Trivia
- On August 2012, a picture of a magazine article was leaked to the internet, revealing what appears to be a new character for the Madoka movie. It was quickly discovered that the magazine article was actually a fabrication by 2ch to deceive Madoka fans.
- On October 2, 2012 Mezamashi TV aired a feature on the first movie, showing scenes from the movie OP, new music, as well as new backgrounds and transformation sequences.
Observation
- Sayaka gets a new transformation sequence that takes place underwater.
- Sayaka's hair pins are also changed during her transformation, they're now in the shape of a fortissimo sign.
- In Italian, fortissimo means very strong, bright, tough/severe. In the music world, fortissimo is signed as ff and indicates that the piece should be played very loudly.
- Sayaka's face is concealed more often.
- Two of Mami's transformation sequences were changed.
- Mami's room became more lovely and has a loft.
- Kyoko has more variety of food in each scene she is in. She is seen eating green tea and strawberry Pocky in addition to her usual chocolate variety.
- The waffle during her binoculars scene has been replaced with a French cream sandwich cookie.
- The taiyaki she eats as she's fighting Sayaka in Episode 5 has been replaced with a similar bear-shaped pastry.
- The blue ice cream bar she eats at the end of Episode 7 has been replaced with an orange one.
- Snacks are sold around theaters which collaborated by Madoka-Magica and Yaokin who makes "Umai-Bo', that is original of "Ummai-Bo" which Kyoko has.
- SHAFT redraws a lot of the background.
- New Kajiura music
- New Credens Justitiam with the lyrics in Japanese.
- Homura and Madoka sitting on chairs together in an open field. Chairs have a significance with the Madoka animated franchise.

Speculation
- The very last part of the new ending animation features an unknown pink silhouette - most likely that of Ultimate Madoka - with another silhouette that is somewhat smaller and floating inside its belly, or womb (?)
- This has fueled speculation of a pregnancy. In Goethe's Faust, Gretchen was actually pregnant with Faust's baby and she was forced to murder her baby by drowning it.
- There have been hints that the witches will reappear in the new movie in some capacity.
- There have been hints that Madoka Kaname will reunite with Homura Akemi, which probably strengthens the speculation above.
- There are also mentions of Hitomi Shizuki and the word "Nightmare" associated with her, implying that she will play a prominent role in the third movie. How this is related remains to be seen.
- It is speculated that the third movie could be taking place in a different universe.
