Puella Magi Madoka Magica fans have been left in no doubt as to the fact Madoka and company have made it big – Sanrio have granted them their own line of Hello Kitty merchandise (in this case featuring My Melody), an honour even K-ON! has been denied and Bakemonogatari could probably never even hope for…
The goods themselves are due for release in July, so as to coincide with the probable huge popularity of the upcoming movies:
Whilst it is hard (though not too hard) to imagine the core fans of the series queuing up to buy such goodies, they certainly suggest a wider audience is expected.
This is aimed at the Otaku/Furry/Seasoned Sanrio Collectors.
the My Melody franchise is not JUST for kids you know.
A perfect present for all the otaku girlfriends and imoutos!
of course every girl should watch Madoka because we don’t want little girls to sign any contracts without knowing the consequences of their actions
We don’t? I don’t see any downsides to having real world magical girls…
and real world witches?
It’s not like we can see them anyway.
Make a contract with me and become a Puella Magi! ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
He’ll just switch bodies and eat himself.
lol, u got line-wrapped
Well, one more in the trend. Sanrio will release a evangelion-hello kitty line in the next months featuring Asuka and Rei.

Absurd to ever considering K-ON! or Bakemonogatari had a chance of being imagined by Sanrio. Characters in those series are just too old (even Mayoi for Sanrio’s weird standards).
As for this, well I couldn’t care less.
