Puella Magi Madoka Magica rocked the entire anime community when it was first released back in 2011. Quite possibly Gen Urobuchi’s most successful work, Madoka Magica introduced anime fans to a bright, colorful world that wasn’t what it seemed. By the end of episode three and after witnessing Mami Tomoe’s demise, viewers were made painfully aware of what type of anime Madoka Magica was shaping up to be—but this should have been expected with the Urobutcher behind the wheel, a moniker he earned with his often hard-hitting, blood-soaked narratives. When Gen is involved, there’s likely to be a good amount of death. And although he already put the magical girl quintet through the wringer, he wasn’t quite done with them yet.Gen Urobuchi is known for his somber, often depressing works, such as Psycho-Pass and Fate/Zero. With Madoka Magica, Gen successfully subverted audience expectations by pretending that the series was meant to be a cheerful, bright magical girl series about friendship overcoming all instead of the bloodbath it turned out to be. When the series received a sequel film in Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie III: Rebellion, fans weren’t sure what to expect. After all, the original series seemed to wrap up nicely, and Homura seemed to accept her new world and Madoka’s final decision. Audiences were surely expecting to see more about the mysterious Wraiths that were teased in the post-credits scene of Madoka Magica’s final episode, and while Wraiths did have a minor place in the sequel film, they weren’t the focus of it at all. Gen had a lot of surprises in store for Madoka Magica’s most dedicated fans, and Rebellion’s ending has been quite divisive among the fanbase.In 2013’s Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part III: Rebellion, the magical girls’ world seemed to be entirely reset. Mami Tomoe, Madoka Kaname, Sayaka Miki, Kyoko Sakura, and Homura Akemi start off the film with a wonderfully animated sequence depicting them taking out a Nightmare. The destruction and ferocity that fans knew from the Madoka Magica anime series were replaced with a colorful scene and ad-libbed song that put the Nightmare to sleep and allowed the quintet to defeat their quarry peacefully. However, astute viewers should have recognized something slightly off: the cute, whimsical, cheese-loving creature Bebe, who bears an awfully striking resemblance to the Witch that kills Mami in episode 3. Furthermore, the magical girl quintet was defeating a Nightmare—not the Wraiths that were spoken of at the end of Madoka Magica. Was Rebellion fated to join the ranks of anime movies that aren’t canon to the main series?RELATED: How Dark Magical Girls Became a Passing Fad After Madoka Magica
