Director: Shinbo Akiyuki

It has been a while since I worked on an original series. It really makes me think possibility is unknown as the work progress; maybe with this, we will be able to make a new “Magical Girl” that never existed before. Challenge it together with all involved staff, I look forward to what will come out of it.

Series Composition: Urobuchi Gen (Nitroplus)

I have been entrusted with a big duty that is series composition and script for all episodes, even if having director Shinbo Akiyuki and Aoki Ume-sensei as teammates put a lot of pressure on me, I will do my best to deliver a heart-warming happy story to viewers!

Character Draft: Aoki Ume

I have been excited reading Urobuchi-san’s script and Shaft’s amazing image board, is it really okay to have my ingredient added into this…? It has been fun and grateful. This dish is gonna have unique taste…! Please look forward to it. ♪

Pre Broad-Cast Character Descriptions

Timeframe, likely before broadcast, not sure of source. Source TBD by scans. Translation by symbv from evageeks.

This is a new character and a Mahou Shoujo. She is of amoral type and bases her actions on own gain (e.g. grief seed) more than any higher purpose.

The character's name is Sakura Kyouko and will be voiced by Asumi Kana -- Yuno in Hidamari Sketch and Makoto in Kampfer.

Sayaka will become a Mahou Shoujo first. She will use her wish to help Kyousuke. Urobuchi said given she is a person of action and a believer of solving problem by herself, it is a natural choice for her.

Urobuchi also said that Homura would base her actions on NOT TO LET Madoka become Mahou Shoujo. Urobuchi said that Homura wanted to resolve everything without pulling in Madoka, but she would not explain why she was so obsessed with that.
