Despite all the bonus material that has come along with the movies, Madoka Magica's titular heroine is still the only of the series magical girls' to have an official birth date. She only has one because, as witer Gen Urobuchi tweeted, he chose October 3 to correspond with the the day that the ‘Mahou Shoujo Apocalypse Madoka☆Magica Project’ document was created.

 

Still, it's a good excuse to celebrate anime's favorite divinity.
