    Thanks a lot for uploading this version! I was unfortunately forced to switch to the shitty MahouShoujo+yesy 720p encode for 7-12, the quality difference was apparent. I was amazed by how clean the Coalgirls version looked, it almost felt like watching lossless.

    I will definitely be rewatching this show when you encode the rest, just so I can see just how much I missed!

    Why is the title “Magical Girl Madoka Magica” when it is actually “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”?

    @Tim

    The title is supposed to be Magical Girl Madoka Magica, since the Japanese title is “Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica”. Puella Magi is wrong in English, and is a mistake on the part of the studio.

    @jmaesawn. No the studio is entitled to call the show whatever they want in english and they are calling it Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Saying anything else is as stupid as the whole Holo/Horo debate for Spice and Wolf. The fact that they are using latin is their choice. Get over it.

    Besides, Magical Girl Madoka Magica sounds retarded. It’s better to stick with Puella Magi, though I prefer Mahou Shoujo.

    @scruffy: Since they are using Latin, why do you think this is supposed to be the official English title?

    @lulu … perhaps because their official english website calls it that? (http://madokamagicausa.com/)

    Though there is the fact that it’s actually a mistranslation as puella magi means “sorcerer’s girl”. The correct translation would be puella magica. And even though the site uses the original title they use the word “magical girl” in the introduction, character descriptions and even the quotes. This title confusion is the reason I just call it Madoka Magica.

    Superior release. Quality much better compared to the others (except [Yousei-raws]).
    Will you guys do a 10-bit re-release?

    About the Latin title – it was noted that “Puella Magi” may be translated (if roughly) to a literal “girl of a witch”. Those who have seen the show may take a guess… 😉

    jmaeshawn writes:

    Not like the title really matters that much anyway.

    Personally I’m surprised it didn’t get shortened to “MadoMagi” or something, based on recent trends of shortening titles. (AnoHana, OniKoto, OreImo, etc.)

    I know it’s a long-shot, but does CG have any plans to group the audio commentaries with the BD encodes (like with Bakemonogatari) and include the commentary subs?

    This group is subbing the commentaries:

    @Synonymous, Don’t think coalgirl would switch to hi10 mid-stride. Perhaps for the batch but we’ll have to wait and see.

    I have to say I’m very happy you’re not including only the Chihiro subs, because their editing for episode 10 was hideous.

    Is there any reason for episodes 7 & 8 to weight more that 70% than the previous 1-6 (1080p) ? For example, number 4 is 1.0 GB but #8 is 1.8 GB.

      crf. This encodes all episodes at the same quality. Since episode 8 had more intense action and grain, this required more data, and hence more filesize. episode 4 had comparatively less.

      Note that the most common creators of file size are flashbacks – not intense scenes.

    Uh, I don’t know if I should say this here, but I wouldn’t know where else, so…

    I was just watching episode 3, and at around 13:02, the screen crashes for about one second, the music acts somewhat strange, and it gets kind of desynced afterwards. If I search after 13:02 (after they’ve stepped into the barrier), it’s synced again, but no matter how many times I re-watch from 13:02, it keeps crashing a bit.
    Of course, my opinion doesn’t matter, but I thought that showing us the shine on the bicycles’ front wheels just before switching to the scene inside the witch’s labyrinth was a touch of genius, and having it crash at that point just ruins the whole atmosphere for me.

    Also, a question (not necessarily directed at Coalgirls) : my computer isn’t all that great (though that isn’t what causes the 13:02 problem; it’s just not powerful enough for things like the ED and I think it doesn’t play with 24 fps), so does anyone happen to know a group that uses Yesy’s subs, in their font /and/ including the translations of, for instance, the quotes from Faust in episode 2, but whose video quality is a bit worse – or at the least, bad enough for my laptop to handle it? Yesy’s original releases had kind of bad quality, but at least I could watch the ending with their subs.

    Other than that, you’ve done an absolutely excellent job so far, Coalgirls.
    I’ve heard lots of bad things about you – mainly regarding your filesizes – but this release stays closer to Yesy’s original than any other I’ve found so far.
    And what does filesize matter when you’ve got a 1TB hard drive? ^^

    I’d just like to remember everyone here that it is a VERY RARE occasion, worth a party I’d say, when Japanese take words or expressions in other languages and use them correctly. It’s almost like a cool and trendy thing to just put a lot of words purposedly wrong.

    So there is absolutely no reason to think it’s strange they used “Puella Magi” instead of “Puella Magica”.

    Having shit computer is suffering. I can play most 1080p fine but the 10bit stuff is hitting me hard. I tried your 1080p Bakemonogatari release and my computer feel behind with the buffers…

    Idk, but I do know the ending was only in about 5-6 of the actual episodes. So maybe that’s part of the reason.
