by

As a gamer who’s been around the anime block more times than I care to remember, I can confidently say that the return of Madoka Magica is like a long-lost friend finally coming home. I remember vividly watching the original series back in 2011 and being utterly captivated by its unique take on the magical girl genre.

Next year, Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Movie – Walpurgisnacht: Rising will finally have its full theater premiere in Japan, following a long delay. Fans have been given their first glimpse of what to expect from the new movie with its initial footage release. Puella Magi Madoka Magica is highly esteemed among anime fans for pushing boundaries within the magical girl genre. The original TV series aired more than 13 years ago, but the original Shaft anime project has remained a topic of interest among many fans ever since it first became popular.

Despite the original “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” TV series having completed its run in just one season, it has since exploded into a massive franchise, boasting multiple feature films, spinoffs, video games, novels, and more. It’s a powerhouse in the industry, and a new movie is set to continue the story after many years have passed. A glimpse of this upcoming film titled “Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Walpurgisnacht: Rising ” has been unveiled during Aniplex Online Fest 2024, and you can watch its new teaser trailer below.

What Is Madoka Magica’s New Movie?

As an ardent fan, I’m thrilled about the upcoming movie “Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Walpurgisnacht – Rising.” This new film will bring back the original crew and cast from the anime series and films, with Yukihiro Miyamoto directing for studio SHAFT. The creative minds behind the original, Magica Quartet, are on board again, while Gen Urobuchi pens the script, Ume Aoki designs the characters, and Yuki Kajiura composes the music. Unfortunately, a setback in production has caused a delay, pushing the release date from this year to sometime in 2025 in Japan. Despite the wait, I’m eagerly looking forward to experiencing this continuation of the Madoka Magica universe.

The upcoming movie is not to be missed by fans eagerly anticipating the continuation of the narrative, picking up where the “Rebellion” film trilogy left off. Unfortunately, revisiting this trilogy might not be straightforward at the moment, but you can watch the original “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” anime on Crunchyroll in the interim. Contrary to its appealing artwork, the series has a much deeper, darker storyline that has contributed significantly to its enduring popularity.
