October billing cycle paused

Hey, everyone!! Letting you know that I meant to paused the September billing cycle but forgot to do it before today. T_T;;; so, I put in a pause for the October billing cycle instead. Sorry if you already got charged, and if you haven't already and want to cancel your pledge to prevent it, I encourage you to do so. As always thanks for your support!! We're hoping to bring you podcast episodes on the ending of Different Story and/or the Magia Record anime in September, so I hope you look forw...

Special Episode! - Wonder Egg Priority Post-Mortem, Part 2 (Feat. Alice and Kai)

Here is part 2 of our deep dive into this year's popular yet controversial magical girl sleeper hit, Wonder Egg Priority!

Unlike the last part, you can't listen to much of this episode without being exposed to heavy spoilers for the show. If you have any interest in watching WEP for yourself without any spoilers, you might want to wait to listen to this one. And like the first part, this episode comes with content warnings that match the WEP anime itself, so please exercise discretion w...

Special Episode! - Wonder Egg Priority Post-Mortem, Part 1 (Feat. Alice and Kai)

Hi there Patrons! Or at least, those of you who haven't melted in the sweltering heat yet!! We've got a treat for you to enjoy today in early access: part one of the show's discussion of Wonder Egg Priority, a winter 2021 anime that recently got a final "special episode" in a special broadcast at the end of June. Amanda and Panda are here to discuss it with former guests of the show, Kai and Alice. Our talk went on for so long that we had to split it up into two parts!

If you haven't wa...

Special Episode! - Lil Homura X (The Queerness of Madoka Magica)

Hello, lovely Patrons! We're back after a long period of inactivity - sorry about that! - with a new special episode that I think you'll be very interested in. Our new video editing helper Jo joins us with her friend Steve to help us bring you an episode dedicated to the romantic relationship between Homura and Madoka, which was first promised way back in the first or second episode of the show. Because you know what we definitely don't talk enough about on the show? Lesbians, and ho...

Thank you as always for your support!! You literally help make the podcast possible by mitigating the costs of hosting and audio/video ...

No charge on February 1st!

Hey everyone! Amanda here with an update on the podcast as we get close to the end of January! (can you believe we're already a month into 2021, I sure can't.)

Recording has come to a standstill, as Yasha and Vanna are still on leave. Because there have released so few episodes this winter so far, I've paused billing so nobody will be charged their pledges on February 1st. (New pledges are still welcome, however, and can still receive bonuses like the Madoka and Homura buttons!)

The MagiReco Gacha Post-Mortem (Feat. Eryn Cerise)

RIP to the MagiReco EN server... it came, it took our money, and then it vanished into the ether, taking our PNG waifus with it. Join Amanda and Eryn as they take a belated look at the gacha and whether it really scammed us all!

Holiday BONUS Episode! Watching the Concept Trailer Five Years Later is Suffering

Hello lovely listeners! We hope you're having a wonderful December so far, and perhaps Madoka Magicast's very special HOLIDAY BONUS EPISODE will make it even more wonderful!!!!

After many many many requests from listeners, we've FINALLY sat down to talk about the infamous "Concept Trailer" that premiered at some kinda Shaft museum party thing waaaay back in 2015. And despite being just over 3 minutes long, we managed to talk about the damn thing for over THREE HOURS. Poor Panda had to s...

As always, thanks for your support!! <3

Poll: Should video episodes be Patreon-only?

Hello, Patrons! Amanda here. Have you had a chance to listen to episode 27 yet? It went up yesterday for you guys to listen to early, so don't forget to check it out :D

Anyway, I have an important question for you guys, and it has to do with the Youtube video versions of the podcast episodes.

When the podcast was first started, it was planned on being uploaded to Soundcloud like the other podcasts produced by Panda. It would then be uploaded to other podcast services like iTunes a...

Ep. 27 - The different story, Part 4 - We Should Start Seeing Other Magical Girls

We're back, uh, again!!! But yeah, Yasha and Vanna's internet is working, at least for now, so we're taking advantage of it while we can to drop a few episodes and hope for the best! Let's continue on with the first Madoka Magica spin-off manga, "The Different Story," where some things start to inevitably go real bad for our girls who must always have bad things happen to them.

