Gekijouban Madoka☆Magica: "Shinpen" Hangyaku no Monogatari

Released in 2013, Gekijouban Madoka☆Magica: Shinpen - Hangyaku no Monogatari, or Rebellion, serves as the third film in the Puella Magi Madoka Magica franchise. It was produced by studio Shaft under the direction of Akiyuki Shinbo and Yukihiro Miyamoto, following the conclusion of the original television series. The narrative was conceived to expand upon the metaphysical consequences of the show's finale, shifting the focus toward the perspective of Homura Akemi and exploring the psychological toll of her actions within the series' established magical system.

The film is notable for its intricate visual style, which maintains the signature surrealism and experimental aesthetic of the series. The character designs were overseen by Takahiro Kishida based on Ume Aoki’s original concepts, while Gekidan Inu Curry provided the distinct, collage-like animation for the labyrinth sequences. Upon its release, the film was met with significant critical attention for its bold narrative departure and technical execution, eventually becoming one of the highest-grossing films in the franchise and solidifying its place in modern magical girl cinema.
