^ that still leaves what happened to them post retcon open though. I just can't see Madoka not retconing them back to life if Homura killed them in the final timeline.

zeniselv · 2012-02-28, 14:55

well 2 things come to my mind.
1. madoka rewrited the universe, but i dont see why she would go the extra mile to save someone not close to her, she wasnt even able to sayaka.

2.in the last timeline madoka dont exist, so theres no reason for homura to eliminate them,and homura isnt the philanthropist that is gonna hunt kirika for justice.

AuraTwilight · 2012-02-28, 15:32

Well, she MIGHT, given that Homura is going to "fight to protect the world that Madoka loved."

According to Chunichi Newspaper, the first movie of Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica will be premiered in autumn. In the article, director Shinbo Akiyuki said he was worried that anime has been out of mainstream entertainment and hoped Madoka will attract the attention of the general public.

Oh I sure hope the movie will raise anime's profile again...

Kirito · 2012-03-16, 12:14

I hope the movies do well so we can get a second season or more of them. Come on Madoka fans let's do our part, and give our unending support to this amazing series.

Oh, come on. The anime's established fandom is buzzing, plus the immortally memetic QB, plus the new games being released. Plus (pardon my IMHO) there was not THAT much to watch last year, and not THAT much so far either. Madoka is sure to attract attention, if even by the constant popping of champagne bottle corks the fandom will be shooting in the autumn.
I said autumn, but let's hope Shaft doesn't push it back a lot.

You're talking about Otaku popularity, whereas Shinbo is hoping the movie will attract the general public, which is a totally different demographic.

blakstealth · 2012-03-16, 19:28

All it needs is some explosions, nice cars, and lotta wideface moe to become mainstream.

I'm not arguing that. I'm just clarifying that Shinbo wants to attract a wider demographic. That's all.

Guernsey · 2012-03-16, 23:05

Well Shinbo is gonna have his work cutout for him, I am not sure about Japan but I know if he is gonna to a wider audience he is gonna have to somehting huge. Sadly, the mahou shoujo has been aimed at girls since Sailor Moon, it is not as though everyone is gonna consider watching as it sound like "a show for girls".

zeniselv · 2012-03-17, 02:35

^you are quite wrong at that, actually sailor moon was a hit in japan and overseas with a male and female viewers, and its not the only one, take a look at card captor sakura, now there are some even aimed at male fans like nanoha or illvia prism, but i do agree that madoka have this problem, but this is mainly for the designs wich hardly appeal to a wide audience.

As a personal opinion, I feel that a second season might ruin the show as a whole. As the story was already well scripted out for the first season. If they do start a second season, where will it go from there? Movies are probably the best way to 'extend' the series.

Triple_R · 2012-03-17, 19:27

I'd say that there's a good chance that the spin-off mangas get adapted into anime shows. That's an easier route to take than a 2nd season (as much as I can understand Deikan's desire for a 2nd season), and I think it would give us at least some more content of the main cast of PMMM.

HasuMasu · 2012-03-17, 23:06

Wait wait, so the first film is a re-telling?
