A beautiful, sad, and horrifying scene all wrapped up in one package, perfect for a series that constantly subverts the "magical girl" trope in many creepy, cruel ways. What we see at the end here is destiny fulfilled, in a very bittersweet fashion. Homura achieved her goals of preventing her friend Madoka from ever becoming a magical girl, saving her from a life of tragedy and despair at least for the time being, which is where the bitter part comes into play, as Madoka may regain her powers one day and oppose Homura. One of the simultaneously most satisfying and most dark parts of this ending is Kyubey, the architect and progenitor of all the events that transpired, developing feelings for the first time, or at least not being able to handle the large burdens now placed inside of him by Homura. I'm sure long-time fans of this anime appreciated the just desserts towards this deceitful being. The emotions and beautiful animations and music makes me really want to check out the full thing for myself.
