S1 was so bad no one is going to care. It is only selling off name alone.


The anime was one of the most successful in Japan in sales, views and ratings. So no, it's not. Even more when much more japanese knew about the gacha than westerns.

Since the season 1 was mostly episodic and advertisement for the game only I probably won't watch season 2. (Unleass the year/season it airs is pretty weak and there is almost no other stuff left to watch.)

We didn't really need that. More of the original series would have been better. But I guess the game companies have too much money again. (Reminds of Cygames who also push a lot of game adaptions with mediocre story. Few exceptions there though. But I think there the anime story was original and only the setting taken from the game.)


Aniplex is the major funding company for Magia Record anime much like they were for the original Madoka. The difference is that Aniplex published the Magia Record gacha. But they aren't a game company, they are an anime distributor from Sony Music Japan.
Being a top seller don't mean nothing for the quality compared to original seires. It has none of the heart. Madoka was never a mindless franchise, but they made it one. People watched it and bought it because of the name / attachment to a gambling game. It's pure milking for money, as the series was a stand alone story told in original.

It's true the name Madoka helps to attract players, but no one stays just for them.

Well this was obvious. Magia went at a snails pace which would be fine if they actually achieved anything they aimed to do (Ui, The New reason why people dont turn into witches, why Uwasa's are needed or a thing), they didnt explain anything of importance and most of the end part of the series was just one big sequel bait. Oh but dont worry, they explaiened to us that magical girls become witches, they spent a nice amount of time on that but kind of missed the more important thing to explain, because, s.e.q.u.e.l..b.a.i.t.i.n.g

A little too much by the looks of it cause it makes season 1 look like a huge prologue for season 2.

It's not customary to reveal the solution to the big mystery halfway through the story. But a lot was revealed about the Magius and why magical girls don't turn into witches.

If I'm guessing right, the next season would probably start with Madoka (maybe along with Homura) saving Iroha and thus becoming friends.

Watching season 1 and enjoying it, I take it the score is low on MAL because of mainly toxic trolls as per usual with this website?

If people are giving it low scores because it isn't as dark as the original series then what we're they expecting knowing that this is made from a game and wasn't written by urobuchi.

I'm just enjoying it for what it is, but hey I'm old and I don't get involved with hype and Anime drama like a lot of people on this site seem to.

A lot of the low scores came from people who wanted a sequel to Rebellion and got upset that this happened instead

Season 2 will be good for sure and free from low ratings. It happens when people compare a 13 episode show with not a 13 episode show. It's not a direct sequel to the original so the typical fans get frustrated when they aren't offered what they have longed for. So basically it doesn't meet their expectations. Game audience love it.

Does the original even need a sequel? I thought Rebellion was pretty conclusive.

If they made a sequel and it wasn't written and directed by the same people I think I'd rather they didn't bother. I don't mind in this Animes case as this is as spin off so it's different.

Hoping it have better directing than season 1. If i didn't played the game before hand i would've totally confuse and blindly hating Iroha for not having personality. The Mikazuki Villa in this season is not properly portrayed tbh
