Granted, "new story" could conceivably mean a reboot or even a SoL Madoka show. Either would be "new content" in a sense, at least. I'm definitely interested in seeing what this "new story" will entail, whether its a reboot or a direct sequel or something very different. At the moment, I'm cautiously optimistic and also very pumped. I think the Madoka Magica franchise still has some good untapped potential left. There's some chance I won't like what is to come, but I think there's a much better chance that I will like it. And I think that's probably true for most Madoka Magica fans.

Confirmed to take place after Rebellion, 4 minutes long, heavily hints at sequel work.
Here some translated impressions: Quote:

I think it's the specific terminology being used that's confusing some people, or leaving some people with doubts and skepticism. The term "concept movie" makes me think of someone pitching a new anime show concept to higher-ups in the anime industry, to try to win their approval to go forward with it. I struggle to make sense of the term in the context of "continuation of one of the most popular anime franchises of all-time". You need a concept movie for that?
Don't get me wrong, I can understand SHAFT maybe wanting to release a trial balloon to the general public before fully committing themselves to a major new project. But honestly, couldn't the fake!trailer they released back on 4/1/2015 count for that? If it's already determined that Rebellion is getting a direct sequel, why not just call this "concept movie" a trailer, instead? Or a PV? Still, if you just replace "concept movie" with "trailer", this announcement all starts to make sense. So I'm tentatively assuming that "concept movie" basically means "trailer".

Oh, New WORK. I completely misread it and thought it was New York (still implying new work, though). Thought it'd be an interesting path to take to show somewhere other than Japan in the current Magica world.
That said, this concept movie basically shows that they ARE working on something to continue the story. That does NOT, however, mean anything is announced or that anything is guaranteed to come out. It DOES mean that they're prepared to do something and haven't written it off as a few of the nay-sayers here would try to force you to believe. |

It's obvious that Magica Quartet have been talking about continuing the franchise, they've admitted that much themselves and now we've got a 4 minute sequel which from what I've read is a recap of the story up until now... You don't release new material recapping the series thus far unless you intend to continue the story, this 4 minute film is basically telling us that the story will continue, thus it is a confirmation of a sequel not through words but through art.

Why the heck is ANN even bothering to report on it, then? If it's just 4 minutes of pure recap, then that's just SHAFT celebrating what they've done before.

After all of this clarification, my take is the same as GDB's.

If they was making something, they would straightly show trailer+release date. Exhibit is called madogatari, of course they have to show something madoka related. This "they are working on something more" is continued from 2012

Oh and I also just remembered that I saved the text which described how the film unfolded. Well, that was one of two I read.

Huh, this other summary doesn't make it sound like a recap at all, but glimpses of future scenes:

So either the one in Sayaka's Sandbag's post is fake, or it's very inaccurate; the concept movie was basically a trailer for a "potential" (...c'mon, we all know it's coming) sequel, like Triple R theorized. Last edited by ilcane87; 2015-11-28 at 08:35. |

Well, it actually sounds as though a continuation is confirmed then, as expected. This... Really sounds super exciting, I don't think I'll be able to contain myself, especially if what unfolded in the film is basically a trailer for the second season/4th film. Also in your link Ilcane, there's a post which says this "Also there's a settings about "Why Walpurgis can't be defeated by turning back time to when before she become powerful" written in A4 in a show case. (Likely Inucurry's production note.) It has pretty interesting time theory… and also explains why Walpurgis only appears only few years apart. Too bad I forgot to take a note and unable to explain it. " That in itself sounds extremely intriguing.

A concept movie is a concept movie. It doesn't necessarily lead to a new series unless they say so (which they didn't yet).

Funny story, I had this friend who used to belittle me when it came to me stating that an event would unfold in a certain way or something would be released within media... Every time my predictions would come true... Another good example would be when I told her that her internet boyfriend would be likely to cheat on her... He did and she and I are no longer friends as I got fed up with her stupidity. Another interesting point, I mentioned to others in certain online communities that for Madoka to get any more story content then Shaft and co would have to give us a hint or something in relation to it by the end of 2015, we now have that something in the form of this 4 minute film. Long story short, I know what I'm talking about.

If they came out and stated "Oh yeah, Madoka sequel confirmed!" on the first day of the first event then they'd lose media coverage and attention over the duration of the Madogatari exhibitions.
