Too bad things [[Deal with the Devil|simply are not]] [[Cosmic Horror Story|as they seem to be.]]
Bringing together an all-star staff, '''''Puella Magi Madoka Magica''''' has [[Studio Shaft]] animating, Shaft's primary director [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Aki]][[Bakemonogatari|yuki]] [[Lyrical Nanoha|Shinbo]] directing, [[Yuki Kajiura]] producing the music, [[Nitroplus|Nitro+]]'s [[Gen Urobuchi]] writing and [[Ume Aoki]] designing the characters for Shaft's first [[Anime First|original series]]. The show started airing in January as part of the Winter 2011 season, though it was put on a temporary hiatus [[Too Soon|due to the Sendai earthquakes in Japan]]. [https://www.animenewsnetwork.cc/news/2011-04-10/madoka-magica-anime-to-resume-on-april-21 The final two episodes were broadcast back-to-back on April 21st;] [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|the initial announcement was met with much rejoicing]]. [https://www.animenewsnetwork.cc/news/2011-06-21/1-million-stream-free-madoka-magica-in-japan-taiwan When it was aired on Nico Nico Douga], over one million people watched. Compare this to [[Lucky Star]]'s similar stream, which had over ''half'' a million.
Initially, there were three manga series related to this anime. The first is a direct adaptation of the television series, under the same title. The others are [[Spin-Off|Spin Offs]]. ''[[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica]]: The Innocent Malice'' focuses on a different cast of [[Magical Girl]]s while ''[[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]]'' features characters from the anime as well as several new characters. For both of these series, it is strongly recommended to watch ''Puella Magi Madoka Magica'' first since they reveal critical plot elements from the anime. Some time after the anime ended, an official but noncanon manga anthology series was released.
