File talk:Sayaka eyepatch warrior chibi.jpg

Lord of the Kakapos:

That eyepatch makes Sayaka look like a badass mercenary or something... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 08:15, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Interesting that Sayaka is dressed for team RED instead of BLU. I'm not saying she's playing for the other team or anything, but chances are Kyouko would be on BLU trying to get into Sayaka's secret base.[[User:KM|KM]] 10:38, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
:Either that, or you're actually looking at Kyouko here. GENTLEMEN. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 13:02, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
::Now I have this image of Kyouko and the RED Heavy sitting on two sides of a bench, eating the food that they exchanged, going OM NOM NOM NOM. - [[User:Lord of the Kakapos|Lord of the Kakapos]] 17:49, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Community:Meikyu-bey (Maze) in the world

Lord of the Kakapos:

''[http://www.desunoya.sakura.ne.jp/qb Meikyu-bey (Maze) in the world]'' (世界中の迷宮べぇ) is a fanmade JRPG based on the anime. We can control 5 of the 14 available magical girls (5 from the anime, and 9 without names). The goal in this game is defeating all the witches in a scenario similar to a maze, leveling up our characters without Homura getting out of MP (magical points).

A special feature of this game is, if the situation is in danger (running out of MP, for example), we can travel in time, reseting to level 1 of all magical girls except Homura, and start again the game, but with Homura stronger than before.

== Gameplay ==
The game starts in the streets where various options are shown. The first one is where characters can be selected, you click them once and then select the space of the small square below where the magical girl is going to be (Maximum of 5 girls.) The second option is to save the game, it will not save automatically, so make sure you come back from the maze once in a while to save. The next option is to Reset the timeline, it's recommendable to just click it when you are almost out of MP or when various of your characters have died. When we're ready, we enter on the maze selecting the last option and we have to go forward the maze and fight the enemies (the familiars and witches) around the place. When we touch a familiar or a witch, a fight will start.

The main options we can do with every character in a fight are the following: attack (obviously, do damage to the enemy, it reduces 1 mp per use), magic (open a list of special abilites which the character can make, all of them consume the number of MP it has besose.), defense (reduce the enemy damage it'll do to you), and escape from the fight (doesn't work for witches). When we finish a fight, all the characters will receive some experience points depending of the enemy and HP will be restored (but not MP). If a character ran out of HP during the fight, they will not receive experience points after.

Every character has a number of HP (health points) and MP (magic points). When the HP reaches to zero, the character won't do anything until someone revives him or until the fight is over and a certain number of MP will be decreased in order to revive the character. When the MP reaches to zero, the character will definitely die and turn into a witch (we can fight against it or avoid it in the maze).

The game can be ended by many ways:
*The HP of all characters reaches to zero in a fight.
*The MP of all characters reaches to zero in a fight.
*Homura's MP reaches to zero.

Lord of the Kakapos: /* Post-season */ Hey, I posted redundant shit. Mistitled even.

[[File:Madoka Thread Macro 2.jpg|thumb|300px|right]]
{{Note|For terms commonly used within threads, see '''[[Thread Glossary]]'''.|margin-right:327px}}

This page links to all the Madoka-related threads on /a/ that have been archived on easymodo.net (formerly archived on green-oval.net). You will find here the general threads ("Madoka Threads"), as well as humoristic, informative or just non-general threads that have a relation with the Puella Magi franchise.

Please note that the image packs have moved and are now in their own section of the [[Fanworks]] page.

== Pre-season Threads ==
These threads should be added for the sake of completeness, even though no serious discussion could have happened at the time.
Please add more as they are dug out of the archive.

== Non-general threads ==

These are threads somehow related to Madoka, but that are not part of the general threads chain.

== Starting a new thread ==
[[File:Magia Anime Cover.jpg|thumb|The image used to find threads]]
{{Note|In the event two or more threads are created simultaneously, please only use ''the first one whose link was posted in the old thread''. This way, it should be easier to follow the threads and archive them.|margin-right:207px;}}
The original post of a new thread should contain:
;A link to the previous thread
:For easier navigation between threads, useful at the beginning of the new one
;A link to the wiki
:Because people are bound to ask for it anyway
;A mention of the IRC channel #madoka @ irc.rizon.net
:Having some real-time communication doesn't hurt.
;On Thursday
:Add some information about the broadcast (ETA, channel, livestreams, ... for example)
;Put "Madoka Thread" in the subject line
:So that haters can filter us
;A madoka-related image
:But not necessarily a 'madoka thread' image macro
;Final task
:Return to the previous thread and link to the new one to prevent excess threads from being created. Or even better: warn people in the previous thread beforehand so that thay don't create one themselves.

Aside from that, when the old thread dies, the following image should be posted, so that the thread can be found more easily (to find a Madoka thread, post the fish image and go where the error links you)

[[File:Madoka Thread Macro 2.jpg|thumb|300px|right]]
{{Note|For terms commonly used within threads, see '''[[Thread Glossary]]'''.|margin-right:327px}}

This page links to all the Madoka-related threads on /a/ that have been archived on easymodo.net (formerly archived on green-oval.net). You will find here the general threads ("Madoka Threads"), as well as humoristic, informative or just non-general threads that have a relation with the Puella Magi franchise.

Please note that the image packs have moved and are now in their own section of the [[Fanworks]] page.

== Pre-season Threads ==
These threads should be added for the sake of completeness, even though no serious discussion could have happened at the time.
Please add more as they are dug out of the archive.

*[http://archive.easymodo.net/a/thread/42614287 Best anime?]

== Non-general threads ==
[[File:Cumulative chart of Madoka threads.png|thumb|300px]]
These are threads somehow related to Madoka, but that are not part of the general threads chain.

<td>富・ゲーム化で声をかけたのはこちらから、半年程前の事

土・まどかの二話が終わった後ぐらいの事

富・土居氏と飲みながら面白いと話していたが、三話を見た時点でゲーム企画を考え始めた

土・第四話が終わった後ぐらいに徳島のマチアソビで富澤氏と再会した

富・ゲームの企画を持ちかけたらそれを待っていたと言われた

土・そういう話が来るのではないかと予想していた。富澤氏はGEやなのは等のようにキャラ主体のゲームを丁寧に作っている印象があり、ゲーム化するなら是非富澤氏にと</td>
<td>T - About adapting into game, we raised the idea around half a year ago.

D - It was around the time after Ep.2 of Madoka.

T - When I had a drink with Mr Doi we talked about it and thought it would be interesting. After I saw Ep.3 I started to give serious thought about a game project.

D - Around the time after Ep.4 I met Mr Tomizawa at the Machi Asobi event in Tokushima
''[symbv: [http://www.machiasobi.com/poster2011/poster.html Machi Asobi] is the biggest anime event in Shikoku island, held in Tokushima city three times a year.]''

T - When I brought up the game project I was told that he had been expecting it.

D - I predicted that such ideas may come along. I have the impression that Mr Tomizawa made high quality character-based games like GE or Nanoha. I thought if it was to turn into game it got to be done by Mr Tomizawa.</td>

<tr>
<td>富・PSPを選んだのはPSPでしか作っていないから、ではなくまどかを見ている人がプレイするゲーム機を考えて</td>
<td>T - The reason why we chose PSP was not because it could only be done in PSP but because we thought what game console is used by the people who watched Madoka.</td>

<td>富・ストーリーは、原作をベースに再構築する物になる予定。アニメの視点だけでなく、各キャラの視点やアニメで描かれなかった側面も掘り下げたい</td>

<td>富・ダンジョンはターン毎に移動して敵と交互に行動するローグ形式の物になる。詳細はまだ公開できないが、魔法少女を切り替えて行動しつつ敵に囲まれないように戦っていく戦略性の高い戦闘が楽しめると思う

土・マミは銃で遠距離から、さやかの剣で接近戦など。必殺技はティロ・フィナーレ以外にもオリジナルの物を考えている

富・ソウルジェムやグリーフシードといったアイテムもゲームに組み込んでいる</td>
<td>T - In Dungeon part, it is a Roguelike game in which the characters and the enemy each take turn to move. Although I cannot disclose the details, I can say that one can enjoy the combat rich in tactics where he can switch between the mahou shoujo and maneuver them so that they are not encircled by the enemies.

D - Mami can use guns for long distance and Sayaka's sword can go for the close combat etc. We also thought about original finishing moves besides Tiro Finale.

T - Items like Soul Gems or Grief Seeds are all part of the game.</td>

土・ほむほむというのはユーザー間での愛称の一つだが、富澤氏の熱意で初めて公式にほむほむとついた商品が実現した</td>
<td>T - The "HomuHomu Handkerchief" in the Limited Edition has the identical design as the one used in the anime scene where Homura folded out a handkerchief and sat on it. I really hope that people can share the feeling of Homura sitting on a handkerchief.

D - HomuHomu is one of the nicknames used between fans. Because of the enthusiasm of Mr Tomizawa, we managed to produce one official merchandise with the name of HomuHomu. ''[symbv: Reminder of what that [[:Media:Moemura post-golf scene.jpg|scene]] is like in episode 10.]''</td>

<td>富・より良い物にするべく開発スタッフ一丸となって取り組んで行く

土・企画当初からゲーム化に関わりたいと思いつつなかなか実現できなかったが、強力なスタッフの元でバンダイナムコゲームスとタッグが組めるとあって非常に喜ばしい。是非キュゥべえと契約して魔法少女になり限定版を買って欲しい</td>
<td>T - As we all wanted to make it a really good product all the staff are united and worked together to create this game.

D - At the beginning of the project I thought a lot about how the game adaptation should work out but nothing came to fruition. I was so glad that I could team up with the strong staff of Bandai Namco Games. I hope people will contract with Kyubey and become a Mahou Shoujo and buy the Limited Edition.</td>

Madoka Magica Drama CD 3: Farewell Story

2011-09-04T12:53:39Z

Lord of the Kakapos:

<blockquote>''"It’s not as if I wished for us to become rich or anything like that, but rather, I wished for people to start to listening to my father. I mean, it’s just so frustrating! They would just ignore him and look down on him."'' ~ Kyoko Sakura.</blockquote>

The Drama CD came with the "Puella Magi Madoka Magica DVD volume 5. The official title for this Drama CD is ''"Farewell Story".''
[[File:Madoka BD 5 01.jpg|right|250px]]
==Summary==

The story takes place before the events in the anime. This is the story of how Kyoko met Mami for the first time, how she became a proficient fighter, and what lead to Kyoko's disillusionment with her naive ideals. We are also introduced to Kyoko's happy family before their tragic demise.

==Observation==
*Madoka and Sayaka have a brief conversation with Kyoko for the first time, but their dialogue is never face to face so they are strangers to each other until their formal meeting in [[Episode 5]].
*Kyoko saves Madoka and Sayaka from a Witch's labyrinth. This is from a period of time when she still had a family and hadn't become selfish and cynical.
**The events take place before the beginning of [[Episode 1]], and seem to be taking place in the main timeline of the events from the anime, with a distracted Kyoko reminiscing her own past while Homura chatters her plan to defeat [[Walpurgis Night]].
***The Drama CD indicates that Madoka and Sayaka are in Class 1A, perhaps indicating they're first years (a possible indicator that the events are taking place approximately one year before the anime events, give or take).
***The timelines diverge on the day when Homura wakes up in the hospital, so events prior to that are unaffected by her resets.
****We do not know the exact date when Kyoko and Mami met for the first time (but it is suggest it was the year before). The day when Homura wakes up from the hospital is March 16, if the events are taking place prior to that date then they wouldn't be affected by the resets. The likelihood that the events in the Drama CD are taking place after March 16 is small and unlikely.
***If the events in the Drama CD are taking place prior to the anime series, then this could be considered to be a "short prequel".
****''"Puella Magi Kyoko/Mami Magica"'' would make an awesome OVA.
*Kyoko narrates that she had been a Puella Magi for a year before she met Mami.
**This is Kyoko's first time to [[Mitakihara Town]].
***Apparently, Kyoko is from [[Kasamino City]].
**Mami saved Kyoko's life from a witch whom could also split itself into decoy images/illusions.
***That Witch was also Kyoko's first target since she became a Puella Magi, apparently she fought it and it got away.
****Considering a year has passed since then, she was probably a lousy Puella Magi.
*Mami takes Kyoko under her wing as her 'Senpai' to teach her how to become a proficient fighter.
**Mami "convinces" Kyoko to name her final attack, ''"Rosso Fantasma,"'' (Red Illusion/Phantom). This matches Kyoko's color scheme as well as Mami's choice of Italian attack names. Kyoko finds Mami's naming to be amusing (and embarrassing).
***This isn't the only time Kyoko laughs at Mami's attacks naming habit. Kyoko ridicules Mami's ''"Tiro Finale"'' in the Drama CD [[Drama CD 2|''"Sunny Day Life"'']]
*Apparently, Mami's peach pie is amazing. Kyoko swears to it.
**In the [[Drama CD 2|Drama CD ''"Sunny Day Life"'']], the only reason Kyoko comes to Mami's apartment is because she is serving cake.
***''Oh Mami, seducing young inexperience girls with cake.''
*Mami was Kyoko's first friend she ever brought home.
*After the death of Kyoko's family, Kyoko no longer has her illusory powers. Kyoko becomes disillusioned and loses her ideals, resulting in an argument with Mami over familiars. She wants to leave because they no longer share the same values, but Mami tries to stop her and they end up in a battle. Kyoko wins leaving the defeated Mami in tears, crying over being all alone once more.
**Kyoko's secondary power is only heard in this drama CD, it was originally described in a [[Megami_Magazine_2011-07#Kyoko.27s_Power|Megami interview]] as something that didn't make it into the anime: ''Because she got her wish of "getting people to listen" while in fact it was something like charming or hallucination, she got the magic power related to those things. However, because she lost her family, she totally negated those power with her subconscious mind. As a result, she fought only with the magic power she learnt later.''
*Kyoko is forever alone, again. Dammit, Urobuchi.
*In the final scene, Homura asks for Kyoko's help in defeating Walpurgisnacht, similar to the anime.
**It is difficult to tell if this scene is taking place during Timeline 5 but it is likely that it is.
*The shrieking of Witches in this Drama CD is disturbing once you know the truth about Witches.

