| Just thought I'd ask to see where people would have wanted the series end. Some people are complaining about new sequel, most are hyped, but what is your stand on it. Personally, I think it should have ended with Rebellion, it would have been an amazing bittersweet ending, but I haven't even watched this and only vague theories will show how movie 4 will end. |
| Rebellion clearly paved the way for a sequel. It was pretty obvious that it was gonna come sooner or later. Personally, I would have been fine with it ending after Rebellion. Heck, I would have been fine with it ending after the TV series. Both were good endings. But hey, as long as they can make money with Madoka, they'll keep doing so. I don't mind it though, not with this show. A sequel definitely still has a place here (much more than Code Geass, for example...why would you destroy the best ending of all time with a super unnecessary third season, UGH). |

| I feel like the answer to your question depends almost entirely on how the next movie is gonna end. How could we know which ending we prefer if we don't know what is going to happen. I feel like the series and rebellion had perfect endings on their own and the story could've just ended on either of them but I'm happy that we might get something new. ps. I don't really know who is complaining but that's just dumb (at least to me) because if you don't like it you don't have to watch the sequel or am I missing something? |
| No but I also didn't think rebellion was needed and I ended up liking it so I might be wrong again. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| The anime had a perfect ending that needed nothing else, while Rebellion's ending screams for a sequel. The third movie was never necessary, but after it, the fourth movie is extremely necessary to close everything that the third left open. |
| "If someone says it's wrong to hope, I'll tell them they're wrong every single time." |
| Is it necessary? Maybe not, but I do want to watch it anyway and it might impress me a lot just like Rebellion did. |
 |
| If they keep up the same level of production quality and writing, why not? Rebellion had a satisfying open ending and the story is still promising. It'll be fine as long as they don't do...whatever was done with Magia Record. That is something that really doesn't "need" to exist. |
| Curious to see the outcome, but apprehensive. I thought the series and sequel film were very good, but pretty simple in their premise - the series wrapped things up well and the sequel did an interesting job of developing things by exploring why the solution reached in the series was imperfect, but I wonder if a new film could be stretching the material somewhat and might convolute things. We’ll see, I suppose |
| I'm convinced that the only reason that Rebellion ended the way it did with was because of greed (money). Think about it: Wraiths still exist, but that's hardly a reason to make a sequel. But instead of a nice and clean ending, we have an open one with and thus the story is now incomplete. All that being said, since all that I have to go on is the title, I'll reserve all judgement until I see it I assume the plot has something to do with "Walpurgis", the witch who is ultimately responsible for both Madoka and Homura's fateful decisions, so I'm interested to know more about it. Who is this witch? What kind of wish did this girl make to become so powerful? |

| Personally I thought Rebellion was a fulfilling and highly cathartic ending to the series. I would honestly have been satisfied if we never got a sequel and if this sequel doesn’t live up to Rebellion’s quality, then I’ll just pretend it never happened and that the ‘canon’ (as far as my brain will be concerned) story ended at Rebellion anyways. |
| The right to violate the rights of the people belong only to the people themselves! |
| people are really stupid, why are they worrying over this getting a sequel, i watched the tv series and thought well that was conclusive, then saw the sequel and wondered why it was made. Watched it and i was in awe that how can someone make thing better than the tv series, they managed to make a fantastic sequel out of a completely magnificent ending. So i am just hyped they are releasing a sequel and ready to be mindblown by the sequel. |
    ═════════════════════════════ You're going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road. It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn't it? I'm sure you'll overcome this. You'll walk again... soon. ═════════════════════════════  |
| Madoka is a high budget anime and shaft would refuse to let it fail. If shaft decides to make a sequel to madoka, expect it to be good. |
| I don't think so, and I didn't think Rebellion was needed either after the series ending. It still was a lot of fun. The Madoka universe is great to play with and reinterpret, and in case I have to, I can always choose the canon conclusion that better fits my tastes. So I'm looking forward to whatever exploration this movie makes and whatever conclusion it extracts from the concept. |
| What is necessary? Is Madoka going to re-become the cycle? What's the point? |
"Vaut mieux se suffire à soi que finir assoiffé dans le monde des apparences."  |
| I thought the series had a perfect ending and didn't need a sequel. I watched the sequel expecting to hate it and think it was pointless. It was amazing. The ending was perfect. It doesn't need a sequel at all. I'm perfectly prepared to be pleasantly surprised again. |
| Not needed but apreciated |
| check out odd taxi |
| The ending of Rebellion was exceptional, and if the series ended there, it would have already been more than enough. That said, I'm still really excited to see what they can pull off with this one, and would not be surprised at all if they manage to exceed my expectations again. |
| More Madoka is always nice, but the TV ending was pretty much conclusive, yet Rebellion created a whole new scenario to explore with Homura's character. I feel like the fourth movie wasn't supposed to take this long to come out tho |
| Sure. I have trust in this so I'll be looking forward to it |
 |
| The original series delivered an incredibly satisfying ending. Rebellion didn't need to be made, but it nevertheless continued the series in a way that made sense for its world and the characters, and ended in a way that I feel provided a solid amount of closure to the story. Not sure what another film would serve to offer, but I'm nevertheless interested to see how it turns out. |
Take care of yourself |
Short input, a sequel has high potential to be very successful if it explores the consequences of Rebellion ending in the right fucked ways. Rebellion ended it nicely in a way but also left me wishing for a sequel if done with proper respect. I don't want to see Homura suddenly regretting what she did, please take it all the way, I myself ship Homura x Madoka very much, exponentially more after Rebellion, but this series has always been about delivering raw impact, I don't want them to play it safe and have a perfect ending of both together and all sunshine. This shit took this long to be announced, hopefully meaning a lot of care is being put in the writing, thus mindfuck me as beautifully again and I will only give it praise... Otherwise tbh, even if it ends sucking more than I would like, I will still consider it fanservice and enjoy it to the best possible (I want more Homura). ThatRazorGuy said: The original series delivered an incredibly satisfying ending.

