I wouldn't mind more stories in the Madoka universe, but with their popularity I guess there's zero chance of them going with a new cast.
Duckroll made his wish back during the episode gap that the ending wouldn't suck, so that wish was powerful enough to sustain him a while.

Madoka movie? I hope its largely action with all named characters, and limited slice of life segments (ie like the tone of ep 3, 10-end)

It's kind of a weird thing about Keaton. It's so different from the usual anime that it doesn't appeal to the usual anime fan, while still being a little too familiar and dry for a non-anime fan to pick up on their own. There's no 'flash' to Keaton like there is for other mainstream faves like Bebop or Samurai Champloo. And from what I've seen (which isn't much further than you) it doesn't have the edge of things like CSI which it is otherwise similar to. I think it had a problem with tension as well, which I guess is what happens when you have an episodic show with a character who always has the answers.
Still, it was definitely intended to be that way and it works. Much like the similarly episodic Mushishi and Natsume Yuujinchou (at least the first couple of seasons), it gives you a good feeling afterward. As far as non-fans go it is something I would recommend, but only once I knew what someone's tastes were. It is aimed at the kind of people who don't need constant juvenile stimulation to stay interested in a show.
And that makes it a fantastic palate cleanser for a current anime fan.

Now, excuse me while I try to recover from all that fabulous max insanity before I get a heart attack.
It's one thing I wish Penguindrum had was more architecture porn.

So there's no Madoka movie after all?
You could also you know, inform us of what the tweet actually says for us for those who unfortunately don't know the know the language.

For those without Japanese knowledge, this tweet is from an anime retailer and basically says "What? The next Newtype cover only has Nanoha on it." Seems like it was a convincing fake after all.

Wait people are saying the Madoka announcement might be fake. Who do I trust, duckroll!?
In an attempt to make sense of this whole Madoka Twitter thing, I 'discovered' that Google Translate will actually read out Japanese that you put into the translate box. Neat.
It seems like the retailer HMV is doing damage control, saying that they are trying to stop the spread of unconfirmed information. But I can't fully trust Google Translate.

Duckroll you should ban yourself. 
Squid Girl & the Order of the Seaweed 05: That may not have been as funny as previous episodes, but it surely was very cute. I can't help but like the sense of child-like wonder Squid Girl oozes in every story. She is moé in a way that doesn't imply fetishism, but rather pure innocence and, at times, infantile malice. Episodes with the young side of the cast are very great in pointing that aspect of her character out.
One of my contenders for show of the season!

I don't know what you guys are saying about me, but it's disturbing. For the record, I really believe that ABF outstrips me in terms of word count in 99% of all cases.Dresden said:
Also, what's with the HUGE yellow subs? They take up 20% of the movie and they're in the middle?
