Madoka Magica TV from 2011 first, then the Rebellion film from 2013, with the two 2012 recap films optional and Magia Record from 2020 after. The Walpurgisnacht Rising film is announced next with no date, so release order keeps the wish cost reveal intact.

About Madoka Magica

Madoka Magica starts as a 12 episode TV run in 2011 where Madoka Kaname and Sayaka meet Kyubey and learn the cost of wishes. The Beginnings and Eternal films in 2012 retell that TV story as a two part recap. Rebellion in 2013 continues past the TV ending with Homura taking center.

Magia Record from 2020 to 2022 spins to Kamihama with Iroha and new magical girls in the same rules. Walpurgisnacht Rising is announced as the next film continuing Rebellion. Watch TV first, then Rebellion, with recaps optional and Magia Record after.

Good to know

Release order works because Rebellion assumes the TV ending shock. The two recap films add no new plot and can be skipped if you watched the 12 episodes. Magia Record shares the system but follows new leads, so watch it after Rebellion to avoid lore overlap. Walpurgisnacht Rising has no locked date as of this check and sits last with no year.
