I really hope so, he's my favorite director and I can't think of anyone else to make a madoka anime besides him.

IIRC shinbou hasn't actually directed anything in a decade. miyamoto yukihiro was the director for madoka

Yukihiro only directed Rebellion, right?

he was the series director for madoka as well. shinbou has been pretty much the face for shaft for awhile, chief director is just a title.

Shinbo "co-directs" basically ever SHAFT anime in that he directs the entire studio, but he hasn't been series director for a long time for anything. Yukihiro Miyamoto was the series director and the co-director for Rebellion.

Considering Rebellion is one of the most beautiful pieces of feature length animation ever created, I am looking forward to Miyamoto returning, since he hasn't directed all too much since Rebellion. But if he is NOT returning, that might actually be a good sign-- it would mean that he's too busy with the actual next installment of the series.

Would be nice and all, but if Yuki Kajiura isn’t on the project then there’ll be problems

What the hell is this? Is it a worthy follow-up or is it worthless spin-off fanfiction?

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

I am legitimately worried about this. Its background seems real questionable. I don't want this installment to tarnish an otherwise perfect franchise.

Yeah, I really hope this falls into the right hands. Idk about the extended madoka magica universe so hopefully this will be a quality anime instalment that makes sense of everything and brings us back to the brilliance of the main series. Hoping for studio Shaft and at least some of the same staff as before.

I just hope this does well so we can finally get a continuation after Rebellion.

Rebellion's cliffhanger ending still kills me inside. I will never be able to rest until the plot is resolved.

I don't think Shinbo really directs half of the shit he's credited to these days. His staff knows his style well enough to mimic him well enough for most people not to notice.

You know it. Her music is so ominous, I don’t think the series would be the same without her.

Absolutely. When I think of Madoka Magica, I think of Kajiura's music. That's not to take away from the great story or characters or anything - I'm just saying that her music is a HUGE contributing factor to why the series is so great. I definitely agree with you.

She has a really unique style, in a good way. So much so, that when I was watching Kara no Kyoukai for the first time and heard the music, I shouted "this is DEFINITELY Yuki Kajimura!" Sure enough, it was. The same was true when I watched the Princess Principal PVs.
