Gen Urobuchi wants to write stories that can warm people's hearts. |
--Gen Urobuchi, Afterword to Volume 1 of Fate/Zero And with Madoka, he finally was able to write a heartwarming story in keeping with the above. Well... kind of. |
A “magical girl show” is a work that allows miracles to be written. For me, I think by [writing] Madoka I was able to write a “heartwarming story.” To be able to put all these different emotions into a work... that truly owes much to this vessel called the “magical girl show”.
—Gen Urobuchi, DVD/BD Volume 6 Booklet.

Yeah, it's that kind of show.
—The little line that ends most Puella Magi Madoka Magica examples on trope pages, often potholed to Darker and Edgier or Deconstruction.

—Episode 9, moments before Kyouko's Heroic Sacrifice.
