PROLOGUE IN HEAVEN
How awful!
There's nothing you can do.
It's too much for her to handle alone.
She knew this prior to coming.
But this is terrible! It shouldn't be happening!
It's all over if you give up.
But you have the ability to change fate.
This unavoidable destruction and sorrow...
You can change it all.
You have the power to do just that.
Can I really?
Can I do really something to stop all of this?
Can I really change this ending?
Of course you can!
So make a contract with me...
and become a magical girl!
Was it all just a dream?
kawashita yakusoku wasurenai yo
交わした約束忘れないよ
I'll never forget the promises we exchanged
me wo toji tashikameru
目を閉じ確かめる
I still see it when I close my eyes
oshiyoseta yami
押し寄せた闇
I'll move forward as I cast off
furiharattesusumu yo
振り払って進むよ
this darkness engulfing me

I see that lost future again?

I'll walk upon this Earth,

My heart started racing once again to paint the future

Episode 1
I think we met in a dream...
Good morning, Dad.
Good morning, Madoka.
Is Mom up yet?
Tatsuya went to wake her.
Mind giving him a hand?
No problem!
Mommy! Mommy!
It's morning! It's morning!
Wake up! Mommy! Mommy!
Rise and shine!
Huh?
Mommy woke up!
So what's the latest gossip?
Hitomi-chan got another love letter.
That's the second one this month.
Guys who don't have the guts to confess in person are worthless.
And how's Kazuko?
It looks like her new relationship's still going strong.
She's always talking about her boyfriend during homeroom.
This week marks their three-month anniversary, and that's a new record.
We'll see how it works out. This is a tricky time for them.
It is?
If he's not "the one," then they'll start having some problems soon.
If they can get through that, they should be good for the first year.
I see.
All done!
Which ribbons should I wear?
You think? Aren't they too flashy?
They're supposed to be flashy.
We women must always look our best in public.
Perfect. Now your secret admirers will be stuck on you like glue.
You know I don't have any.
You need to act like you do.
That's the secret to being pretty.
Got it.
Be sure to eat it all up.
'kay!
Would you like another cup of coffee?
No, that's fine.
All right, I'm off!
Bye!
Madoka, you should hurry too.
Huh? Oh, right!
See you later!
Bye!
Good morning!
Good morning.
Madoka, you're late.
Oh, cute ribbons.
Y-You think? They're not too flashy?
They're lovely.
So, my mom said that guys who can't ask you out in person are worthless.
Your mom is just too cool, Madoka.
She's beautiful, and she's a successful businesswoman.
I wish it were that easy to reject someone.
What an enviable problem to have!
I know, right? I wish I could get a love letter too.
Oh? So you want to become a beautiful princess like Hitomi?
That's why you started wearing those ribbons, huh?
No! My mom—
I'll bet your mom taught you the secret to being popular!
You dirty girl!
A girl like you needs to be punished!
H-Hey, stop! Stop it!
You're cute, but I won't let you become popular with the guys.
You're going to be my wife!
I have something of utmost importance to discuss with you all today,
so pay very close attention!
Should sunny-side up eggs be hard or soft?!
What do you think, Nakazawa-kun?!
I, uh... I-I guess either way's fine?
That's right! Either way's fine!
And if you think a woman's value is determined by how she cooks her eggs,
then you are horribly mistaken!
Girls, I want you all to make sure not to associate yourselves with picky men who demand soft eggs!
Guess it didn't work out.
You can say that again.
And boys, make sure you don't grow up
to be a nitpicker who demands eggs to be cooked one way, and one way only!
Now then, I'd like to introduce a transfer student who will be joining us.
You should've mentioned that first!
Please come in, Akemi-san.
She's so cute and cool-looking!
Wow, she's beautiful.
Wait... No way.
Why don't you tell the class your name?
I'm Akemi Homura.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Homura Akemi
Um, Akemi-san?
Which school did you come from?
A Christian school in Tokyo.
Were you in any clubs?
Like sports, or art?
No, I wasn't.
Your hair's so beautiful!
What kind of shampoo do you use?
She has a bit of a mysterious aura about her, don't you think?
Hey, Madoka, do you know her?
Wasn't she staring at you earlier?
Well, uh...
I'm sorry.
I guess I'm still under a bit of stress.
I'm not feeling well.
Would you mind if I went to the nurse's office?
Oh, let me show you the way.
I'll come too!
Don't worry about me.
I'll ask the person in charge.
Kaname Madoka-san, you're the health officer for this class, right?
I, uh...
Could you take me to the nurse's office?
She's really cute!
Um, how did you know that I was the health officer?
Ms. Saotome told me.
Oh, I see. Well, the nurse's office is...
This way, right?
Huh? Yeah, but...
It's kinda like you already know the way.
A-Akemi-san?
You can call me Homura.
Homura-chan?
What is it?
I, uh... That's a unique name you have!
I-I don't mean it's weird or anything!
It sounds kinda cool!
Kaname Madoka, do you value your own life?
Do you think dearly of your family and friends?
Well... uh, I... I do.
I love my family and friends.
They mean the world to me.
Is that true?
Of course! Why wouldn't it be?
I see.
If that's true, then you must never think about becoming someone else.
If you do, you'll lose them all.
You just need to remain Kaname Madoka,
as you always have been.

