| What? Shaft actually making anime? What is this? 2017? Anyway, this was very nice. Has very familiar vibes to the original. I have not played the game but I think I'll still be able to have fun watching this. Not sure what to expect from this story wise but the atmosphere and setting has been excited for what's to come. They did kind of set up some mystery towards the very end and the direction is nice too. OST is fantastic, looks like they kept the OST? I'm gonna be nitpicky about one thing, I think the hood doesn't suit Tamaki in her magical girl form, it's not bad but I feel like she'd look better with the hood down. |

| Fantastic first episode, love this already as much as the original |
| I'd say it was an interesting start to a new series. Although it is a spin-off and we won't get to see anything completely new or game-changing, it is still interesting to see, where all this is going. To me it seems like some interesting goals for the series have been set, although we might get to them earlier than expected. Maybe there will be more sub-plots as there will be 26 episodes. Apart from that I am very happy to see the same style again, it would have been out of place, if it would look different. The background-artworks were amazing and also the character-designs reminds me of other character-designs in the Madoka-franchise. But I still got the impression, that there were some changes, seeing the witches maze felt different from before. From what we have seen so far it seems, the main characters don't seem to be as interesting as I hoped, but we haven't seen so much yet, so there will probably be improvements in the future; if not that would be really disappointing. This also counts for the whole episode, as it wasn't bad, but there was no point where I thought of watching a really good show, the start seemed really slow and there was nothing that hooked me from the beginning. I hope this changes in the next few episode. |
Ahh yes, let's dive into this acid trip yet again, sponsored by ours truly, SHAFT. |
 |
| I'm surprised they revealed Ui so fast. I also thought the atmosphere of the show would be more light hearted but here we are and I absolutely love it. Who needs to read translations when there's an actual show lol ty Shaft |

| Very good first episode, the beautiful art is maintained and the atmosphere feels the same, the OST as always is beautiful ... hoping to get to know new girls better. 2020 starts well with the return of Madoka, even if it is a spin/off. |
 |
| Iruha, become Meguha! (anime edition) Madoka was mahou shoujo genre deconstruction and mind breaker to some extent but there were quite a lot of followers afterwards(e.g. Granbelm as latest one). Can this 'sequel' be something as impactful? Hard to say. |
Saber-x-Rin said: Ya spoilers. Dont try to seek anymore info just absorb the mahous Anyone else notice how in the OP (ED in this episode) there was a frame with the original cast of Madoka? |

| This was quite a bit different than how it was in the game and that's not a bad thing. Decent start but it took the entire episode to reveal what took like 5 minutes in the game lol. As people have noticed, Kajiura Yuki's music is used a lot in this. They use a lot of new music from Ozawa Takumi but also a lot of music from the original. It blends well too. Kajiura Yuki needs to be added to the staff list for music. |

| The return of one of the most ionic anime of all time and it certainly managed to bring the same atmosphere back. It was a bit strange to see different characters in the same universe, but I guess it would be really hard to come up with a proper contiuation of the story from where Rebellion ended, so this might've been the best decision. |

I give stupid ass anime 7/10 You should watch the original series, its only 12 episodes and 1 movie long and I am sure you will like the yuri ships in it |
| They changed the story a bit i see.. i think it works better this way since the game felt slower at the begining. Animation and ost seem to be on point! The new character doesn't even appear in the opening.... either she's gonna bite the dust soon or she's just there for the first episodes or something. And somehow Alina is the only one of Wings of Magius that appears there, if there was going to be anyone i was expecting the twins but i'm happy it's her, that means she'll be in the anime :') |
 |
| Damn, this was a nostalgia bat hitting me in the face and bashing my nose in. I like everything about it so far. |
 |
| Pretty good first episode, glad that they didn't waste much time retreading explanations about the stuff we should already know from PMMM. Haven't played the mobile game so I'm definitely interested to see where some of these plot hooks go, and what the significance of certain things is (very interested in whatever Mini QB is, in particular). Did they ever say how many episodes this would be, speaking of which? |
| Oh my lord, that soundtrack playing at the start of the episode send shivers down my spine! It's great yet sad to hear that soundtrack again!! SHAFT bringing us those visuals again, they are impressive as expected! It's unusual, weird but oh so familiar now. Good start, so looking forward to this one. I honestly hope it won't break me as when I watched the original series. Not sure if I will survive that :P Saber-x-Rin said: Anyone else notice how in the OP (ED in this episode) there was a frame with the original cast of Madoka? It was brief but I saw it! |
 |
| Good start. Can't wait to get depressed again. |
| Pretty good start, it was kinda hard for me to get back in the mood of Madoka Magica however, but now I'm ready perfectly Wonder when things are going to get darker (because they certainly will) |
| Although they reused some of the OST from the original, the lack of Yuki Kajiura hurts. |

