Also a 100 question survey filled out by Madoka. Mostly concerning mundane things -- what do you wear when you go to bed, are you left-handed or right-handed, have you ever been confessed to, etc. Still would be nice if more of these could come out with different characters.

>Madoka will not transfrom the whole show >I'd more read it as a "does not" as that would be a lot less spoilerific thing to say, with the entire sentence being "A Mahou Shoujo where the main character does not transform".
>Please first just watch episode 10. You'll see Homura in a much better light. And for any viewers out there who have been recording the whole thing, please watch the first episode before episodes 11 and 12. It'll totally look like two completely different shows. I think that's pretty cool. It's as if the first time you watched it you were completely fooled. But the good kind of fooled...maybe. Please watch all the way to the end. And set the bar high. This show will definitely surpass that.
The title of the last picture is - Madoka telling Madoka "I want to help you"...
It's just Shinbo saying that he wanted Kyuubey to look cute, but the staff members made him look scary.
According to Quarterly S magazine April 2011 issue, director Shinbo Akiyuki said he wants to produce a spin-off of Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica. He thinks it's wasteful to let the unique characters go after the end of the current series and it's possible to produce a heart warming slice-of-life series where the characters live their lives smiling not crying.

This one is fan-made. Note: I don't know if this helps, but that bug-like thing at the bottom of the first Cross Review scan is called "Infector." It's apparently from the Hellgate series.

Mami's death bordered on guro to drill it into people's head: she's dead, period.

This scan reveals that the swallowing sound Kyuubey made after eating his corpse was an ad-lib.
Urobuchi: I want miyamoto-san to say "Kyuppui" when he finished eating. That was an ad-lib by Kato(Emiri)-san who is voice actor(Seiyu) as Kyubey.
Shinbou: I think Kato-san was also suitable post(voice) (as Kyubey).
Urobuch: It is rare that villain's voice is cute.

I understand who works (around animation) somehow a long time trends(wants) to draw stories among usual days.
Everybody Loves Kyubey
Kyubey, a character surrounded by mysteries whose extraordinary existence casts a shadow over the drama. His backstory seems to play an important role in the story, he gets shot full of holes and toyed around with. Not like a magical girl mascot, is his harsh treatment proof of his popularity? Maybe.- Scan-1302534503749.jpg

May 2011
From Asahi Evening (朝日夕刊) newspaper. Seems to be a column deciphering some story-points. It talks about the girls contracting and then being forced to fight witches and the hidden magical girls equals witches rule. With this as the focal point in the last part of the story it gets its sci-fi twist. There is also something about galges being an influence. It also talks about the character growth. Madoka's mum leaving a strong impression as a working mother and with her rough speech, coming into confrontation with Madoka in ep 11. It relates to episode 1 where her mom choose the ribbons for her, but now she chooses her path for herself. That's also in relation to the episode 3 talk about her mom's lifestyle choice/dream and how she gets satisfaction out of that. There is also a mention of magic star magical emi having a similar theme?
From Lisani! (Listen Anime!) Vol.5. Manga is about Yuuki Aoi (Madoka seiyuu) and Kitamura Eri (Sayaka seiyuu) doing the recording for the scene in Ep.12 when Sayaka finally let go of Kyousuke. KitaEri delivered her words very grudgingly and alarmed Yuuki Aoi. Madoka and Sayaka are wearing the seiyuu's clothing.
Q: Homura looping over and over, the life of magical girls tending towards death and despair, how did this change according to Madoka’s wish? Due to the existence of witches being erased from this world the reason for Mami’s and Kyouko’s death, who got killed by witches, also disappeared; surviving they exist and fight the demons. Sayaka herself becomes a witch instead, as a result of fighting the demons she ceases to exist. Probably there in the other timeline everyone fought Sayaka who became a witch. In the world after the change it becomes a seemingly different development, the four fight the alternate demons and stop them by the means of Sayaka’s sacrifice. I also talked with director Akiyuki Shinbo a fair bit about that nicety. In the end one’s own self doesn’t fade away despairing, but because it fades away using up this power--the converting into a witch is also a different thing. I think, to save the city and helping someone pervaded Sayaka’s wish. If you think so even though Sayaka ceased to exist it might have been blissful, right? Mami, Kyouko and Homura will have the same fate. So Madoka comes for them and takes them along to a different universe. Her one brisk turn, Sayaka...
Regarding the new world, how has Kyouko’s destiny changed? In despair Kyouko voluntarily sealed away her original stance of wanting to help people. She was strong after arming herself with an armor of hopelessness and resignation, but the moment she empathized with Sayaka it crumbled down and she became weak. Kyouko of the renewed world doesn’t have to act tough again. She lives a life with pride, without deprecating herself or giving up from the start. The part of the seiyu comic above is mostly about Nonaka having to do half of her lines mumbling around because of Kyouko's constant eating. Alternative translation - Kyouko had originally wanted to save people, but that feeling turned to despair and she then voluntarily closed herself off from the world. She was certainly strong while wearing the armor known as despair and resignation, but her empathizing with Sayaka became a chink in that armor. With her new world view, she came to realize that even if she didn't put up her tough act around others that she would be fine. She became able to live a life full of pride like she did once before, a life free of self-derision and resignation.
Homura and her hammer space shield. Seems that Gen wasn't really fond giving her only this as weapon, but after seeing the storyboards it seems that he liked the whole pulling machine guns out of nowhere dynamic. The producers also liked it.
A list of groups who worked on the anime with basic biographical information and a staff list. It was written by Gekidan Inu Curry in a very strange, obnoxious style. The sections mainly talk about how the producers are happy to have worked on the show. For example, the director said "My favorite part was when we finally got the show to launch."
Source: Megastore June 2011 interview Gen. Summary translation: The producers wanted Gen to submit a plot with overly brutal killings, and killing them off slowly taking 2-3 episodes...so Gen delivered with that in mind.

"MBS Broadcast Delay of Madoka" phone calls
The poster ID:oq9nsYz30 has only exactly one post made on that day (2ch randomize user ID every midnight); it's likely this one is a troll. Most likely 騎士ヴィスクエア, a famous troll in 2ch anime boards, who samefag on Madoka thread everyday using his mobile phone/P2 account/his PC, posting similar contents. I've removed it until there is any further proof on the topic. Original content is posted below. --0x99 03:21, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Q: The shows suspended due to the earthquake are now being aired one after another, but what's the reason for only this show being in long-term suspension?
A: We weren't told anything more than "it is on suspension due to the effects of the earthquake".
Q: Why hasn't the reason for the long-term suspension been clarified?
A: Unknown. They tell the person in charge of the programming that it's certain that it hasn't been clarified.
Q: Why is the internet distribution also suspended?
A: Unknown. We haven't been told why. I'd like you to inquire the correspondence for such.

A: Unknown. Our inquiry center is told programming broadcast information two weeks ahead, but at this point, they have no plans to air the show in the next two weeks.
Q: Shows broadcasted by satellite are aired after [regular broadcast], but in the case that the suspension continues, is it possible that they'll air it first?
A: Normally that's impossible. In the current state that it can be aired on MBS, if MBS doesn't air it first, internet distribution and satellite broadcast won't happen.