==Trivia==
*Kyoko's younger sister gets an official name: Momo. This implies that her actual name may be Momoko Sakura (佐倉桃子).
**Momo likes fried shrimp. ''hhhnnnnng''
*We finally get to hear the voices of Kyoko's family; her father, her mother, and her little sister.
**Kyoko's father is voiced by [insert name]; Kyoko's mother is voiced by [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=542 Kikuko Inoue](?); and Kyoko's little sister, Momo, is voiced by [insert name].
**You also get hear the noose that Kyoko's father uses to hung himself [http://nagumo19.livejournal.com/51552.html creaking from his weight.]
***To be fair, this Drama CD is less bloody and milder when it comes to what happened to the rest of the Sakura family, the anime series was much more graphic and violent.
****Unless someone is familiar with [[Episode 7]], the Drama CD never specifies or goes into details to what happened to her mother and sister.
*Kyoko's younger sister refers to herself in the third person, much like [[Yuma Chitose]].
* Kyoko is from [[Kasamino City|Kasamino]], a neighboring city of [[Mitakihara Town|Mitakihara]].
* Mami was Kyoko's senpai to train her into a better Puella Magi, apparently Kyoko idolized her as the ideal Mahou Shoujo, much like [[Sayaka Miki]] idolized Mami after her death.

==Speculation==
*The first witch to appear in the story may be a reference to the [[wikipedia:Minotaur|"Minotaur"]] in ancient Greek mythology. Some fans speculate that the girl who turned into this witch is an illegitimate daughter.
**The Minotaur is also located within a labyrinth, it was constructed by Daedalus to hold the creature inside.
***Coincidentally in the Greek mythology, [[wikipedia:Theseus#Theseus_and_the_Minotaur|Theseus]] was able to defeat the Minotaur with the help of the princess of Crete and a ball of twine (trivia: the word ''[http://www.thefreedictionary.com/clew "clew"]'' means a ball of yarn, hence the origin of the word "clue"). In the Drama CD, Kyoko was able to defeat the witch with the help of Mami (a Puella Magi with the power of ribbons) and her advice (or a clue, per say) to strike the real witch's body; all of this took place inside a labyrinth. The similarities, of course, are purely coincidental.
****This is perhaps overreaching but: after Theseus defeated the minotaur he set sail back home with his ''*ahem*'' bride to be; but before he could reach home his father, [[wikipedia:Aegeus#Theseus_and_Minotaur|Aegeus]], committed suicide believing his son was dead/failed.
**The witch's axe could be a reference to the Minoan [[wikipedia:Labrys|Labrys]], it is a symmetrical doubleheaded axe originally from Crete, it is one of the oldest symbols of Greek civilization. According to archaeological finds on Crete this double-axe was used specifically by Minoan priestesses for ceremonial uses and it was considered to be one the holiest symbols in Minoan religion. Unlike the Near East, this axe is never held by a male divinity, only by female divinities and her priestesses. Some suggest that the shape of the Labrys is reminiscent of a butterfly rather than an axe, an interpretation of the ''mother goddess'' symbol. Other suspect that the two curved edges of the axe are indicating the waxing and waning phases on either side of a full moon.
***The word labyrinthos (Mycenaean daburinthos) is probably connected with the word labrys. In the Linear B (Mycenean Greek) script a symbol similar to a double-axe represents the phonetic sign a. In the context of the Classical Greek myth of Theseus, the labyrinth of Greek mythology is frequently associated with the Minoan palace of Knossos and has a long tradition of use that extends before any written records explain the traditions.
**The bull is considered to be a [[wikipedia:Bull_(mythology)|sacred animal]] in many myths and [[wikipedia:Cattle_in_religion|religious beliefs]].
***Incidentally, in Mesopotamian culture a bull's horn is connected to the crescent moon.
***The bull is often associated with fertility rituals and beliefs.
***To the Egyptians, the constellation Taurus was a sacred bull that was associated with the renewal of life in spring.
*Because the Drama CD also came with a [[And I'm Home|duet character song]] of Kyoko and Sayaka (not to mention the Blu-ray version of [[Episode 9]]), yuri fans are wondering if this is a blatant attempt at a love triangle.

''[Editor's note (EN): The quality of the picture caused the translator problems, which is why there's some gaps in the translations and notes.]''

'''Top frame''': 
After a full session of recording, the sounds of familiars and Walpurgis Nacht used in the fight scenes were also recorded. 
HA HA HA HA HA HA 
The laughing sounds from the female seiyuu were taken.

'''Middle frame''': 
Tatsuya~~!!!
Mami-sa~~n!!?
* picture in imagination
And then Walpurgis is...no kidding... Kaori Mizubashi-san!! ''[EN: Mami's seiyuu]'' 
In the anime, the voice was modified so I did not notice. I was shocked to know this!
Ahahahahahahah.... 

'''Bottom Right''': 
During the break at the middle Yuuki-san and Kato-san came to talk to me! It was a valuable experience. ''[EN: seiyuu for Madoka and Kyubey]'' 
* I am not going to talk about this picture (lol) 
''(TN: I cannot read the text next to eyeglasses girl)'' 
They read the manga Madoka which I finished and presented only today. Thank you so much!

'''Bottom Middle''': 
QB (with director Shinbo written on it) - Kyubey from anime, cool? 
Beat ??? Walpurgis 
- It is the best ! 
During the break, I felt that the seiyuu and the staff created a gentle mood around the recording studio....

'''Bottom Left''': 
''(TN: not entirely legible but it is about being able to visit the after-recording session and give thanks to everyone)''

'''Very bottom''': 
Finally, my thanks to the seiyuu, production staff, editors!!

=== ** Temporary title is “Mahou Shoujo Apocalypse” ** ===
[[File:Guidebook Scan 01.jpg|thumb]]''[EN: Ume Aoki is original character designer and Atsuhiro Iwagami is the main producer]

'''Aoki''' – Later when I watched it again from ep.1, I got the impression that the heroine kept changing from one to one. From ep.4 it is the story about Sayaka and Kyouko, and when it is near the last part Homura starts to get more noticeable. At the end Madoka becomes the proper protagonist.

'''Iwagami''' – About the characters, to be honest at the time when I read the screenplay I could not read this far. Indeed it became like an omnibus where there is Mami arc, Sayaka arc, Kyouko arc etc. In one sense it is like Bakemonogatari in which the composition is to showcase the appeal of each heroine by turn, and then I thought “I see, so it is what it has become.”

'''Interviewer''' – By the way, how about making the protagonist Madoka and other girls junior high students?

'''Iwagami''' – Primary school student, if in 3D form, will give the impression of child actor, not idol. However, if it is junior high student, people will recognize her as an idol, and I thought it may get easier to get people to watch it. So even before Urobuchi-san finished writing the plot, [I gave ?] the condition of “make [???] mahou shoujo of junior high students..... [more text on the next page]

Kazumi Magica Witches

2011-09-04T12:49:02Z

Lord of the Kakapos:

{{spoilers|media=kazumi}}
The witches of [[Kazumi Magica]]. They come in two varieties: witches that are the same as the one that appear in the anime, and "pseudo-witches", which as the name implies are imitation witches.

==Pseudo-Witches==
"Pseudo-witches" are a type of witch unique to the Kazumi Magica manga. They are actually human women that are implanted with an imitation [[Grief Seed]] called an "Evil Nut". When they are defeated, the Evil Nut separates from the woman, much like when a witch drops a Grief Seed. Unlike normal witches, the women return to normal after they are defeated. They appear to lose their memory of the events that occurred while they are under the Evil Nut's influence, similar to those affected by a [[Witch's Kiss]].

===Preying Mantis Witch===
__NOTOC__
This is an unnamed witch appearing in [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|chapter 1]] of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica.

|episodes = [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|Kazumi chapter 1]]
|jatext_extra_styles = extra styling for japanese text
|header_extra_styles = extra styling for header label
}}

A pseudo-witch that Yuuri created from a policewoman who wanted to be successful in her male-dominated job. She blackmailed [[Souichirou Tachibana]] into making a bomb threat at a mall, but was foiled when Kazumi defused it via magic. She later attempted to kill Kazumi, but was defeated by her instead.

===Cosmetics Witch===

A pseudo-witch that Yuuri created from a cosmetics saleswoman who protested the sale and use of cheap, unhealthy cosmetics. She attempted to attack a ganguro concert, but was defeated by Kazumi, Umika and Kaoru.

==Anime-style Witches==
==="Prologue"===

"Prologue" is a witch appearing in [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|chapter 3]] of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica.

{{Card
|name = "Prologue"(?)
|runes = PROLOGUE
|japanese_desc =
|english_desc =
|image = File:Card Kazumi Witch 3.png
|type = Unknown (Bookmobile witch?)
|episodes = [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|Kazumi chapter 3]]

}}

===Minions===
{{Card

|runes = ?????
|image =
|japanese_desc = 魔女の手下。しおり人間。
|english_desc = The witch's minion. Bookmark humans.
|type = The witch's minion
|episodes = [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|Kazumi chapter 3]]
}}

A witch fought by the Pleiades Saints in chapter 3. It captured Umika and Kaoru. The other five Saints tracked it down after discovering that its barrier moved around on the same schedule as the Asunaro Library's bookmobile. Kazumi killed it with a precision strike from outside the barrier after the other Saints signalled her.

===Trivia and Speculation===

* This witch was designed as a drawing found in children's picture books, according to Takashi Tensugi.
* "Prologue" may not be the witch's real name - [[File_talk:Callsign_%27Prologue%27.jpg|the translation of the design notes]] refer to the Chapter 3 witch as "Callsign 'Prologue'", suggesting Prologue may be a design nickname.

===Airi's Witch Form===

This is an unnamed witch appearing in [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|chapter 5 and 6]] of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica.

{{Card
|name = Unknown
|runes =
|japanese_desc =

|episodes = [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|Kazumi chapter 5-6]]
|jatext_extra_styles = extra styling for japanese text
|header_extra_styles = extra styling for header label
}}

[[Yuuri]]/[[Airi]]'s witch form resembles a giant heart, which [[Yuri_undertones| may have certain implications]]. The rings on Yuuri's weaponry also appear on the witch.

When Kazumi attempts to turn Yuuri back to a human, it causes Yuuri's body to rise out from the witch, while still being connected to it. She appears to have almost no sense of self left, continuously repeating the last spell she used on Kazumi. Notably, her speech bubbles use the [[Deciphering_the_runes| runic language]].

===Yuuri Asuka's Witch Form===

This is an unnamed witch appearing in [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|chapter 5]] of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica.

{{Card

|jatext_extra_styles = extra styling for japanese text
|header_extra_styles = extra styling for header label
}}

[[Yuuri Asuka]]'s witch form resembles a giant hypodermic needle, similar to her weapon as a Puella Magi. Giant forks come out of her body, which probably refers to either Yuuri's cooking talents or transforming into a witch during a cooking contest. The forks also contrast with the spoon amulet she carried, acting as a sort of evil counterpart; in fact, when the witch drops Yuuri's amulet, it possesses a dark fork in the handle in the opposite direction of the spoon (which then vanishes as the last part of Yuuri's witch form).

== Additional production books ==
I've been hearing of another couple of production books (not the [[Puella Magi Production Note|special edition production notes]] or the [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Official Guidebook "You Are Not Alone"|official guidebook]]) that compiles frame sketches from the production of the show. One was [http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d121991055 supposedly released at Comic Market 80], and another, something that I heard in passing (From a news article?), is due to be released near the end of this year. Do you have any idea what they are? - [[User:Lord of the Kakapos|Lord of the Kakapos]] 17:45, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
:I've seen the first one but I didn't add it since 1) I'm not sure if/when it will be sold outside of C80 and 2) the storyboard compilation is of several anime, not just Madoka. I'm not sure which you mean exactly by the second one...I would need more details. Do you mean this Otona Anima magazine supplement? http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/amiami/bok-4761.html It's a study that's generally on magical girl anime with many interviews. It's going to include posters from Minky Moto and Madoka.

[[File:Griefsyndrome.jpg|350px|thumb|right|]]
[[Image:Twilightfrontier.png | http://www.tasofro.net]]

[http://www.tasofro.net/mdk/ Grief Syndrome] is a doujin game by [http://www.tasofro.net Twilight Frontier] (known as Tasofro) which was released at Comiket 80 on August 13. It is a side-scrolling beat-em-up featuring the characters of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. 1 to 3 players can play with local (all gamepads/keyboards connected to the same computer) multiplayer.

==Frequently Asked Questions==
*Online multiplayer where?
The game doesn't support online play. Earlier Tasofro games have had online multiplayer, so there may be some hope of an update if the game is successful.
*Do I need an English translation?
No, many things are already in English and the game is playable with no knowledge of Japanese.
*Error: d3dx9_43.dll not found
Open the directx folder that comes with the installer and run DXSETUP.exe or download the dll and place it into game folder next to griefsyndrome.exe
*It still won't run.
Try setting your system locale to JAP in the Region and Language Settings, then restart.
*How do you save the game?
The game saves your lap and some statistics when you defeat Walpurgis Night. You can't save in the middle of a run or keep levels unlocked between runs.
*How do you use full screen?
Alt+Enter. You can use the configuration program to enable the full screen feature.
*The kyubey icon/configuration program won't open even though the game is not running
Set the compatibility mode to NT 4.0 and running the program as Administrator

==Gameplay==

Players begin a new game in Gertrud's level. They must fight through each level in sequence, defeating Gertrud, Charlotte, Elly, Elsa Maria, and Walpurgis Night. A bonus Oktavia level is unlocked if Sayaka dies. Magical girls cannot be resurrected when they run out of soul limit, except by restarting the game from the beginning and discarding unsaved progress.

