Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a 2011 anime series created by Magica Quartet, produced by Shaft and distributed by Aniplex. It follows the story of Madoka Kaname who is offered the chance to have any wish granted on the condition that she become a magical girl and fight against evil witches.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica began development after Akiyuki Shinbo expressed his desire to work on a new magical girl series to producer Atsuhiro Iwakami while they were working on Hidamari Sketch and Bakemonogatari.[1] During early planning stage, Iwakami decided to not adapt an existing work in order to give Shinbo more freedom in his direction style.[1] He then contacted Gen Urobuchi to work on the project as a scriptwriter and Ume Aoki as a character designer.[1] The series was announced in a commercial slot during the anime series Togainu no Chi.[2] Since then, more commercials have been shown in the same slot revealing the characters and cast.[1]
The first ten episodes aired on MBS, TBS and CBC between January 7, 2011 and March 11, 2011.[3] Episodes were then made available for streaming on Nico Nico Douga and BIGLOBE's Anime One service a week after broadcast. Due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the broadcast of episodes 11 and 12 were delayed and were later aired as a double bill on April 21, 2011.[4][5][6] The series was released on Blu-ray Disc and DVD between April 27, 2011 and September 21, 2011, having been delayed from the original release date of March 30, 2011 due to the quake, each volume containing a bonus CD.[7][5][8] Aniplex USA licensed the series in North America and released the series in three volumes between February 14 and June 12, 2012.[9] Manga Entertainment licensed the series in the United Kingdom and released it on BD/DVD in a complete collection on October 29, 2012.[10][11]
The opening theme is "Connect" (コネクト, Konekuto) by ClariS while the ending theme is "Magia" by Kalafina, both of which were released on February 16, 2011.[12] On the DVD/Blu-ray release, the ending theme for episodes one and two is "See you Tomorrow" (また あした, Mata Ashita) by Aoi Yūki, while the ending theme for episode nine is "And I'm Home" by Eri Kitamura and Ai Nonaka. Drama CDs are included with the first, third and fifth DVD/Blu-ray volumes while the original soundtrack by Kajiura Yuki was included in three parts with the second, fourth and sixth volumes.
