| I'll wait for popular reception. |
| Shaft + Mahou Shoujo I would walk through the very fires of hell to watch this. Question though... is Urobuchi behind this? Homura cameo = instant 10/10 |

| The character designs captured my heart. Will look forward to this! :D |
| This is gonna be another Madoka Magica-like anime. I can just feel it. |
    |
| More mahou shoujo anime~~ XD I could tell just before the name. But the character designes look nice, so I'll watch it. |
 Please don't remake your last hit...  Ok, this look intriguing |
 I sometime have funky grammar, sorry about that. If you can correct some of my post, you would be an angel. |
| Sweet! Count me in! :D |
| The character designs are amazing ! I am looking forward to it ! |
 |
| Excited! |
| my life could always use a bit more shaft no double meanings intended |
 |
| shaft yeahhh bring back those awesome weird animes to me!! |
| Madoka Magica 2.0, yay... We're going to see another title get absolutely ridiculous hype that rivals Naruto's hype. Seriously, Madoka has become as popular as Naruto practically. |
 |
| Oh god Oh god!!!!!! its Shaft!!!!!!! I dont care about the details Ill watch it! :DDD <3 |
| Character designs look nice. Will definitely watch this, and not just because it looks similar to Madoka ;D |
 |
| somehow it reminds me of precure o: |
 |
| And let the hype begin. I'll more than surely add to it. Very nice character designs :3 |
| A MILLION TIMES FUCKING YES |
| Shaft doing another magical girls show? I'm all up for it. |
angelronin said: It be kind ironic they did sort a reconstruction of magical girl genre after Madoka Madoka was both a deconstruction and reconstruction of the Magical Girl genre. The initial universe was the deconstruction. Madoka's wish basically created a more conventional magical girl universe where they fight evil, with the possibility of death of course. This one looks like light and fluffy magical musical girl to me. There's alot of music notes floating around plus one image shows an electric guitar as a weapon? |
 |
That certainly looks too innocent. Final boss confirmed! |
|
| More goodness from Shaft, look forward to it. |
| *is suspicious* If that's a Mahou Shoujo I know that the character I'll be attached to will die horribly. |
 |
| Blue will be the best girl. Deal w/ it, peoples. |
 |
| Looks interesting enough. |
| i wonder what kind of story? :")))))) |
| o.0 |
| YESSSSSSSSSS MY LIFE IS COMPLETE |
| Looking at the designs looks like a magic girl anime. I'll wait. |
| I'm actually looking forward to this. |
| Useless Urobochi is involved in this one I'm not expecting it to be a "dark" mahou shoujo as Madoka, but being Shaft the one behind it, I'm still curious about it. Let's wait for Comiket for the details~ |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |

Marow said: That's quite a lot they've got there. Maybe this is a secret project they've been working on in the time we didn't hear from Shaft? The girls' names are: - Washioka Itaru (brown-haired girl) - Asagi Asuka (blond girl) - Oribe Kotone (blue-haired girl) Apparently, they form a band. Itaru plays contrabass, Kotone plays guitar and Asuka plays drums. I assume Kotone is the singer (unless they all sing, of course). And unless my ears are deceiving me (and nothing gets changed halfway through), Kotone will be voiced by Rie Kugimiya, meaning she'll yet again be voicing a tsundere loli. I can't make out the other two, maybe someone else can? Edit: I've been told it's actually Eri Kitamura. I guess we'll need a better quality PV or announcement of the cast to make sure. |

akai12 said: I'd really like to add this to my list but the site search is giving me nothing. Is it not in the database yet? It's more than likely in the queue. Merushi said: Their mahou shoujo outfits look as dull as the next mahou shoujo outfit. Don't think I'll watch another one of those. That's one of the worst reasons I've heard for not watching an anime. |

| From the promo material, this looks to be more in line with what people would expect from a Mahou Shoujo. It should be good it its own way then, though I don't expect it to be earthshattering and genre defining like Madoka. Then again, Madoka's OP and promo material trolled the majority of us... |

I usually know better than to go by people's lists, but I have to wonder if you've ever even seen a Mahou Shoujo anime. Most people who've seen more than simply a few episodes of Sailor Moon wouldn't consider Madoka groundbreaking or genre defining in any way. As for Prism Nana, I'm glad the PV had more to show for it than the ones for Madoka.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XByTeuBgAeg I'll keep an eye on it, and if it doesn't turn into another shock value-grimdark affair, I'll give it a try. I've seen SM. I wouldn't think Madoka was half as innovative as it was if Usagi took nearly the entire series to take up the mantle of Sailor Moon, the Senshi were really just fighting themselves, and there was less resurrection. Also if that cast remained all women it really would have been something for its time. |

| I've always been a huge fan of Shaft but this looks horribly generic... I hope this isn't just them capitalizing on the success of the Madoka cast and is more interesting than it looks so far. |
RLinksoul said: But in long time it can.jmal said: I didn't expect to convince someone who has a grudge against the show, of course. But the explanation stands. If you want to think everyone who sees something novel in Madoka is just ignorant of mahou shoujo history, you'd probably be surprised. Actually, a lot of what you said does make sense and I can see why a Magical Girl show rooted in Faustian themes would seem like a refreshing change from the norm. But a refreshing change doesn't necessarily mean one has redefined the genre. Late night shows can start changing a bit in the future - they see that Madoka or Nanoha was bestseller so why not experiment. Most will fail but there may be more and more of "clones" of those two that are successes. It's redefining of genre for me :) We had Symphogear which in it's clumsy way tried to do something similar to Madoka (not that it worked or there is some connection, it's thought I had while watching it), there is Sailor Moon show that can also go into dark areas. Maybe Prism Nana will be one of those. "Normal" Magical Girls shows won't be affected by it, simply because they are already quite dark - we had HeartCatch Precure and kids hearts being turned into monsters: among other things. Or whole idea of Labyrinth from Fresh not to mention Infinity. And going any further will mean that parents may have obiections towards it = no toys or other stuff for kids :( |

Most people who've seen more than simply a few episodes of Sailor Moon wouldn't consider Madoka groundbreaking or genre defining in any way. Madoka isn't my favourite anime because it is mahou shoujo. It's my favourite because it hit all the points of great storytelling: intriguing plot, immaculate pacing, memorable characters, thought-provoking, beautiful symbolism and imagery, great soundtrack. It redefined the genre for me. Yes, the only two Mahou Shoujo I've ever watched is Madoka and Nanoha. This is because in general I'm not much of a sticker for happy-go-lucky plots where the protagonist is never in really any danger. Nor am I much of a fan of enemy of the week, which happens in a lot of mahou shoujo and shounen genres. This is just what I like. And Madoka is groundbreaking. I keep quoting this from a blog because I can't convey the message any better. |
