Puella Magi Madoka Magica is an original television anime that aired in 2011, telling the story of girls who gain magical powers in exchange for a single wish, only to find themselves locked in a desperate battle against witches and a fate far darker than they ever imagined. The series sparked enormous praise for its harrowing, darkly subversive take on the magical girl genre.

Its 2013 sequel film, Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie - Rebellion -, set the fates of Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi, and the rest of the cast in motion. Now, the story continues after the previous film’s shocking finale in Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Walpurgisnacht Rising -, set to release on August 28th, 2026.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica (commonly known as Madoka Magica) is an original anime series created by Magica Quartet, a collective pen name for Akiyuki Shinbo, Gen Urobuchi, Ume Aoki, and the animation studio Shaft.

At the center of the story is Madoka Kaname, an ordinary middle schooler whose life takes an extraordinary turn when she meets Homura Akemi—a mysterious transfer student who had previously appeared in her dream.

The TV series, which was broadcast in 2011, gained attention for its charming character designs and intriguing magical girl narrative, punctuated by darker, heavy-hitting moments that explored the grim realities these characters face.

Given the show's widespread popularity, it's no surprise that it spawned several films. In 2012, audiences were treated to two compilation movies, Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Beginnings and Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Eternal, followed by an entirely new story, Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion, in 2013.

Now, after an 11-year hiatus, a brand-new movie installment, Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Walpurgisnacht: Rising, has been announced for a winter 2024 release. This sequel to Rebellion is already generating significant buzz, as fans are keen to see how the narrative will evolve.

To celebrate the exciting news of this upcoming film, we've compiled a collection of fan art featuring two of the series' pivotal characters: Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi. We invite you to take a look and join in the anticipation!
