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.
