| I watched the series and i rly enjoyed it. I would like to know if the movies are exactly the same as the anime and if they are worth watching, even if you know the story? Mod Edit: Made title descriptive. |

| My favorite quotes from animes: Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies. I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass We are humans. - Shinsekai yori 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man |
| They're the same story, definitely worth watching them. |

| The first film is episodes 1-8 I believe and the 2nd film is episodes 9-12, with new animation, as well as few new scenes though obviously with some scenes taken out due to time constraints of a film. The third film will be a sequel to the series and will come out in japan sometime I think in October. edit Considering the last film covers 4 episodes which 80 mins and the film last 109 minutes, there should be plenty of time for additional scenes and no need to cut it down. So I think for any fan of the show the 2nd film at least should be worth a watch and with that you should just watch the first film as well. |

| If you really enjoy the Madoka series, you should definitely watch the movies. It's like watching the anime for the first time. Shaft went quite all out with revamping the animation. |
| The movies are worth watching. Namely the second one. (I can't personally speak for Rebellion, as I have yet to see it, but I hear that's pretty much required viewing for any Madoka Magica fans) |
| I'm going to watch all the recap movies. I need a refresher on Madoka. It's been quite some time since my first viewing. Amaaaaaazing animation so far. 1080p on a flat screen tv >.< |
KagamiHiiragi said: sorry for the tag but since you are the most recent reply i think you can answer me.For my first rewatch I watched the tv series again, but for the second rewatch I chose this and man this is the best recap movie I have seen. I don't even know what was cut, and the pace was normal, not ultra-fast like in KyoAni recap movies. And this movie isn't an exact copy of the tv series, it has new things in it (ofc nothing important, but for a rewatcher it really is refreshing to see sth new). Strong recommend. Can this movie replace the first 8 episodes? |
KagamiHiiragi said: thabks for the reply, i will have to decide@DinoPapiro The movie is 130 minutes long, and 8 episodes would be ~160? (while second movie is even longer than what tv episodes count up to) I can't remember it exactly after this many months but I was very satisfied with this and the experience was really the same as the tv series gave. So watching movie instead of tv series as a first timer won't spoil the experience IMO. |