Magical girls have health bars and soul limit counters. Permanent death occurs when the soul limit reaches zero. The health bar is recharged by consuming soul limit after taking damage. When the health bar becomes empty or the girl falls down a deadly pit, 2000 soul limit points are consumed to construct a new body for her. Using special abilities turns part of the health bar blue. No soul limit is lost if it recharges while still blue, but taking any damage during this period will turn the blue area into additional damage.

Defeating enemies causes the girls to level up, increasing their damage output and survivability. The maximum level is 99. The soul limit is fully recharged after defeating a witch.

Defeating Walpurgis Night completes a lap. One of many ending screens is displayed depending on which girls remain alive, and your game is saved. You can start a new game from the next lap. The game's difficulty increases as the lap number increases, but the girls will also level up more quickly. Unlike the girls, the bosses can have levels over 99. On the higher laps, their levels will even be in the thousands, if not tens of thousands.

The highest lap known to be unlocked so far is 458330. Lap numbers are unlocked based on the square of the lap beaten plus one, so unlocking 6401 requires beating 80: 
lap 1^2+1=2: 
lap 2^2+1=5: 
lap 5^2+1=26: 
lap 26^2+1=677: 
lap 51^2+1=2602: 
lap 70^2+1=4901: 
lap 80^2+1=6401: 
lap 677^2+1=458330: 

==Controls==
*Left, Right: Move sideways
*Up, Down: Aim or use alternate attacks in combination with the Z and X keys
*Z: Quick/Weak attack
*X: Strong attack
*A: Special Ability
*C: Jump. Hold down and press C while standing on platforms to drop through.
*Q: Menu

Some players use a number pad mapping terminology to name moves. For example, "8Z x2 j.6X" The first number is a position on the number pad: 8=up, 6=right, 2=down, 5=neutral, corresponding to how a joystick would work. The letter after it is the default key for that ability. x followed by a number means repeat it that many times. "j." means to do it while jumping.

==Characters==

===Madoka===
[[File:Gsmadokaidle.gif|right]]

Madoka is a ranged attacker who relies on charging up abilities. She can use cheap tactics to rain destruction on enemies without allowing them any opportunity to fight back, and possesses a huge soul limit, but she is vulnerable to being interrupted while charging attacks, has a limited set of abilities, and her main attacks require precise aiming.

Status Base:
*Vitality: 92
*Power: 10
*Special Cost: 45
*Soul limit: 28875
*SL lost in revive: 9,6%

Growth Per level
*Vitality: +4
*Power: +1
*Soul limit: +128

Abilities:
*Strong Attack: Fire a piercing arrow horizontally. Holding the key down causes Madoka to charge up for more power. Charged version has unlimited piercing and will knockback into a wallbounce.
*Quick Attack: Fire a barrage of arrows. Holding the key down increases the number of arrows fired. Holding up or down while starting the attack causes Madoka to aim upwards or downwards. Pushes back both large and small enemies.
*Special: Arrows rain from the sky, damaging all enemies near Madoka. The shower will knock down enemies.
*Charging: While charging up attacks, Madoka can float in the air. She can do this indefinitely, staying out of an enemy's reach.
*Idle: Madoka looks super cute.

Review/Tips:
Madoka has the most SL out of the characters, both starting and growth rate. Don't take her charging shots for granted, they are very effective in stunning/controlling mobs of enemies, especially with their knockback. All her moves essentially put the enemies in a stun state and do quick and rapid damage. To get out of a crowded situation you can fire her special as a canopy of safety, while it rains death on the enemy you are being protected at the same time. Not bad eh? When she fires her bow in midair, it creates a magical platform where she is suspended for a few seconds. Madoka can store a charge of the quick attack by jumping after charging it, or by fully charging a strong attack. If a quick attack is used next, it will start charging from level 2. Therefore, alternating between strong and quick attacks maximizes damage.

===Homura===
[[File:Gshomuidle.gif|right]]

Homura is a ranged attacker who uses combinations of explosives and gunfire to attack. She's deadly and versatile, but has a very low soul limit and requires tactical play to set up combos.

Status Base:
*Vitality: 88
*Power: 10
*Special Cost: 50
*Soul limit: 17460
*SL lost in revive: 16,5%

Growth Per level
*Vitality: +4
*Power: +1
*Soul limit: +102

Abilities:
*Quick Attack: Fire a rather weak handgun. Can be fired 7 times. Bullets will disappear before reaching full screen.
*Standing Strong Attack: M249 Machine gun. If used midair, the gun will change to a Howa Type 59 but do the same damage. Will slow your fall in mid-air. Bullets do not disappear. Slightly pushes Homura back.
*Left/Right Strong Attack: AT-4. May be jump-canceled anytime after the projectile is fired. May miss close grounded enemies.
*Down Strong Attack: Jump and drop a grenade. Pushes Homura back a little. Holding left or right will throw the bomb farther.
*Up Strong Attack: Mortar. May be jump-canceled any time after the mortar appears, even before it is fired, making this move effective for setting up high-damage combos.
*Up Strong Attack(mid-air): Throws a pipe bomb upwards. Moves Homura forward slightly. Holding left or right will throw the bomb farther.
*Special: Freeze time for a few seconds.
*Idle: The wind be blowing back and forward a lot.

Review/Tips:
Homura is a great character to have for multiplayer. Not only does her special
(time freeze) stack with other character's moves, but she has quite a few defensive
maneuvers as well. While weak in the soul limit and life department, she does
have the fastest growth of soul limit per level. Though her Soul Limit is quite low and drains quickly and she lacks the jumping abilities of the other girls, she makes up for it with fast projectiles and a time-freezing special. It's worthy of note that Homura and her allies are completely invulnerable to enemy attacks during a time stop and can walk into projectiles and enemies without consequences.

Mortar/Nade Spam: Hold up/right or up/left then tap XC repeatedly to rain down explosions to your enemies

Homura rocket-cancel: Hold right or left direction then X followed by CX then followed by CX, if done correctly you should fire 3 rockets in one go

A decent combo for her is to freeze time, throw a grenade, then shoot the bazooka and finish off with a standing strong attack. This should generally launch them up and use the bazooka to push them while the bullets are hitting them.

===Mami===
[[File:Gsmamiidle.gif|right]]

Mami is a hybrid melee-ranged fighter who is widely regarded as the most difficult character to play. Her muskets have a very short range, her damage is low, and her truly powerful move, Tiro Finale, turns an enormous amount of the health bar blue.

Status Base:
*Vitality: 110
*Power: 10
*Special Cost: 100
*Soul limit: 22278
*SL lost in revive: 14,8%

Growth Per level
*Vitality: +5
*Power: +1
*Soul limit: +84

Abilities:
*Quick Attack: Summon and fire muskets in succession with very low range, but AoE damage. Can be pressed 8 times.
*Standing Strong Attack: Multiple Muskets. The longer you hold it the more muskets will appear. This can hold you still in the air.
*Left/Right Strong Attack: Step forward and strike the enemy with muskets, followed by a very strong dual musket shot with a little movement in the direction you are pressing. Hits behind Mami as well.
*Down Strong Attack: A cloth whip that will hold enemies still. You can continue holding the button down to keep them still longer. Will not hold bosses down.
*Up Strong Attack: Mami's hands turn into cannons and fire upwards diagonally to either side. Does not hit directly above her, though it has good vertical range.
*Dive Hop: Down and jump on enemy for no damage.
*Special: Tiro Finale. Summons a very large musket and fires a strong laser. Considering the subtraction from the health bar, this move is extremely risky, and is best used to punish bosses when they present an opening. The button can be hold down for a longer duration, but consume more in the process. (i.e. Impossible to perform when the move can drain nearly all of the bar)
*Idle: I can almost see them! ALMOST! ALMOST!

Review/Tips:
Mami has a sizable SL supply but takes a considerable hit when reviving as well (nearly double the cost of some other characters) making her large pool quite deceptive as you will see your reserves run dry if you are not careful.
While extremely vulnerable if enemies get the upper hand, her evasion skills are unsurpassed. Jumping and shooting the rifle leaves her nearly invulnerable while floating airborne. Her hitbox is near her feet at this state. The same goes for the dual cannon move which does big damage to boot. Her special is a boss killer but be aware you need to back up more since the gun takes a large portion of the screen and only hits in front. I would say you need to back up nearly full screen distance for it to hit. Repeatedly jump-canceling her forward-strong attack allows her to advance across the screen while attacking. Using her up strong attack during the rising part of a jump causes her to do the attack during the jump. Using it during the falling part of a jump causes her to do an extra small jump and then the attack. This attack can be used as a third jump in tight situations. Also, a good way to do damage against high up or large enemies is to do an up strong attack on the ground, and then jump cancel it and do a rising up strong attack and repeat when you land. Using her down strong attack causes a quick jump forward, and if you cancel it right after the whip comes out with a jump, you can move forward quickly.

===Sayaka===
[[File:Gssayakaidle.gif|right]]

Sayaka is a mobile melee fighter who uses charges and aerial attacks. She is an extremely powerful solo character whose diving attack can destroy enemies easily. Her strong attacks can chain into each other, making her extremely mobile while attacking.

Status Base:
*Vitality: 138
*Power: 10
*Special Cost: 20 (+20 if Strong Attack is added)
*Soul limit: 19935
*SL lost in revive: 6,2%

Growth Per level
*Vitality: +6
*Power: +1
*Soul limit: +82

Abilities:
*Quick Attack: Swing her sword back and forward. Can be pressed 8 times with the 8th being a step froward and slash.
*Standing Strong Attack: Lunge forward. Chargeable.
*Left/Right Strong Attack: Forward slash attack. Will knock back small enemies.
*Down Strong Attack: Jump backwards and then diagonally attack the way you were facing.
*Up Strong Attack: Jump forward diagonally. Can be done twice. Beware using this move in the air, it incurs a long recovery time.
*Dive Hop: Down and jump on enemy for no damage.
*Special: Forward dash. Press Strong Attack during the beginning to add a powerful attack with not much extra cost to your bar. During the dash you do not take hit stun, but you can still take damage.
*Idle: Bouncy. Well, except for her chest. Why so flat, Sayaka?

Review/Tips:
Sayaka is the definitive powerhouse that can tank it out with little to no effort.
Her attacks are very strong and fast and is probably the most powerful character in the game (at least for lower Laps).
Her left/right strong attack will stun enemies and send them flying into the wall. A good way damage enemies, especially those on later laps with lots of hp, without fear of retaliation is to continuously hit them into the wall. This works on larger enemies, as well. Just hit them as they're bouncing off the wall to negate their super armor, and then the next hit will slam them into the wall, again.
You have to really try hard to die on the first few laps of the game. I wonder what happens if she does die...

===Kyouko===
[[File:Gskyokoidle.gif|right]]

Kyouko is an offensively oriented melee fighter who has high damage attacks that cover wide areas. She is an extremely powerful solo character who can destroy waves of enemies easily in the early laps, but she can't handle taking very much damage.

Status Base:
*Vitality: 95
*Power: 10
*Special Cost: 35
*Soul limit: 23742
*SL lost in revive: 12,5%

Growth Per level
*Vitality: +5
*Power: +1
*Soul limit: +87

Abilities:
*Quick Attack: Swing her spear. 2 pokes 6 swings. Can be pressed 8 times.
*Standing Strong Attack: Lunge forward. Chargeable.
*Left/Right Strong Attack: Spinning double hit.
*Down Strong Attack: Jump and slash down. While in midair her attack changes to a charge downward.
*Up Strong Attack: Use her spear like a pole vault bending it and causing it to spring upward. Even in the air...
*Dive Hop: Down and jump on enemy for no damage.
*Special: Create a barrier to block the enemies.
*Idle: No Pocky?

Review/Tips:
Kyouko is no pushover and is excellent at crowd control and melee combat.
Although the slower of the two tanks, Kyouko's spear launch move deals great damage and is particularly effective at evading attacks. The spear charge is her damage-dealer. Her Spear twirl grants invulnerability frames. Her special has limited use, such as projectile evading but usually hurts more than helps her because it ironically leaves this tank in a vulnerable state.

The most useful attack for Kyouko at lower levels (i.e., Lap 26) is her Up Strong Attack. This attack is her third strongest attack (behind the Charged Lunge and Downward Strong attacks), covers an enormous area (including behind her) and can be spammed quickly, juggling enemies with ease. At lower levels , this attack will OHKO small enemies rendering even the largest crowds a trivial chore.

Kyouko combo: Zx5 + 5X + 6X + j2X + j2X or j8X

==Stages==

===Gertrud===

Gertrud boss fight

Small Anthony enemies (the ones with mustaches) spawn indefinitely during this boss fight. Gertrud, grounded, will slowly moves about the stage. She will alternate between these attacks at random:
* Body slam forward. Be careful, this move has farther range than it appears. Hits on the ground where her body impacts.
* Jump forward, up, or back and hit you where she lands. Only hits around her feet.
* Back up quickly and hit you by her feet. This is typically followed up by one of her other attacks.
* Jump straight up into the ceiling and position herself above where you are. After a time she will fall straight back down and do a body slam.
* Send out a large scissor attack that has pretty large range in front of her. Both the scissors and the vines they're connected to can hit you.
* Summon Adelbert enemies (the small white enemies) from the ground at spaced intervals. After a brief time, the Adelberts will turn into spikes to form walls. After the summoning Gertrud will typically do her ceiling jump attack if you're far away, or her other moves if you're close by.
Considering her attacks, it's pretty safe to do air attacks since most of Gertrud's attacks only hit near the ground. The Adelbert enemies she summons can be destroyed in one hit by strong attacks, unlike those found in the stage, so you can easily destroy them and run away instead of being trapped waiting for her to fall on you.

