Madoka Magica - New Season/Series Information and Speculation
MOD EDIT: This thread is for discussing the almost certain but not yet official continuation of the Madoka story/universe after the third movie. I've moved a bunch of posts to this thread since they were more suited for this topic.
Gen Urobuchi wants to add new writers for hypothetical half-year TV series Quote:

Yep, anyone could see this coming considering the sales and Shinbo's "perpective" regarding anime in general.
I personally suspect the original ending was slightly altered in order to have a movie and possible sequence afterwards, but that's of course mere speculation. What's actually more worrying is Urobuchi's intent to make the series outliving its creators, which is hardly a good idea no matter how you look at it.

Plenty of stories outlive their creators. I don't think that's good or bad generally. I also am not surprised that they want to keep the story going, or at least the universe of the story. I only consider something "milked" when the people making it decide to phone in their creativity.

I'm kinda seeing this going the Power Ranger or Digimon route where new characters are brought in as the original 5 get old, die, or "retire"; giving it a new title "Puella Magi Turbo Super Z" of some sort. Unless they follow Sailormoon and get different outfits and transgender characters come in. Hey, it could happen.

The Puella Magi universe is capable of supporting much more characters than the original five, as demonstrated by the manga and extracanonical content.
And that's probably the way they'll go since Madoka and Sayaka are pretty much out of the picture now. I want to see new Magical Girls from other eras, locations, and towns. The original five are great, but I don't want them to be the end-all and be-all of Puella Magi.

Puella Magi: The Killing Joke The Dark Homu Returns I think they could even make genderbent Madoka or Sealdoka spinoffs. I won't be surprised if one writer decide to fuck up the franchise in an installment with Homura showing off her own credit card and make the campyness up to eleven.

If the Pretty Cure series can go on for at least 9 seasons (and still going strong) with tons of movies in between seasons, I don't see why they can't do it for Madoka either. Of course, different audience, different tastes, so what works for one may not work for the other without seriously changing the concept, but if they can do it right, Madoka will be a money-making franchise for years to come.

To begin with, a series that manages to establish itself for a specific set of events and/or period might not do as hot as other series that established long set of subsequent sequels and spin off right from the get go. Really, if Urobuchi was really planning the series to be potent enough for that announce timespan, the anime would have been gone differently. In fact, the number of anime/manga that can span that long is basicaly close to none (I'm not counting monsters like DBZ, Sailor Moon, Jojo, etc because they aren't spanning past their creators lifespan yet, even if they have the level for it).
