The director of Puella Magi Madoka Magica has spoken of his wish to make a second season of Madoka, as a “slice-of-life” anime.
Shaft producer and director Akiyuki Shinbo was recently interviewed about the future of Madoka:
There wasn’t much in the way of smiling faces, and there was much in the way of sad scenes, so if possible I’d like to do ‘Madoka 2′ as an extra story [bangaihen - i.e. a spin-off like Railgun vs Index].
[...]
With the strong characters we developed, it seems a waste to have to lose them like this, so I think we could make a slice-of-life story with them. I’d like to see an ordinary slice-of-life with them.
These remarks rather add to the doubts as to whether any of the cast will even survive the events of the first season…

Madoka Season 2 comes with 20% more Morning Lescue.
And NOW with "Mourning Rescue" http://i.imgur.com/LxwFj.png
No no....u mean "Molning Lescue "
MOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGG LLLLLLLLLLEEEEESSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCUUUUUUUUUEEEEEE!
Ahh you are perhaps confused with "Moaning Lescue"
Lol every girl will be dead by the start of second season.
I dunno, time travel tropes offer great wonders you see.
"I’d like to see an ordinary slice-of-life"
I think he meant slicing of life.
"I'd like to see an evenmoar awesomesauce slice-and-dice with them."
^ yes, i'd like that too.
oh yes. i remember Urobuchi mentioned that we wanted to create "heartwarming" story in Madoka... we all know how it turned up)
i guess they just want to take us by surprise once again)
QB is heartwarmingly cute, though ^ ‿‿ ^
'Kyu' in "Kyuubey" is 'Kyu' as in "Cute"!
uh-huh...
since when did people take Urobutcher seriously?
I hope Shinbo did not mean to slice the lives of our heroines literally.
Oh and I love the K-ON! parody, though I would like to see the Madoka and Homura version.
For some reason, I wanna shoot QB until it brain spraying all over the place. Such evil creature need to be terminated !
Urobuchi is pretty good at creating troll BS, but he still has a long way to reach the level of Kubo.
That reminds me of old joke ( Sorry for poor Polish to English translation. ):
-Are two guys enough to put a wallpaper on all walls in flat?
-Depends on how thin you will slice them.
21:42, Joke still came out good, well written, never heard that one before :D
I dont get it D:
I lol'd.
Or a slice of their lives.
Slice-of-life for 2 episodes then bring out the twist from 3 onwards
Lol.
Sounds like the director started feeling sorry for the characters, and now wants to make it up to them?
Watching mahou shoujos be decimated like this does kind of leave a hole in your heart after all...
the 3rd season will be a mecha anime and the 4th will be a hardcore tentacle hentai.
Fund it!!
OFF WITH HER HEAD!!
I sense another "nice boat" coming our way.
I would like to see that happen.
homura found the 'good end' route
You mean homura found the 'harlem end' route :3
So what's your point? Obviously that's the "good end" route.
Apocalypse Ending
Homura, go to Yokosuka US naval Base, using time manipulation she stole US Navy Trident ICBM.
She use Those to defeat walpurgis, and trigger nuclear war with China and Sovyet
International incident? inb4metalgear
Regardless, if the anime does take that route later on(and considering what we've seen until now, it's pretty plausible), it would be interesting to watch.
Up until now, Mahou Shoujo genre has always been detached from reality. It would be a breath of fresh air if there's a Mahou Shoujo show that breaks that tradition for once. This show isn't geared towards kids anyway so I see no reason for restraint.
Mahou shoujo that use Realistic Weapon of Mass Destruction sure was New
I didn't know Madoka was in New York... >.> That explains why Homura can get guns so easily.
you are attracted to undeveloped sexual organs and naive minds
By "slice" of life, I think he means beheading.
Will never happen as long as Uro G is part of the team
Gonna sux, just like K-on!
And yet its still the best-selling anime in History :V
who cares. to some it IS "best selling", but 4 me, its suX.
God no! I want more tragedy that's the appeal of Madoka we get enough moeblob crap with KO-N!
Real Life is a Tragedy by itself already, why bother infecting anime with it as well?
Next we'll have ppl thanking 'God' for Tragedies in Life and Anime
You forgot that idiot CAPS poster here on Sancom
R you -by any chance- a Masochist?
Bring out the 'M' alerter :o
"The director of Puella Magi Madoka Magica has spoken of his wish to make a second season of Madoka, as a “slice-of-life” anime."
Did someone said "wish"?...
Why would they turn something so fresh and original into a generic piece of crap?
Madoka director wants some easy money
I'm fine with this as long as they make a return to form with Season 3.
