Hopefully this will turn out like Nanoha except without the gratuitious yuri tones.
...Oh who am I kidding, this WILL have gratuitious yuri overtones. |

Its really hard to make a Magical Girl show that isn't completely lesbian.

Anime studios don't matter to me that much. it's all about the writer and art designer. this one looks nothing like Madoka. I don't know why people think this anime looks like madoka. Character design is totally different too. And we don't even know the story. |

It really depends on the studio, with SHAFT its almost always important. Same with KyoAni. I'd put the director as the most important position in terms of sussing out what a show will likely be like. |

You can sorta see the C82 trailer in this livestream video: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/comic-market-82-no-642
No idea how long that will be up, or when we'll get a proper upload. |

Wow, it looks amazing. I already had claimed that the Blue Haired Girl would be the girl I'd like best, but they just had to go give her Rie Kugimiyas as a seiyuu too. I sure know how to pick them! |

Did you miss all the promo art for Madoka or something? It was entirely innocuous. Besides different character designs, at this stage of its game, Madoka looked just like Prism Nana. That was the point. I'm with Ryan on this one; my money is on something closer to Nanoha or Mai Hime, not anything like Madoka beyond a few shared elements like teen magical girl squad. Not this soon. Not from the same studio. People will expect it and then it wouldn't have any impact or be special.

Some of the comments in this thread has me believing some of you are new to entertainment.
Whether or not this series is similar to PMMM is irrelevant because of course they're going to try and make new stuff seem similar. Riding coattails of a success is nothing new. I am always appreciative of new magical girl stuff. Bring me more! By the way: Nanoha is the best of them all. Stop denying it.

So is Gen Urobuchi involved in this? I like the animation, but it seems like a bunch of moe pandering.

Doubt it, they would have said so if he was to hype it up. |

Yes it did. Let's have a look at the definition of "Mahou Shoujo"... "A type of genre in manga or anime that is targeted toward girls preteen and below. It features an ordinary girl (The heroine) who one day receive magical power and transform into her alter-ego magical superpower to battle evil". Madoka, however, broke all the rules of the genre. |

So it's actually Denpa Onna to Nymphogear! |

Well, Mahou Shoujo = magical girl. That's it really. Madoka just messed with people's expectations. For example, a little known show, Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo, does not fit your definition, while it is very clearly Mahou Shoujo. But it's not anything like PMMM either. Rather it's a Seinen romcom soap opera As such, I'm not going to make any assumptions about Prism Nana. If it's targeting the otaku crowd, it will probably stray from the definition of appealing to preteen girls and any simple good heroine vs evil story. It may not even deal with that at all |

Err...no, it didn't. It broke a few, but played a bunch mostly straight, just with a twist. (here's a tip: You can still like Madoka, and it can still be an amazing show, even if its not actually a deconstruction) |
