Madoka Magica - General Discussion
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica / Puella Magi Madoka Magica
(魔法少女まどか★マギカ / Magical Girl Madoka Magica) http://imgur.com/NMZkO.jpg Original anime to be directed by Akiyuki Shinbo (Bakemonogatari, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) with script written by Urobuchi Gen (Phantom, Saya no Uta) and Aoki Ume (Hidamari Sketch) providing character draft. The anime series will be produced by SHAFT. More information to be reveal in Togainu no Chi commercial slot every week. Spoiler for Commercial captures:
Staffs Director: Akiyuki Shinbo Series Composition: Gen Urobuchi Character Draft: Ume Aoki Character Design: Kishida Takahiro Music: Kajiura Yuki Animation Production: SHAFT Official site: http://www.madoka-magica.com/ Twitter account: http://twitter.com/madoka_magica |
This could be the greatest magic girl show to ever grace the silver screen, or another ambitious project that's more about the talent backing it than the actual show.
Regardless, I'm excited. Despite being somewhat wary of SHAFT shows recently, I'd love to see how this turn out, just out of sheer curiosity. This is the first Original Anime the studio is handling right? (I can't remember if they ever did an Original before, they seem more engrossed in adaptations) BTW, nice to see you still around sirn. I really did miss your blog |

Original SHAFTxShinbo anime? Count me in at 100%. & Yuki Kajiura score? oh yes. |

Magical girls and Shinbo and Shaft are enough to grab my attention. I hope Shinbo doesn't hold back and embraces what animation can really do - that is, say "The hell with reality!"

Holy... now Yuki kajiura is on board? I'm 100% sold. I mean what is this, mystery hotpot? They're taking SHAFT, Shinbo Akiyuki, Urobochi Gen, Aoki Ume, Takahiro Kishida and Yuki Kajiura and throwing them in one project about magical girls? To quote Arbesque, this really could be the greatest of it's genre lol. I'm truly excited now.

Kishida Takahiro ? Which anime did he worked on again ? :heh:

W000T !? Just noticed that the song will be done by her. Didn't really noticed it when my friend only told me about the director and some of the staff :heh: I hope SHAFT will have many staff in this....They were always complained with the lack of staff if I remember correctly. |

Hey guys, remember that other sort of popular magical girl show Shinbou directed a while ago? Something about a girl named Nanoha, don't know if you've heard of it before.
(Hell yes I'm excited. Although with the inclusion of Gen Urobuchi, we might be getting something completely different from the standard fare...) |
Staff comments from the official site:
Poor translation as usual. Never take it as accurate translation. Quote:

Woah. The staff they compiled for this is mind boggling. I agree, this has potential to be the best magical girl show, period.
If anything, the music is sure to be splendid. |
Surprised to see Kajiura do another full soundtrack again. Haven't heard one from her for a while now...
|
This has some major potential, definitely keeping my eye on this one. Akiyuki Shinobo and Kajiura Yuki working on this one. (Really only like SHAFT because of Shinobo.)
A magical girl anime of all things. |

>Urobochi ....Well, now I'm excited (again) |

What are the odds that this show will take over the Star Driver timeslot in Spring 2011? It's MBS and Aniplex, and it has pretty high profile staffers. Seems pretty likely?

Quote:
.... yes he did. The first season in fact. :twitch: |

Hopefully Shinbo won't play too much on his signature directing skills. I like Shinbo's older stuff (starship girl yamamoto Yohko, triangle hearts sweet song forever) but I think he goes overboard in Pani Poni Dash. A little of his signature directing skills is great, but doing too much actually make the show bad. |

Now my interest meter has raised significantly. I was skeptical when I heard "Shinbo" and "Mahou Shoujo", truthfully. |
Quote:
Why is this thread have so many things that surprised me ? :heh: |
The most surprising is, he's also the one who make Nanoha of Lyrical Toy Box:
|
A NEW mahou shoujo?!?! What is this :eek: ?!
... I guess the last one hit a dead wall, Heh. |
In three years, we'll have an OVA called "Nanoha vs Magika." Mark my words. :heh:

Hoping for more epic pew pew. The staff list looks way too awesome.

Most of 2ch are calling this show Chidamari Sketch. Brilliant. :p
|

What. Quote:
|
Chidamari....Chi as in blood ? :heh:
Well, I guess I can see that lol |
Quote:
Just think about blood splattered yuno... x_x (*shoot myself) |

Joking aside, I can see it. Aniplex might be looking to replicate the same success as Bakemonogatari here with SHAFTXShinobo and maybe generate publicity in the opposite direction when they fail to finish the episodes in time to have more people watch the timeslot :p and the genre would certainly attract a wider demographic. But I'm worried about that to be honest. (If it does take over after Star Driver, then this will be a Spring 2011 show?) Quote:
|
All right, Shaft and Shinbo have peaked my interest here...
Let's hope someone can keep the schedule on track... :uhoh: don't want a repeat of Bakemonogatari's production snafus... Arabesque said it better! :D |
Hmm well I'm curious. I can't make a guess about how this is going to turn out. But do agree it's got potential.
|

^ so, they are returning to the ancient weapons, instead of freakin-huge-mecha-cannons.
Not bad, hah? |
