Don't forget that Negima movie!

Nah, they had to suspend Madoka because the next two episodes would probably offend a lot of people, with Walpurugis Night destroying the town and all. They had to push back Denpa Onna because the slot it's in was probably occupied by an anime that had its episode pushed back by earthquake/tsunami/nuclear reactor coverage.

Nah, there is no way they are going to add MORE work to their schedule just because a show is going to offend people. It was postponed because they are using the earthquake as an excuse to complete the episodes.

I really doubt that. It's not like anyone could have seen the earthquake coming, and none of the episodes up until then were incomplete nor showed any more budget cutting-corners than your average TV anime. Yeah Shaft has a history with the schedule thing but they seemed on the ball for Madoka.

[Jao]

It's a combination of the two according to Gen's tweets from the time. Shaft were holding on by the skin of their teeth, and the earthquake shook things up enough to jeopardize the quality of the finale.

It wasn't SHAFT's decision to take the anime off the air, it was MBS/TBS/etc. What Gen said was thanks to the earthquake coverage, they would have more time to work on the episodes since SHAFT's schedule is tight, but he never said they would postpone the episode specifically because it wasn't fit to air. Hell, he didn't even say it wasn't fit to air, just that thanks to the (what they thought at the time was a) one week postponing they would be able to increase the quality of the art/animation. Gen already said that both episodes 11 and 12 were done being animated, they just can't air them because the show was essentially cancelled.

Urobuchi's twitter history pretty much confirms that 11th and 12th episode is already finished... >_>... You know that when he was talking about the possibility of episode airing on nico nico, right?...

Denpa Onna is different issue now.

What means "self-restraint" for Madoka ? I wonder also if Madoka has good or bad ending on the final episode even it can't be aired ?

Probably because i can remember the E.T. theme
but there are a lot of E.T. or other alien movie/story parodies in the novel

Edit:
I got the ET theme on youtube
so i can sure it was a "yes"

I smiled when she went moofuuu.

[applejuice]

Erio looks soooo kawaii. She will be the winning moe of this season, if the last season was Victorica.

[Kanon]

Yup, that's a Shaft anime, all right.

Oh god, Erio is so moe I'm gonna die.

[zerodragon]

am I the only one finding the head tilting at .10-.11 on pv creepy.
those are the look of killers

[Kanon]

I finally listened to the Opening song. You know what? I kinda like it.

The music is horrible and the singing isn't even good, but the incredibly cute voice of Erio's seiyuu (whom I had never heard of until now for some reason) is enough to salvage this song. The first twenty seconds are the best part.

I remember Hitagi doing that so many times.

And Nozomu Itoshiki leads the list on that theme by far, so many times you can say it is his default expression.

^^ WAIT WHAT? Noooooooooo. . . And there's still 2 episodes of Madoka.
