Yesterday a major earthquake was recorded in Fukushima prefecture in Japan, leaving more than 150 people injured and multiple damage to buildings near the epicenter. However, after the shock and after it was reported that there was no human loss in the incident, people began to upload photos to different social networks to report the small or large disasters that the earthquake had caused in the homes or businesses of citizens of the region.

Among these publications, a series of very particular photos began to go viral, which show a figure of Madoka Kaname, protagonist of the original series of Shaft Studios, Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Gaiden (Puella Magi Madoka Magica), in a very recognizable position for all anime fans. The Twitter user and author of the photographs pizamanmgmg_1 revealed that he found his figure in that condition when he began to assess the damage that had occurred in his home. He also clarified that he has not manipulated the figure at all and it was that peculiar position that led him to upload the photo, which already has thousands of interactions.
In the original publication, the user mentions: "Look how I found Madoka, lying and in such a stupid position".

The original anime was created by the creative group Magica Quartet, made up of director Akiyuki Shinbo, screenwriter Gen Urobuchi, character designer Ume Aoki and producer Atsuhiro Iwakami, and premiered on January 7, 2011 with a total of twelve episodes. The work has inspired a large number of spin-off manga, novels and video games, some of which have inspired their own anime adaptations.
Synopsis of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Madoka Kanami and Sayaka Miki are regular high school girls with regular lives, but that all changes when they meet Kyuubey, a magical cat-like creature, and Homura Akemi, the new transfer student. Kyuubey offers them a proposition: he will grant any of their wishes and, in return, each of them will become a magical girl (mahou shoujo), gaining the power to fulfill their dreams.
However, Homura Akemi, who is already a magical girl, urges them not to accept the offer, claiming that it is not as good as it sounds. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica is a story of hope, despair and friendship, dealing with the difficulties of becoming and being a magical girl, and the great price that must be paid to make a dream come true.