Well being familiar with the game, in my opinion Iroha and Yachiyo are the ship with the most cute moments.. plus Kuroe is a original anime character so i don't think she will appear much, sadly. |

| Pretty jarring episode with bad CGI and acid trip visuals like original Madoka. The characters are copy of the original cast. Like Borutos dad show, but its SHAFT. The all over the place plot is there, and nice visuals. But the character designs is simplified imo, I hope the fight is gonna be amazing. The OST is the same, with same mascot character. I read the story of this game, I hope they adapt it faithfully. |
 |
| This episode was excellent the atmosphere, the animation, everything felt like the original series, which is what I was worried about because I didn't get that feeling from the game at all except for a few parts. The changes they've made so far have only enhanced the story so I'm extremely excited to see the rest of this. |
| This is the one of the few watchable series this season. Winter 2020 is probably gonna end up being one of the worst Winter in years. |

| Episode heavily focuses on the familiar and beautiful battle scenes between magical girls and the witches. There is so much mystery surrounding iroha's visions and im excited to see how it gets fleshed out. The story-telling is muddled and was a bit lacking, but makes up for it in beautiful animation, paired with immaculate music. Super excited to see what unfolds. Alsoooo, who else was in TEARS seeing the OG mahou shoujo cast in the ED song. All the feels are falling from my eyes, wow. |
| WOW did the shitposters flood /a/ because of this. It was OK, I'm getting real tired of mahous wasting their one and only wish for other people. Oh how magnanimous they are, so virtuous. Such heroes. That crap needs to stop. Make an actual good wish for once. This shit is not a game. |
TheKewlPerson said: RobertBobert said: Should I watch this if I did not watch the original Madoka? You can, but the lore behind magical girls aren't explained much so you should wat Madoka though. Good news is it's only 12 episodes and a really good anime! Thanks for the advice! Other people told me the same thing, but since so many people hold this opinion, it’s really worth it :) |

| I would like to introduce.... Puella Magi Wiki to supplement after watch the episode https://wiki.puella-magi.net/Magia_Record_Episode_1:_Have_You_Heard%3F_That_Rumor_About_the_Magical_Girls as original one, there will be a lot of translatable Rune and hopefully someone will translate them as we watch on this wiki. (hope no one spoil future episode though) |
| MADOKA CLASSIC OST IS BACK TOO. I'm so glad. So many questions. This is definitely one of the candidates for AOTS and/or AOTY. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Looking forward for who will die first :)) Glad to hear they bring classic OST back |
| Okay, I haven't played the game at all, I'm going in this blind. It's gonna be fun! It's been so long since Rebellion. Can't wait to see how this show plays out. |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| It was an OK start, we have some mysteries, strong color and art direction, not bad animation, but i can't help but feel like too little happend in this episode. |
 |
| I like that it has the same atmosphere as the original series unlike the game. |
 |
| besides this Railgun and Haikyuu!!!i have no idea how this season will shape up but these are my saving grace. seems good and will most likely be super depressing ,at least we got the squad shot of the old cast( also if you haven't watch the first Madoka ,WATCH IT) have not played much of the game figured the story would be good but i got enough gatcha games to play but in hype of the anime i picked it up since there's daily free pulls ! not gonna actually play it till this over gonna go in blind |
