Thank you to everyone who has been supporting us for 10 years. It would be great if we continue moving on again on the 10th anniversary! Screenwriter: Urobuchi Gen (Nitroplus) 10 years. Taking a look back, it was a crazy era. To the extent that an upright and immovable life-sized Gundam started to move. It's getting harder day by day to recollect the everyday life of those days when there were no smartphones, apps, gachas, or Uber services. Still, the excitement of going to Shaft's conference room for writing the script hasn't faded. I am very pleased that our work has not been forgotten and that there will be a new project to celebrate the 10th anniversary. Kaname Madoka: Yuuki Aoi Thank you for loving "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" for 10 years. The crush I felt when I met Madoka 10 years ago and the various emotional things during the performance are still influencing me as a human being. I've grown up completely, so if I look back on it now, I wonder if I will feel something new. I wanted to look back. I would be very happy if "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" will remain in your hearts.
