Production Note

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.

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."

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

Bottom diagram:
マジョ逃げると 空間ごと移動する
わー

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。

Note: She was originally designed as the witch, then Albertine replaced Anja as the witch and Anja became the familiar.

Topmost left line:
＃05 Back alley.
Upper left:
Weak witch

There isn't a clearly-defined barrier.
The green area is the barrier.
Painted green, no shadows in the green area.
Becomes like a stuck-on 2D poster.
The boundary line moves and bounces around.
Middle:
Yellow balls bounce around only in the green area.
The witch continually chases them.
Middle left:
Witch:
A character reminiscent of a Showa-era poster.
Stuck on. No shadow. No sense of depth.
Her lower body turns into a car and an airplane and such.
Lower Left:
Zooms around in the green area and chases balls.
In the end, it's less like she's fleeing and more like
she's just chasing more balls and scooting off somewhere.
Right:
She changes the humans around her into new balls,
and eats the balls if she gets hungry.
No matter how many new balls she gets, though,
because she isn't that bright, she loses them immediately.
She chases after balls throughout her whole life.

緑の中を とびまわってボールを追う。
最後も逃げるというより ボールを追いかけて
そのままどこかへ行ってしまう。
Right:
彼女はまわりの人間を新しいボールへと変え、
おなかがすいたらボールを食べます。
どんなに新しいボールを手に入れても
彼女はあまり賢くないので すぐになくしてしまいます。
彼女は一生 ボールを追いかけて います。

Walpurgisnacht

Translation courtesy of Neuchadjinys

Sketch English Japanese
Topmost left line:
Rainbow light (Brocken spectre)
Upper left:
Basically the same as episode 1.
+Feels like there's bonfires here and there.
Episode 1 is "What on earth is going on here?"
Episode 10 is "It's like a ceremony"
Buildings are piled up
Lower left:
Bonfires here and there throughout downtown.
Tires, debris and dead bodies are piled up.
＊In episode 10, Walpurgis is still only partially visible.
The whole thing suddenly snaps into focus in episode 11.
Right, top to bottom:
She will turn all of fate's misfortune to nothing.
She will flood the earth with magic,
and take all of humankind into her play.
A moving stage construction.

If all of this is a play, then there is no such thing as sadness.
It may be a tragedy, but it's merely the way that kind of script was performed.

The play stops on Walpurgisnacht,
and the earth does not turn even once more.
The story will not change.
Tomorrow, and the day after, is the night of Walpurgis. 		Topmost left line:
虹色の光（ブロッケン現象）
Upper left:
基本は１話と同じ。
＋カガリ火のイメージを あちこちに。
１話は「得体の知れない何か」
１０話は「儀式っぽい」
ビルを積んである
Lower left:
街中のあちこちにも カガリ火。

車やガレキ死体を積んである
＊１０話ではワルプルギス まだ部分的にしか見えない。
全体にピント合ってハッキリ見えるのは１１話。
Right, top to bottom:
全ての運命の不幸を無くそうとする。
地上をマホウで埋め尽くし、
全人類を戯曲の中へ取り込もうとする。
動く舞台装置。

この全てが戯曲ならば悲しい事など何もない。
悲劇ではあるかもしれないけれど、ただ、そおいう脚本を演じただけ。

ワルプルギスの夜で芝居は止まって
もう地球は１周だって回転しない。
物語は転換しない。
明日も明後日も、ワルプルギスの夜。

#01_Beginning: Walpurgisnacht Image Cut

An upside-down city and a sky with a hole in it. Walpurgisnacht's halo over the top of an upside-down mountain.

