The video game and anime community has been captivated by Puella Magi Madoka Magica, a series that has left a lasting mark on many fans since its debut in 2011. With its unique narrative and thrilling twists, Puella Magi Madoka Magica inspired a mobile game called Puella Magi Madoka Magica Gaiden or MagiReco for short, which was released on August 22, 2017.
The game introduced a new story with the magical girl Iroha Tamaki, whose story had some gaps that will finally be filled with the arrival of the anime prequel, “scene0” to the game.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica Gaiden clears fans’ doubts with the arrival of “scene0” to the video game
The announcement was made yesterday through a post on the game’s official account. This small DLC, if we can call it that, is part of the animated version, Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story, which has a chapter titled “scene0”, and which will now delight all fans with extra content in MagiReco.
As you just saw, the extra content that comes with scene0 is the new version for the gacha of the beautiful magical girl Madoka Kaname, titled: Madoka Kaname Ver. scene0, which will be accompanied by the Memory “Awakened Heart”, among other cosmetics.
Along with this new limited-time gacha, a new magical girl named Mabuya Aki will also arrive, who will be voiced by the seiyu Saori Hayami (Shinobu Kochō, Yukino Yukinoshita, Yor Forger, and many more). You can take a first look at her below along with the main theme for this prequel, titled GLOW by the artist Shiyui. You can enjoy all this new content starting from October 17.
As I mentioned, Puella Magi Madoka Magica Gaiden has an animated version that you can watch on the platform Crunchyroll, but if you prefer to enjoy the original version first, here is a brief summary of its story:
In exchange for having their greatest wish granted, Magical Girls fight tirelessly without the rest of the world knowing… but Iroha Tamaki doesn’t remember what her wish was. What did I wish for when I became a Magical Girl? There is an empty space in her life. There is something important that has disappeared, but she keeps fighting every day, even though she doesn’t know why. That’s when a rumor begins to spread among Magical Girls… “Magical Girls can be saved if they go to Kamihama”.
