1st Movie of Madoka Magica Due in Autumn

Yes Shaft is involved in Kizumonogatari but don't know when they plan to release it.

Shinbo's a good director and this should be a great watch per usual.

He never said he was going to change the anime so it's for the general public; he just said he hopes they notice the anime. You guys should really decrease the amount of things you inject into your bodies. It's unhealthy.

I know they're recaps, they could simply have Kyouko's scenes in the second recap film.

This is great news, but waiting for subs is going to be hell.

I remember that Eva 3.0 is also set for Autumn/Fall right?
I'm looking forward to the clash in the theaters.

My body has been read for this since... a long time ago.

Yep.

Sorry Evangelion, but I want Madoka much more than you right now. Especially since you've been in the works forever.

Bring it on.

So, I'll wait until autumn. I really want to see the movie

I know right?

Either way I hope it ain't a recap.

Nice info.~

What makes you say that?

one word: Precure
they not only make money in cinema (like 10 million dolars from Pretty Cure All Stars DX3)
but also gives loads of cash from toys and whatnot (here we have nice sum of 160 milion dolars)
so yeah it may work

problem is that it's easy to use child as an excuse to go for Precure movie... but doing it the same with Madoka, it may be a bit difficult plus attracting some non-interested people to go for it (K-On! didn't seem to have such problems)

You do realize that profit does not change the genre of a anime right?

Not that I care about this movie to much... but they may get some money for other of their projects (more of Hidamari Sketch is always welcome)

I feel anime was boring for me , and i dropped in episode 5 , so if i take it up again i ll be watching the movie.

I just hope it's not a recap, but instead a "remake" similar to that "rebuild of Evangelion" movies.

Exciting. Too bad about the wait, though.

It will be interesting to see how the Madoka movie does against the Evangelion one. I wonder which'll get more people...but I'm betting on Eva. ^^

KIZUMONOGATARI WHEN

Can't wait!

Just hopin' it bomb.

Dont care for story/plot, it's usually shit. eye candy please

Cant wait actually....

Can't wait to wat h the recap, sounds great!Now I'm excited!

Looking forward to this!

milk the cow, suck it dry

Sweet. :0

Good, at least we've got a date now. I just hope it'll do justice to the series and is not just a bunch of anime scenes put together. Re-animating and even adding new scenes would be awesome, though.

Yes, please continue to milk Madoka SHAFT.
It is going to be better than 80% of the shit that is airing now anyways.


I seriously don't know why idiots post comments like this.

Out of mainstream entertainment? Buddy, you must be crazy

I can imagine the magnitude of clash in Japanese theaters in 2012, lol... Top 3 most successful anime in the history of anime industry coming out all at once. D:

I'm in the total opposite camp =D
Yay! We'll get the 3rd movie on Blu-ray in 4-5 years! YES!

At least it's a shorter wait than Diablo 3...

Apparently both the first and second films are this fall...

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I don't care if it's a recap, I already rewatched the series a couple of times and enjoyed it every time, so I have absolutely no problem watching it again in movie form.

Super duper legit.

Just hoping there isn't too much stock footage and plenty of new shitz... The fact that they're coming out at the same time makes me a little scared that there will be too much copypasta.

The episodic cliffhangers are going to be harder to do in a movie format.
The only really thing they could add is longer fight sequences.
5 minute fight sequence between Walpurgis and Homura = fly to Japan to watch it.

i hope so too. i'm also hoping that in either the first or second movie they will show Kyoko and Mami's history together as best friends. it was in the drama cd Farewell Story, but imagine seeing it for real! i'm just not quite sure which of the two i like more. they're both pretty fantastic characters, and it bother's me that i can't decide who i like more. but anyways, i hope they show their friendship and such. i also hope they finally tell us what happened to Homura's parents

since the movie will probably be featured in Japan only, then whoever somehow gets a hold of it please PLEASE post the movie on Youtube! i beg of you!

Mod Edit: Please do not double post.

I can't wait for this...!

It does have search, jmal. Beside "My Ignored Topics".

That's good stuff though, I'll probably just wait for the movies instead of bothering to watch the series again.

Bumping this thread because we now have the box office data for the 2 Madoka movies.

While the first movie was ranked 7th in box office (and the only movie with <50 screens in the top 10 list), the second movie was ranked FIRST in box office this week ( http://www.kogyotsushin.com/archives/extra/ )

Over the last weekend, its box office was 172 million Yen with 43 screens. (the equivalent revenue for the first movie was 139 million Yen). It broke two records in Japanese cinema history
- The first movie from a midnight anime to take No.1 in the box office ranking
- The first movie with <50 screens to take No.1 in the box office ranking

BTW I read the reports by those fans who went to the 2nd movie and apparently although the animation was all redone the sequence and scenes look close to the TV series up till midpoint of Ep.9. And after that there are quite a bit of new scenes added, particularly in majo-Sayaka vs Kyouko as well as Homura's talk to QB about Kyouko and Homura vs Walpurgisnacht.


In case some of you have not seen it



Also Madoka (or is it Mami?) is on the cover of the popular news magazine SPA this week
