"This Is a Kyubey That Looks Like It Belongs on Sunday Mornings" - Voice Actor's "Madoka Magica" Post-Broadcast Illustration Shows a Massive Gap from the Main Story!

The end card illustration for Episode 7 of the anime "Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Beginnings / Eternal (TV Edition)," broadcast on November 23, was handled by Emiri Kato, the voice actress who plays the in-show character Kyubey. Her drawing ability is becoming a hot topic.

In the "Beginnings / Eternal TV Edition," a single illustration called an "End Card" is shown at the end of each episode's broadcast. Various famous creators handle the illustrations for each episode, making seeing this end card one of the pleasures of watching.

The one who handled this "weekly pleasure" end card for Episode 7 was Emiri Kato, the voice actress for Kyubey. Since Aoi Yuki, the voice actress for Madoka Kaname, handled the illustration for the previous week's Episode 6, it marked two consecutive weeks of contributions by voice actors.

The illustration drawn by Kato features a dressed-up Kyubey and Madoka in her school uniform. The content suggests Madoka dressed Kyubey up, and it is an impressive piece with a pop taste that skillfully uses a simple color palette. Upon releasing the illustration, Kato commented on her own X account, "I wanted to draw a cute Kyubey!"