===Charlotte===
This stage is pretty linear like all the other stages but you'll come across a maze half way through, its best to follow the doors that have a blue hue(not the door color itself, but the light shining out of it) do this until you reach a room with the two staircases on either side, then head to the pink one(it should be after the one room filled w/ two giant rat enemies and their small minions). Though the game will take pity on you eventually and head you onward to the correct path, if you do mess up repeatedly. Though in later laps, it becomes beneficial to mess up and redo these rooms to grind for levels but this loop(the 2 big mice room and double staircase room) will only lasts four times, since starting the fifth one, the game will correct you to the path to Charlotte.

Charlotte boss fight

Charlotte initially appears in her first form and never moves or attacks you. To begin the true boss fight, you must defeat this first form. In the mean time, small enemies spawn indefinitely throughout the stage. Once you've defeated the first form, her second form appears from above in the center of the stage and bites downward. This can hit you for large damage. Don't be intimidated by her large size. The actual area where she can damage you is generally centered around her face when she attacks. She will alternate between these attacks at random:
* Bite forward and downward or upwards towards where you are.
* Jump forward and slams down on the ground in front.
* Charge up for a bit before moving forward for while, biting low at ground level or high at platform level toward where you are. High version can end with a body slam that hits the ground in front.
* She will back up several times, typically followed by another attack.
* Jump upward off the screen. She then appears above you and bites downward. This move is very powerful so do your best to avoid it.
Considering her attack pattern, it is fairly safe to stay near her, as long as you're behind her. She backs up much faster than most of the characters can move, though, so when she does, it's usually best to stay away.
* On later laps, a good way to grind levels is to, during Charlotte's first form, ignore her and just attack her minions.

===H.N. Elly (Kirsten)===

Kirsten boss fight

The setting of this boss fight is different from usual. There's no ground, only six floating TV's, the bottom four of which you can use as platforms. Falling off a platform just causes you to fall through and then appear above where you fell. If you fall off the sides, you'll land on the side platforms. If you you fall through the middle, you will probably drift towards one of the lower platforms. You can fall indefinitely, and steer yourself using the left and right arrows. Kirsten takes the form of four TV's which constantly rotate in a circle at the center of the stage. The main body, and the only place she can be harmed, is the TV containing the blue silhouette. Green blood spurts out of the TV to show that you're doing damage. The other TV's will contain one of three different images that have different effects:
* Lightning - periodically shoots lightning outwards.
* Minion - periodically spawns small minions.
* Exclamation point - if this TV is hit, three electrical orbs will fly out.
The initial configuration of the TV's is one of each image and Kirsten. Every so often, Kirsten and all the TV's will whirl around in place for a short time during which she's invulnerable. After, they will resume rotating with some changes:
* Kirsten's position amongst the TV's may change at random.
* The images on the other TV's may change at random.
* The direction that TV's rotate may change at random.
* The TV's may change to rotate in a circle with a small diameter (all of Kirsten's TV's touching), a large diameter (the TV's can reach the platforms), or a medium diameter (half way between) at random.
This fight is mostly made difficult by the spawning of enemies that will interrupt you while you try to attack Kirsten. Don't expend too much effort trying to take them out before attacking Kirsten, however, because it's likely that more will spawn before you get a chance to attack her if you pay too much attention to them. Try your best to attack the main body while taking out or avoiding enemies.

===Elsa Maria===

Elsa Maria boss fight

Elsa Maria is a grounded, generally stationary boss. She will only move after each attack where she will idle for a time before disappearing and reappearing again somewhere at random. Small and medium sized enemies of every kind from this stage will spawn at random indefinitely. She will alternate between these attacks at random:
* Hands extend out of her body and home in on you in a straight line.
* Hands extend straight out of her body at random angles and then turn once to home in on you.
* Note for the above two hand attacks, at low health she will do another volley of hands after the first.
* Hands extend straight out of her body radially like spokes of a wheel.
* Note that for all the hand attacks, only the hand can hit you, not the arm, so that's the only part you have to dodge.
* A large tree extends out of the back of her head and covers that entire side of the screen. This move is extremely powerful and hits many times. If you get hit by it, it will one hit KO you. An easy way to dodge this move is to pay attention to Elsa Maria's form when she appears. If it's any other attack, her body with morph into a blob like shape before attacking, But if it's this attack, her body will not change; the tree will just start extending out. This move also has fairly long start-up time, so it's not hard to get out of the way if you see it coming.
Taking her OHKO move into account, it's safest to attack Elsa Maria from behind at all times. Her other attacks are best to deal with at a distance. The homing hands you can avoid by staying in place and running and jumping away as they approach. The radial hands you need to look for an opening between the hands. And the tree you can avoid completely simply by being behind it. She will never appear so close to the edge of the screen that you can't avoid it.

===Oktavia von Seckendorff===

You obtain this boss fight after Sayaka dies at any time. There are no enemies present on this stage except Oktavia.

Oktavia boss fight

This is the only boss fight where enemies don't spawn. Oktavia will slide back and forth across the stage. She will alternate between these attacks:
* Summon four wheels that bounce across the screen. This occurs when Oktavia raises both her arms high. Her arms are raised higher than when she usually raises both arms during her idle animation. These wheels are destructible, and hitting them delays their descent.
* Summon many wheels in the sky that, after a short time, fall straight down and then roll off to the sides. This occurs when Oktavia raises only her sword arm. These wheels are destructible.
* Dash very quickly around the stage. She doesn't attack during this, nor is she invulnerable.
* Big sword slash that causes a large shockwave along the ground that goes in both directions from the impact of the sword. The sword slash can hit you. Both the slash and the shockwave do tremendous damage and will one hit KO you. The shockwave, though, only hits near the ground, so you can jump to avoid it. Try to be behind her or far from her when she does this move to avoid getting hit by the slash. An indicator that she's about to use this move is if he raises her sword arm and slides back and forth quickly.
* Retreat to the background where she is invulnerable and summon wheels to fall randomly from the sky. The wheels will disappear after hitting the ground once. After many wheels fall, she will return to the foreground. Kyoko's super has very good application here. Any wheel will be destroyed if it touches her barrier. One usage is enough to be safe for the entire duration of this move.

===Walpurgisnacht===

Walpurgisnacht boss fight

* This is another boss fight where there are platforms instead of solid ground. Unlike Kirsten's fight, though, if you fall here you die. Again, enemies spawn indefinitely. Walpurgisnacht has 2 main phases of attack.
* In her first phases she will float about the stage in random directions and let her minions attack you. Occasionally six blue orbs will appear in a hexagon formation and fire blue lasers out radially. The lasers are the same as the ones her minions fire and will first shoot a thin beam showing the direction they will shoot before actually shooting, so you have some time to dodge.
* After some time, Walpurgisnacht will enter her second phase. During this phase she retreats to the background and she is completely invulnerable. If you have not destroyed her enemies they will remain. However, during this phase they will not re-spawn once killed. To start this phase, debris will fly up and then fall from the sky, rotating as they fall. The debris cannot be destroyed so you must dodge. Each piece does large damage. After the debris finishes falling, Walpurgisnacht will shoot fire from her mouth that covers large portions of the stage as it arcs about. This fire is extremely powerful and will one hit KO you, so do your best to avoid it. A good strategy is to wait at the top platform in the center of the stage so you can watch the fire and see which direction it will move in so you can effectively dodge. After the fire attack finishes, Walpurgisnacht will return to the foreground and resume her first phase. At low health, after the fire attack, she will drop an enormous building from the sky centered where you are. You will know when it's starting when the screen shakes. This move is also a one hit KO, but it's not too hard to outrun. Also, Sayaka can super dash away, while Homura can stop time.
* Walpurgisnacht is enormous, so it's extremely easy to hit her. Using Madoka's super attack can result in all of the arrows hitting for enormous damage.

Tiro Finale Book

The "'''Tiro Finale Book'''" (ティロフィナーレ本), by "Madoka-ya", is a "semi-official" Madoka illustration doujin book first sold at Comic Market 80. It is composed of illustrations and writings by many major figures involved in the production of the Madoka Magica anime or manga, such as the seiyuu and all members of the Magica Quartet. Other notable figures in the anime and manga industry also contributed illustrations and writings.

A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH57g5OKjPA promotional video] shows some examples of the illustrations in the doujin. The "Tiro Finale Book" sold out just past noon on the last day and only those people who joined the line earlier than 7:30am (Comiket doesn't open until 10am) received a copy.

All translations courtesy of symbv from evageeks forums.

"The first Blu-ray Disc volume of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica television anime series sold about 22,000 copies on its first day on Oricon's daily Blu-ray Disc ranking chart on April 27."

Naruto movie > Madoka > Kuroshitsuji
Last Naruto movie sold around 22k in total. Last Kuroshitsuji volume sold around 7k. Assuming the trend subsist, the actual number should be somewhere between those two. 2chan speculated around 10-12k this week.

And here are Madoka's final BD sales estimation

So according to this, the lowest it can hit is 78,053...damn. Although, the one who posted this noted that UC3 was 10% lower than its "lowest limit".

=== Doujin Sales Popularity ===
Checking mid-July Top Ten doujin sales rankings [http://blog.livedoor.jp/geek/archives/51277674.html (NSF, Japanese)] shows the following:
*Madoka is still very popular and is the subject of many top-selling doujins
*Madoka's popularity is not in adult or hentai titles relative to other anime. Its popularity is primarily in general or non-hentai titles
*Further check of the adult and general titles in the rankings show all but a few have yuri content

Madoka has ranked high in the past in doujin sales in the past. However, its popularity seems to be increasing as well as trending towards non-hentai titles with yuri content. This reflects the content commonly seen for Madoka on pixiv which is also disproportionally high in non-hentai and yuri.

== '''Yuri Discussion''' ==
As the person who made this jpg or rather this updated one here (http://i56.tinypic.com/rh3hmv.jpg), I'll try to explain it as best as I can to people who aren't familiar with yuri. I originally made the jpg for people on /u/ for a yuri audience who already know the significance behind the symbols and so there was no need for explanations. First, let me explain how important context is with an example like the ribbons Madoka gives to Homura. To someone who doesn't know yuri, this wouldn't mean anything. However, if you're a yuri fan, you recognize that as a reference to the scene that started yuri shipping for one of the most iconic mahou shoujo yuri couples, Nanoha and Fate. You also know this was done intentionally because Shinbo directed both Nanoha and Madoka anime. Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmKTGB_QmKc where (while it's nice to watch it all and see the similarity in long embraces and talk of friendship, just skip to 4:40) and you see 1) giving of ribbons, 2) stating the ribbons will be a way to remember the other person, 3) a promise they'll meet again. This parallels what Madoka tells Homura as Madoka gives her the ribbons.

The importance of context is also true with the nearly identical pose for Madoka and Homura's naked embrace in space to one of the most iconic scenes known in yuri (as an example of how well-known this pose is, on /u/ there is a thread dedicated to nothing but this scene redone for dozens of yuri shipped couples...of which 95% are pure fanart because to see this actual pose in an anime or manga is actually quite rare). This original embrace was in Kannazuki no Miko (KnM), one of the most well-known couples in yuri that share many parallels to Homura and Madoka. In KnM, Chikane is very similar to Homura in being tall, dark-haired, competent, totally willing to sacrifice herself for another girl etc. whose ways are mysterious to the sweet, naive Himeko (who Madoka resembles). As it turns out, Chikane is the one who remembers her shared fate with Himeko of repeating the same cycle of lives together over and over again, with Himeko only discovering the full truth of their connection just before they are parted because they need to sacrifice themselves to save the world. And when this happens, Himeko gets to choose how she want the next world to be remade..e.g. whether they forget about each other or remember and meet one another again (she chooses the second option). So with that context of the similarity of these two couples, the embrace is basically hitting home the point of yes, yuri fans, we're comparing these two to KnM if you haven't already noticed. And again, this is done intentionally--much like the episode 9 similarity to the well-known yuri Utena symbolism--from a studio (SHAFT), director (Shinbo), character designer (Ume) among others on the production staff, who are well-known for being very genre-savvy about yuri and putting in intentional yuri subtext in their anime on a regular basis. Now whether someone sees something different in expression is a subjective view (and like with me, I happen to disagree and see it differently from my subjective view) and doesn't change the symbolic meaning behind that pose (to yuri-fans at least) nor the similarities of Homura and Madoka's situation to that in KnM.

I'm going to add Madoka's naked embrace in space also references one other famous yuri scene in anime (plus Diebuster and Lain for that matter--EoE too--but I rather not cover these scenes that have more ambigious interpretations). The third clear yuri reference is from the classic, Yami to Boshi. Hazuki is the Homura-like character (tall, long dark hair, fighter, obsessive etc.) who obsessively travels across different worlds to track down her pure-hearted, sweet Hatsumi (Madoka-like character). They finally meet in this otherworldly place outside the rest of the universe, and Hazuki confesses her feelings to Hatsumi, only to find out Hatsumi is a god and so they cannot stay together. Hatsumi users her god-like powers to reset Hazuki's world so she's suppose to forget her, but Hatzuki seems to have a vague recollection anyways, and yes, there's also a vague promise of meeting again one day.

Adding evidence of subtext:

[[File:SubtextEpisode10TL2.jpg|300px]]

Madoka notorious "hump hug" in episode 10, timeline 2, also shows her shedding a few tears--an indication of the depth of her feelings for Homura. Homura notices and reacts.

== '''Mahou Shoujo Discussion''' ==
How Madoka plays the mahou shoujo tropes straight and when they do a brilliant job of subverting them.

Example: Take exact heartwarming lines, "You finally called me by first name. I'm so glad," showing two magical girls overcoming animosity in Pretty Cure Splash Star (note to self, provide details, episode reference and clip if possible) to become close, and turn them into Madoka's final heart-breaking words to Homura prior to being mercy-killed in ep. 10, TL3. There really is an amazing amount of meta-references in Madoka where you can see exactly how twisted Urobuchi's mind works.