Thank you so muc...

Important Announcement - Recording Problems AKA Thanks 2020 We Hate It

Hello, all. I've got a bummer announcement to make about the immediate future of the podcast, so please read this, especially if you're a Patron!

In the past couple weeks, Yasha and Vanna's internet has had, uh, major problems. Basically, it's become extremely unreliable and they are unable to do most things requiring internet connection until it's fixed, which includes recording podcasts. We tried waiting it out in hopes it'd get fixed and we could throw a new episode together in time ...

Episode 26 - The different story, Part 3 - If Your Wish is Lame, I'll Kick Your Ass

Happy Thursday, Patrons! Here's episode 26 for you, fresh and early!

This was supposed to be up early for you last week, and on Youtube for everyone else today, but unfortunately Yasha & Vanna have been having catastrophic internet trouble recently. Yeah... right after we came off hiatus. That's messed up our recording schedule, so we're trying to work with what we've got. Hopefully it won'...

Patrons Only - Art WIP from Amanda

Hi Patrons! ^_^ Our first episode off hiatus will be going up on the Youtube & Soundcloud accounts tomorrow, but it's been available to you guys for more than a week, so you probably already listened to it. If you haven't, go check it out. The next new episode will also be available to you early, as soon as Panda is done editing it!

In the meantime, I thought I'd share with you this work-in-progress piece of artwork I've been working on for the past several weeks. Digital painting i...

The different story, Part 2 - All My Homies Hate Kyoko's Dad

In our second episode covering the Kyoko and Mami-focused side manga, "The different story," we get to see what happens after that awful awful cliffhanger from the end of chapter 2. Spoilers: things continue to be real sad. But considering the franchise, is that really spoilers?

Thank you Patrons for making this possible!!

The different story, Ep. 1 - Friendship Ended with KyoSaya, KyoMami is my OTP Now

Thanks to you, our lovely Patrons, we're proud to present our first episode on the spin-off manga about Kyoko and Mami, "The different story"! This manga is based on one of the drama CDs and takes a look at Kyoko and Mami's relationship prior to the events of the original anime. It then branches off into an AU story of its own in the second and third volumes. In this episode, we cover the first two chapters of volume one, which are VERY... shall we say... filled with wholesome gal pal moments...

Episode 22 - The Rebellion Movie is Awesome, and Here's Why!

Rebellion Defense Squad, ASSEMBLE!! Guest Lily, owner of the madokamagicasecrets blog on Tumblr, joins the hosts for an episode 100% devoted to why people LOVE the Rebellion Movie!

Most importantly, in a future episode, we'll be talking about all the GREAT things about the Rebellion Movie, and we need your help to include it all! We...

MagiReco Anime Ep. 3 - Remove a Cup of Lace

In this episode, we watch the third episode of the Magia Record anime, where we get to know some characters we only got brief glances of in prior episodes. Plus, we're starting to see how this show stacks up to the story in the gacha game, and... well, it looks pretty? WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU, MAGIRECO ANIME.

Why do YOU love Rebellion? We want to know!

Hello, lovely Patrons!  ❤️   In an upcoming episode, we'll be having a guest on the show to talk about why people love the Rebellion Story movie!  That means we want to hear YOUR opinions.

Episode 20 - Mod's Asleep, Post Cursed Merch

Yasha and Vanna are visited in-person by both Panda and Eryn, and at the request of Amanda, record something for the podcast. What results is 1+ hour of them browsing Madoka Magica merchandise on Mandarake. What could go wrong???

This episode includes a recording of the hosts' screen while they browse the site, so we don't recommend listening to the audio only!

This episode was first posted on March 10, 2020

MagiReco Anime Ep. 1 - Finding McGuffin-chan

We're finally back! Today, in this episode being released early for our ~lovely Patrons~, we're taking a look at the second episode of the Magia Record anime!
