Synopsis

Madoka Kaname and her best friend Sayaka Miki are ordinary middle school students in the city of Mitakihara. But one day, they encounter a strange cat-like creature named Kyuubey, who claims he can grant them one wish. In exchange, they would become magical girls and fight against evil perpetrated by witches. A veteran magical girl in the area, Mami Tomoe, decides to show them how to hunt witches, while the mysterious transfer student Homura Akemi warns them to not take Kyuubey's deal, though she refuses to say why. However, after witnessing the brutal reality of fighting witches, the girls decide it may be safer to decline Kyuubey's offer. But when another magical girl arrives in the city and Sayaka decides to make a wish to help the one she loves, things quickly escalate as they are confronted with the harsh truth behind their powers and the ultimate price of their wishes. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Quick Takes

View all 4 takes
For new fans and for older fans, this movie is absolutely for you. It breathes in new life to the story we know and love, from beautiful animation to great voice acting. If you're not a fan of recap films, this isn't for you. But to those who enjoy them, you'll have a great time
Looked cute at first, but the story slowly became darker and more emotional. The characters felt real here, the music was powerful, and the animation style was unique and beautiful. Every scene carried mystery, tension, and strong emotions without feeling forced. Nice movie!
This movie is a total psychological trap and the visual overhaul is actually insane. We finally get the refined lore and character depth needed to make Sayaka’s descent feel even more tragic.