Notes to self:
* Cover the genesis of Madoka's key production staff for prior work on mahou shoujo and yuri.
* QB as mahou shoujo mascot. Make an extensive list or pick key ones? Show played straight examples and also how this is one of the biggest mahou shoujo subversions in Madoka.
* Possible topics: Love friendship and courage themes, Working hard versus innate talent, Henshe (nudity, stock footage), Fightstyle, Enemies as Evil vs. Befriending them, Saving the world/universe, Death and Resets, Power-ups, Magical artifacts (soulgem!), Telepathy, Alien mascot/people/technology etc., Pseudo-science explanations, Color coding of girls, Dark magical girls (first impression as wrong, e.g. Homura and Kyouko) and how they change, self-sacrifice, when do they stop being magical girls (if ever), yuri subtext, use of boy interests, how family is portrayed, relationships between magical girls, gore (or lack thereof), psychological breakdown, knowing intrinsically how to fight vs. learning the job - note to self, add more.
* Consider what is default/stereotypical "played straight" and what are subversions, as there will be examples of both. Consider when Madoka is the same or different.
* Discuss how popular mahou shoujo of all flavors is in Japan (go find TV ratings and product sales). Discuss difference between seinen and shoujo mahou shoujo anime but also how the genre attracts fringe demographics from the other intended audience (hunt down Nanoha and PreCure numbers)
* Decide which CCS and Sailor Moon series episodes to reference, preferably with English subs/dubs.
* Find manga examples or only stick to anime? Reference Sailor Nothing in comparison or in its own section?

== '''Discussion''' ==
Hi Randomanon, sorry I don't know how to contact with you so I'll leave a line here, please delete this at your will. I saw your post on /u/ an hour ago or so before you deleted it, and your enthusiasm for MadoMagi interested me. The part about HomuMado's naked embrace didn't use the word "miko embrace" while mentioning Kannazuki no Miko so I thought maybe you're not very familiar with yuri? If there is any aspect you'd like to discuss, especially yuri related things, I can provide some info to assist your writing (since I found this page interesting). Greetings. [[User:Saluki.N|Saluki.N]] 00:01, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
*I'm flattered you found this page interesting. It's for personal use only, so there's no need to edit it. If you'd like to contribute to the wiki, there's a yuri page some other people have started to put together, here that could use some input [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Yuri_undertones]. I've been busy with other things so regrettably not involved in that. In my personal background, I'm a magical girl fan who became a general anime and manga fan which also includes yuri. I've seen many yuri anime and manga, and also seen how it works in Japan from the fanbase to the production staff with magical girl anime, so that's my perspective. I don't spend much time discussing yuri outside my visits to /u/ so I'm lacking what do they call it, the theorycraft and knowledge of lingo I guess? But if you mention anything that isn't completely obscure in yuri anime and manga, I think you'll find I've seen it. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 02:00, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
**Okay, glad to know you're familiar with yuri, guess I can't help much. I mostly operate on Pixiv and talking to fanartists, not paying much attention to production staffs of anime in general so I found the infomations on this page fascinating - Madoka did so well. I will try to contribute with some pages on this wiki as your suggestion. [[User:Saluki.N|Saluki.N]] 11:07, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
***Well the wiki relies on the different strengths and contributions of everyone so I'm sure you can do things that I can't for the wiki. I'm not an expert in all things yuri, that's for sure. Just wouldn't bother doing anything with my personal talk page as it's a private page, so there's no point in editing it where there's public wiki pages that are open to the public. Question: As a pixiv person, I'm curious what your thoughts were on my post here: [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File_talk:Pixiv_numbers.png]. It was some numbers I started tabulating out of curiosity and was surprised to discover that I think the Madoka couple pairings might be the most drawn yuri couples on pixiv for an anime. Of course Touhou is #1 overall but their popularity is not due to anime. So of anime couples, I think Madoka might be #1 and this happened at some point in a matter of a few months versus anime that has been drawn by pixiv for years. But I would like that verified by someone else who knows the site better than I do. I only search by tags, pretty much. It's part of an analysis I'm doing on Madoka where it's pretty clear it's not the flavor-of-the-month but I'm wondering if it's not one of those rare times where it can make a fundamental change to things like magical girl and yuri anime (and possibly beyond that). So my interest here is tracking the evidence and seeing what happens. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 17:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Lord of the Kakapos:

Musical Notes

2011-08-02T02:29:31Z

Lord of the Kakapos:

[[File:A1repeats.jpg|right|thumb|One measure of Sayaka's circle's notes]]

Musical notes were first seen at the end of [[Episode 5]] on something that appears to be a [[Deciphering the notes#Sayaka's Spell Circle|spell circle]] for [[Sayaka]]. It has been much debate about whether the notes actually mean something, but at least many familiar musical symbols have been identified (see tables below).

== Musical Scores ==
This section has a more in-depth information of the different musical scores that have appeared so far.
{{Spoilers}}
=== Sayaka's Spell Circle ===
There is not much information about this particular score. Appearing for the first time when Sayaka was healing herself during a battle in [[Episode 5]], it was dubbed a "healing circle" by the community. The circle consists of three rings, each of which repeat the same note patterns as confirmed by the clear shots at the end of [[Episode 8]]. After the circles made an appearance at the end of [[Episode 7]] when Sayaka battled a witch, it became apparent that the circles weren't just for healing, but rather a sign that Sayaka was using her magic.

Even though many familiar musical symbols were identified soon after the circle's first appearance, many inconsistencies were also spotted within the notation, like note heads pointing to strange directions, runic {{runes|F}} symbols appearing ''above'' the staves, the complete lack of time signature and distinguishable bar lines, and rests of strange durations in strange places. These things lead to an assumption that the scores are mirrored or indeed just nonsense. Even though the definite order of all the musical symbols has been confirmed, a musical piece matching them hasn't been found so far.

It is possible that the color of the circle depends on what kind of magic Sayaka uses, or for what purpose. In the episode 5 when she's healing herself, the circles are light blue and shine a bright light that sometimes makes the musical symbols indistinguishable. However, after realizing she had wasted her wish and basically thrown her life away for nothing, Sayaka's spell circles turned black. This could depict the awakened darkness and despair in her, though it could also be just a way to not make her stand out too much from the background.

=== Oktavia Von Seckendorff ===

After Sayaka turns into a [[Oktavia_von_Seckendorff|witch]] at the beginning of the [[Episode 9]], various sheets of musical notes appear. Instead of forming a circle, these notes flow through the screen forming the witch's barrier, and later in the episode in the "to be continued" screen after the endcard. Because the notes are visible for an adequate period of time and there' nothing blocking them, it didn't take long before the first sheets appeared on 4chan's /a/ board. After a few more or less unsuccessful attempts to transcript the notes, a video appeared on [http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13778673 Nico Nico Douga] pointing out the similarities between the sheet music and the background music that was playing during the episode's two battle scenes.

The problems encountered during the transcription process were mostly related to the video quality and capabilities of human eye. The whole sheet music is displayed in various places throughout the first battle scene and again in the very end of the episode, so making the correct transcription was just a matter of finding the best shots of the notes. Unlike in the spell circle, this sheet had clear bar lines which made it possible to determine a time signature, and the notation was overall more consistent which made it easier to work on. The first transcription that appeared on /a/ was based on the assumption that the scores were flipped vertically, which they weren't. In addition some of the quarter notes in it lacked dots which caused some bars to have less beats than the others. It also begun from wrong place, the first bar was determined after a double line was discovered from the sheet music, and later proven correct after the connection to the bgm was discovered. In the second transcription had established the 6/4 time signature, and had reconstructed the notes as they appeared in the episode rather than flipping them over vertically. However, due to some of the natural accidentals that appear in several bars, the anon had determined the key signature to be Ab minor. Closer inspection of a picture complied from screenshots revealed that the natural accidentals were actually a result of sharp notes appearing in previous bars. These accidentals are more clearly visible on the screen after the endcard.

== Blu-ray changes ==
With the new changes in the Blu-ray version Sayaka's transformation sequence displays an array of musical notes and scores that are more complete for analysis. A video in [http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm14820939|Nico Nico Douga] seems to indicate that the musical notes are from [[wikipedia:Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska|Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska]]'s [[wikipedia:Maiden's_Prayer|A Maiden's Prayer]].

Aniplex USA Madoka Premiere

2011-08-02T02:26:16Z

Lord of the Kakapos:

''(Editor's Note: This is primarily from a first-hand account by a wiki contributor. If there are people who attended that have anything new to contribute, please feel free to note it here or on the [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Talk:Aniplex_USA_Madoka_Premiere discussion page], including links to photos from the event.)''

== Introduction ==
[[File:Otakon at the BCC.JPG|thumb|Location of the Otakon and Madoka's USA premiere]]
On July 29, 2011, [http://madokamagicausa.com/ Aniplex USA] showed the premiere of Madoka Magica for the first time in the U.S. , at the [http://www.otakon.com/ Otakon] 2011 anime and manga convention hosted in Baltimore, Maryland [http://Fotakon.com/events_premieres.asp#Madoka]. The first three episodes were shown with subs, followed by a Q&A session with Madoka's executive producer Atsuhiro Iwakami. On Saturday, Iwakami will have an autograph sessions with fans and a panel later on in the day.

== Observations of the Madoka Premiere Episodes ==
*The fans filled most of the room, estimating at least 200 attendees. Of those, several dozen attendees raised their hands at the question as to whether this premiere was the first time they'd seen Madoka.
*Atsuhiro Iwakami was introduced and he said he was glad to be there. One thing noteworthy is he said in his intro was that he'd never seen Madoka on a big screen like that before, not even in Japan.
*The difference in big screen was immediate to the audience, whether it was with gasps at Madoka henshin scene in the OP to cheers at Mami's fights with witches.
*The episode shown were from the Blu-Ray, with never before seen subtitles. Subtitles had the following features:
:*Use of Mr. and Miss rather than Japanese honorifics
:*In the dialogue, "magical girl" rather than mahou shoujo or puella magi is used
:*In some cases, translation differed from a literal interpretation in the Japanese to American concepts/slang to convey an equivalent message
:*Subtitles could be lengthy and sometimes shown on screen too briefly to be read completely
*The audience was positive and enthusiastic in response to key moments whether it was cheering, applauding or laughing.

== Summary of Observations of the Iwakami Q&A ==
[[File:Otakon Poster.jpg|thumb]]

*When asked a question about Yuki Kajiura and whether her work on Madoka influenced his decision to use her for Fate/Zero, Iwakami mentioned with this is the second time working with Kajimura. The first time had been on Kara no Kyokai, the Garden of Sinners. He mentioned that asking her to compose for Madoka was something Urobuchi specifically requested.

*Iwakami described his role with Madoka was to bring the team together (Shinbo for directing, Ume for character design, Urobuchi for script) and that the creative effort of the team working at 100% capabilities, plus the efforts of the production staff, musical talent and seiyuu made the success. He felt that he was blessed to have such a great staff and cast to work with on the anime.

*When asked about the importance of Madoka's family, with a mention on the role reversal of Madoka's parents, Iwakami replied that Madoka's mother was a very important character and would be past what was shown in the three episodes. He stated that it was important to Urobuchi that in Madoka's background that her family was a strong support and her mother was a strong character.

*A fan asked what it felt like to produce the best anime ever. Iwakami's simple reply, "Thank you."

*He validated a guest question that Urobuchi's deception before episode 3 was part of a concerted effort to make the anime surprising to viewers.

*Iwakami mentioned that he gave Urobuchi directions that the script should be dark, have surprises and some deaths.

*When asked about whether he expected Madoka's success in Japan and overseas, he said that with an original anime script there is no guarantee of success. But there was a very good staff working on it and the reason for the success is the work speaking for itself.

*When asked what was his favorite character, he answered that this question vexes him because he knows he's expected to say he likes them all. But truthfully, his favorite is Madoka Kaname.

*When a fan asked whether the other characters would have a similar character profile like Madoka's 100 Q & A, he answered that they would be added to the official Madoka website.

*A fan asked about the witch barriers and noted the similarity of striking visuals to other works like Bakemonogatari. Iwakami replied that Inu Curry, who had worked on Bakemonogatari, was responsible for the witches. He said originally in the script there were suppose to be tentacle monsters like in [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0884328/ The Mist] but Inu Curry made some changes and they became the witch barrier mazes you see in the anime.

*When asked about seiyuu response to how dark the anime was, he said they were surprised but also had fun. He also complimented them on their talent and said they were part of the success of Madoka.

*A fan asked if he would take a contract with Kyubey and if so what wish. Iwakami answered that he would know not to make a contract with Kyubey. And that in reality, he is living his dream in making anime, so he does not need to make a wish.

*The question was asked if Madoka will be dubbed. Aniplex answered yes.

*A fan asked about the differences in Mami's room from broadcast to BD and whether there was a reason behind it. Iwakami said the series director, Yukihiro Miyamoto, asked for production enhancements, e.g. added details. This included more in the background in Mami's room.

*He also mentioned that Inu Curry was also the person who came up with the idea of Mami's teacup for the fight and that there are other details like that which were added by Inu Curry.

*When asked whether the ending was changed because of the earthquake, he said no, that was the original ending.

*Verified that the mix of Urobuchi serious and dark story with Ume "sugary sweet" designs was intentionally done.

*He stated that the language heard in the music was a made up language by Kajiura, "Kajiuraese" and not real.
[[File:Unknown girl.png|thumb|The unknown witch brought up in the last question.]]
*He verified production staff was very surprised when overseas fans cracked the runes. He said even obsessive Japanese fans had not gone that far. He also said the runes were original art which Inu Curry came up with.

*When asked about the witches powers, he said they are based on what their powers were like as magical girls.

*The last question addressed a scene in the final episode where various historical magical girls are shown. The attendee wanted to know the identity of a character who appears with pink hair and dress in a castle. Iwakami was unsure without seeing the scene but said that all the historical characters featured should be recognizable to American fans except possibly the Japanese Queen Himiko. [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention/2011/otakon/8]

*Concluded session thanking everyone for being able to share the experience of seeing the first three episodes. (Ironic audience laughter to this)

== Iwakami Panel ==
[[File:Otakon Iwakami Panel Autograph Line 01.JPG|thumb|Part of the long line of attendees waiting for autographs after the panel.]]
On Saturday, July 30, 2011, Iwakami participated in a panel and short autograph session with fans.

