I promised goldy I'd do this, so.

My housemate said that he found a package today under the recycling bin at our house's side door. Bad delivery people. But, I knew what was inside the box. Luckily, I didn't get hit with the customs charges stick this time.

Image

No, Kyubey doesn't come with the LE. Unfortunately, yes, that card did come with the release. But now you know how I can afford Aniplex releases.

Image

These postcards are the endcards for each of the episodes and I don't care what anyone says, physical endcards are an awesome extra.

Image

This booklet is full of goodies, including drawings, art, interviews with staff and cast (in this particular volume it was Shinbo, Aoi Yuuki, and Saitou Chiwa), and most importantly...

Image

AOKI UME 4-PANEL STRIPS HELLS YEAH

Image

Here are the disc cases.

Image

And here's what's inside! The left disc is the BD and the right one is the DVD. If you look closely at the lining of the case, it's actually the JP cover art for volume 2 (since we get half the number of volumes they do) and you can somehow crack open the case to flip it over.

Image

Here's the menu.

Image

Here's the Magia PV. It's an extra. Yay, Kalafina!

Image

You'll recall that the ED for the first two episodes was, well, nothing. They've used Madoka's character song (which was an extra in the JP LE vol 1 BD).

Glad you finally saved it from the recycling bin/got it in the mail, Blkmage! All the extras that came with it seem well worth the money~ I'm jelly of those endcards. O:

Your kyuubey plushie peaking over the end of the screen. D8

Pictures of the next LE volume are up, looks like they're throwing in another poster instead of the stickers this time. Otherwise, it looks like the same deal as last time.

I've joined the Madoka Party late. I just finished the 12th episode! :D
I was a little confused as to exactly what had happened at the end. For example, that part where
SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Sayaka and Madoka were watching that boy play the violin? I just didn't get how Sayaka was there. For a moment I thought she had come back to life, then I realised she hadn't :( But I still don't get how she was there...Also, apparently because she made such a wish she no longer ever existed on the earth?? That's a little sad, even though she's kind of omnipresent now...
still, even though the ending was a little confusing, I think it was fairly well done, and it was happy instead of dark :)
Also, I felt so sad when SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Sayaka became a witch and Kyoko died. I knew it was coming, but I had just became very attached to Kyoko T.T

Also, All through the series I was waiting for the significance of that little black cat to be revealed. I was going to complain about that here untill I found out from a previous link to a drama CD...still, I was disappointed that the cat didn't appear in the show...
Awesome anime! There were some parts in there where I got really sad and it hurt too much for tears :'( But I'm glad it had a happy ending!
I can't wait till the films come out! :D

Also, Kyuubey was throughout the show a great source of both lulz and creepyness. I laughed so hard when he said
SPOILER: Highlight text to read: If you ever feel like dying for the universe, just call us! We'll be waiting!
And at the end
SPOILER: Highlight text to read: When he was talking to Homura, and he was expressing admiration for the plan of making witches, and Homura said "Well, our relations with you were much worse"

Explanation in spoiler:

[spoiler]Madoka's wish was to defeat all witches, past, present and future. So the universe rewrote itself so that now when Sayaka turned, Madoka was there to save her. Madoka just let Sayaka see the boy she loved living his dream like she wished for because they were best friends.[/spoiler]

I'm only on ep 6 so I probably should have avoided this thread to prevent spoilers but I'm going to anyway. I got my friend into this too. Episode 3, he said "I saw that coming."
Heads up, I don't go on this site much these days...

I don't know if anyone else here is a fan of Mark Reads/Mark Watches, but vey soon he'll be writing his awesome episode-by-episode reactions to Puella Magi Madoka Magica!

(warning: site is awesome, but there is some strong language including f-bombs. Read and watch at your own discretion.)

I'm starting to get irritated with this a bit. I'm not sure why you need to add more onto this story.

I'm supposing it's the same reason they need to keep adding onto/redoing Evangelion. *shrug*

Don't you go dissing Rebuild of Eva miss! (More seriously speaking, I'm looking forward your review of them at goinginblindly. Please let me know when you do.) :)

For those interested, the first two movies of Madoka have already been released in Japan. The first one is a "director's cut" of the first 8 episodes of the series (emphasis in "cut": no material is added, just cut in the name of better pacing and cinematic language.) The second movie is simply episodes 9 to 12 without cuts or additions beyond an alternative ending after the credits.

The third movie (and beyond?) will be original content.

Third Movie Trailer leaked.

Watching the trailer my guess is they can definitely manage to do a sequel of sort using alternate realities and timespace stuff. Tatami Galaxy style.

The two Madoka movies earned more than a billion yen.
Gaining that much money from two movies with barely any new material compared to the main series is pretty impressive.

Shaft must be swimming in money at this moment.

It took a while, but I found the trailer:
Here's the Trailer for the Third Movie.

EDIT: Sooooo Sorry. I linked the wrong video. I posted the correct one now.

Oh, and the lines that get their subtitles at the top cut off are something like "Isn't that Hitomi's nightmare?" and "Isn't that what you described to me before, a Witch or something?"

Haruhi brought the universe (The bringer of worlds)
Rei brought the human race (the great Mother.)
Lain brought the connection & comunication between humanity (The all-seeing one)
Madoka brought hope (The Light of Hope)


And therefore let us pray,

Our Madokami in heaven,
hallowed be Her name.
Your cakedom come,
Her work be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily pocky,
and forgive us our despair,
as we also have forgiven our griefer.
And lead us not into wishes,
but deliver us from kyubey.

Homu.