Early Walpurgis (Initial Designs)

Spreads out like dandelion fluff being blown. (たんぽぽの わたげが 吹いたみたいに ひろがった)

When you go "Fuuu~" (blow), flames come out. (ふうーって やると 炎がでる。)

The form of the flames: A winding, wavy feel, like those seen in old Japanese paintings. (炎のフォルム、昔の日本画とかの、うねうね状のかんじ。)

Walpurgisnacht Concept Draft (ワルプルギス案)

Text: Kyahaha (キャハハハハハ)

Behavior: Spinning around innocently, as if running around a field. (野原をかけ回るような ムジャキにくるくるまわっている。)

Main Body (本体): (Produces gears. / は出す。)

  • Tip of the gear: Light (照明 ピカ)
  • When inverted, the rod part retracts (Normal state). (ひっくりかえると棒の部分ひっこむ（通常。）)

Design elements:

  • Claws (つめ)
  • Clock (とけい)
  • Western person's (noble's) hat. Hard. (西洋の人（貴族）のぼうし。カタイ。)


Walpurgisnacht's Procession

On both sides of Homura as she waits on the ground, the illusions of a parade appear first. (グラウンドで待つほむらの両サイドに先にパレードの幻が現れる)

(Elephants, marching bands, carriages, giant puppets/dolls, etc.) (（象や楽団や馬車、巨大人形など）))

While Walpurgis itself is a theatrical stage, the parade itself is a circus. (ワルプルギスは演劇舞台だけどパレード自体はサーカス。)

Upon arrival: Walpurgis's neck is being pulled along by the circus. (登場時ワルプルギス、首をサーカスに引っ張られてる。)

The net is severed by Homura's attack. (ほむらの攻撃で網は切れる。)

Episode #11 Walpurgisnacht

In addition to the stage on Walpurgis's body, illusions of magical girls are performing a play throughout the city. (ワルプルギスの体の舞台に加えて、街中で、マホウ少女たちの幻影が芝居をしている。)

↑ (Avant-garde dance) Semi-transparent, hologram-like. Faces and expressions cannot be seen. (↑（前衛ダンス）半透明、ホログラム的な。顔や表情は見えない。)

Walpurgis destroys the city, but the illusions of the girls are just doing things like dancing on top of the rubble. (ワルプルギスは街を壊すけど、 少女の幻はがれきの上で踊ったりしてるだけ。)

● Performance of the Dancing Magical Girls (● 踊るマホウ少女達の公演)

The appearances of the witches from episodes #01 to #10 during their days as magical girls. (＃01～10に出てくる魔女のマホウ少女時代の姿。)

(Designed so they can be identified by their main color and items)（メインカラーとアイテムで分かるような）

＋ Also including the appearances of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyouko. (マミやさやか、杏子の姿も。)

• Voices and Lines (・声やセリフ)

A few lines selected from around the scene where Margarete goes mad in Faust, Part One ("Prison"). (ファウスト 第一部「牢獄」での、発狂したマルガレーテのセリフらへんからいくつか。)

★ In German. (★ドイツ語で。)

Example) Song: 例) 歌

My cruel mother, (わたしのひどい母さんが、)

she killed me. (わたしを殺してしまったの。)

And my wicked father, (そして悪者の父さんが、)

he ate me. (わたしを食べてしまったの。)

My little sister, (わたしの小さな妹さんが、)

gathered up my bones, (わたしの骨を拾い上げ、)

and buried them in a cold grave. (冷たいお墓に埋めました。)

I became a beautiful bird, (わたしはきれいな鳥になり、)

and flew far away. (遠くへ飛んで行くのです。)

Walpurgisnacht (Night of Walpurgis) Settings

★ A massive entity that is somehow incomprehensible. (★ なんだかよくわからない巨大なもの)

  • Stage
  • Gears
  • Gears / Retro-style machinery

The stage apparatus itself is the witch.

Stage dialogue: rather than the entity itself speaking... (舞台セリフ、本人がしゃべっているというより)

↑ It plays out from the stage speakers. → When Walpurgis takes damage, the audio quality of the dialogue speakers distorts and gets mixed with static/noise. (↑ 舞台のスピーカーから流れる → ワルプルギスがダメージをうけるとセリフのスピーカーに音質がゆがみ雑音がまじる。)

  • The actors are other magical girls (large numbers). They have no faces, but figures like Sayaka and others are among them. (・役者は他のマホウショージョ達（多数）

顔はない、さやか等の姿も。)

  • She moves around while putting on a performance: The performance is more important to her than attacking enemies. If she loses sight of her target, she begins moving toward densely populated areas. (The city is destroyed just by her movement.) (〇 公演しながら移動している。→ 敵への攻撃よりも公演が大事。相手を見失うと、人の多い所目指して移動開始。