Not sure what another film would serve to offer, but I'm nevertheless interested to see how it turns out. I m more a believer that Rebellion surpassed the original, to me, it was the climax of the whole series, what Rebellion did left a bigger mark on me than S1 ever did, definitely more bold in an ingenious way that left me divided, confused, blanked out, but also very happy to experience such a fine twist, carrying such weight, it was a huge gamble that ended paying full for me, definitely very polarizing ending, definitely not safe approach, and I only love it all the more for it. |

| Yes and no. On the one hand, Rebellion’s ending was great, and since it is pretty much an open ending, the mystery of what the world may have become because of Homura was pretty interesting. On the other hand, Rebellion’s ending heavily implied this upcoming sequel as others said, and it would be great to know what this new world has to offer. In the end, knowing whether the sequel is necessary or not depends on what will be delivered by this sequel, but also on personal taste. But it is definitely more necessary than Rebellion was, in my opinion. |
 |
| It's the same question always, did we need Rebellion? Maybe no. Did we need Magia Record? Probably no. Do we need this movie? I guess maybe no. But do I appreciate everything that came after original TV series? Heck yes. There is a lot that needs to be explored in the Madoka Magica Universe, and it isn't forced by any means. There are no ass pulls. The weakest link in the universe is probably Magia Record, but still, it has some solid story and there are people who look forward to it, maybe more than original series. Rebellion was great, and this movie might not live upto everyone's expectations, but it'll be sight for sore eyes. Sure they are doing it to make more money, but that also means there are people looking forward to more Madoka Magica content, be it in form of Magia Record, or this movie. It's a sign that the fandom is still alive after 10 years, and just like Homura, I'd do anything to see Madoka again. This also opens doors to unadapted material, like Wraith Arc and The Different Story, which hopefully, we might see sometime in future. |

| I liked the original series ending and didn't think rebellion was necessary. I wouldn't say it's necessary, but I definitely want a continuation since the rebellion ending felt kinda off. |
| Even though I loved it, Rebellion is the unnecessary one. But since it exists, we need a sequel, as the end of it felt very much like a cliffhanger. |
 |
| IF anything rebellion paved way to a sequel. As much as i love the 3rd movie(ONe of my fav anime movies of all time), it did raise some questions and theories, in other words it was not remotely conclusive in any way. |
 |
| A sequel to Rebellion is absolutely needed. The TV series had a pretty definitive ending, but Rebellion did not. It was clearly setting up for a sequel. |
| Rebellion left the space for a final movie that would conclude the story. I love Rebellion, maybe even more than the series, but it felt that it left the story unconcluded. So I've been waiting for this sequel since Rebellion ended. I am very happy that it happens. |
