Official Info

  • Doctors, assistants, and nurses of Mitakihara Town's main hospital.
  • The hospital staff are informative and helpful, and they do their best.
  • Tomoko Nakamura and Rumi Ookubo played female nurses in Episode 4 but it is uncertain which plays which. Ookubo played the right nurse in the right figure in Episode 6. Therefore, Nakamura may play the left nurse.

Speculations and Observations

  • Four men who look like the hospital staff appeared in Episode 12 as judges of Kamijou's performance.
    • Since the Production Note mentions Kyousuke being a guitarist before the time loops began, one speculative theory is that someone wished for the violin to have been universally popular in Mitakihara, causing the hospital staff in all subsequent time loops to choose violin judging as a hobby.


Office Lady

See the Episode 12 page for information about the magical girls Madoka saved after making her wish.

Background Extras

  • On the day Homura returns to school, the 25th of either March or May, the weather is warm and sunny enough for the girls to feel comfortable outside in their uniforms, but cool enough that people in the mall after school were wearing long sleeves, jackets, and coats. Cafe patrons in episode 2 also had long sleeves.
  • In episode 5, people on the street are wearing coats, hats, scarves, and mittens. This scene takes place several days before the 12th of the month, in either April or June.
  • In episode 11, everyone in the shelter has long sleeves, but they don't have heavy coats, suggesting warm weather. Evacuation started at 7:30AM. They may have worn long sleeves due to the storm.