（移動だけで街はこわれていく。))

  • Walpurgisnacht: All of the witches encountered up until now make an appearance. (・ワルプルギスの夜 今までのマジョが全員出てくる。)

Initial concept image of Walpurgis. Later, a music-box-like doll was attached to it upside down. However, the main body itself remains gears. (ワルプルギスの初期イメージ。後にオルゴールのような人形をとりつけ逆さまに。でも本体は歯車のままです。)

A giant fate / massive destiny. (巨大な運命)

Inside Box: Like a circular saw, a massive number of gears attack while spinning around it. (Normally, they rotate in a circle underneath Walpurgis, continuously grinding away at the ground.) (大量の歯車が周りを回転しながら攻撃してくる（普段はワルプルギスの下を円形に回転して地面を削り続けている))

Right of Box: The gear attack is carried over into the Mermaid Witch's (Sayaka's witch form) wheel attack. We applied the imagery of rotating/spinning objects to witches in general. (歯車攻撃は 人魚の魔女の車輪攻撃に引き継がれています。魔女全般には回転するもののイメージを当てはめました。)

Powerful Witch. Walpurgis of "Theatre" (ツヨイ マジョ「演劇」のワルプルギス)

"This world was entirely a lie. My life is nothing more than a play written by you. Please, prove it." (「この世界は すべて嘘でした。私の人生は あなたの書いた戯曲にすぎません。それを、証明して下さい。」)

Faust is currently being performed. (On the upper stage) (「ファウスト」が上演中。（上部舞台にて）)

• The pact between Dr. Faust and the devil Mephisto (the beginning section) → leading into Walpurgisnacht. (・ファウスト博士と悪魔メフィストの契約（はじめのところ） → ワルプルギスの夜 へ)

Pointing to the sphere: (Ground) It is so massive that it looks like a spaceship.

Pointing to the gears: Stage apparatus. Gears. Massive.

Top of right sketch: The barrier is huge. The sky is visible. (結界でかい 空見えてる。)

Below right sketch: Buildings and the ground twist and warp around the perimeter like a fence.

At this stage, rather than the final anime's canon explanation that "she is so strong she doesn't need a barrier," it was being designed under the interpretation that the barrier is simply so colossally massive that its boundaries are impossible to discern.

Magical girl posters/flyers designed to look like theatrical play bills are plastered all over the surrounding city.

Pages from Faust are fluttering through the air.

(6) A hysterically thrashing pair of legs in a cage. The chain it's tied to makes an annoying smashing sound.
(7) A witch who lived for a long time as a magical girl. She is weak, as she was no longer a girl when she became a witch (mid-20s to 30s?). The form she takes in her barrier is how she would've turned out in the future (around 40s). What she desires is life. Enjoys alcohol and books.
(8) The witch, post-explosion. Stuff drifting down around Homura: *Burning book pages *Sparkly bottle shards *Doll and bird parts *Witch blood

Oktavia von Seckendorff's Interior (Episode 9)

Basic silhouette (Almost invisible.) 基本シルエット（ほぼみえない。）

Like a poorly-received hologram, when it flickers/glitches ("za-za-za"), you can see the inside just a little bit. (映りのわるいホログラムみたいに、ザザザッとなってるときちょっとだけ中身がみえる)

A feeling of oozing/melting downwards in a continuous, scrolling motion. (下に 送りで どろどろしている かんじ。)

It’s not that she responds when Madoka speaks or calls out to her; she completely lacks any sense of self, and her inside is a gooey, pitch-black, hopeless mess. (まどかが語り呼びかけに応じるとかじゃなくて、完全に自我はなく、中身もどろどろのまっくろ、どうしようもないかんじ。)

Eyeballs are endlessly spilling out from where the eyes normally are. They are not tears. (通常目があるところからとめどなく目玉がこぼれおちてくる。涙ではない。)

Trivia

  • The Production Note, sometimes described as some variation of "Official Production Notes" is incorrectly cited as a source of false biographical information on the characters, such as birthdays, incorrect heights and blood types. There is no such information in the Production Note except for the height ranges provided in the height comparison chart.
