Puella Magi Madoka Magica10th anniversary - Messages from staff
Director Akiyuki Shinbo:“It has been 10 years sinceMadoka Magicastarted as a TV series in 2011. I want to thank everyone who supported us for 10 years. And I hope you will keep supporting us from now on. I’d be happy if we could have some developments for the 10th anniversary!”
Scriptwriter Gen Urobuchi:“10 years. Thinking about it, the world is going through a turbulent era. To the point we got a life-sized, supposedly unmovable Gundam statue to get moving. As the days pass by, it’s becoming harder and harder to recollect those times when there were no smartphone games, no gacha, and no Uber Eats. And yet, I clearly remember the excitement I’d feel going at Shaft’s conference room, writing the scripts. I’m incredibly happy to see the series still beloved, as it’s celebrating its 10th anniversary.”
Character designer Ume Aoki:“Thanks for celebrating the 10th anniversary ofPuella Magi Madoka Magica! Even after the TV series ended, we got movies, games, manga, goods (I’m super grateful to all the staff!) soMadoka Magicakept going for 10 years. Thanks to everyone supporting us! I hope the 10th anniversary will be the occasion to give back to everyone who supported us. I’ll do my best!!”
Shaft president Mitsutoshi Kubota:“We kept going back and forth between expectations and anxiety until the broadcast began in January 2011. For the Shaft staff and myself, it all feels like yesterday. Even know I still think about the scenes and characters, and if we did the right choices or not. This is a privilege you only get when making an original anime. Lastly, I am incredibly grateful to the fans who supported us.”
Madoka Kaname seiyuu Aoi Yuki:“Thank you for lovingPuella Magi Madoka Magicafor 10 years. The feelings I felt when I first met Madoka 10 years ago, and the emotions I received when voicing her, are all still part of myself even now, and the energy supporting me. I’ve grown up considerably since then, so I think I’d discover new feelings within myself watching it again now. I would be very happy ifPuella Magi Madoka Magicakept existing in your hearts.”
Madoka Magicahad several game adaptations in the past:
Chiyomaru Shikura, the author ofSteins;Gate, recently mentionedhe’d like to make aMadoka Magicagame one day.Currently,Magia Recordis quite popular (in Japan, as the global version was quickly closed and in a disrespectful way to the fans who spent money on it). And seeing how the mobile market is thriving compared to the game market in Japan, it’s unlikely we’ll get a newMadoka Magicaconsole game soon. However, it’s definitely possible a new anime will get announced. We’ll be sure to tell you if it happens.
