Movic Madoka Magica Exhibit
Summary
MOVIC Promote Service's Madoka Magica Exhibit recreates the environment in the Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime for fans. The display includes three areas: Exhibition, Attractions and Shop. The first thing a visitor may enter is a doorway with Walpurgisnacht reminiscent of the opening scene of episode 1, with Madoka's dream. They can also read a plaque of the story of Madoka.
Upon entering the Exhibition area, they may see the following things on display.
- Portraits of memorable character moments from the anime episodes
- Each magical girl has a gallery of pictures and items on display, as well as a near-life size 3-D figure in a signature pose from the anime.
- For Madoka Kaname, her pose is shooting her bow. Her signature item is Kyubey, whose innocent appearance allows him to blend into Madoka's collection of stuffed animals.
- For Homura Akemi, her pose is as bespectacled Homura in a past time-line, fighting Patricia. Her signature item is a sand-timer, representative of her time-related powers and wish.
- For Mami Tomoe, her pose is shooting her weapon while fighting Charlotte's familiars. Her signature item is a tea-set, an item of comfort for someone who loves tea and the social moments that can accompany it.
- For Kyoko Sakura, her pose is fighting Oktavia, in an attempt to recover Sayaka. Her signature item is apples, representing both her love for food and the gesture of friendship she tried to make towards Sayaka.
- For Sakaya Miki, her pose is fighting Elsa Maria. Her signature item is a violin, representing the boy and the music she made her wish for, to become a magical girl.
In addition to the magical girls, there are also displays for Kyubey and the witches throughout the Exhibition area.
The event's "Attractions" area features games such as using Mami's "Tiro Finale" to shoot Charlotte's familiars or use Sayaka's bat to hit balls at enemies. Those who clear the games can win prizes such as a character stamp or a book.
The Shop includes a wide variety of goods, from clothing to figures to replica weapons. Some items have new designs or are currently not sold through other channels.
The Exhibit is open from December 27 to December 31 at the Sunshine City complex's Culture Hall in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district. It will run from February 10 to February 12 at the Asia and Pacific Trade Center's ATC Hall in Osaka and then from March 20 to March 25 at Nagoya Trade & Industry Center's Fukiage Hall in Nagoya City.
Tickets cost 1,300 yen (US$17) at the door, and visitors receive bonus Soul Gem earphone holders and commemorative booklet.
