Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story
On Tokyo MX
A surreal, conspiracy-laden magical girl story that trades the original's existential horror for memory loss and systemic deception, maintaining high strangeness and melancholy across a complete 25-episode arc.
Few people know the truth: the world is safe thanks to the Magical Girls who are forced to slay Witches. Even though these girls are putting their lives on the line for a wish, rumors say they can be saved in Kamihama City. That’s where Iroha Tamaki is headed in search of answers; she can’t remember the wish she made to Kyubey.