=== Introduction and Aniplex Questions to Iwakami ===
It first started with introductions and questions by Aniplex to Iwakami. This was the third convention in the US he’s attended. When asked about how Otakon was different, he said that it felt rushed because he had to fly in Thursday to attend it on Friday and had to fly out to Japan again in the morning.

Next, there was an video of clips from Iwakami’s anime. They were shown in the following order:
*009-1
*Kannagi
*Hidamari Sketch
*Bakemonogatari (loud applause and cheers)
*Cencoroll (some applause and cheers)
*Kara no Kyokai - Garden of Sinners
*Oreimo (some applause and cheers)
*Madoka (loudest applause and cheers)
*North American premiere of the trailer for Fate/Zero (loud applause afterwards).

Iwakami was asked about his thoughts on his titles. He responded that all the titles are important but he is most fond of Garden of Sinners because it was his first success. That success gave him the staff and freedom to do what interests him. He also stated that he found it interesting how the audience reacted to each one of the titles. He expressed interest in learning more about American fans and wanted to bring that back to Japan for inspiration.

Aniplex mentioned a new project in the fall, [http://www.animebunko.com/ Animebunko]. Iwakami explained it is going to be a video series collaboration with ufotable, who had also worked on Garden of Sinners. He thought the project would be good for the experimental genre.

Aniplex asked him how American fans at Otakon were different from Japanese fans. He talked about the cosplayers at Otakon, how they had more variety and longer memories. Japanese cosplayers he said were more trendy, moving rapidly on what’s popular. But, fan lover for anime is universal. He then showed an example of this by displaying a gift he received from a fan yesterday: a well-crafted, hand-made Kyubey plushie.

=== Fan Q&A ===

[[File:Free poster at Iwakami Panel.JPG|thumb|One of two free posters given out at the Iwakami Panel.]]

Next was a few questions from a line of fans. Because of time, only a few were asked and answered.

A Pretty Cure fan wanted to know what inspired Madoka. He was interested because Madoka was different and expanded what it meant to be a magical girl. Iwakami’s reply was that Madoka was his first original anime. He had always wanted to do either a giant robot or magical girl story. The reason is he felt they were particularly suited to coming to life in anime and he wanted to apply the story to it. He was impressed with Urobuchi’s ability to bring characters and their dialogue to life, and thought he would be perfect for Madoka.

When asked how he decides what gets chosen for production, Iwakami’s responded that his criteria was that it needs to be entertaining and interesting. He said that you get a feel for it [e.g. what is interesting and entertaining to audience] and make your choice.

A fan asked what was his favorite mahou shoujo and inspiration. Iwakami said he was partial to Minky Momo as that what was he saw as a child in elementary school. He also watched the first Gundam series religiously. He stated that he did not incorporate his experiences with Madoka.

Iwakami also mentioned that he enjoyed watching the audience response to each episode of Madoka as it aired.

He was then asked what it was like working with Shinbo creatively and what it was like drinking with him. The audience laughed at this question. Iwakami seemed amused and said that Shinbo loves his alcohol. After pretty much every production meeting, Shinbo wanted to go out eating [dinner] and drinking. Iwakami said that Shinbo is not good with crowds which is why he doesn’t attend events or do interviews. So Shinbo has an air of mystery but really he is a nice guy. Iwakami further described Shinbo as a tough director, who likes things done to his standards and says no to compromises. So each show he produces has the “Shinbo flavor.” Iwakami also said that Shinbo has a producer-like mentality and that he’s learned some things from Shinbo on that.

A fan asked if CardCaptor Sakura was an inspiration for Madoka due to some similarities he'd seen. Iwakami replied that there was nothing intentional. He saw CardCaptor Sakura as a classic in the genre and Madoka as something different. If there were similarities, it would be superficial things like visual effects. He stated that no other mahou shoujo was intentionally used to be similar [e.g. inspiration for] Madoka.

He was also asked about a fan on his thoughts about the fact that Madoka overseas fans had viewed the anime illegally. Iwakami responded that he understands that happens because not everyone has the means to view the anime. He said that he knew overseas fans were seeing episodes before some in Japan did, e.g. those in Tokyo who saw the episode aired a day later. He finds the capabilities of the internet fascinating but also needs the need to protect titles. So what he sees as guidance for both the industry and fans is something new he’s doing with Fate/Zero. For Fate/Zero, a North American distribution will be available as soon as each episode airs.

The last fan question had to do with Garden of Sinners and why the format was so unique. Iwakami responded that it was because he wanted to be faithful to the format of the novel. Since it had seven chapters of varying length, it did not fit the anime or two-hour movie format.

Aniplex stated that fans were welcome to ask their questions at the [http://www.facebook.com/MadokaMagicaUSA Aniplex official facebook]. They will then send the questions to Iwakami for responses.

=== Iwakami Q&A to Fans ===

Iwakami then had a few questions for the fans at the panel.

*He asked how many had seen all the episodes to Madoka. Iwakami appeared a little surprised when he saw almost everyone in the audience raise their hands.
*Next he asked if anyone disliked Hitomi. Only a few raised their hands .
*How many disliked Kyubey. Some more raised their hands, but a minority of fans.
*He asked who had seen Garden of Sinners. Only a few raised their hands.
*He asked who had seen Oreimo. The majority of fans raised their hands.

Iwakami then concluded by saying that there will be a special North American release dubbed for Madoka, with special packaging that even Japanese fans would want. Lots of applause greeted that statement.

=== Raffle ===

Next was a raffle to the audience who had received tickets from Madoka cosplayers at the start of the panel. The prizes were:
*“Make a contract with me and become a magical girl” Kyubey t-shirt (winning fan seemed disappointed but only because he would not win the sketch, not because he disliked Kyubey)
*Mami t-shirt
*BD Volumes 1-4, each to separate fans (Junko cosplayer won volume 2 and someone from Aniplex greeted her with, “You’re Madoka’s mom!”)
*Kyubey pillow
[[File:Otakon Iwakami Signature.JPG|thumb|Iwakami's signature]]
*Iwakami sketch he did for Otakon (seeing the big audience reaction of disappointment when the winner was announced an Aniplex representative joked, “Watch yourself when you go out [of the room]”, which changed the audience’s response to laughter)

=== Final Message and Autograph Signing ===

Iwakami concluded the panel by saying that it has not even been a year since Madoka started airing and yet there is so much love for it from fans. He said he was happy to come here [to the Otakon] and see this. He asked fans to please keep supporting them in their efforts.

For the autograph signing, almost everyone stayed. Because there were so many in a limited time period, everyone was asked to have their one official item ready, that there would not be personalized signatures or conversation, in order to get everyone to have one signed item.

Community:Saimoe 2011

2011-08-02T02:25:59Z

Lord of the Kakapos:

The [http://ast2011.sitemix.jp/ Anime Saimoe Tournament] is an annual contest held by 2ch to determine the most moe girl of the year. The tournament is not meant to directly measure popularity (despite common misconceptions) but rather focuses on each character's moe appeal, and is intended to be a festival in which fans can promote shows, characters, artwork, and other material they enjoyed. Saimoe is serious fucking business. Blood will be spilled. The cast of Puella Magi Madoka Magica is participating in the 2011 tournament.

Episode revisions

2011-08-02T02:15:46Z

Lord of the Kakapos: /* Annotations */

[[Shaft]], the animation studio behind the series, is known for making extensive modifications for rebroadcasts and disc releases of their series. The airing and release schedule for ''Madoka Magica'' allowed for several opportunities for that practice, as it consisted of:

* the original broadcasts on MBS and (one day later) TBS
* one week late broadcast on CBC
* webcast on Nico Nico Douga, Showtime and AnimeOne
* three months late broadcast on AT-X
* DVD/BD releases

The [[wikipedia:2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Great East Japan Earthquake]] occured shortly after [[Episode 10]]'s original airing on MBS. For various reasons (speculated to be one or more of: the quake directly affecting the studio's building, TV stations extensively showing current reports, apocalyptic events depicted in the anime and Spring shows being already scheduled after stabilization), the series went on a five-week-long hiatus thereafter, also causing the DVD/BD releases to be postponed by one month. This may have given the studio more time to make revisions, although it should be remembered that the its building has been affected by the quake.

== [[Episode 1]] ==
The original version premiered on MBS on January 6.

=== Webcast/AT-X version ===
This version was first shown on Nico Nico Douga on January 12. The same version was later shown on other streaming sites and rebroadcast on AT-X on April 2.
* In the original broadcast, all the background music (most notably, ''[[Magia]]'' played during the prologue scene) is played slower and at a lower pitch. In the AT-X version (and reportedly the webcast version, too), this was corrected, causing the need for the tunes to be edited differently to fit the video.<ref>Although the slowed-down version of Magia was thought to be intentional by many, this is likely a production error in the original version. The difference in speed and pitch is equal to playing a digital recording recorded at the sample rate of 48000 Hz (common for studio recording, DVD/BD and broadcast) as 44100 Hz (used on audio CDs). It probably means that there was some mistake during some stage of distribution or editing of the music recordings. Pitch of background music has been also corrected for all subsequent episodes.</ref>

=== Blu-ray version ===
This version of the episode was released with the Blu-ray Volume 1 on April 27.

Some of those differences were first pointed on [http://blog.min.chu.jp/?eid=1243310 Amimone☆Nikki], a Japanese fan's blog.
* There are many slight lighting changes throughout the whole episode.
* There are many slight voice timing corrections throughout the whole episode (some lines are moved by fractions of second compared to the original version).
* The prologue scene was heavily modified, to keep it in line with Timeline 4 of [[Episode 10]].
* A new version of the opening sequence is used.
* In [[Junko Kaname|mother]] waking scene, a mannequin near the bed has been removed.
* Direction of sunlight is changed in some shots of the walk to school.
* Girls' shadows are drawn in more detail in other shots of the same scene.
* Closeup shot of [[Kazuko Saotome|the teacher]] is re-animated.
* During [[Homura]]'s introduction, her name on the whiteboard is moved to be visible.
* [[Sayaka]]'s hairpin is removed (it was mistakenly drawn on the wrong side) in one of the shots in the classroom.
* Lighting is dimmed in [[Homura]]'s high jump shot.
* [[Sayaka]] and [[Hitomi]] are shown giggling upon hearing [[Madoka]] saying she met [[Homura]] in her dream. Previous versions featured just a still picture.
* Lights glow in [[Kyubey]] chase scene is changed.
* A fence is added before [[Madoka]] in the shot where she meets [[Kyubey]].
* Lines on [[Madoka]]'s cheeks are less intense in a closeup shot of her afterwards.
* When [[Gertrud]]'s barrier first appears, the images and runes are more clearly visible, the translucent "screen" is removed for most part, and smooth wipes are replaced by sharp cuts.
* Several cartoonish sound effects were added to the barrier's appeareance.
* Runes shown when [[Gertrud#Anthony|Anthonies]] are reciting a poem in German are changed. It now features the so-called ''archaic'' script instead of the ''modern'' one and an entirely different text.
* The explosion in [[Gertrud]]'s maze is animated completely differently.
* [[Mami]]'s [[Soul Gem]] in her first shot is much smaller, and has little flowers sparkling around it.
* Mami is lit differently in a shot before her transformation.
* During Mami's transformation, Soul Gem has different shape and is glowing more intensively. The whole transformation sequence is also brighter.
* Final explosion of the fight is significantly brighter.
* During the talk between [[Homura]] and [[Mami]] after the fight, additional chains hanging from the ceiling are drawn.
* The episode has a proper ending sequence with an [[See You Tomorrow|entirely new song]]. Hence credits superimposed on the last scenes are removed.

Below is a screenshot comparison between the original broadcast version and the Blu-ray release of the episode:

== [[Episode 2]] ==
The original version premiered on MBS on January 13 and was later published on web distributions sites on January 19 and rebroadcast on AT-X on April 9 without changes.

=== Blu-ray version ===
This version of the episode was released with the Blu-ray Volume 1 on April 27.

Some of those differences were pointed on [http://blog.min.chu.jp/?eid=1243310 Amimone☆Nikki].
* Like in [[Episode 1]], many voice lines have been re-timed.
* Pre-OP scene of [[Mami]]'s fight and introduction is lit brighter.
* A new version of the opening sequence is used, like in Episode 1.
* Reflections in the mirror during the bath scene are much brighter.
* Interior of [[Mami]]'s apartment is redesigned completely, with a round table, a different-legged triangular table, a different sofa, a stairway and many stuff inside (see picture on the right). Outlook is also slightly changed and only her name is on her nameplate instead of more (perhaps two) names. Note that many of these changes could be already seen in [[Episode 10]], [[Episode 12|12]] and in AT-X version of [[Episode 4]].
* [[Mami]]'s [[Soul Gem]] is bigger when she shows it to the second-years.
* In the original print of the Blu-ray discs, there is a production error consisting of Mami's line ''"They ''[Soul Gems]'' are created when a girl chosen by [[Kyubey]] forms a contract"'' mistakenly replaced by a repeat of her earlier line ''"Being chosen by [[Kyubey]] means you're involved in this"'', which she said as one of first lines during the girls' visit. The mistake is likely due to two lines beginning with the same words (「キュゥべぇに選ばれた」) in Japanese. [http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=294417 The defective version has already been recalled by Aniplex] due to this issue and wrong lyrics of [[See You Tomorrow|the character song]] printed in the booklet.
* Some shots inside [[Mami]]'s apartment have characters redrawn in addition to a completely different background.
* Color of the sunset behind Mami's windows is different.
* Madoka is visible in some of the shots of [[Junko Kaname|Junko]] before the mirror.
* Shot of Mami's reflection in the table is zoomed out, showing much more detail.
* Madoka's face is lit differently during a closeup shot in Mami's apartment.
* Closeups of [[Mami]]'s [[Soul Gem]] show a slightly different design of it.
* Fence on the school rooftop has a different pattern, to keep it in line with [[Episode 7]] and AT-X version of [[Episode 4]].
* Flash of [[Kyousuke]]'s room now features a dark sunset or sunrise. He is also sitting straight, instead of laying down.
* When the girls go on a witch hunt, the lighting is darker, and blooming cherry trees are replaced by dead trees. The bridges also have different designs.
* The woman who jumps off the bridge has darker hair.
* The floor of the building where [[Gertrud]] is hiding is now patterned.
* Some shots inside the witch's barrier have different lighting.
* A place before entrance to [[Gertrud]]'s chamber looks different.
* The witch's chamber feature more flowers in the background.
* [[Gertrud]]'s name (in runes) is written in a smaller and differently colored font.
* The witch's movements after [[Mami]] is tied up and before she attcks with Tiro Finale, are different.
* Magical attacks during the fight have a brighter glow. In one shot there are also flowers sparkling around the beams.
* The ending sequence is added, like in [[Episode 1]].

