Fans Create Petition to Name Nebula After Ultimate Madoka

Anime Fans Create Petition to Name Nebula After Ultimate Madoka

– February 9, 2013

Nebula NGC 6357 resembles Ultimate Madoka. Allegedly.

NGC 6357 looks something like this.

Some eagle-eyed Puella Magi Madoka Magica (http://www NULL.crunchyroll NULL.com/puella-magi-madoka-magica) fans have started a petition to convince the scientists of the Midcourse Space Experiment (http://en NULL.wikipedia NULL.org/wiki/Midcourse_Space_Experiment) (MSX) and the International Astronomical Union (http://www NULL.iau NULL.org/) to rename the NGC 6357 nebula (http://en NULL.wikipedia NULL.org/wiki/NGC_6357) the “Madokami Nebula” due to its alleged resemblance to Ultimate Madoka, series main character Madoka Kaname’s ultimate form.

The petition reads, in part:

It is our belief that NGC 6357 is the physical representation of Madoka Kaname… We feel that calling her Holiness the “War and Peace” Nebula is a desecration of the trials and hardships she endured in her life before her ascension. Thus, we humbly ask that NGC 6357 be renamed the “Madokami Nebula”.

NGC 6357 is a nebula in the constellation Scorpius. It was actually given the name War and Peace Nebula (http://www NULL.space NULL.com/16211-war-and-peace-nebula-photo NULL.html) by the MSX scientists—a moniker already cool in itself because the scientists feel that in infrared images, the bright, western part resembles a dove, and in contrast, the eastern part resembles a skull.

The petition can be found HERE (http://www NULL.change NULL.org/petitions/international-astronomical-union-change-the-official-name-of-nebula-ngc-6357-to-the-madokami-nebula).

We cannot guarantee that signing the petition is, in fact, making a contract with Kyubey.

Sign at your own risk!

For those of you who haven’t checked out Puella Magi Madoka Magica, I highly recommend you give it a look (http://www NULL.crunchyroll NULL.com/puella-magi-madoka-magica).

I remember seeing this on a list of the most overrated Animies. A poll conducted in Japan

  It’s probably overrated… but it’s also very, very good.
  It’s one of my personal favorites, so I won’t argue too much, but I can also understand why people don’t “get” it.

  The crunchyroll lists are usually stupid, and make no sense. Madoka Magica is listed as an incredibly overrated anime, yet Madoka and Homura are also listed as some of the best anime female characters in another.

  It’s popular and there is tons of hype surrounding it, so of course there’s gonna be people chiming in to say that it might be overrated.
  
  But it’s awesome. It’d be like someone saying adventure time is overrated. Maybe, but i love that too!
