I really wish this had had a few more episodes. I like what I watched but also it felt so rushed. Just a bit more time would've helped quite a bit, especially with the final Kuroe moments and the last fight. Still, some high emotional moments and overall the series was pretty good I feel.

Touka kind of sucks, but also she's pretty interesting

Seems we’ll finally be getting some info on the new Madoka movie next month:

We’re already at a point where it’s reasonable for a fan of the franchise to not even have been alive when the show first aired. >_>

This year’s also the 10th anniversary of Rebellion (though that’s no guarantee the movie will actually be out this year)

We've got our first trailer for the new Madoka movie:

Seems it's currently expected for a Winter 2024 release

I dunno if I really need to put screencaps of a movie trailer in spoilers but I'll do it just in case I guess.

Looks like Homura's delightfully horrible familiars are still around:



Madoka has acquired the title of "Legendary Bestie"

Seems like the plot is that Homura is roping in deputizing a new Mari character magical girl to reconnect her with Madoka. The way her hair and costume resembles a muted combination of Homura and Madoka's, while she's using Homura's bow, and the sequence uses the Sagitta Luminis motif, makes me wonder if she is some sort of creation of Homura's.

Oh boy, time to re-watch an entire series and several movies

Actually you just need to watch one movie (Rebellion), the first two are just an abridged retelling of the series proper

Also I’d recommend watching the series proper instead of the first two movies as from what I understand they cut a fair bit of stuff

The first two movies have some scenes that are done a bit differently, like Sayaka's battle against Elsa Maria, and I think the movies have what is probably the idealized vision of what the environmental design is supposed to look like (tv -> bluray -> movie is an escalation of how baroque a school can look before the setting starts entering the realm of sci-fi or allegory). It also has some additional music done by Kalafina, which IMO is a mixed bag. I love Kalafina, but the show's original soundtrack still feels like the 'canon' to me. The episode 3 stinger obviously doesn't hit as hard in the movie adaptations.

imo they're perfectly good for re-views, but watching the blu-ray cut of the show and then rebellion is probably the best way to get a full experience of madoka.

Yeah, I'm not against compilation movies but I don't mind putting in the time to watch the full series. And I'm doing it because I only can remember the broad strokes of the story not the smaller details and moments. But for some reason I've completely memory holed Rebellion.

The movies also have a bunch of new background music which I think are mostly very good and make it a fresh experience, although all the remixes of Decretum they use are not as good as Decretum.

New trailer dropped - although it's identical to the first until 1:20.
