I wonder if it'll be as successful as the K-ON movie~

so exciting!!! will this one be one of the recaps or NEW MATERIAL!!!!!!!

Sounds good to me. The sooner the first movie is out, the shorter the wait for the other two movies. Especially the third one with supposedly new material.

Awwwwwww yeah!

I believe the first 2 movies are recap movies. I'm sure they will go the route of TTGL and add new scenes though.

Magical girl animu? Attracting general public? Hahahahhaha this guy.

Wasn't the whole reason Madoka was so cool was that it was out of the mainstream?


Is it really not making enough money with the passionate audience it has now?

I wouldn't worry too hard, Mr. Shinbou. @_@

So that will probably comeout in Blu-rays and DVD on Jan or Feb 2013 and gotta wait for subs to come out too. Sigh...that's a long wait ｏ( ><)o

He shouldn't be worried at all.

Can't wait for a year or so to watch a recap :D

PEOPLE LETS DO OUR PART AND HYPE IT UP! SHAFT NEEDS THEIR MONEY!

Seriously someone needs to start making an abundance of threads on a place where Japanese normalfags hang out on the internet. Can't do it myself because I don't speak Japanese.

Nice, I'll have to wait like a year for the subs to come out but at least it's finally progressing.
Even if it's a recap I cannot wait to see it ^^

Yay :D

cool!!! XD

the first 2 movies will be a recap if i remember right, so i hope they atleast reanimate it and not just cut and paste from the TV series



yep its all about gaming and social networking sites now a days lol

Both Kizumonogatari and Madoka in one year?

I hope Kyouko is in the first movie, if not I could live with just Homura.

I say 'MILK!', you say 'IT!'

Milk.. it.. milk..it..

Looking forward to it.

MILK IT! MILK IT! MILK THAT ¥¥¥¥ COW

I don't think the anime attracted anyone new to anime mostly those who watch anime anyway so of course he should be concerned if the general public go see the film.
