They pronounce Mami as "mammy" in this video, not sure if I can support that.

Animation studio SHAFT will unveil a short concept movie for a new story related to Puella Magi Madoka Magica for its "~Commemorating 40 Years of Shaft~ Madogatari" event in Tokyo on Friday. The movie hints at a new project for the franchise, but nothing has been officially announced.

So I don't know too much about the anime industry, is this like a pitch for a fourth Madoka movie or what? And are these kinda things released publicly?

Getting hyped.
I will flip the gently caress out if it's an actual sequel

I'm gonna keep an eye out for the "concept movie" getting uploaded somewhere or any announcements or w/e. Presumably it's already been shown in Japan by now.

It's already been kinda teased on the Japanese Madoka twitter for over a year now, but SHAFT has been posting pictures of the two franchises over each other, but I thought it was more of a "these are our franchises crossing as a joke" kind of thing.

Well the Madogatari event itself is an exhibit commemorating Shaft's 40th anniversary, but the short film itself is a new announcement made just before the official opening of the event. They've also definitely been pushing to keep the franchise visible lately, like with cross franchising (e.g. Madoka costumes available in Monster Hunter mobile recently) and an English dub of Rebellion that was released this Summer. Who knows what they're up to though with this.

I believe one bit of information that was confirmed was that the VAs came in to record some new lines. My guess is that they're making some goofy short with the characters of the two franchises and that will be the end of it.

But maybe if we're lucky they'll notice that people are actually excited about the prospect of more Madoka, and it'll move the corporate pursestrings.

Also, have some official art:

Well I hope you're wrong about it, but they did seem to bring in way more than necessary of the original staff if its just a dumb monogatari thing. Also I'm p sure SHAFT is well aware that there's interest in more Madoka since for the past two years they've falsely announced a new movie as an April Fools prank

Yeah the business case for it is a no-brainer, once the *gatari money-printer finally dies anyway. The bigger question imo is what the hell they'd do in creative terms and if it never happens then that's probably why.

As someone who likes both franchises (one much more than the other, mind you), I gotta say:
The prospect of a Madoka - Monogatari crossover is as mind-boggling as it is terrifying

Just... no

...yup, that's classic Monogatari right there.

I guess in the end you can only say that, no matter how high the creep factor, Shinobi will give it his all dammit
Let's just hope they don't cross the streams and let Monogatari's writer anywhere near Madoka...

I'd be curious about a crossover but I have no idea how that would work so /shrug.

Negative, at least from what I've seen. I was watching English and Japanese twitter for info so my guess is they misinterpreted when the thing was actually gonna be shown because the event goes for a couple weeks after opening today. Best I was able to find was a super engrishy post about going to the exhibit which said the new concept movie "in a small file" may yet "create a new hope." Or some similarly awkwardly phrased thing I haven't been able to find the article again

There are some scattered summaries on the concept movie. They're kind of messy and had some disagreeable details, but this one was general enough to corroborate with everything else.

I dunno about 'new', per se. There's conflicting details 'cause people only saw it once.

Interestingly, some artists have started drawing Madoka's new magical girl costume, the 'one with exposed flesh' that some of the summaries mention.

Gah I want to watch the new "concept movie." Been hoping someone at least filmed it with their phone but all I get for recent youtube uploads are largely AMVs (search term "madoka") and pachinko machines (search term "まどか")

I'm assuming they're gonna release it online once the entire Madogatari tour is done or something?
