Hello everyone~! I'm Saori from Otaku Republic!

This time! The release date shifted back and forth, but it's finally decided to open at the end of this month! After 13 years since the previous work... what on earth kind of story will be depicted?

Everyone! The release date of this movie... have you forgotten it!? Actually, I was also thinking, was it around January 2027...? But after several release date changes, it has become the end of this month! But once again... what should we review in advance? What should we know? Since there seem to be many elements you are curious about, let's review lightly~!

First, as for the works to review before watching Walpurgisnacht: Rising, all 13 episodes of the anime series broadcast in 2011, and its sequel Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Movie: Rebellion released in 2013, are essential! Because Walpurgisnacht: Rising is the latest installment of the TV series and movie version continuing this story, it might be tough for people who haven't seen either yet, but you definitely should check out both!

A world where girls who obtained transformation abilities in exchange for their wishes defeat the menacing existence of witches infesting the town. In the anime version, Madoka, the protagonist, succeeds in creating a world where witches do not exist by becoming a goddess.

However, in the movie version, the goddess = part of the world, and Homura, who wants to meet Madoka just once more whom she can never meet again, becomes a devil, drags Madoka down from the position of goddess, and rules the world herself, a timeline where their reunion came true. And in the latest movie version, in a world that became peaceful even while the ruler of the world changed to Devil Homura... two girls appear who defeat enemies that can only be defeated by magical girls, despite not being magical girls.

They say... 'We will not forgive Homura Akemi.'

Although distorted, a world where Homura could spend time together with Madoka that she finally obtained. In the world that she was supposed to have ruled perfectly even by becoming a devil herself, what on earth is happening...? Being kept waiting for 13 years is the same for fans! Too curious! What on earth... what on earth will be depicted for the first time in 13 years!! Can't wait!

Everyone, please check out the long-awaited latest movie version, Puella Magi Madoka Magica Walpurgisnacht: Rising, which fans have really been waiting 13 years for!
