From January 7, 2025, Aniplex will stream an episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica every week for free. It will only stream each episode once, so it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to catch it via archives if you miss the stream.
The reason why Aniplex will start from January 7, 2025 is to match up with the original broadcast date of the anime. Back when Puella Magi Madoka Magica first started airing in 2011, it started on January 7. You’ll be able to catch the streams every Tuesday from 9:00 PM JST. That would convert to 4:00 AM PDT/7:00 AM EDT. Since this will be an Aniplex Japan stream, it’s highly unlikely that there will be any subtitles other than Japanese.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a psychological thriller magical girl anime from Shaft and written by Gen Urobuchi, who also worked on Fate/Zero and Song of Saya. The plot follows Madoka Kaname, an ordinary girl, who encounters a bizarre animal named Kyubey while with her best friend Sayaka Miki. Kyubey turns out to be a creature that can form contracts with girls and turn them into magical girls to fight against witches. However, Kyubey’s contract is a lot more sinister than it seems. The show was highly popular for its subversive nature and visuals, and the series is still going on today in the form of movies.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is readily available on streaming services like Crunchyroll, and Aniplex will start streaming it from January 7, 2025.
