Initial News
Dynit announced on June 21, 2011 of acquiring license for Puella Magi Madoka Magica in Italy. Following this, Dynit announced free online stream of the episodes for Italian residents. These episodes started airing on September 2, 2011 with official subtitles in Italian on Popcorn TV.
Translation of image:
IF YOU THOUGHT YOU'VE SEEN THEM ALL...THEN YOU CLEARLY HAVEN'T SEEN MADOKA MAGICA YET! The series that rewrote the "Majocco" (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, is finally available in Italy!
Hidden away in the reaches of this world, there exists 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 Kyubey. He offers them an opportunity to become young mages but Homura Akemi, their classmate, will try in every way to prevent them from contracting.
The BD/DVD versions are the ones aired online.
Fan Vote for Voice Actors
On September 6 Dynit, along with Animeclick, announced "Voices for Madoka Magica", where the fans would have the choice to vote for voice actors for the main cast. It was split in two rounds: Nominations from September 7 till September 19 and voting pools from September 23 till October 2. Results were revealed on the following day, October 3:
