## Differences from the anime and manga

### Transformations

* No words are spoken out at all in each transformation sequence. The animation for each one was also changed.
	+ When the Guardians' hair changes color and length, it uses a *Heartcatch Pretty Cure*-like perspective of the character going offscreen for a moment and the ends of their hair being seen changing.
	+ Some of the Water Elemental characters, like Sayaka, get a new transformation sequence at one point...that takes place underwater. Sayaka's hair pins are also changed during her transformation, and they're now in the shape of a fortissimo sign.
		- In Italian, fortissimo means very strong, bright, tough/severe. In the music world, fortissimo is signed as *ff* and indicates that the piece should be played very loudly.
	+ The first few sequences of each movie are based on the *Puella Magi Madoka Magica* movies' sequences of four of the five girls (first two PMMM movies)/the six Puella Magis (PMMM's Rebellion movie) and the Nickelodeon *Winx Club* specials.
	+ Victoria's final transformation in the Season 1 recap movie is actually very unique.
* Pokémon don't have (short) transformation sequences when changing forms (such as Mega Evolving) instead instantly transforming. It should be noted, however, that Pokémon's form change sequences don't actually exist in-universe just like the human characters.
* The scene of Necrosis becoming a human has a different song playing over the scene as she says "friend" and smiles, hesitantly extends her limb, starts glowing, and transforms into a human like a Pokémon evolving.

### Other Scenes

* Oktavia's barrier has new runes that read, "Desiderantes Affectibus". Summis desiderantes affectibus (Latin: *"Desiring with supreme ardor"*) was a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent VIII on December 5, 1484. The bull was written in response to the request of Dominican Inquisitor Heinrich Kramer for explicit authority to prosecute witchcraft in Germany, after he was refused assistance by the local ecclesiastical authorities. The bull recognized the existence of witches.
	+ The bull, which synthesized the spiritual and the secular crimes of witchcraft, is often viewed as opening the door for the witchhunts of the early modern period.
* When Kyoko's Harmony Gem explodes, there's a hidden frame of the "*and I'm home*" picture from *Puella Magi Madoka Magica*.
	+ Like the original GoH version of that scene, however, she is revived, though it is not seen on-screen in this case.
* In the 1st season recap movie, the conflicts of Episodes 10 and 11 are combined, so it is no wonder that *Kiara* is unable to fight due to being the one knocked out (as evidenced by the fact there's no lights in her eyes).

### Other Stuff

* Mami's room became more lovely and has a loft.
* The "LOOK AT ME" posters were re-added to the movie version. They were removed from the Blu-ray version of the TV series.
* Some of the characters' (civilian) outfits were changed to look similar to their canon counterparts.
* Madoka's eyes glow gold and her Harmony Mark shines in one scene.
* A lot of the backgrounds are redrawn.
* Sayaka's face is concealed more often.
* Kyoko has more variety of food in each scene she is in. She is seen eating green tea and strawberry pocky in addition to her usual chocolate variety.
	+ The waffle during her binoculars scene has been replaced with a French cream sandwich cookie.
	+ The taiyaki she eats as she's fighting Sayaka in one episode has been replaced with a similar bear-shaped pastry.
	+ The blue popsicle she eats at the end of another episode has been replaced with an orange one.
