Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion is Shaft's 2013 movie sequel to Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It follows Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Beginnings and Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Eternal, two compilation films that re-edit the events of the series into feature films. Rebellion tells an original story, directly continuing after the original series.

Fourteen year old Madoka Kaname was an Ordinary High School Student. Now she's a Magical Girl, attending school, hanging out with her other magical girl friends. When the night comes, she and her friends--Homura Akemi, Sayaka Miki, Mami Tomoe, and Kyoko Sakura-- team up to fight Nightmares, creatures born from, well, nightmares. Things are seemingly idyllic in this existence.

Except, wait a minute. Didn't the magical girls fight witches, not nightmares? Even after Madoka Ascended to A Higher Plane of Existence, the magical girls fought wraiths, not nightmares. Didn't half of them die in the original series? Why is Mami back? What is going on?

Well, things are far more than they look on the surface, for Homura quickly discovers she cannot leave the city of Mitakihara, and that it hides a far more sinister secret than it lets on. For you see, there's a lot going on in this "Mitakihara" the girls just don't know about.
