Magical Girl Madoka is a seminal anime from 2011. What starts as a cute adventure centering on girls with magic power hunting witches evolved into a gripping psychological thriller with elements of cosmic horror. Madoka kicked off the trend of dark deconstructionist magical girl anime but still remains the most beloved and highest quality amongst the show’s many imitators.
The series original 12 episodes were rereleased as two part films then followed up by Magical Girl Madoka The Movie: Part 3 Rebellion. Now the acclaimed series continues in Magical Girl Madoka The Movie: Walpurgisnacht Rising. It’s great to see the return of Gen Urobuchi (Fate Zero) penning the script and hopefully giving these characters the send off they deserve. The yuri romance between Madoka and Homura could possibly be explored more fully in our more progressive climate. Magical Girl Madoka is a series that cemented my love for anime and the magical girl genre. I hope Madoka fans old and new enjoy the next film!
