Having a loving family, close friends, experiencing times of joy and times of sadness. These are the things that make up an ordinary life. Kaname Madoka is a normal 2nd year middle-schoolgirl who lives such an ordinary life. Until, that is, a strange encounter occurs. She does not know if this encounter is coincidence, or the vagaries of fate, but two things are certain... This is the moment when her destiny changes... This is the start of a new magical girl story! ~ translated and adapted from the official site by Cranston Note: Won the Television Award at the 16th Animation Kobe Awards (2011), 12 NewType Anime Awards, including Best Anime Series, Director, Screenplay, and Design, and the Grand Prize in the animation category at the 15th Japan Media Arts Festival.
