The retellings should be interesting in a "spot the differences" way....but I'm kind of hoping that it's a loose adaptation so that it will at least be interesting. Otherwise the only one interesting will be the third movie which will be....an actual continuation?!

I wonder if they'll use the third movie to bridge a gap between season one and a potential season two, or if it will just be a quick fly through the plot with lots of pretty animation but otherwise shallow event.

Well, if it's a loose adaptation...

IIRC, Shinbo explicitly said he really wanted Sayaka to survive. I wonder if he'll get his way this time.

Well, it could be a retelling but from Homura's POV, an extended episode 10 of sort. That would be interesting, and it could include more backstory for the other characters.

For the last one, I'd be happy with Homura being awesome while fighting the Maju. Put some last Maju boss there for Homura to kick butt and I'm set.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is trying to invade the anime movie world next year which is always topped by the big five (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Detective Conan, and Pokemon.) Can P.M.M.M beat any of the big five in movie earnings? stay tuned.

Totally agree. I think that's probably the best approach for the third movie.

Good ideas. I'm not sure how much emphasis on Homura there should be though. The way the anime worked, each character was given some room to shine, so I'm hoping that is the case in the movies. I'm sure some might not mind the stories basically being "Homura Magica" but personally I'm hoping to see something a little different.

I won't speculate too much for now given that there's so little info though. I am happy to see that we'll at least get a little more Madoka universe.

Well, unlike TV series, movies work best when the focus on the characters is more narrow, but screen-time and POV are not the same thing anyway. All in all, I'm sure they could make all the characters shine while keeping the POV on Homura all the same.

For the last movie though, if it's really a sequel, I definitely would like more emphasis on Homura (since Madoka is "no more"). There's no need to be deep in that point IMO. Just some awesome fighting would do.

But yeah, let's wait and see.

There's a rumor going on in 4chan, from 2ch, that one of the movies will focus entirely on Episode 10, Drama CD1, and also Kyouko and Mami's past from Drama CD 3.

Well, last we saw, Mami and Kyouko are still around in "Madoka World". If you have Sayaka survive this time around, then she could be there too...

Three or four magical girls fighting against Maju, while Madoka telepathically communicates with Homura. Maybe have the plot be that one of the Maju somehow develops a cunning conqueror personality, somehow learns of Madoka's existence, and plots to somehow "find" her, attack her, and take her power.

Of course, I might be dreaming in American comic book-esque technicolor right now.

Well well, it seems my speculah is becoming true.

So, it could be like this:

movie 1-----> episode 10 extended + drama CD (1 and 3)

movie 2-----> series recap (- episode 10)

movie 3-----> sequel, badass Homura kicking serious amount of Maju ass.


Make it happen SHAFT, make it happen!!!

That's exactly what I'm thinking too. I think Movie 1 would turn out to be great. Expand on Madoka and Homura's relationship we didn't see in TL1 and more, and animate Kyouko's and Mami's backstory.

The last two movies I'm a bit hesitant. A recap of the whole TV series, minus episode 10, it could go either way. And a brand new sequel movie could be extremely awesome or very disappointing.

Just read some comments in 2ch. WRYYYYYYYYYYYY

The plot for original movie is already finished by Urobuchi, which was a bit too small for another TV series, thus making it movie instead. There are also staffs who wanted to watch MadoMagi series with Movie quality direction, thus Iwakami just decided to make it trilogy so that everyone is happy.

Also in the magazine, there was comment from Anno Hideaki;

Anno: I like Kyuube.

and people, relax. Nothing will be ruined. They said they won't change the plot. Plot is already done, and it will have almost 3 years to modify and fix until the last movie airs. Just think of it as end of eva.....

oh shit.

LOL @ Aniplex

But it's understandable. They might never anticipate that Madoka would become a massive hit like this. It may be too sudden for them to come up with new material. They should know that the sequel is probably the hardest task. They need time to polish new plot to make it interesting and live up to expectation. IMO The problem is that it may take 5 years before it's finished...

Well, Shaft, I hope that you don't lose your concentration on your current projects Nisemonogatari and Kizumonogatari. They are also big projects. Not many studios own two big franchises. Please don't screw them.

Definitely not. Quote me if I'm wrong.

PMMM is very famous series, no doubt about it. But it's still not a main stream series. PMMM has different target audiences. The movie will have less theaters just like many previous famous series such as Haruhi, Nanoha.

If what Shaft's staff twitter/rumours/magazine comments are true, they will be fine. Nisemonogatari is supposed to be going pretty normal if what they said in magazine is not a lie. In case of Kizumonogatari, the rumour of working about it was already out for a long time before its announcement.

lol but the problem is, it is still Shaft.

Shafted is their moto.

I think they're in a different category -- the mass-production category -- not good to lump the new Madoka movies with any of them... and you forgot to mention SnT.
