	#1	Megami Magazine, pre-broadcast	Once it ends, I want [the viewers] to watch again one more time. I want to make it a show that you can enjoy watching 12 episodes straight. There might even be some parts that is not understandable without watching it that way. I think it is fun if you watch it once you know how it ends. You can empathize the characters that way, and you can discover something new by watching it from different viewpoint.	Interview with Akiyuki Shinbo (series director), prior to the show

	#2	Animedia, January 2011	Every word from Homura has meaning. We will deliver a certain theme throughout the series. Mahou shoujo does not equal heroine. It doesn't have to follow the defeating-one-enemy-a-week pattern. Weapons of magical girls and the concept of enemy are different from standard. Each character has a strong attachment to their past or present.	Interview with Atsuhiro Iwakami
