The greatest anime of the 2010s, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, finally returns this summer, and it’s already stunning in a major trailer. After a phenomenal breakout season of television in 2011 and an amazing theatrical sequel in 2013, Madoka Magica has been developing a new film, Walpurgisnacht Rising, to finish the original story, and after numerous delays over the years, the film will finally premiere on August 28 in Japan, with international releases likely later in the year.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht Rising has been a long time coming, and there’s even more reason to be excited about it. A new trailer for Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht Rising has just been released, and not only does it confirm that the film is sticking with its summer release date, but it also gives the best look at the film’s action and story to date.

Sure enough, the new Puella Magi Madoka Magica movie looks to be nothing short of amazing, and its summer release cannot come soon enough.
