Depending on where you are in the world, *Magia Record*’s streaming availability tends to be pretty good. You can watch it on [Crunchyroll](https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/G6QWDD096/magia-record-puella-magi-madoka-magica-side-story), HiDive ([S1](https://www.hidive.com/tv/magia-record-puella-magi-madoka-magica-side-story), [S2](https://www.hidive.com/tv/magia-record-puella-magi-madoka-magica-side-story-season-2-the-eve-of-awakening-), [S3](https://www.hidive.com/tv/magia-record-puella-magi-madoka-magica-side-story-final-season-dawn-of-a-shallow-dream-)), Wakanim ([DE](https://www.wakanim.tv/de/v2/catalogue/show/599/magia-record-puella-magi-madoka-magica-side-story-omu/season/1081/staffel-1), [FR](https://www.wakanim.tv/fr/v2/catalogue/show/592/magia-record-puella-magi-madoka-magica-side-story/season/1073/saison-1)) or [Amazon Prime Video](https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B09PYSGLTP/) (Amazon US seems to be missing the last 5 episodes from what I can see, Amazon DE has all of [S1](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0B8JDBJTD/), [S2](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0B8MTR7JS/) and [S3](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0B79Z4L4D/)). The show is also listed on [Funimation](https://www.funimation.com/shows/magia-record-puella-magi-madoka-magica-side-story/) and [VRV](https://vrv.co/watch/G60XP192R/Magia-Record-Puella-Magi-Madoka-Magica-Side-Story:I-Want-to-Go-Home-with-You) if you still have an account for one of those. See [LiveChart.me](https://www.livechart.me/anime/3495/streams) for their list of streaming options. Lastly, there have been Blu-ray and DVD releases in Japan, North America, Germany, Australia, and probably other places.
### Questions of the day
1. Familiar worldbuilding, new people! How do you like Iroha and Kuroe so far?
2. Speculation time: What might be behind the rumor of “saving” magical girls? Do you think it’s possible?
Please note: As with almost everything else in a rewatch (except the spoiler policy), these questions are an entirely optional thing and you are encouraged to comment whether or not you feel like answering them. Their main purpose is to act as a discussion prompt and a starting point for people who are unsure what to say about the episode.

### Visuals of the day
In future threads, this section will contain a link to an album featuring all of your visual of the day choices. To participate, take a screenshot of a moment from the episode (could be one you enjoyed, could be one you found the most interesting, or just something that looked cool), upload it somehwere, and put a link to it in your comment!
### Spoiler policy
As usual, any spoilers for future episodes must be tagged in accordance with [the subreddit rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/rules). For the spoiler prefix tag, I recommend using the full `[Magia Record]` or a shorthand like `[MR]`. You can include specific episode numbers if you think it’s helpful.
Like the show itself, the spoiler policy will assume that you’re familiar with the *Madoka Magica* main series, which means that comparisons with themes and plot points from over there as well as speculation based on knowledge from PMMM are fair game and do not need separate spoiler tags. **If you have not seen *Madoka Magica*, please be aware that the *Magia Record* rewatch threads will contain untagged PMMM spoilers.**
When you’re tagging a spoiler, please think about whether its presence is too strong of a hint for first time watchers and consider moving it to the end of your comment or skipping it entirely. Seeing something like “Aw, they’re getting along so well! [MR season 2 episode 8] >!I hope you didn’t expect an actual spoiler behind this.!<” is no fun.
If you’re posting spoilers for the game or other media (e.g. the manga), make sure your tag makes it obvious.
I intend to report any untagged or wrongly tagged spoilers I see.
### Tomorrow’s questions of the day
For those who want to prepare their comment in advance:
1. [MR] >!What did you think of the fight at the fast food place? Was anyone in the wrong?!<
2. [MR] >!Does/did your school have these kinds of weird rumors or urban legends?!<
3. [MR] >!Speculation time: Between the mini Kyubey’s song and the staircase, rumors seem to be an important reoccurring theme. What do you think is their relevance to the world of magical girls and witches?!<
