#1 Megami Interview 12eps.jpg
Megami Magazine, pre-broadcast
Akiyuki Shinbo:

Once it ends, I want [the viewers] to watch again one more time. I want to make it a show that you can enjoy watching 12 episodes straight. There might even be some parts that is not understandable without watching it that way. I think it is fun if you watch it once you know how it ends. You can empathize the characters that way, and you can discover something new by watching it from different viewpoint.

* Every word from Homura has meaning.
  • We will deliver a certain theme throughout the series.
  • Mahou shoujo does not equal heroine.
  • It doesn't have to follow the defeating-one-enemy-a-week pattern.
  • Weapons of magical girls and the concept of enemy are different from standard.
  • Each character has a strong attachment to their past or present.

*Mahou Shoujo in this show are not united as a single group.
  • Main element of the story is how everyone from a different standpoint understands each other.
  • Everything about Homura is mysterious, unlike other characters whose parts and motivation are clear.
  • Mami knows the mechanism of the world to a certain degree, so her part is a guide to Madoka and Sayaka.
  • Madoka and Sayaka will follow the way Mami leads, but at a certain point they might choose their own paths.
  • Urobuchi "this is my first time I have been entrusted with a big task that is scenario for all episodes, I feel like I can say I'm an anime scenario writer now (laughs). Can I go ahead from this point is up to "Madoka."
Interview with Gen Urobuchi

Question 1 : What do you think of Kyubey?
  • Madoka (Aoi Yuuki): *smile* (a smile after a victory)
  • Homura (Chiwa Saito): (SHAFT head tilt)
  • Mami (Kaori Mizuhashi): Let's see, Kyubey is really my friend, so I hope everyone can get along with him a little better (ha ha ha)
  • Sayaka (Eri Kitamura): Kyu, Kyubey!!
  • Kyouko (Ai Nonaka): Such a pain. (Kyoko's voice)
  • QB (Emiri Katou): I didn't understand how you felt... I'm sorry.

Question 2 : Which one of your character's scenes has stuck in your head?

  • Madoka : After episode 3, there hasn't been an episode where Madoka hasn't cried.
  • Homura : Every scene with Homura in episode 10. Her feelings for Madoka really moved me.
  • Mami : The scene where I talked about my contract. Oh, and the transformation and battle scenes were awesome.
  • Sayaka : The scene where I say "Miracles and magic both exist". I think that's when, in some ways, "Magical Girl Sayaka Magica" started.
  • Kyouko : The line "Kuukai?". Whenever she says it, it gives me a feeling that she's opening her heart and wanting to share her food, and it makes my heart skip a beat.
  • QB : The scene where QB was shot full of holes was really shocking.

Question 3 : If you had magic, what magic would you want?

  • Madoka : I want the magic to be positive, whatever happens!
  • Homura : If I wanted magic, I'd have to become a magical girl, so I'd have to refuse the offer!
  • Mami : The power to fly!
  • Sayaka : Eternal life!
  • Kyouko : The power to make flowers bloom. That's all I really want to do.
  • QB : The magic to heal people!

Question 4 : Do you have a message for your fans?

  • Madoka : If all of you can find the message hidden in this work, I'll be very happy!
  • Homura : The answer is whatever has been left in your hearts and minds after you view this work.
  • Mami : I'd be very happy if I could meet all of you again.
  • Sayaka : Thank you very much for watching us magical girls.
  • Kyouko : It might change the way you see magical girls from now on, but I'd like you to work hard and believe that miracles and magic do exist!
  • QB : I'd be happy if everyone stopped bullying Kyubey so much *tear*, okay?
