Collecting and Value Appreciation: As you amass a collection of figures, you may find joy in completing character sets, acquiring limited editions, or hunting for rare figures. Over time, figures may appreciate in value, Make collecting more than just a hobby, but also a potential investment. While collaborating on Hidamari Sketch and Bakemonogatari, Akiyuki Shinbo told Aniplex producer Atsuhiro Iwakami he wanted to create a new magical girl series, beginning the development of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. During the early planning stage, Iwakami decided not to adapt an existing work to give Shinbo more freedom in his direction style. [9] Another goal of the project was to develop an anime that would appeal to a wider audience than the usual demographic for media within the magical girl subgenre. Iwakami and Shinbo intended their series to be accessible to "the general anime fan". [10] Shinbo then asked Gen Urobuchi to work on the project as a scriptwriter and Ume Aoki as original character designer. [9] Takahiro Kishida was engaged to adapt Aoki's character designs for the television series. [11]a b Eisenbeis, Richard (October 9, 2012). "Madoka Magica: Beginnings May Be Better Than the Series".
