IF YOU THOUGHT YOU'VE SEEN THEM ALL...THEN YOU CLEARLY HAVEN'T SEEN MADOKA MAGICA YET! The series that rewrote the "Mojocco" (Note: This is a synonym for "Mahou Shoujo" or Magical Girl) genre and that has surprised its public with a plot both convincing and full of surprises, finally available in Italy!

Hidden away in the reaches of this world, there exist the so called "Messengers of Magic", entities imbued with the power to grant a wish to a girl of their choosing. Said girl, however, to be able to do so, has to sign a contract and become a mage. The mages's purpose is to fight against Witches, vile creatures born from curses, the cause of murders and suicides. Two students, Madoka Kaname and her friend Sayaka Miki come in contact with an odd being named Kyube; He offers them an opportunity to become young mages but Homura Akemi, their classmate, will try in every way to prevent them from contracting.

Fan comments note the BD/DVD versions are the ones aired online.
