One day had passed in Kamiyā Yuu's world. While sleeping, he once again used his consciousness space to connect to the network of his previous world. By this time, around ten days had already passed since Kamiyā Yuu uploaded the VR remastered version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica.'
As expected, on the very first day, the VR version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' was pushed by BILIBILI users to the top of the original animation popularity rankings. Anime fans who knew the former glory of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' were amazed by the visuals and polish of the remastered version. This kind of VR anime could not have been made by an amateur or an individual. It definitely required the support of an entire animation production team.
The new uploader named "Blank" had submitted an astonishing personal remastered animation on the very first day, while also stating that it was not allowed to be used for commercial purposes. This sparked much speculation among users about just how astonishingly obsessed with 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' this animation production team must have been.
Kamiyā Yuu's account on this bullet-comment video website exploded from zero to over a hundred thousand followers within ten days.
As for viewers who had not previously known about 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica,' after finishing it, they were shocked by how much care had been put into the production. The visual presentation alone surpassed today's top 2D VR animation companies. The story also had a significant impact on them, no small impact. Compared with the original, it possessed stronger reversals, drama, and breakthroughs, and even in this era of highly developed entertainment and film industries, it did not feel clichéd.

VR remastered version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica': 1.722 million comments.
[Sealing Demon Man:
At first, I thought this was part of the "tears of the times" series, but then I realized something was wrong. Why would 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' appear in the VR animation section? Isn't this a work from more than forty years ago? I also hadn't heard of any animation company taking it over and remastering a VR version. I came in with the mindset of reminiscing about a classic, and then...
How should I describe my feelings now? It's like buying a lottery ticket for a few yuan, thinking maybe I might win, only to actually win a ten-million-yuan jackpot! 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' is without a doubt one of the classics in animation history. Compared with the classic, this personal VR remastered version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' absorbed the essence and discarded the flaws, creating plot developments that are both unexpected and reasonable. Add in VR visuals, music, and more that are not inferior to those produced by first-rate animation companies—why did a work like this appear out of nowhere! Is this some joke by a major animation company!? Ah~ A thousand words can be summed up in one sentence: thank you to the animation production team behind this remastered anime for letting me revisit those beautiful memories once again.]

[Would You Like Some Panda Today:
A treasure of the site! A true treasure of the site! By the way, could this count as infringement? Although the original animation production company has already gone bankrupt. Ordinary fan works are tacitly accepted by the industry, and since a large-scale production like this isn't being used commercially, it probably doesn't count, right?
Before this, I had only heard the name 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica.' Since I felt the magical girl genre had already been eliminated by that time, and old relics weren't worth revisiting, I only clicked in after seeing this remastered version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' had such high popularity. Music, visuals, story—I give them all ten points! It really is an amazing work. Especially the second reversal ending at the end. It was truly fantastic. Only after reading some explanations in the comment section did I go back to the beginning and find so many details, setups, and Easter eggs left by the creators.
PS: I will not go watch the original version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica.'

[Blazing Light Type Ninety-Nine:
The plot combines the original 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' and the movie 'Rebellion.' Originally, I thought 'Rebellion' was already the endpoint of the 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' series, and making another sequel would probably ruin the work's reputation. But this remastered version, which combines the plots of both while adding something completely different, is really, really good. It's hard to imagine that I still had the energy to watch an entire anime twice in one week. The more details I noticed, the more I could feel the creators' sincerity.

[This Is Not a Nickname:
My first reaction was: what the hell is this!? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ There are still people who know 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' these days?
Then I quietly added my great-great-great-grandpa's QQ and sent him screenshots of the anime. I didn't expect him to actually accept the friend request. Anyone who wants my great-great-great-grandpa's QQ, please like this comment.

[Blazing Light Type Ninety-Nine: Let's all talk about our ages. I'm already in my forties and have a daughter in high school. For more than ten days now, every time I come home, I sit in front of the computer, and she keeps saying I'm childish for still liking anime at my age.]
[X-Jerking Youth King: Holy crap, a winner in life! I want a daughter too, but I ended up having a son!]
[World-Ending Moon: Raise the gasoline and torches in your hands!]
[Explosion-Proof Fluorescent Yellow: Long live the FFF Inquisition! Hehe, I didn't think anyone still remembered FFF! This comment section really is a headquarters for nostalgia!]
[And Then Nothing Happened: I'm already in my forties, yet my girlfriend is still Right Hand.]
[Cold Pine Proud Bamboo: Simply terrifying. A Grand Magus!]
[Blazing Light Type Ninety-Nine: No! At this point, he's already a God of Magic!]
"Blazing Light Type Ninety-Nine" was the user account Luo Ning had created on this website decades ago. He had not expected his enthusiasm for discussing a work to remain undiminished for more than ten days. Every time he came home from work, he would instinctively log in to the website to look at other users' comments, as well as which attentive user had discovered new foreshadowing. In this comment section, he also found many users like himself who carried a sentimental attachment.
Some fans who liked 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' had long since stopped paying attention to ACG-related information. Only after being notified by friends did they learn that such a VR remastered version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' had appeared online, so they came to revisit this classic work from their memories.
In particular, some users posted related information onto Weibo, the major online communication platform, attracting even more sentiment-driven fans to come and support it. Back then, even trash games like 'Chinese Paladin 6,' the kind that could make "Titans fall," had sold well through nostalgia, and the nostalgia-based promotion of 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back' had succeeded in one move.
Now, China's ACG circle was already very mature, and its related industry chain was no less impressive than those surrounding movie stars. When certain ACG-related websites reported on this remastered version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica,' one could imagine the shock it caused throughout the circle.
Although the VR version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' differed greatly from the ordinary remastered version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica,' receiving such a high approval rating in this world where the animation industry had long since matured was enough to prove the quality of the work itself, even setting aside nostalgia.
Kamiyā Yuu was extremely satisfied with the audience reception of the VR version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica.' As expected, the ordinary remastered version of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' would also stir up a great storm in the animation industry of his own world!
At this point, Kamiyā Yuu's storyboard concepts for 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' were completely perfected.
After returning to his original world, Kamiyā Yuu continued making large-scale revisions and edits to the later storyboard drafts of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica.' Even the already completed but unaired episodes had certain visuals reset and improved. The parts he modified were details that some viewers might not even glance at, yet it was precisely the accumulation of such details that made the quality of a work appear so outstanding.
Kamiyā Yuu's changes to the storyboard drafts of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' instantly tightened what had originally been a comfortable production schedule. The staff members of 'Yosuganosora' Animation Studio, already used to this side of Kamiyā Yuu, exchanged knowing smiles and silently joined the ranks of those working overtime to meet the deadline.
