Madoka won't be in this season, they said
It's going to be a soulless cashgrab they said
It's not going to be directed by the director of the original episodes 3 and 10, they said
AHAHAHAHAHA 10/10 this season is going to be good.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO, Magireco is FINALLY back. It’s been a long 1.5 year of a wait but this first episode was well worth it. The OG Madoka crew are really like a secondary protagonist lineup of the game, we didn’t get much of them in the first season, this season should be a lot more and I’m really excited.

The Sakuga today was superb. Sayaka’s sequence against the witch was stellar and then that finale, couldn’t be happier. With news of a rebellion sequel having recently been announced, Madoka stans eating good rn. Only complaint is this is only 8 eps sad:(

Continuing the Magireco story with this next season by jumping back to some members of the original cast, Madoka, Sayaka and Homura. Them learning about the true nature of witches and magical girls like in the main show. Sayaka went ham on that witch! Animation looked crazy good! The og cast members must be linking up with the main magireco cast later on. We saw some of that in the first season with Mami and Kyoko but now the rest look to be joining up in Kamihama city. Homura mentioned that this timeline is different now since she saw that message to come to Kamihama. Maybe she can save Madoka from death in this magireco world. A little end credits with Yachiyo still investigating the enemy whereabouts.

The opening of the episode gave me (and any past NA players I'm assuming) deja vu of the Magia Record tutorial we all had to do before we started playing the actual game.

It is nice to see Madoka, Homura, Sayaka, Mami, and Kyouko again. I really hope this one will be better than the first season.
btw, the best scene in this episode is the stabbed Kyubey from Sayaka. hahahah

Yes! I couldn't remember the exact tweet but yes, there will be a 3rd and final season for arc 1 that will air at the end of this year. The title of the season is "Dawn of Light Dreams" and most likely it will cover the final 2 chapters.

Wow, This was what i expected, finally the last 2 members of Holy Quintet is join the story. This episode was from the very beginning of the game + some of another story episodes. The music,interactions between characters was so nostalgic,i was hoping for magia song for this ep ending. Just,wow,amazing beginning. Madoka,Homura welcome back,we miss you since rebellion. Can't wait to see interactions of Madoka with Iroha, Homura with Yachiyo, they were amazing in the game. I Hope the entire season would be as amazing as the first episode.

They should have named it "Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magica: Magia Record Gaiden"

I'm sure this episode will be peak Magia Record. Everything was perfect. The acting was phenomenal, the BGM alone almost made me cry, and my jaw dropped at the fight animation.

This had everything that makes MadoMagi and Shaft so special and it's the shame that everything that will come after this episode will not be anywhere close to this episode.

What a fantastic episode! I'm definitely watching the B-Global version while it's airing and especially since Funimation recently decided to tank the quality of their videos for some stupid reason. They're literally punishing people who actually pay for their service by doing so. It's also stupid that they purposely cut out the after credit scene unless it's due to some exclusivity or something. That's the only legitimate reason I could think of kinda like the extra Yesterday wo Utatte mini episodes.

The story is going down a completely different route than the game but this episode was awesome!
The visuals were gorgeous as well. Late start compared to the other summer anime but if the visuals are going to be this good, it was worth the wait!

The Sakuga moment was dope. It was obvious that putting so much irrelevant character, which only waste screentime is a recipe for disaster and I was right. This episode in comparison to anything we had prior is a masterpiece.

I know we shouldn't get used to that, but it would be better if old cast would remain indifinetly.

What a spectacular beginning and also with the original team and that end with an angry yachiyo kidnapping a magius to get information from her, uff spectacular and we see with Sayaka she again shows off with madoka and homura, and also leaving us the unknown of what will be the role of kuroe in the play, I also loved the animation and the battle scenes, I knew that this season was coming strong and I hope it stays that way, great magic record.

This first episode was incredible. What a great way to start the new season with the main cast of PMMM ! The chara design, visuals and animation were amazing, and the scenes mirroring some of the original series as well as the use of symbolism were such a cool addition. I was so happy to see Homura again, to see her being happy and getting along with Sayaka so well, and seeing my favorite trio in action. The sad scenes, balanced with the funny and cute scenes, were so great. Thanks to that, the atmosphere of this episode was very similar to the original anime's. It was also great to see those scenes from the game finally adapted. I loved this first episode and I am eager to see the following episodes hehe

Ps : Super cute transformations n super cute Homuuu

People are saying Funimation is missing the after credits. For me (In UK) they're there.

It is a shame Kalafina disbanded before even the 1st series was being made as it was the original show that got me into this franchise.

Wow. What a based episode. Easy 10/10. Loved the fight and recall to what it is to be a magical girl. Seems like my brain didn't pick up on why and what importance this has though, will look into it for sure.

Was actually looking forward to the spin off characters story but I guess that's for next week haha.

This insane level of quality was just wow... It was so nice seeing the classic main characters again. The overall feel for this was one that gave me similar feelings for the original series and I do appreciate it.

That sayaka sakuga though was 10/10 and probably my favorite piece of animation for the summer season. This really started off strong and the inclusion of the OG characters was a smart choice in my opinion. I loved this episode

and I'm also glad the soundtracks are still as fantastic as ever

I look forward to the new changes in the story, now that Nemu remembers Iroha, Shigure's appearance, and the change in Another Story. Also, I'm so happy for Kuroe becuase she'll be having a bigger role in the story!
When will we get Scene 0 anyway? I swear there's a reference to Mabayu near the end of the first episode.

Its nice to see Madoka and Hamura after so long. That was a nice save from Sayaka though. Its nice to see their views after receiving intel of what happened to Mami. Given the fate that the girls that become magical girls were forced into its easy to see why so many of them chose to rebel against the system rather than either dying or becoming a witch. The revelation from Kyubey sure proved to be devastating on them. Madoka and teams' attack against that witch though sure was fun. That was some nice teamwork that they displayed during the final assault on the witch. Looks like Madoka's team will be moving to save Mami and confront the rebels soon then. It will be nice to see them teamup with Iroha and her team. Looks like things will be getting interesting next ep. Overall an excellent ep that while doing well in reintroducing us to the world of Madoka also did well in showcasing the effects of the lie that Kyubey had been feeding them. To realize that all that lies at the end for them is either death or transformation into a witch to be killed by others is a terrible feeling indeed.

Yo, did the OG Magia Quartet made this EP? It felt much more like the original series than the 1st season's.... Not only because of the trio, but the sense it gives.
Or maybe just because almost the entire EP is set at night much like in the original series? Because most of the 1st season's scenes are set in the day up until the early evening....
