# Welcome to the *Magia Record* rewatch, season 3 episode 4!

### Relevant links

Season 3 did not have any TV end cards, so for a bit of levity here’s [a featured page from *Magia Report*](https://magireco.fosterforest.eu/magirepo/s2e68.png) instead! This is chapter 68 of season 2. *Magia Report* is a comedy manga by PAPA that started out as a sort of manual/advertisement for the *Magia Record* game, but then just kept going with jokes. I guess there are no more anime spoilers as of today, so if you don’t mind spoilers for the game, feel free to go and read *Magia Report*!

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/) if you still have an account there. 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.

**Added note:** People have pointed out to me that from around the middle of season 1 onwards, you are going to see increasing quality differences between the TV broadcast version and the Blu-Ray version of the show. These differences will increase in number and severity through later seasons, sometimes with entire shots missing. Many streaming sources, notably Crunchyroll, only offer the TV version. If you’ve enjoyed the show so far and you would like to experience the rest in the most complete version available, it may be worth double-checking if you can get your hands on the Blu-Rays.

### Questions of the day

1. While the Magius plan had a self-serving pragmatic goal, Alina Gray’s plan was more driven by emotions. What did you think about it?
2. When was the last time you felt like one chapter of your life was ending and a new one was starting?
3. Fanfic/headcanon time: We see the world go on after Homura vanishes into her time warp. What does that mean for the PMMM multiverse?

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.
