  1. 2011 TV series
    Puella Magi Madoka Magica

    which was turned into two compilation movies in 2012 as
    Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part 1: Beginnings / Hajimari no Monogatari
    Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part 2: Eternal / Eien no Monogatari
    (updated animation; re-recorded dialogue; lost the opening dream sequence which I believe most fans thought was a terrible idea; features more original music so it does not repeat like in the TV show although fans lamented some changes as abandoning established themes in favor of new music;)

    which in 2025 were turned back into an episodic TV series as
    Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Hajimari no Monogatari / Eien no Monogatari [TV Edition]
    (restored dream sequence at the beginning and episodic mostly like the original, except the first 2 episodes of the original TV series are now just a single episode1;)

    Frankly I think the 2025 TV edition could be a good way to (re)watch - for the full experience start with the first two episodes of 2011 TV series and then switch to 2025 TV edition episode2 (which was the original's 3rd episode). edit: Actually nevermind, I don't think there's a version of this without dimmed lighting on flashy scenes, unless some fans went in and re-created it on their own from the bluray movies. Just watch the og. XD
  2. 2013 movie
    Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie Part 3: Rebellion / Hangyaku no Monogatari

    whether you want to consider it a sequel to the TV story or just the movies as a separate continuity is up to you;
  3. 2026 movie
    Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie - Walpurgisnacht: Rising / Walpurgis no Kaiten

There's also the 4 minute Concept Movie from 2015 but I don't know how it fits in. ;p

do as you wish. The loss of the dream sequence in the compilation movies is definitely a bummer.

edit:
changed "improved" animation to "updated" animation...

I finally watched Rebellion.

Wow! Really turned everything on its head, didn't she, Homura?

What show or convention was it that had Kalafina perform with all these artists: MaRia, Haruna Luna, ELISA?

And also have Sakarada be on keys (how many artists did he support?), and I believe the late drummer for Sawano Hiroyuki (did he also support multiple artists)?

Haven't found an event that matches the artists yet. Note the late great drummer Mayoshi (2nd from right of Sakurada-san).
Looks like a Sacra music event.
