Madoka Magica Film

[Emeralda]

Yeah, because it's going to be awsum~

The December issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Newtype magazine is announcing on Thursday that a theatrical film project of Puella Magi Madoka Magica is launching. The magazine also notes that the original television anime won 12 of the 21 awards at the first ever Newtype Anime Awards in Tokushima last month.

The acclaimed television series aired from January to April of this year. The finale was delayed due to the March 11 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake or Higashi Nihon Daishinsai disaster. Aniplex of America, the American arm of the Japanese production company Aniplex, will release the original television anime on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in three English-dubbed volumes, starting February 14 of next year.

Atsuhiro Iwakami, the producer of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime, is revealing in the December issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Newtype magazine on Thursday that the upcoming theatrical film project will be a trilogy. In particular, two films will be a compilation of the television series, while one film will be an all-new story.

Iwakami made the comments in an interview that also included director Akiyuki Shinbo (SHAFT), original character designer Ume Aoki, and writer Gen Urobuchi.

Urobuchi had already pretty much finished the final draft for the new film, and production is proceeding next. According to Shinbo, the subtitle of the new film is still undecided, but he really wanted to call it "Incubator no Gyakushū" ("Incubator Strikes Back" or "Incubator's Counterattack").

@kazuki20, I've already said that on the main site news >.>

Also, the next season is supposedly to be Slice of Life, and not Mahou Shoujou.

That's the reason I'm so sceptic about turning Madoka into a Slice of Life. The beauty of the original was the unexpected drama, deaths, trauma, schizma, despair. Thing you don't expect in a typical magical girl show. Bah, the first two episodes, I almost skipped them, but then, yeah, it all changed to epic. Can Slice of Life really do something unexpected that wasn't already in other animu of similar genre?
