Eh? I'm one of the people who loved the hell out of the ending. Let me see if I can explain why.

First of all, though this has already been addressed: Homura didn't forget Madoka, she just became not a sobbing wreck at the thought of not being able to interact with her much anymore.

Secondly: According to the stinger, Madoka can come and see Homura whenever she wants. Also! Madoka flat out explained this herself, when Homura's done fighting, she (like EVERY OTHER MAGICAL GIRL) gets to come live in Madoka's plane of existence forever. With all the other magical girls! This was flat-out explained. I'm not sure where you could have gotten the 'never see her again' thing from.

Thirdly: Madoka can totally interact with the world! She played with her little brother, and her mother even spotted her a time or two. Plus she gets to talk with every magical girl who vanishes and ease them into her realm. That's exactly what she wanted. She's made totally aware of the consequences of her wish and accepts it.

Fourthly: It wasn't even really cheap. They had been building up to it the whole show. Yeah, watching it the first time you're probably too stunned from each thing that happens to get it, but there's a lot of clues. The amount of power she has stored in her from Homura's time looping. How each thing that happens just seems to barely spare her from having to contract. Being told the history of the Incubators. Kyubey saying things like 'you could even become a god.' It was perfectly well hinted at.

Plus, due to Kyubey's speech to her on the history of their worlds, she knows she can't do something like just keep them from picking Earth (not to mention that would be selfish! She isn't selfish.) She knows she needs to change things so that the Incubators will not be devoted to sacrificing them. Which means she needs to unmake witches. Which leads to...her wish. She actually picked what I would consider the most rational wish, given the resources she had.

It was so incredibly awesome to see a series that not only has a resolution, but a resolution that actually fixes the problems with the world that can be fixed. Instead of so many other shows, wherein yes, the bad guy is defeated, but the problem could totally crop up again with a new villain because the world is still structured the same. It was a wonderful deconstruction of the genre, and I recommend the show to anyone who wants an anime along these lines to watch largely because of that.

...Sorry for the words and the tl;dr, I'm just trying to explain.

Well said! I also loved the ending, so you're preaching to the choir here, but I think you covered all of the relevant points thoughtfully and concisely.
