Certainly didn't expect it to be this fast but I'll take it!

Looking forward to this!

Pretty cool Key Visual, also.

Finally some news about this. I was kinda expecting this for summer last year, but then Covid happened.
S1 was boring with bunch of irrelevant characters, but it ended with such a cliffhanger z that I'm kinda hyped.

I thougth the ending was the worst part lol, they kept talking the focus away from the new cast, to put it on Mami and other original show reference. The fact we never got to see the main 5 girls figth together was a real let down. I would of through the last EPs would of been way more hype if the 5 had teamed up to beat mami rather then sayaka making a cameo appearance🤔🤔

The thing is that the cast was actually the worst part of this show. Shitload of completely irrelevant characters wasting Screentime, which is the common problem in gatcha game adaptations. The (Funny thing is that Shaft did the same blunder layer with Assault Lily, but frwxied it up to 11)
On the contrary, original had amazing cast of characters, where each girl had their role and time to shine, so knowing that they are going to be relevant in 2nd cour makes me want to watch it.

I agree completely that the old cast is way better, I'm a fellow fan of the original😎👍 but that's why it felt so bad when the new show kept sidelining the new girls. How are we meant to care about them the same way we did the originals, if the originals keep appearing to steal the spotlight ya know?

I love seeing the old cast, with Thier returning voice actors in both dub and sub but I'd rather see them in a story about them, then having them further hijack this story🤔

Not gonna lie, I'm feeling slightly concerned that they're just dropping it this Summer all of a sudden and yet they haven't released any PVs or done much in the way of promotional material/marketing...

Sad thing is, the MagiReco main cast is arguably better-written and more fleshed-out than the original main cast (at the very least, in terms of personality)... but that's only in the actual source material: the mobile game, where the writers can afford to spend a lot more time with them.

Unfortunately, the time constraints for this anime adaptation certainly didn't do those loveable characters any favors; a lot of aspects, details and quirks were lost :(

Well, duh. You cant put dozens of characters in 13 episodes and deveopl them all.
Shaft tried to do the same with Assault Lilly and failed so miserably, it resulted in (IMO) 2nd worst anime of 2020.

Honkai Impact is another gatcha game and has just a handful of very well written (in my opinion), yet still quite generic characters (Two main leads are almost identical to Symphogear's).
I still wait for an actual TV anime adaptation of this, which would work out no problem.

I'm not saying they need to make every girl from the game complete, in fact I don't think the first series had any intention of that, it's just a shame that the primary new cast get fecked to the side in order to focus on fanservice

The first season was so disappointing that I'm pretty sure the second isn't worth watching, but I'm also pretty sure I'm going to watch anyway because I'm an idiot and I swallow everything I'm offered with "Madoka Magica" on the label.

Worst case scenario it leaks into October, and between this, Higurashi, Girlls Frontline, Yuuki Yuuna, and Mieruko-chan, we'll have a high enough concentration of cute girls crying to summon the demon lord.

Really though, they had to post it because all the channels were about to publish their July TV guides, and it would have been bad to leak it that way. I suspect that they had wanted to wait for convention later this month but were overruled. Better to do it on their own terms.

Perhaps they saw how the audience's reception fell short of expectations and decided not to put any more money into the anime.

They've been actively promoting the franchise since at least the beginning of the year, what are you talking about?
Madoka 10th anniversary project, сontests on twitter, life events and so on. The broadcast of the second season fits into this line that eventually goes to the movie.

There's no need to promote the spin-off separately. He does his job-promoting the game in Japan and reminding everyone else that Madoka Magika exists.

You don't like it - I get it. But the anime performed well on streaming services and had quite satisfactory sales - so no one cares about the reviews
