The original psychological thriller magical girl anime series aired in 12 episodes in Winter 2011. The Hajimari no Monogatari (Beginnings) and Eien no Monogatari (Eternal) compilation films premiered in Japan in October 2012, with the Hangyaku no Monogatari (Rebellion) sequel film opening the following October.

Shaft adapted the Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magica Gaiden smartphone game into a 13-episode television anime last Winter. Crunchyroll, Funimation, and HIDIVE simulcast the anime with subtitles. A second anime season is currently in production.

Maybe all that money I people spent on the gacha game pushed investors to see the franchise is still profitable enough to give the people what they wanted.

Must contain the hype.

Well, it was fairly obvious that this was the “project” hinted during the 10th anniversary event but it’s great to have confirmation nonetheless!

Sad I missed today’s event though.

They’ve kept us waiting for ages, can’t wait to see what this has got in store for us!

2013. Hangyaku no Monogatari is aired.
2015. An official teaser(?) of a potential sequel is published. People are hyped and began theorising for potential sequels, doujins released, etc!
2017, Magia Record released. People starting to lose hope of an actual sequel (the game's good though, but not really what we wanted) and people's attentions started to drift away to the game instead.
2020. Magia Record is getting an animation. Almost no new contents relating to the original series is released, both official and even doujins. Only the most stubborn MadoMagi fans are still waiting for the advent of the now almost forgoten sequel.
25 Apr 2021, they launched the teaser. The trumpets are blown, the clouds open up, and there comes slowly descending from the sky, we see.... hope once more...

Stop, another sequel? The franchise already had one. But what's the point? Where is the guarantee that during the next anniversary we will not receive another sequel with "this time for sure the true end of the story"? This is already beginning to resemble a cash cow.

I’m not entirely sure but I think the nickname came from fans of his work on Saya no Uta. That’s just a guess though.

I just don't understand what else they can think of for this? The maximum ship's canon and a happy life for everyone? Or "everyone killed each other"? It always seemed to me that Rebellion had already placed all the necessary accents.

I didn't expect that. Although Hangyaku didn't fit me in various ways, I'm very glad they make the sequel from my heart. This franchise is masterpiece.

finally, been waiting for this since Rebellion disaster ending. Judging by the title, that means Walpurgisnacht will come again and why was there a need to show the weird broken glass image in the poster, didn't that happened in Rebellion?
Well, it's good news, Madoka Magica is an ok anime which I followed.

Interesting, to me the end of the 3rd movie gave a lingering feeling of uncertainty - it felt incomplete to me. It never felt like a true ending and thus I always hoped for more. I think happy ending is now more possible than ever. Otherwise they wouldn't continue the story - if they plan to kill characters, they should leave us with "open" ending we have now. It'll be stupid though if Homura backs down and Madoka goes god-mode AGAIN and disappears. Can't wait to see how this gets resolved!
