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…

homura found the 'good end' route
You mean homura found the 'harlem end' route :3
I didn't know Madoka was in New York... >.> That explains why Homura can get guns so easily.
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
So what's your point? Obviously that's the "good end" route.
you are attracted to undeveloped sexual organs and naive minds
I'd watch it.
Agreed, kinda like the characters (well there are exceptions hehe) of that show. So yeah i hope they continue with that plan.
Wouldn't be too bad, I always thought the opening seemed more suited to a ongoing anime kinda a slice of life as a mahou shoujo.
the OP was just for trolling
anything that could have possibly led you to believe that it's an ordinary cutesy mahou shoujo anime was just for trolling
OP was just bait to lure you further into the series before mami-ing your innocence...
i hope this is all trolling
id rather see mami die 1000x than suffer the rape of the whole series as a run of the mill cutesy BS show
I for one, would love it to be turned into one season of slice-of-life like Hidamari Sketch... Then come 3rd season, and we're back to full-on life-slicing.
totally agree. it's already trolling us. and hell I like the way he troll~
I know it prity much is a troll but I still like it ◕ ‿‿ ◕
I don't think I really mind it.
Only if it would have lots of yuri like all those fan made comics and illustrations.
Yeah! That would be awesome!
It would probably sell even better than the original.
Madoka Director？
Akiyuki Shinbo!!!
2nd season.. cool..
ooh slice of life, name it Hida... no chidamari sketch
WTF (=[]=')
Why you did not do it in the first place.
Because then the anime wouldn't have been nearly as unique and making a second season in this way would hardly have been as interesting? Don't tell me you wanted Madoka to be more generic in the first place. Wtf?
He's probably one of those faggots who thought Sugar Sugar Rune is the absolute deepest piece of literature ever created by mankind.
I sense another "nice boat" coming our way.
I would like to see that happen.
"I’d like to see an ordinary slice-of-life"
I think he meant slicing of life.
Or a slice of their lives.
"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?
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.
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.
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.
I lol'd.
21:42, Joke still came out good, well written, never heard that one before :D
I dont get it D:
OFF WITH HER HEAD!!
the 3rd season will be a mecha anime and the 4th will be a hardcore tentacle hentai.
Fund it!!
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...
Lol.
Slice-of-life for 2 episodes then bring out the twist from 3 onwards
Strong characters?! Seriously? The boring characters are the greatest weakness of the story! Some of them have potential, though: a slice of life spin-off might improve and deepen the characters. Of course, that is only if they get a scriptwriter more specialized in dialogue, character building and comedy.
Well, those 'I'll confess, if you don't' episodes did leave some awkward impression. As if like 50 pages of smooth texts got recycled into four rigid seconds of screentime.
Second that. These girls have no souls. Just dolls for people with sick minds to play with.
Of course that they are strong, Homuhomu can use a machinegun, she MUST be strong!
