It already premiered about a day ago or so. Some kind Japanese Anon already offered a write up of the most notable things. Here it is:
-------
Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Beginning Story
I watched this yesterday and want to write down my observation and thoughts, just for your curiosity. Excuse me for my poor English though, it’s not my mother tongue.
Also, SPOILER WARNING
First of all;
1) They said it was going to be a recap. I say, SHINBO THE MASTER TROLLER. Every scenes have got certain changes-more or less-and, as far as I remember, all nearly all of the highlights scenes have been REDRAWN. It’s not merely a recap; I would call it a complete overhaul.
2) Those changes are so significant that, even though I had recently watched Madoka all over again-for my fourth time-on Niconico last week, it just felt like a completely new anime. If you haven’t watched Madoka for a while, I guarantee, it will be just as fresh as it was in 2011.
Story
1) There are not many changes or differences and most of them seem to be insignificant. I recognized some changes in the order of certain scenes, probably to join all the separate episodes together into a single continuing piece.
2) The first part, as it was revealed earlier in the morning, covers the first 8 episodes; it ends with ‘I’m such a fool’ and that god damn Kyubey lecturing us about the meaning of mahout-shojo.
Scenes
1) Apparently, there are few scenes that have been cut out, like the one with Madoka in a cafe asking Homura if she could help Sayaka. The dialogue itself seems to be absorbed into the other scene on the school’s roof. The scene where Sayaka makes her contract is also made very brief, with no dialogue at all.
2) There are four transformation sequences; new ones each for Sayaka and Kyoko, TWO FOR MAMI. They are of course much better than the ones on the TV series. Sayaka’s transformation takes place underwater and clearly resembles that of the little mermaid, or maybe her fate. Kyoko performs a nice dance with her spear while transforming, if you know what I mean.
3) It shows Mami’s Soul Gem getting shattered into pieces when Charlotte does MOGUMOGU. The entire sequence -Mami vs Charlotte- has actually become a little bit more crual, although I can’t explain why and how. Maybe because the way Charlotte moves, or it could be something about that new soundtrack.
4) For those who are concerned about all those beautiful shaft necks; rejoice. You can enjoy those nice angles of 90 degrees on the huge cinema screen.
5) THAT INU-CURRY WORLD FILLING THE ENTIRE CINEMA SCREEN.
6) The very last part of the new ending animation features an unknown pink silhouette -most likely that of Godoka- with another silhouette that is somewhat smaller and floating inside its belly, or womb?
Music
1) This is where I'm giving the most credit. Kajiura has once again done a magnificent job. I just can’t imagine the Madoka universe anymore without her works.
2) There are a number of new soundtracks; including the other two of which I haven't even heard so far. There are three -so far as I’ve counted- newly rearranged Sis Puella Magica(the main theme), two for Conturbatio(the Sayaka theme); one of those is a vocal version and played during the Sayaka vs Elsa Maria. It sounds something like an aria -like one from opera-makes the scene even more tragic. It is so heart breaking.
3) Credens Justitiam also has got a vocal version, definitely by Kalafina. You can assume how much Shaft cares about Mami.
4) The Homura vs Charlotte battle has got a new soundtrack, as well as the scene where Sayaka turns into a witch ;_; If you prefer Decretum, you might be a bit disappointed, although the new soundtrack is just as amazing.
5) EVEN WITCHES HAVE GOT THEIR OWN THEME SOUNDTRACK. Both Charlotte and Television-chan. the Charlotte theme is pretty nice. You can hardly wait for the release of the new soundtrack. I think there is one for Elsa Maria as well, but not sure if it was just the vocal version of Conturbatio which I have just mentioned above.
6) The ending theme is the movie arrange of Magia, at the full length. The new ending animation is, put it simply, an extended version of the original TV one, featuring silhouettes of several unknown magical girls before those of the main characters appear in the way like they did in the original one.
Trivia
1) They're now studying in a cathedral. I'm not even joking.
2) Mitagihara City now looks more urbanized then even NYC. Must be renamed St.Madokaburg or something.
3) Mrs Kaname is just as bro as she is in the TV series.
4) The teacher is still struggling with fertility stuff. No peace for poor Nakazawa-kun.
5) For the first time, they say, Madoka appears in a plain clothe! Remember that previously in the TV serious she shows only three types of outfit; school uniform, magical girl’s dress, and pajama.

Revision as of 18:05, 7 October 2012

Huh. The subtitles for these films are, uh, unexciting. Are they going to go ahead with a "Story" motif for the third film's title? If so, maybe they'll go with something as pompous as "The Greatest Story Ever Told." (Of course, with no Swedish Jesus in sight ;-).) Animerican-Redeemed 06:21, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

I thought it was pretty nice that they name the first film "The Beginning Story". --0x99 08:50, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

The movie is going to be a simultaneous release, any idea how long is the duration? Something tells me hardcore fans will try to watch both of them together on the same day--Mutopis 09:40, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Differences, Quality

Madoka Magica Films' Ad Aired With New Theme by ClariS

A 30-second commercial began airing for the first two Puella Magi Madoka Magica films on Saturday, and it features the new theme song "Luminous" by the teenaged female duo ClariS. (yep, new song) --Mutopis 10:35, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

  • Movie version diff.jpg

the movie version quality will be different than the tv and blu-ray. are we going to add a new subsection for that? --Mutopis 10:35, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Mezamashi TV just aired a feature this morning with clips from the movies that features a fancied up transformation sequence for both Sayaka and Mami (as well as completely new material). Screens can be found here in case the YT link gets taken down.--ren 23:53, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Movie Premiere

Is anyone is going to go or can go? If so, would anyone like to take notes or pics so it can be contributed to the wikia? --Mutopis 02:29, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

I plan on going to the NYC one, so I'll try to take notes if I can. No guarantees on pictures. --CrownClown 02:31, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
I'm going to the San Francisco one and don't mind taking photos/notes. --ren 05:34, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Movie Premiere in Japan

Has the movie premiered yet in Japan? (I get a bit confused by the time difference) If so, is there any news out? --Silvermoon424 16:02, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

It already premiered about a day ago or so. Some kind Japanese Anon already offered a write up of the most notable things. Here it is:
