Staff Interviews

Shinbo

Akiyuki Shinbo is the Chief Director of the Madoka franchise and SHAFT studio.

  • "I originally wanted to name the first movie 'Revenge of the Incubators'"
  • He touches on how people thought since the whole ring thing was only ever mentioned by Mami, everyone thought it was her being stupid again.
  • "If we can have it (Madoka Magica) continue, I'd like to see that happen."

Gen

Gen Urobuchi is the writer for the Madoka franchise.

Q: What kind of story were you planning to do in the first place?
A: My idea was Homura becoming a witch and her story inside of the barrier. This time the conclusion was supposed to be "Madoka bringing Homura along". I wanted to end the story this time for sure. (laughs) However, both Iwakami-san (producer) and Shinbo-san strongly disagreed and wanted the story to continue. I was wondering how could I do this when Shinbo-san suddenly told me "It may be nice if you make Homura and Madoka enemies". After that I had a breakthrough. I decided to make Homura oppose Madoka.
  • "While the show was still airing Iwagami approached me and asked what I thought about doing a sequel. I just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously but he repeated it several times and I eventually realised he was serious."
  • They came up with the idea for a sequel through brainstorming sessions, and this idea of it taking place inside Homura's soul gem as she starts to become a witch was the first idea they came up with.
  • The big plot twist WASN'T Urobuchi's idea, he was going to have Madoka just take Homura away and the end, but Iwagami and Shinbou wanted to be able to let it continue.
