Puella Magi Madoka Magica Production Note are a set of 496 pages in two volumes that were first sold in a limited edition version at Comic Market 80 from August 12, 2011 to August 14 2011. It is currently on sale to the general public. SHAFT, collaborating with graphics designer Milky Isobe, compiled and edited 352 pages of production materials and 144 pages of art by Gekidan Inu Curry. The book set measures 268 x 195 x 47 millimeters (about 10.5 x 7.6 x 1.9 inches) and 1.629 kilograms (3.59 pounds).
Each set contains a B5-sized illustration sheet of Madoka by character designer Takahiro Kishida.
The limited first edition sold at Comic Market 80 also has:
This, along with other Madoka-related merchandise, was reportedly sold out at the Aniplex booth around 11:15 am on the first day of Comic Market. Additional merchandise was added for sale the last two days of Comic Market 80.
A sequel was released in late 2014 for The Rebellion Story titled "Rebellion Production Note."

Full scan page here Topmost left lines: Weak witch One-whole cheesecake Upper middle: "It's really a delicious cheesecake. My dying mother wanted to eat it. But, perhaps, I should have cured her disease instead. However, that surely wasn't appropriate." Right, top-to-bottom: A witch-space that became the basis for the witch of dessert from ep. 3 and the minion of the witch of scribbles from ep. 5. She became a magical girl for one-whole cheesecake, and after becoming a witch, clings to that cheesecake. The witch of dessert in the main series is the reverse of this; she obtained "one single cheesecake" in strict accordance with her wish. After turning into a witch, the only thing her magic cannot make is cheese, and she became a very strong witch. Left diagram: It feels as if the scrambled-street parts keep having yellow paint dumped on them. Fork A single cheesecake floats in the air. The weird-looking witch stands atop it. Middle, with diagrams: Light source: Dim yellow light from the center They leer inward from under cover. Minions: Mouse-looking things that scurry around underfoot (small) Bottom diagram: When the witch escapes, its space moves with it. Aaa-h Spwohn After being caught up in it, the people who were in the previously-scrambled streets pop out into the normal streets. Bottom Right: Upon the witch's death Crushed into gooey-looking cheese There's a small, high, mouse-like 'kiii-' or 'chiii-' noise. |
Topmost left lines: ヨワイマジョ ワンホール・チーズケーキ Upper middle: 「とてもおいしいチーズケーキ。 死にかけのお母さんが食べたがっていたの。 でも、もしかすると、お母さんの病気でも 治してあげたらよかったカスラ。 けれど、きっとそれはそおいうことでもないのダワ。」 Right, top-to-bottom: 3話お菓子の魔女と 5話落書きの魔女の使い魔の 元になった魔女空間です。 ワンホールのチーズケーキで 魔法少女になり、 魔女化した後もチーズケーキに しがみついています。 本編お菓子の魔女は これとは逆に、 厳密にその願い通り「ひとつきりのチーズケーキ」 を手に入れ、魔女化した後も チーズだけは魔法を使って出すことが出来なくなり とても強い魔女になりました。 Left diagram: ゴチャゴチャ街 部分に 黄色いペンキを ぶっかけまくってるカンジ フォーク チーズケーキが ひとつ浮いてて。 その上に 変なマジョがのってる Middle, with diagrams: 光源 ぼんやり中心部から黄色ライト 物陰から コソコソ 見てるだけ 手下 ねずみ みたいなの足元 チョロチョロしてる ・小さき Bottom diagram: マジョ逃げると 空間ごと移動する わー スポン 中にいた人は 一度ゴチャゴチャ街へ まきこまれてから スポンと普通の街へ Bottom Right: マジョ死ぬとき べちゃとチーズみたいにつぶれる 「キー」とか「チー」とか 小さくカン高いネズミみたいな音。 |
