The greatest anime of the 2010s, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, finally returns this summer, and it’s already stunning in a major trailer. After a phenomenal breakout season of television in 2011 and an amazing theatrical sequel in 2013, Madoka Magica has been developing a new film, Walpurgisnacht Rising, to finish the original story, and after numerous delays over the years, the film will finally premiere on August 28 in Japan, with international releases likely later in the year.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht Rising has been a long time coming, and there’s even more reason to be excited about it. A new trailer for Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht Rising has just been released, and not only does it confirm that the film is sticking with its summer release date, but it also gives the best look at the film’s action and story to date. Sure enough, the new Puella Magi Madoka Magica movie looks to be nothing short of amazing, and its summer release cannot come soon enough.
Why Puella Magi Madoka Magica’s New Movie Will Be Amazing
The new Puella Magi Madoka Magica movie, Walpurgisnacht Rising, will be an amazing film to behold, and its new trailer is perfect proof of that. For starters, while Madoka Magica has always been known for its surreal, creative, and all-around gorgeous animation, Walpurgisnacht Rising appears to be taking things to another level entirely, with the trailer alone showing off some of the most amazing visuals in the entire franchise. Most of the anime’s original staff are returning for Walpurgisnacht Rising, and it’s great to see that they’ve evolved their craft to such a degree.
More than that, of course, is the story that will be told. Walpurgisnacht Rising is set to resolve both Homura’s turn to villainy and how much she’s destroyed herself trying to protect Madoka, and if the trailer is anything to go by, the film will get incredible mileage out of every emotional turn for as much catharsis as possible. That, when combined with the visual storytelling, will make the film a perfect ending to Madoka Magica, and the finished product will undoubtedly be amazing to watch unfold.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica Remains An All-Time Masterpiece Of An Anime
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht Rising looks amazing, and it perfectly highlights how incredible the original Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime is. Whether it’s through its gorgeous visuals or its emotional and deconstructive storytelling, Puella Magi Madoka Magica has always been one of the best anime a person can watch, and the fact that it still holds up so well after 15 years is a massive testament to its strengths and the talent of the team behind it.
The Greatest Anime Of Every Year Of The 2010s
There’s no denying that the 2010s were a big decade for anime fans, and these are the biggest anime from each year of that specific era.
There’s never been an anime with as stellar a production and storytelling as Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and 15 years later, its new film is all set to take that to its logical extreme as one of the best-looking and best-written films a person can ask for. If this trailer is anything to go by, Puella Magi Madoka Magica will end on nothing but a high note when the new film releases on August 28, and hopefully, it won’t be long before the rest of the world can experience it
