The upcoming Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht Rising movie unveiled its main trailer featuring the theme song by FictionJunction on Monday. It is set to premiere in Japan on August 28. Studio Shaft will animate the movie. It was previously delayed to February 2026 due to production issues, before another delay, which pushed it to the current release schedule.
Created by the Magica Quartet (Akiyuki Shinbo, Ume Aoki, Gen Urobuchi, and producer Atsuhiro Iwakami), Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime series premiered in January 2011 and ran for 12 episodes with studio Shaft in charge of the animation. The cast includes:
- Aoi Yuki as Madoka Kaname
- Chiwa Saito as Homura Akemi
- Kaori Mizuhashi as Mami Tomoe
- Ai Nonaka as Kyoko Sakura
- Eri Kitamura as Sayaka Miki
- Emiri Kato as Kyubey
Following the anime series’ main story conclusion, the franchise has since expanded into various media, including several manga adaptations, a novel by Nitroplus, a dedicated magazine, and video games. In October 2012, two recap films, Beginnings and Eternal, were released, which condensed the anime’s events with some new material. A third film, Rebellion, was released in October 2013, continuing the story with a fresh story that served as a prequel to Walpurgisnacht.
