The first animated Madoka Magica work since Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion, it features the return of the full Madoka Magica cast and staff. According to SHAFT CEO Kubota, the concept movie will be the core of a new Madoka Magica project, and serves as its trailer.

[絶望の魔女]#12。その性質は強訴。力尽きた全ての魔法少女と叶うことがなかった全ての希望の代弁者。この宇宙を書き換える希望が生まれると同時に絶望の泥より生まれ。果てしなき悲鳴をその身に詰めて膨らみ続ける空気人形。魔法少女の因果が回る限り、この魔女は途方もない大きさまで膨らみ続け、やがてはその身体で銀河すらも圧し潰してしまうだろう。

TypeThe Witch of Despair
NaturePetition
EpisodesMadogatari

The Witch of Despair (#12). Her nature is direct petition. The mouthpiece for all the unfulfilled hopes of all spent magical girls. If a hope is born that can rewrite the universe, then at the same time, it is born from the mud of despair. Everlasting wailing fills her body, a continuously swelling, empty doll.
At the end of a magical girl’s karma, this witch continues to swell to absurd sizes. And in the end, her body could even destroy the galaxy.

Trivia

Production Note, Image Note, page 115
  • Studio SHAFT often begin an anime production with a single "image board" to capture the mood and atmosphere of an anime. Kubota describes this concept movie as an "extravagant" animated image board for the future Madoka Magica project.
  • Madoka's ballet solo was based on "The Dying Swan," originally choreographed by Mikhail Fokine in 1905.
  • Kubota compares Mami's role to Guan Yu from The Romance of Three Kingdoms.
  • The Witch of Despair was a planned form of Kriemhild Gretchen in the original TV series.
