Bad, bad, bad.
And without a decent reason, this time.
"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command.

If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."

WHAT! no, never. When there's finally a quality anime aired, they maybe cancel it? It's already bad that they'll postpone it for so long. I understand the whole earthquake/nuclear power plant thing, that is horrible and ofcourse you'll postpone animes because of that. But this ain't got no reason, for G's sake.

MBS, stop BS'ing please.

Easy guys. MBS website still currently says:

25:39 番組未定

番組未定 ~= programming undecided

Those posts on 2ch (and animapple post based on them) are based on MBS's EPG, which happened to change frequently recently. Before at least the website confirms it, I'd say it's still hope it'll air on 24th.

If for some crazy reason it won't air neither on 24th nor on 31st, it'll finish on Niconico. I'm sure of it. Heck, it has to! ;)

I think this confirms that ep 11 will stream on Niconico 2011/03/24 03:00 JST

kinda strange that Nico would stream it before it airs on MBS though.

yeah,from what i've read, Madoka episode 11 will "possibly" air on March 31, and i hope it does >.<

@metamorphius
Walpurgis Night date is on April 30 or May 1? and that is a very LOOOOOOOOONNGGGG wait XD

According to an article which popped up at SankakuComplex, the producers are "glad" about the delay, because Shaft is still working on the final episodes. As others suspect, I guess the ending of Madoka might have apocalyptic scenes, why else would the tv stations decide for "self-restraint" and put the show on a (hopefully short) hiatus? And I think there is no way to actually cancel such a popular show, the last two episodes will air sooner or later.

I know, I was kinda joking there cuz I remembered that festivity would be coming soon. But seeing how it was postponed twice and it is still not certain that ep 11 will air on March 31, some more delaying could make it happen. That being said, I certainly wouldn't want to wait that long and am holding my thumbs for Madoka to air as soon as possible.

We rejoiced quite a bit about the niconico scheduled broadcast, and today I woke up and saw this:
この度の『東日本大震災』の影響により、場合によっては放送が延期となる可能性がございます。あらかじめご了承下さい。

If my moonspeak skills are correct, it means:
Due to the effects of recent earthquake in eastern Japan, broadcast may potentially get postponed depending on the situation. Please be forewarned.

Shit, now the "programming undecided" slot on MBS seems the only hope for Madoka this week :/

Every episode 'till now was worth waiting for. Going by intuition, I would say that waiting for the last 2 episodes would be a challenge but I also think the rewards will be great. I even think SHAFT are currently improving the episodes and making them perfect xD

According to Random Curiosity, episode 11 will air on March 31, mostly because SHAFT wants more time to finish the episodes.

I can't seem to find any official confirmation on this, though...

Well, it'd be awesome if it was confirmed. I mean, it's still a long wait until the 31st but at least I have a date to look forward to. The indefinite wait is always the worst one.

Bad news guys. MBS decided what they'll show at 25:39 on Thursday, and it's Quartet. No Madoka on TV this week for sure.

There's still little hope for Niconico tomorrow, but it seems unlikely for an episode to debut there and not have any other broadcast for a week. I think it's going to be rebroadcast of ep10, or it's going to be canceled at the last minute.

The worst case scenario (aside from not getting ep11 and ep12 at all) is AT-X in June, but I think we'll get Madoka next week.

it's because Puella Magi Madoka Magica is produced by Nitroplus and Urobuchi Gen is a Nitroplus writer where in Steins;Gate is based on a game by Nitroplus and Nitroplus may be producing Steins;Gate also ^^

aside from that, Homura-chan is repeating a loop(time-traveling) where in characters of Steins;Gate has "time-traveling" or anything related to parallel world concepts as their specialty.

That's very interesting but I am more of art books so I hope there will be one of Madoka by the author and those who worked on the series.

The tweets are already translated on the wiki. Urobuchi also says that he doesn't know anything about production progress either, but he hopes for tomorrow's/today's (depending on the timezone :D) Niconico broadcast apparently as much as we do.

Noone knows whether it'll air or not. If it airs on Nico indeed... there's a whole lot of possibilities. MBS may show it instead of Quartet, but I think Quartet has higher priority because it's MBS' own production (but I don't know the popularity figures of Quartet vs. Madoka, and it may be important factor here). It may air next week, making MBS a week late after Nico (reverse to how it used to be). Or it may stop airing on TV altogether, with ep11 and ep12 airing in webcasts only.

And regardless of it all, the AT-X broadcast will probably go as planned, but we're talking about June here.

Hm? There's a reply to me worrying about spoilers in Megami Magazine. Good thing that we've rewrote the article on the last minute. There should be no hard spoilers for an episode that hasn't been broadcasted. What's there is a more completed 'teaser', if someone do mind that please do warn about it.

Hmm. Yeah, a lot os possibilities, but I don't see MBS dropping it. I also don't know how popular is Madoka in Japan, but given that, at one point, chap 2 of the manga was sold out EVERYWHERE, I'll assume it's high.
If that's the case, they would never drop their cash cow, delayed or not.

Oh well, let's hope for the best. And it's about time I made a Nico account, too.

EDIT: It's great that the booklet doesn't come with spoilers, but one thing is for certain: I would feel ripped off, if I had pre-ordered it. If it was my decision, I delay it. Or if not possible, charge less for it.
Better than selling something incomplete at full price, at least...
