| Really looking forward to this! Delay, but it’s a seasons’ worth so no biggies from my side. Great PV too, keep up the great work Studio Shaft! |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| It will start airing exactly just a 1 year before the 10th anniversary of when Madoka first aired. There is a high chance at the end of it they just might annouce another sequel project to commemorate it. |
| I didn't even know it got delay Good to have the airing date |

There is a high chance at the end of it they just might annouce another sequel project to commemorate it. I sure hope we will see more Madoka content |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Ok looks cool and will definitely check it out, but where’s my second season of the OS? |
| Man, Shaft seems to be in rough shape. They even had to delay this one. Hopefully they can recover as as a studio, I wouldn't want them to disappear. |
| :3 |
| Seems like the story is going to be altered at least slightly from the game, considering this new character from the PV isn't in it (unless she's supposed to be this other character that appears later on and they're just throwing her in early). That said, I welcome a change to be honest. The game's story is fine, but it's definitely got a different tone from the original. Here's hoping whatever changes it does make are for the better! Also like @-ShadowClaw- said, really hoping they'll announce a proper sequel to the original series at the end of the last episode or something, since the timing will be great for it. |
| Hooooooly shit!!! The new key visual looks amazing! Can't wait to watch this one! Admittedly I haven't found myself playing the actual game all that often ; ;; ; But I'll definitely look forward to watching this! Here's to almost-9 years of Madoka Magica! |
 |
| Not really a Madoka Magica fan, but gotta watch this for GOD-tier best girl, Iroha~♥ |
| No Yuki Kajiura. That's a BIG issue. |
 |
| Ugh, no Kajiura for the OST, disappointing. Although the new soundtrack in the PV didn't sound bad. |
 |
| Surely I can't be the only one who, as soon as he saw the video thumbnail, immediately let out a "Fffffffuck this guy". Right? |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| About damn time! So excited for this. |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| I'm so ready for this! |
 |
| Since i play the game, i'm kinda bothered that they are showing the new girl (Kuroe?) with Iroha a lot, i really hope that the other girls don't get overshadowed by her inclusion. Also Tsuruno looks amazing as ever <3 |
 |
| Boo! Modoka has been done. We get it already, she is a sad little wimp until the plot tells her to be otherwise. Give us more Nanoha movies instead! Or even better a crossover where Modoka gets a Starlight Breaker or two to the face and Homura gets apprehended by the Time-Space Administrative Bureau. Also hoping for a rodent Yuno vs Kyuubey fight. |
 |
| I hop this is good, nothing can beat the original Madoka but I expect this to be half as good. |
 |
| I suddenly miss Kalafina huhu T_T Kajiura is still busy with ufotable animes so it's understandable that she won't work for this. As a Madoka fan, I'm still excited to see this. |
 |
| I didn't watch the original Madoka, so I wanted to ask if I should start getting acquainted with the franchise from this show? |

|
| It feels like I've been waiting years for a sequel/spin-off. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| i feel a little bit conflicted. madoka magica is one of my absolute favorites and i like that it's still studio shaft who's making it. but. the pv feels like a madoka rip-off than a sequel. the pvs for the first madoka magica were all "look at this cute, fun magical girl show!! :) aren't they SO PRETTY????" which of course was a fake-out. but these pvs have been "look how DARK and EDGEY these GIRLS ARE!!" and idk. i mean. if they tried to trick us again with cute it'd feel a bit hollow but. it really feels like they're trying a bit too hard to make it Deep™ like.... the edge in the pv kinda reminds me of magical girl site or magical girl raising project rather than madoka magica.... and the fact that most mobile game adaptations aren't very good makes me very worried |
