychoanalyze an exceptionally psycho-show using the theories of the most notable psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud. Together with Lacan’s concepts, I argue that Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica rightly befalls into the definition of Death Drive.
