The original anime premiered during the Winter-2021
season (January-March) and had twelve episodes. After two compilation films,
the third, titled “ Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica: Hangyaku no Monogatari ”
served as a direct sequel when it premiered in October 2013.

with a total of thirteen episodes. A second season of eight episodes followed

this was all a spin-off, not a direct sequel.
Synopsis of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Madoka Kanami and Sayaka Miki are
regular high school girls with regular lives, but all that changes when they
encounter Kyuubey, a magical cat-like creature, and Homura Akemi, the new
transfer student. Kyuubey offers them a proposal: he will grant any of her
wishes and, in exchange, each of them will become a magical girl (mahou
shoujo), gaining the power to fulfill her dreams.
However, Homura Akemi, who is already a
magical girl, urges them not to accept the offer, stating that it is not as
good as it sounds. This is a story of hope, desperation and friendship, about
the difficulties of becoming and being a magical girl, and the great price that
must be paid to make a dream come true.
