Tired of name pun holidays or are you ready to suffer through one more? Well time for the fifth anniversary of Madoka Magica, which ran in winter 2011, we had a special Sayaka day this year on Tuesday, March 8 (3 - sa, 8 - ya, Tues - kay). Better yet, the ninth was Kyoko day! Animation director/movie character design Junichiro Taniguchi was well on top on this.