== [[Episode 3]] ==
The original version premiered on MBS on January 20. No changes have been spotted in either webcast (premiered on January 26) or AT-X (broadcast on April 16) version.

=== Blu-ray version ===
This version of the episode was released with the Blu-ray Volume 2 on May 25.
* [[Kyousuke]]'s bed is modified like Episode 4 AT-X version.
* At [[Mami]]'s buttle with [[Ulla]], street lights is lighting and clouds are in the sky.
* In shots in the night street, effects of lights and shades are modified.
* The production error lower half of bat in cloth in [[Sayaka]]'s hand is not drawn in one shot is corrected.

* The arrangement of bicycles and bicycle-stoppers in a parking area at the hospital is modified.
* The outlook of the hospital is entirely changed.
* Many changes are in shots of [[Charlotte]]'s labyrinth. Some shot in the labyrinth are entirely changed.
* In the labyrinth, colors of Sayaka, [[Madoka]], Mami and [[Homura]] are normal. In the broadcast version, they are vivid, dark and purplish, or Homura's colors are faint.
* Yellow glow from Homura-binding Mami's ribbons is reduced.
* Homura binded by Mami's ribbon is redrawn.
* Just before Mami's transformation, her ring is shining brightly.
* Mami's transformation is redrawn.
* Saying “I'm not afraid of anything anymore,” Mami is standing upright instead of bending her knee.
* Many shots of Charlotte 1st form are redrawn. Her eyes are turquoise like [[:File:Card Charlotte.png|her witch card]] instead of black.
* The shot of Mami just before bitten is redrawn. She seems to be less surprised and not to understand what has happened.
* When Homura bombs Charlotte secondary, dessert-bombs are thrown to her from all sides.
* The production error Homura is in her magical girl costume after de-transformation to her school girl uniform is corrected.
* Charlotte's grief seed has a black interior when Homura picks it up, and it no longer looks like some sort of soul gem-grief seed hybrid.

== [[Episode 4]] ==
The original version premiered on MBS on January 27.

First webcast of the episode was on Nico Nico Douga on February 2. Little is known about that version of the episode, since the web videos are not viewable outside Japan.

=== AT-X/Blu-ray version ===
Episode 4 has been broadcast on AT-X on April 23. A heavily modified version of the episode was shown - the same version seems to have been released as part of DVD/Blu-ray Volume 2 on May 25. This version of the episode features numerous updates:
* [[Kyousuke]]'s bed is modified, featuring new bed-head design.
* Several shots in the pre-OP sequence are lit differently. Most notably, closeups of [[Sayaka]] are now not shaded, as the sunlight is behind her. Shots of [[Kyousuke]], both while him doing his rehabilitation, and during a flashback, are darker.
* In the original version, in the middle of [[Madoka]]'s line ''"I'm grateful I can eat Papa's delicious breakfast"'', there was a cut to a shot of the whole family. In the revised version, closeup shot of Madoka lasts until the end of that scene.
* During [[Madoka]], [[Sayaka]] and [[Hitomi]]'s walk to school, lighting is darker in shots from the side.
* The English lesson on the whiteboard is different. It contains sentences iii and iv, rather than the sentences i and ii that appeared in the original version.
* A zoom-in shot of [[Homura]] during classes is redrawn (her left eye is now visible) and the zooming is slower.

* [[Mami]]'s emptied apartment's nameplate and the apartment itself has been updated, making it much more full and cozy, to keep it in line with what's seen in [[Episode 10]].

* In the closeup shot of [[Madoka]], tops of buildings on her sides are removed.

* The bottles with the cleaning products are now clear steel canisters, with no label, both in the warehouse and in Madoka's flashback.

== [[Episode 9]] ==
The original version premiered on MBS on March 3.

== [[Episode 10]] ==
The original version premeried on MBS on March 10. Next day was the [[wikipedia:2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Great East Japan Earthquake]], causing the episode not to be aired on TBS and starting the six-week-long hiatus for the series.
=== Webcast version ===
This version premiered on Nico Nico Douga on March 16. It features several updates compared to the original broadcast.
* When [[Madoka]] and [[Mami]] attack [[Izabel]] in her barrier, the original version has highly stylized black-and-white blobs. The revised version show more detailed laser beams.
* One of the shots of [[Walpurgis Night]] in Timeline 1 is mirrored, compared to the original version.
* [[Kyubey]] is removed from the scene when [[Madoka]] becomes a witch in Timeline 2.
* The color scheme of the aforementioned Madoka's transformation into a witch is reversed - it was a white energy blob and black lightning in the original version, but it's a dark energy blob and a white lightning in the revised version.
* During the battle with [[Oktavia von Seckendorff]] in Timeline 3, her full name (in runes) is shown. In the original version, only "Oktavia von" is readable: "Seckendorff" was misplaced off-screen, as seen by the tips of the O, R and F runes at the bottom edge of the screen.
* Spots of grief in one of Homura's shots when she's making a promise to protect Madoka are timed differently.
* Two first shots of [[Roberta]]'s barrier are discolored.
* [[Kriemhild Gretchen]]'s name in Timeline 4 is shown (in runes).
* A big tree is seen next to the platform where [[Homura]] and [[Kyubey]] stand after Madoka's transformation.
* [[Homura]] is seen walking through the "tunnel of time" in shots where she was walking just on a dark background in the original version.

Below is a screenshot comparison between the original broadcast version (left) and the webcast revision (right) of the episode:

=== TBS/CBC version ===
The series went off hiatus and finished on April 21 on MBS and TBS, and on April 24 on CBC. Since TBS and CBC haven't shown Episode 10 until then, all three episodes were shown one after another on these stations.

The version of Episode 10 aired then features few further revisions:
* Several shots (especially those featuring explosions and magical attacks) are slightly darker.
* When [[Madoka]] is guiding [[Homura]] to the nurse's office in Timeline 1, shots showing windows when they are walking near solid walls are corrected to show solid walls instead.
* The first shot of [[Walpurgis Night]] in Timeline 1 is mirrored as well.
* The far shot of [[Walpurgis Night]] features the witch lit darker than in previous revisions.
* When [[Homura]] first sees her [[Soul Gem]] in Timeline 2, the shot of her hand is dimmed to the bottom left corner.
* Before [[Homura]]'s introduction in Timeline 2, a shot of the school's front gate is shown instead of a generic image of the glass building.
* The rain is heavier during [[Homura]]'s practice with golf club.
* The time stops a little later in this scene, showing the moment the rain fall stops.
* In another shot of this scene, a rain droplet is added in front of the camera.
* Inside of [[Patricia]]'s skirt has a bug pattern to it.
* [[Kriemhild Gretchen]]'s Grief Seed is filled black instead of being translucent. Moreover, it stays on Madoka's hand instead of floating in the air.
* [[Oktavia von Seckendorff]] is shown moving just before the explosion that kills her. In earlier revisions, a still picture of her was shown.
* Black spots in one of [[Homura]]'s shots at the end of Timeline 3 are revised again. They are now bigger and less transparent.
* [[Madoka]]'s Soul Gem is fixed in one of her shots during the same scene.
* When [[Homura]] approaches [[Madoka]] in Timeline 4, the light is turned on in Madoka's room.
* The rotating platform Homura is standing on during the fight with [[Roberta]] is discolored in the first shot, so is her cage and the shot when it explodes. The entire [[Roberta]]'s barrier is more stuffed, with more familiars, and precious jewels: mainly diamonds and rubies.
* The aforementioned explosion is brighter and has a glow effect to it.
* The shot in which [[Homura]] appears before [[Madoka]] in Timeline 5 is darker.

== [[Episode 11]] ==
The original version premiered on MBS and TBS on April 21, together with Episode 12.

=== Webcast version ===
Internet distribution of Episode 11 started on Nico Nico Douga on April 24. This version features few additional shots edited or not shown in the original broadcast, probably as a form of self-restraint censorship:
* Several shots in the shelter were added which are omitted in the original broadcast. One of them shows a replica of a satellite map made after the [[wikipedia:2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|2011 Touhoku Earthquake]].
* A closeup shot of [[Homura]]'s leg broken under a rock have its shadow (propably as a form of censorship) removed.

Below is a gallery of some of the shots added in this revision:

== [[Episode 12]] ==
The original version premiered on MBS and TBS on April 21, together with Episode 11.

== [[Connect|Opening sequence]] ==
The original version of the opening sequence was used only in the broadcast versions of first two episodes. Later releases feature slightly modified versions of it.

=== Episode 3–4 version ===
The original broadcast of Episode 3 was the debut of a significantly reworked version of the opening sequence, featuring following revisions:
* The background of the first shots is in significantly fainter colors (Some fans assume less yellow represents [[Mami]]'s disappearance). Patterns of falling colored circles are changed.
* The first title logo is not shading off.
* [[Madoka]]'s transformation now occurs within a spherical bubble. The background of the scene is now a darker shade of yellow and features more runes, now animated.
* The transformation animation itself now features more visual effects, which are also brighter.
* [[Kamijou]]'s hair is light brown instead of silver.
* In the shot with umbrellas, the ground's paint pattern is different.
* Zoom-upping [[Madoka]] is added a filter.
* In the scene of [[Madoka]] running through the city, she is running faster, exploring more areas. There are more walls visible, though, and the sky is darker.
* In a subsequent shot, there is more contrast, and another fence is added before the camera.
* The beam of light next to the skyscraper resembling the Burj Khalifa is more visible and reaches higher.
* Subsequent shot of [[Madoka]] is darker.
* The shot of the moon (showing names of the show and the episode) is much brighter, but the colors are fainter.
* The final shot of [[Sayaka]], [[Drama CD 1#Trivia|Amy]], [[Madoka]], [[Kyubey]] and [[Mami]] is brighter and the camera zooms out faster.

=== Episode 5, 7–9 version ===
This version is almost identical to the episode 3's version. The differences are:
*The color of rain smudges on Madoka's window in the shot featuring her in bed.
*[[Madoka]]'s sheet and [[Kyubey]] has different forms in some shots of her bed.
*Umbrellas are shaded as if they are 3DCG models.
*The shot of stepping [[Madoka]] from the underside is totally re-animated, most notably, her petticoat is more ruffled.
*[[Homura]] and [[Madoka]]'s close-ups in the sunset town are re-animated, most notably, Madoka's bunches are longer.
<gallery>
File:Op ep5.jpg|On the top is the episode 3 version. The bottom is how this shot looks in episode 4 onwards.
</gallery>

=== Episode 6 version ===
This version was used only in broadcasted Episode 6. By contrast, on webcasts the common (Episode 5's) version is used.

It differs from the more common version in the far shot of [[Madoka]]'s transformation, which now features
* A background in alternating colors instead of static yellow.
* Madokas move their bodies instead of being upright.
Subsequent closeup shots are left unchanged.
<gallery>
File:Op ep6 vs ep5.jpg|Screenshot on the top is from Episode 5, on the bottom from Episode 6. Note that the bottom screenshot is zoomed in and cropped.
</gallery>
=== Episode 10–11 version ===
This version is identical to the version used in episodes 5 and 7 through 9, except that the final shot now features [[Homura]] and [[Kyouko]].

Note that in [[Episode 10]], the usual opening sequence is used as the ending sequence (the episode lacks a proper opening sequence), and thus features a different credits roll.

<gallery>
File:Ep10-ending-group.jpg
</gallery>

=== Blu-ray version ===
The version used on Blu-ray releases (and available in a credits-free version on Blu-ray Volume 1) is very similar to the one used in the broadcast version of [[Episode 6]]. There are some further changes, however:
* Closeup shots of Madoka's transformation scene now feature multi-colored background, like the first shot, and the biggest rune chain now casts a shadow.
* Madokas when her clothing appears in her transformation are redrawn. Her petticoat is shorter then her thighs are barer, and it is more ruffled like the later shot from the underside.
* The subsequent scene, where Madoka is running through the city, is now brighter, and feature shading on Madoka's drawing instead of flat-filled colors seen in previous versions.

{{spoilers}}

This article contains speculation and analysis based on information from or about the creative staff. It serves as a speculation and observation section for [[Translated Official Documents]] as well as a place for analysis of story elements and the show's design based on the creative staff's intentions, methods, and history.

| From an animation point of view, were there specific instructions from Shinbo or Inu Curry?
|-
! Yukihiro Miyamoto Series Director
|Shinbo would say something on the drawings on the layout and the situation design, like "I want here to be like this". But he did not say much about the personality of the characters. He only said "A character that killed other people cannot get a happy end".

|It can be interpreted as both ways in the scenario, so Hanokage-san interpreted it as if they're killed in her manga version.
|}
[[File:Sayaka-transform-train.jpg|right|250px|Sayaka in the train scene.]]
Madoka's world bears a strong sense of karma with regard to murder. The creators ensure that it does not go unpunished. Sayaka, who killed the two men on the train, could not escape her fate. Although the anime and manga disagree on whether she did so, under the "Schroedinger's Sayaka" principle, she must be treated as if she did in order to keep both interpretations viable. Even in Madoka's recreated world, she sacrifices herself and loses Kyousuke to Hitomi.

