Interview with Atsuhiro Iwakami (from Animedia):
- Every words 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.

Interview with Gen Urobuchi (from Animage):
- 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."

If things went according to my plan, viewers will soon be captured by Kyuubey's cuteness and unfair suspicion against him will be no more. They should stop bringing up my past already! 、キュゥぇ、！ |

So here's my defendant's claims… 、── |
|---|---|
| Butch_Gen Original tweet |
About the "what's that healing-type scenario writer" in actuality, we had this idea of hiding scenario writer's name until the broadcast starts, the plan fell down since staff list was leaked back in early spring. But the director still want to surprise the viewers... 「？」──、。。サプライズ…… |
| Butch_Gen Original tweet |
So I thought it is bad if everyone can guess how the series will be because of me. As a troubleshooter, I tried to mislead everyone. But as you can see, it's ineffective. 、、、、。、。 |
