Set to begin airing almost eight-years after the anime series originally premiered, Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record follows the story of protagonist Iroha Tamaki as she searches throughout Kamihama City to try and find her missing sister. Following an encounter with Madoka Kaname during her search, Iroha finds herself getting caught up in the world of magical girls through her wish to help her sister fight through a mysterious illness.

Though it still remains to be seen as to when Magia Record’s anime adaptation will actually air in Japan, it’s exciting to see that global fans of the Madoka Magica series will be able to delve into the mobile game’s story even if that title is never localized. Set to premiere in 2019, further information on the upcoming Magia Record anime series can be found via its official website.