Ironically, the only magical girls who did not kill another magical girl before she became a witch were Kyouko and Sayaka, even though Kyouko and Sayaka attacked each other with intent to kill.

Since the other girls received relatively happy endings, there must be an exception applying in their cases. It may be that magical girls, being liches bound to soul gems, are already effectively dead and destroying them does not count as "killing other people." It is also possible that the rule is not absolute, and those who kill for the sake of protecting others are exempt from the consequences. Mami killed Kyouko to save her from becoming a witch, Homura killed Madoka for the same reason at Madoka's request, and Madoka killed Mami both to put Mami out of her misery and to save Homura's life. Another possible explanation is that this karma only applies to the same timeline the killing happened in.

|-
|Since the "character that killed other people" quote relies on a single source and the original Japanese text (from an [[Megami_Magazine_2011-04 | April Megami interview]]) is unidentified, it is possible that translation issues are interfering with interpretation of the quote.

|So here are my defendant's claims… Regarding the question "what's with that wholesome scenario writer?", in actuality, we had this idea of hiding the scenario writer's name until the broadcast started, but the plan failed since the staff list was leaked back in the early spring. But the director still wanted to surprise the viewers... So I thought it would be bad if everyone could 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. Okay, that took a big load off my mind. Thank you everyone who kept up until today! I'm going back to the normal Urobuchi from now on!
|-
!Gen Urobuchi
|If the “expectation” has a sense of direction, this is almost the same as “prediction”. And that is what I would like to disappoint if possible. The feeling for “I want to surprise them” is strong inside me.
|}
[[File:Old_website.jpg|thumb|220px|The official site's original look]]
The production team conspired to hide the true nature of the work from fans and present it as a cute, happy mahou shoujo anime. They attempted to conceal Gen Urobuchi's involvement. The [[Teasers and Commercials]] advertizing the show, as well as the original website, were misleading.

Dedicated fans still uncovered the truth when the staff list was leaked in 2ch on April 1, 2010, and Urobuchi was identified as the writer. Viewers familiar with his visual novels wisely nicknamed the show "Chidamari Sketch" (Pool of Blood Sketch), suggesting that it would be a twisted and gory version of character designer Ume Aoki's Hidamari Sketch.

Urobuchi denied this and attempted to salvage the plan. When [[Episode 3]] aired and Mami demonstrated that the show was headed into dark territory, Urobuchi admitted the truth and apologized for the deception. Some fans welcomed the new development, but others were still shocked like the production team had hoped.

In one notorious case, an Amazon user review gave the show a 1 star rating: "I recommended this to my niece over New Year's because of the cute character designs. Today I got an angry phone call from my sister and mother saying that she was frightened and depressed after watching the latest episode. I'm now banned from my parents' place. My niece won't speak to me. Everyone, be careful of the cute designs!" 97 out of 480 users found this review helpful, and there has been some debate over whether it was serious.

[[File:Madokamercy.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Madoka saving a magical girl's soul]]
==Healing-type Writing==

{|class="wikitable" style="width=100%;"
|-
! width=120 | Gen Urobuchi
|It's time to recognize me as a healing-type writer.
|}

Before Episode 3 aired, Urobuchi claimed on twitter that he had become a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Iyashikei healing-type writer (iyashikei)]. This turned out to be rather misleading, and he later apologized for deceiving fans.

Upon reading the Fate/Zero Volume 1 Postface (copied below), "healing" takes on a new meaning. The postface indicates that one of Urobuchi's goals in writing Madoka was to explore how to write a happy ending within the confines of the logic and ruleset of a dark, unforgiving world. He took up the following challenge:

{|class="wikitable" style="width=100%;"
|-
! width=120 | Gen Urobuchi in Fate/zero vol. 1 postface
|Therefore, in order to write a perfect ending for a story you have to twist the laws of cause and effect, reverse black and white, and even possess a power to move in the opposite direction from the rule of the universe. Only a heavenly and chaste soul that can sing carols of praise towards humanity can save the story. To write a story with a perfect ending is a double challenge to the author's body and soul. Gen Urobuchi had lost that power. It still hasn't recovered. The 'tragedy syndrome' is still continuing within me. Is this a terminal disease? Should I give up on the pure 'warrior of love' that I've longed for?
|}

That turned out to be an exact blueprint for Madoka's ending. Madoka appears to be an attempt to overcome that "tragedy syndrome" by proving to himself that it's possible to have a self-consistent and natural happy ending to an Urobuchi story cruel enough to deserve the title "Chidamari Sketch" (Pool of Blood Sketch). In other words, this might be, in a way, a "healing" story, but from the author's perspective rather than the audience's.

==Which Truth?==

{|class="wikitable" style="width=100%;"
|-
! width=120 | Gen Urobuchi
|To tell the truth, the production of the Madoka anime was temporary stopped once the scenario was finished, however Hanokage's manga still continued. So the rough sketch of the manga was done before the storyboard. It's amusing if you compare the manga and anime, as they're divergences from a single scenario
|-
! width=120 | Gen Urobuchi
|Main element of the story is how everyone from a different standpoint understands each other.
|-
! width=120 | Akiyuki Shinbo
|I did not want to show cruel scenes; I wanted to show the feeling of those people who had to face those situations.
|-
! width=120 | Gen Urobuchi
|...Shinbo-san got attached to Sayaka and I got the request that “could something be done in the final episode to bring her back to life?”. For me, it was “That's enough.” (lol) In “Madoka” Sayaka is a character who would be a problem [to the story] if she was brought back to life...
|}
[[Image:MamiVsHomu.png|thumb|200px|Who's the abuser in this dysfunctional relationship?]]
The story focuses on exploring how characters psychologically react to their circumstances, are shaped by their experiences, and come to understand one another (or fail to do so). The multiple timelines and storytelling techniques used show characters and events from several different perspectives and allow for various interpretations. As a result, the truth is sometimes ambiguous and dependent on one's point of view.

The anime and manga sometimes follow contradictory interpretations of the original scenario, as shown in [[Manga differences]]. Urobuchi intentionally left the issue of whether Sayaka killed the men on the train undecided. Doing so requires that the creators be careful to preserve "Schroedinger's Sayaka": Sayaka both did and did not kill the men, so all other aspects of the story must be compatible with both possible realities. According to Shinbo's rule that killers cannot receive happy endings, she must be punished, even though Shinbo himself believes she didn't kill.

This juggling act goes hand in hand with the effort to characterize the girls consistently across widely varying timelines. For example, Mami's behavior when dealing with Homura in the early episodes had to be written with her violent breakdown in Timeline 3 in mind. When she tried to intimidate Homura, was Mami on the verge of attempting murder, or was she just bluffing? Which did Homura believe? Which would the viewer believe on the first viewing, or upon rewatching after seeing Episode 10?
[[File:KyubeyIsEvil.png|thumb|left|200px|Working to save the universe, or humanity's evil enemy?]]
The dialogue and events of the first nine episodes appear very different when viewed through the lens of Homura's past. Lines that once seemed innocent turn into cruel mockery. By experiencing the same events from different points of view, the audience is better able to understand the characters' feelings and motivations.

Rather than simply writing characters off as "bad guys," viewers are forced to question their own assumptions about what they believe to be "the truth" when characters fight amongst themselves and behave badly for good reasons. The black-and-white worldview that divides most children's shows about magical heroes into good guys and bad guys is attacked both within and outside of the story. Sayaka attempts to follow that philosophy but fails miserably, and members of the audience who try to do the same will fare no better.

== Design Check ==

|-
! width=120 | Ume Aoki on Mami
|Her twisty, curly hair and floral hairpin make her seem like a big sister. Also, I gave her pretty big boobs. Mami’s design was definiely centered around her image as a gunner. The second thing that stands out are her breasts.
|-

|By the way, Homura-chan's normal clothes are the ones you see on the color page. I couldn't think of what she'd wear so I just let my lust guide me on that one.
|}

[[File:Ume meet Urobuchi.jpg|thumb|right|100px|We suspect this is an accurate depiction]]
In order to maximize the contrast between the dark storyline and the bright, cute facade, even some of the show's staff were mislead into thinking they would be working on a normal mahou shoujo anime.

[[Ume Aoki]], the artist famous for the heartwarming and happy Hidamari Sketch, was hired as the character designer. To ensure a convincing positive image, the true nature of the story was hidden from her until after the initial character designs had been completed. This unconventional tactic succeeded: Ume poured her heart into the design of her favorite Madoka character, [[Mami Tomoe]], only to discover later that this masterpiece would be killed off in the third episode. Mami became exceptionally popular with fans.

{|class="wikitable" style="width=100%;"
|-
! width=120 | Emiri Katou Kyubey's Voice Actress
|I'd be happy if everyone stopped bullying Kyubey so much *tear*, okay?
|}
The voice actresses were also deceived. Kyubey's VA, Emiri Katou, believed she would be voicing a traditional, friendly, helpful magical mascot and attempted to present Kyubey in a sympathetic light until the bitter end.

[[File:Kyokosayaka.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yuupon's Nitro+ blog sketch of Kyouko and Sayaka]]
Although Ume's work is usually thought of as pure and wholesome, the artist herself isn't quite so innocent. Several quotes reveal a fixation on [[Mami's mammies|Mami's boobs]], and her Madoka doujin RKGKMDK features yuri shipping of her own characters and a revelation that lust served as inspiration. Perhaps this perspective allows her work to appeal to fans in certain ways without resorting to the out-of-character fanservice or undue pandering that is common in the anime industry.

Madoka has become very popular among yuri fans. See the [[Yuri undertones]] article for further details.

Considering various staff members' histories and unofficial artwork, there's little question that the story was designed to allow fans of yuri to enjoy such an interpretation. However, it has not been made explicitly canon, so the issue was most likely purposefully left open-ended, much like the question of whether Sayaka killed the men on the train. Those who wish to interpret the girls' relationships as simple friendships are able to do so.

4Gamer: We want to know more about what will happen to “Madoka Magika”. To be blunt, will it be a 2nd season?

Urobuchi：　It would be great if we could have one.

4Gamer：　Wow.... we surely wait in expectation! Does it mean that there is in fact some hidden advance hint in the last scene where Homura went to face the maju's in the wilderness?

Urobuchi：　No, in fact I did not think of anything there. That was the result of various excessive overworks coming out from the staged animation (lol). In the screenplay, that scene was only put as “not in Japan”. As many have also observed, that is also a homage to “Blade”. The image was something like “The battle goes on... Homura, on to the world!”, and I was surprised that it generated all these researches. There is even a theory saying that “there is no doubt that she is the last surviving mahou shoujo!” and I think “Eh, what is that!?” (lol)

Urobuchi – For me if I consider the “hidden history” in my life which had the impact of causing influence in my creation I remember when I was 24 I got sick and almost died. I contracted some epidemic and had fever. It got so dangerous that if the treatment had been delayed I could have died. What I could not forget is the feeling I had when I was in recuperation. Although I did not suffer grave wounds or anything like that, well, I felt that I was in a way erased from the society then. I could not get away from the feeling that I was just like a dead man. What I felt during that time is very much alive even now in my works.

Uno - So the fact that so often the protagonists got near death in your works is linked to that incident. And in every work you took care to build up a feeling that the body is slowly accumulating damages.

Urobuchi – By spending several months living like a dead man, I feel that I obtained something like the “eyesight of the dead”. It was unmistakably a precious experience when I could let my imagination to wander free regarding my death.

...to me it is nothing special at all that she could not come back to life, as this is also the future for the surviving mahou shoujo. Inside myself at the point of the final episode, whether she will be alive or she will be dead – the two are absolute equivalent. Whichever it will go, once the decision to become a mahou shoujo is made, those who were living at that point, like Homura or Kyouko or Mami or Sayaka, will all reach the same fate.

Urobuchi – That much is certainly true. For me, perhaps there is part in my thought that said whatever relationship that could exist between male and female it should also exist between couples of same sex. Inside me, I could not imagine a model in which there is something that absolutely could only exist between male and female. Notwithstanding the extra element of sex, I do not believe male-female relationship is such a special thing among all the different inter-human relationships. Therefore if I really feel like doing, I may even try a melodrama between male couples, something like BL.

== Fate/Zero Volume 1 Postface ==
A translation of the postface by Gen Urobuchi is available [[Fate/Zero_Volume_1_Postface | here]]. In it, he discusses his history as a writer and his thoughts on writing endings.

Urobuchi commented on the relationship between his thoughts while writing Fate/Zero and Madoka in a [[Shinjidai_no_Mixture_Magazine_BLACK_PAST | Black Past interview]].

|Among your works, even if we put side the issue of sexuality, it seems “Fate/Zero” is a turning point. Of the works before it, “Saya no Uta” is a good representative, where we can see a composition in which catharsis is obtained by means by giving priority to personal emotion over social mores when both are present. On the other hand, after “Fate/Zero”, the style is shifted to a direction in which the strength of the story was pulled up and tension was raised by continuously taking in concepts of morals and social responsibilities. The depiction of Kiritsugu Emiya in “Fate/Zero” is typical of this.

|I wrote it in the afterword of “Fate/Zero” too. It was the time when I got so troubled by the fact that as much as I wanted to write a heartwarming story, somewhere in me just could not believe in legitimate happiness but I had to move the work to a happy end, and I almost wanted to hang up my pen. From very beginning, to opt for the individual instead of the world, to affirm his own desire and ambition is to me an absoulte bad-end. If the world should be destroyed then there was no salvation whatsoever left. I think in the past I just picked the escape route by landing the story in way that is a bad-end in a macro perspective but a happy-end from the individual's point of view. However, “Fate/Zero” is a story that had the individuals fallen into misfortune but got the world saved. Perhaps this became the turning point like you said and finally I could write my happy-end. After that, be it “Eisen Fluegel” or “Madoka”, I approached to write works in which the protagonist may face ruin and destruction but to the world it holds a good ending.
