According to Quarterly S magazine April 2011 issue, director Shinbo Akiyuki said he wants to produce a spin-off of Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica. He thinks it's wasteful to let the unique characters go after the end of the current series and it's possible to produce a heart warming slice-of-life series where the characters live their lives smiling not crying.

Oh, I want to know the extra arc, too, with heartwarming story (the scan also mentioned about other characters' story like Madoka's mother's).

First a spinoff manga, Kazumi Magica, now a spinoff anime?
Let's see this though.
But give me first the ending of the original before making one.

Madoka Magica is deep, intellectual, depressing, and wasn't meant to be implemented in an anime format similar to Pretty Cure or Tamayura, but if it will result in a figma of Mami being made then do as you wish.

Madoka... in a heartwarming story? Oh my! Now that's something I've never thought of!

But still, will support :)

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

anything Madoka related is acceptable. and besides i'm already imagining the girls having a peace and quiet scenario after all the despair they have suffered. They're just girls. But i wish Urobuchi still writes the story and then bam, he'll fulfill his dream to write a "Happy Story" but what do we know about his conception of "Happy" XD

I... kind of don't like this idea.
Madoka and her Puella Magi buddies suddenly in a happy environment having the time of their lives and doing fun slice-of-life-y stuff?
It might work out, but I just... don't really like the idea.

Kinda this. What sets Madoka apart from other Magical Girl anime is it's dark content, and remaking it into something light and "cute" will be about as popular as that Evangelion school age comedy.

Hmm... I don't hope they will make a sweet anime as a spin-off.
You cannot just go and ruin the characters mentally and then make a series in which that doesn't happen. the outcome would just seem lame compared to this kick-ass Madoka.
Though, if it is aired, I'll watch it, to see how bad it gets XD

Well, if they do make a happy-go-lucky version, I'll probably try watching some of it. It would be different from the original, but it would most likely still be enjoyable.

Heh. Epic troll.

If it really is heartwarming , then the fans of the original, dark series will be trolled.

If it is "heartwarming" like the main series was "supposed" to be according to Urobuchi on pre-release, then those expecting a relaxing slice-of-life would be trolled.

Either way, this is a great troll, SHAFT, so please go ahead with the idea. Madoka should be more than popular enough to become a cash cow, so just do it.

I shall be watching it either way. I like light-hearted slice-of-life enough to watch it like that, but at the same time, I would like to see a depressing deconstruction of the genre at the same time.

Well, I'm not okay with this.

The characters are in my opinion not interesting at all, I'm not sure if I would like a Slice of Life series, just give me more Hidamari Sketch SHAFT instead of making crap like this, especially since SHAFT's style lately isn't that unique as it used to I don't expect it to be anything special at all.

Well anyway, I'll watch it.

Lolz what? So, knowing the fate of the characters at the end of the series, did Shinbo feel sorry for them and decided to make a "alternative story" where everybody is happy and gay? I think this is an elaborate set-up, making fans lower their guards so he can cruelly kill them again.

So they're confirming Oriko Magica?
Urobuchi is in on that, so do want!
It reminds me of this:
Interview with Urobuchi Gen in Nyantype 2011/03.
If this were a 26-episode show there would be more of Mami. Someone that looks exactly like Mami in a traditional hotspring maid outfit. Or something that looks like Mami in a life guard vest. That would be nice, wouldn't it? Except that I am lying. Sorry." (Urobuchi)

I wouldn't mind it starting as slice of life: I'd like to see some background on Charlotte, Elly etc. Ofcourse the biggest troll would be if we're gonna get an entire season of Madoka-On!