D-Did she just break the prefectural record?
Wait, she said what?!
Doesn't make any sense, does it?
I thought she was one of those smart and beautiful girls...
but it turns out she's just a nutcase.
Just how big of an impression does she have to make on people?
Is that moe? Is that what moe is?
Madoka-san, are you sure you've never met her before?
Well, I guess I'd have to say yes, but...
You "guess"?
Is there something weird you're not telling us?
Well, I think we met in a dream last night... or something.
That's great!
Now you're starting to make an impression!
That's mean!
I'm seriously concerned about this!
There's only one answer, then. You must've known her in a previous life,
and were brought together by fate across time and space to meet once more.
What kind of dream was it?
Honestly, I don't really remember.
All I know is that it was a really weird dream.
Maybe you have met her somewhere before, then.
Huh?
Even though you might not remember her,
your subconscious could have taken note of her, and later brought her image out in a dream.
Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?
I mean, it's just a coincidence.
I suppose so.
Oh, look at the time.
I'm sorry, I have to go.
Piano lessons? Or do you have Japanese dance today?
Today's tea ceremony practice.
Entrance exams are right around the corner, but my mom still wants me to keep this up.
I'm glad I wasn't born rich.
Should we get going too?
Oh, Madoka?
Mind if we stop by the music store on the way home?
Sure.
Buying another CD for Kamijou-kun?
You know how it is.
See you later.
See you!
Bye-bye!
Save me.
Save me, Madoka!
Save me.
Who's there?
Save me.

Where are you?
Who are you?
Save me.
Was that you?
Save me...
Homura-chan?
Step away from that thing.
B-But he's hurt.
N-No! Please don't hurt him!
This has nothing to do with you.
But he was calling me!
He was begging for me to save him!
I see.
Madoka, this way!
Sayaka-chan!
Of all times...
What's with her?
Does she go around attacking people while cosplaying?!
What's that thing?
It's not a stuffed animal, is it?
Is it alive?
I don't know.
I don't know, but...
I have to save him!
Huh? Where's the emergency exit?
Where are we?
Something is not right.
The corridor keeps changing.
Damn it!
What the hell's going on?!
I-I see something over there!
This can't be happening, right?
I mean, this has to be a bad dream or something, right?
Right, Madoka?!
Huh? What was that?
What the...
That was pretty close, but everything's okay now.
Oh, you saved Kyubey?
Thank you.
He's a dear friend of mine.
He was calling out to me.
I heard his voice in my head.
I see.
Judging by your uniforms, I assume you're also Mitakihara students.
Are you juniors?
Who are you?
How rude of me.
I haven't introduced myself yet.
But before that...
allow me to take care of a little something first, would you?
W-Wow...
W-We're back!
The witch got away.
If you want to hunt it down, you'll need to chase after it quickly.
I'll give you this one.
I'm here on business.
You don't seem to understand me.
I'm saying I'll let you go.
Would it not be better for both of us to avoid any unnecessary trouble?
Thank you, Mami.
You saved me.
You should thank these two.
I was just passing by.
Thank you very much.
My name is Kyubey!
Were you the one who was calling for me?
That's right, Kaname Madoka and Miki Sayaka!
H-How do you know our names?
I have a request for you two.
A request?
I want you two to make contracts with me and become magical girls!

I can grant each of you one wish.
Wait, really?
What kind of wish?
Anything you want.
I can fulfill any miracle you wish for.
