| I think Madoka has spoiled anime for me forever. Ever since it aired, everything else just seems a little bit less interesting. It's harder for me to get into another anime since Madoka has really put the bar way above what all other anime can even hope to reach. Here I am, unable to reach Japan or any of the Madoka airings due to responsibilities and school. In the middle of a jam packed fall season with a lot of new anime with a lot of potential, I am here eagerly awaiting news of the movie rather than anticipating the next episodes of the fall anime, which all except for one has really fallen flat. |

| For those looking for it, here is Luminous by Claris in the OP Some movies scenes, including snippets of transformation sequences. SPOILERS! |

| Sounds like they remixed the entire OST. Can't wait for it to come stateside with the other movies. |
| If they did redraw nearly ever scene, I'm wondering if they fixed this error from episode 3 that was left even in the Blu Rays |

I would be extremely overjoyed if you could suggest me an anime to air since Madoka that comes anywhere near it in terms of providing a cohesive story with memorable characters, intriguing plot, immersive soundtrack and most importantly, great pacing. I'm not trolling. If the medium is not improving, then it becomes less and less interesting over time. I even have to say Psycho-Pass (by Urobuchi) didn't hook me like I thought it would. The premise about a system determining whether a person is likely to be a criminal certainly is interesting, but the characters just don't resonate with me at all. Also, I just can't take a show seriously when shooting someone causes them to bulge and explode into a pile of liquid... Of course, I will give it 3 episode before making a final decision on whether to keep with it. |

| I saw the first two movies in Paris yesterday (the screening gathered more than 500 people). But what can I say, it's a recap (well, more like an enhanced compilation) and you already know the story. To give you an idea of what's covered in each movie, the first one ends with Sayaka becoming a witch. |

| I went to the LA showing as well. Pretty good. I like the remixes and added soundtrack. Some of the background was redone nicely (particularly like how the school roof looks like). Other than that, though, pretty sure most (if not all) of the lines were directly taken from the TV series. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
RLinksoul said: Also the mami head scene was very ordinary as usual and will still caught you off guard even though everyone around the freaking theater were like "noooo" "mamita"... bippo said: So basically the same thing? I figured that without the trouble caused by TV airings they'd be able to make that scene more graphic. Maybe not to the manga's degree but a little more than a black headless silhouette in the distance. think in the series she only gets her head eaten. witch went for the whole body in the movie Zfish9 said: Sounds like they remixed the entire OST. Can't wait for it to come stateside with the other movies. yea some songs were remixed. some were kept. just got back form the houston showing. sold out theater for it. first time going ot the theater there so i got kinda lost and left home too late. got there with 10 minutes to spare. had to sit in the front. didnt stop my constant orgasm. loved these movies. think some people cried more than i thouhgt they wouldve. if they saw the series first which they probably did lol. damn i hope they do a worldwide release for the third one. |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Pretty good movie. Even though it was basically the same as the TV series, it was still an interesting watch. I liked the revamped transformation scenes, and the OST seemed to have a mix of the old tracks and some ones I didn't remember from the series. Oh, and that preview makes me want to watch the next movie. Kinda wondering how they'll start another story going. Seems pretty likely they'll show the third movie in the States too, or that PV will be quite cruel. Worst part: no free gifts here. |

| Just got back from the Chicago showing. I'll need to wait till its not 3am to give my true opinions, but all I can say is... So Damn Epic. |
     |
| Well, I watched the 6pm L.A. showing. I thought it was really cool. I brought my friend who doesn't watch anime at all and he liked it a lot as well. Got some free stuff. Very happy. |
Kalafina's Credens Justitiam Kalafina's Sagitta Luminis A great effort, but still doesn't quite capture the same essence as the original versions. The original credens justitam had much more energy in it and sagitta luminis had a much larger buildup. Music purists like myself might also cringe that they don't quite hit the right notes in Sagitta Luminis, but this is probably an early take of this song. I just want new Yuki Kajuira music! |

Movie 3 Trailer Camrip. I found this on another forum. This may be taken off soon so burn this video into your minds! |
|
| Went to the second San Francisco showing today. It was glorious. While "Mirai" doesn't have quite the same level of intensity as "Credens justitiam", I thought the lighter arrangement worked really well. And those lyrics ;_; Also, Sayaka's new transformation sequence had some nice details. |

| Shout out to my buddies who saw this with me on Saturday in Chicago. I wrote a llittle something about the movie on my blog, I hope you guys like it! http://altairandvega.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/madoka-movie-1/ |
| CHICAGO BROS |
| wuaah! I envy you guys.. You got to see the movie :( In my case, need to wait when it comes available in BD or stream online.... |
 |
| Yay for LA film showings!! XD Just got back from the showing at 6! |
| Watched the movie at Singapore's Anime Festival Asia. Can't say it's really epic like in the TV series, since I've already known the plot and all the twists, but still the new animation, music and the free goodies made the 25 dollars worth it. |
| Why cant my stupid country do the same and show the movies here as well? Oh yeah we are still in debt so only Twilight-quality movies for us... |
| I watched both movies in 2 days at AFA Singapore, and honestly it was simply a great experience. It might have been a mere recap of the anime series as a whole, but it didn't fail to grip my emotions, it didn't fail to captivate. Sayaka's painful change into a witch, Mami's head biting experience, Kyoko's last sacrifice. These are all moments that we know and have watched, but it still evokes all those emotions despite that fact. Before the first movie, there was a special segment of the Seiyuus sharing their thoughts about the movie. They mentioned about how they could voice act the characters better after knowing them well this time round. How true. The voice acting was one notch higher than in the anime (not saying that the anime one was bad, it was already good), and we could empathise with the characters that much better. Visuals were stunning, and the new theme song was simply impactful. Besides, its sang by ClariS. Enough said. After the second movie, there was a trailer for the third movie, which features new content (most likely an extension). Best part of the trailer was seeing All in all, the movie experience was stunning and amazing, plus it comes with a bunch of nice premiums such as a poster and movie information booklets containing art. Well worth the money spent, and easily the best part of AFA for me =D |

| Great movie. My theater didn't play the 3rd movie teaser at the end though. |

You should be happy, that you could watch Madoka at least. I live in Germany and actually I am really disappointed, that we didn't get and seemingly don't get the chance to watch the movies in the near future. |

It's just that one of the main reasons I watched it was to see the trailer in a non-cam-ripped form. I also sat through the credits waiting for it. Neither of which was too bad, but whatever. |
