Ok so, I didn't get one thing at all:
Nemurim at one point was shows to have a shit ton of Candies. And one of the girls in the group of the douchebaggy one had zero, which ofc lead to concluding that she'd be the one to drop out. OK, so Nemurim was the one with the least amont of candies, but she didn't seem surprised or sad about it AT ALL. Did they somehow steal the candies from her? Did they delete her memory of collecting them? Even in that were the case, she was accepting the fact of leaving the Magical Girl life TOO well.

What are your thoughts on this?

What are your thoughts on this?

if you listen to Fab, you'll learn that candies obtaining by saving world and the like in dreams is only awarding candies in dream world, not in the real world (and that's obvious, it's not like you really saved the real world, saved cities from gigantic monsters and the like, that's why Nemurin has a grand total of 7,000,000,000,000 candies in the dream world but not in real world). What counts for not dropping out is the candies in real world, obviously. And since Nemurin never move away from her move to help peoples, she has 0 (or almost zero, as the consequences in real world of fighting in dream is almost 0, at best that's what, 1 candy per dream maybe? ). Whereas for Tama, she was only at zero for that precise day, not for the whole week. She didn't have a lot, but still more than nemurin.

As for why she was accepting it, well that's because Nemurin was okay with quitting. She was refusing to compete with other, refusing to act in a way that would make anyone else drop instead of her because she acted. So she pretty much finished last voluntarily.

Thanks, that explanation does make sense, but in the way the show presented it. It doesn't make much sense to me that if her power enables her to help others in their dreams, that should totally count. That's the ONLY point that made me reaaaally mad. And yes, the little annoying ying yang ball is evil-ish and stuff and he don't care wtv, it still pissed me off xD

dammit, not sure if i should drop, or not....

Ask yourself, 'what don't I like this show?'
I, for one, have been thinking of dropping this season's Bloodivores. I've already seen humans fighting horrifying mutated monsters that appeared in the second episode (like Blue Gender), and I've seen the kind of sadistic prison game that the protagonist was placed in like in Deadman Wonderland. Mi Liu's role as "The Child of Peace" to unify humans and some new non-human race intrigued me, but we haven't learned much yet. More importantly, none of the characters or the action that happened in the first 2 episodes made me feel like it was worth the time to watch them. The show feels uninspired.

However, while I've seen the plot of this show several times before, I still want to learn more about these characters and the challenges put in their way. That's why I'm much more interested in Raising Project than Bloodivores, even though neither of them have much of anything new to bring to the table.

I'd suggest that you try to figure out why you want to drop this series, whether it's something you don't like about the plot or the genre or whether it's about the show or the characters itself.


good advice, thanks. I'm gonna give it another episode or two to see if I like the development

Not unexpected that we lost one the way we lost one. I just hope this anime won't continue to be too predictable... but chances are, they will start killing each other to survive once they find out what happens.

Been expecting a desu match but got a peaceful death while dreaming. Think she visited the doggy girl's dream who got 0 candy for the day. Rip Nemurin quite a nice personality. End was nicely done & smooth transition to nano's awesome ed.

Witch & Tsun va dialogue sounds quite bland or poorly done. The rest have nice va & personalities, would be fun to learn their two sided life backstories, even if plot gets straightforward. Ruler feels like the evil queen in snow white.

Hmm I was really wondering why this was tagged as Thriller after she just was removed from the chat and that was it. Well. It wasn't over after all. Couldn't they kill someone else off before D: I'm wondering when they start fighting each other. They have to find out the truth at some point. And then shit hits the fan.

-A little good news for those who liked her. She died in the dream world, while she was pretty much a goddess. Due to that, she's actually still alive somehow for a while in the dream world. She lost any link with her dead body and pretty much any memory with it, so she just wanders from dream to dream saving peoples for several months, slowly disappearing."


omg that is even more sad >.>

[GJM] is delayed!
I knew it! DESPAIR is incoming! in ways you won't expect it! without pain or suffering, just sudden DEATH!
Looks like Fav is only telling you basic things and not the truth of what's gonna happen, or not even giving a hint for the ones that would be really out in the Mahou Shoujo system!
Too bad Nemurin is a good likeable character but a NEET in real life in which her death seems to be a small impact to us veiwers.
Keep it up LERCHE!
More DEATHS AND DESPAIR to come!
5/5!

Tyvm for killing the girl who actually helped ppl the most. Till the very end, she was thought of lazy by most ppl. Its sorta her fault, she should have tried to be more "active" but I can understand her. I wish she at least got some recognition before dying, so unsatisfying. And I just hope it doesnt get repetitive tho. I still have my hopes.

Entertaining episode, I really, really like all the character designs and the variety they have in their abilities. Seems broad enough that they could even make a game out of it lol.

Can't wait until the dark eyes loli enters the fray.

Interesting episode! So Nemurin is the first to go :( We get introduced to some more of the girls too, like Calamity Mary (who seems pretty interesting :O) and another group of people. I REALLY like the character designs, everyone seems really unique and has a different personality. So as expected, the Candy count is what causes girls to be eliminated, but I was expecting a little ... more blood? XD Like I thought they'd have to fight it out. If the last person just "dies" in their sleep then I guess it's not that bad ...? Or maybe it has to do with their power, since Nemurin got into dreams and everything. Well either way we know that dying is definitely possible :P Also, was that Ruler in the little girl's dream at the end?! I don't know about you but it certainly seemed like an execution march to me ... well, maybe I'm reading it wrong ... we'll see XD

Nemu was the best girl... that was sad.

It's been a while since I've seen a survival game. I thought it was just going to be a straight up death battle but it's a bit subtle. I like it, it's interesting.

anyway, gonna continue this and lets see how it continues
might be pretty shitty but interesting enough to watch iguess


This show is not trying to be suspenseful like others. Does not surprise me. I hope we get to see some fights although.

Nice...I try not to read the full descriptions of a new show before I watch them and this time it paid off big time. I figured this would be a violent show (based on the opening scene of ep 1) but I didn't know we were gonna have a death game! Awesome! Can't wait to see how the story unfolds.

Mahou shojo+death maybe it's okay, then you add Kyubey type character. definitely gonna remind us about madoka...

.

FA-B isn't a kyuubey type. I'll also point out that most magical girl have mascot character, so the moment you list magical girl as a resemblance, listing mascot as well is redundant.
It's like listing for two military anime "they're both at war, they're both featuring guns, and they both have soldier shooting peoples". If they're at war in the story, chance are high the next two common points will come as well. If you list magical girl as a common point, then cute outfits, mascots, magic, and so on will come along.

Calamity Mary seems to be a pain in the ass and more like magical ugly hag than magical girl.

And Ruler's bunch gave the impression of a group of thugs, hanging out in a decrepit building.

Also, to be honest, I don't like Nemurin. Apparently, your unique ability is the embodiment of your desire. Like in Snow White's case being able to help people. So her desire was to pry into and enter other's dreams. Quite messed up.

Monokuma-lite turning people into magical girls then killing them off because it 'miscalculated'.

Nice! I guess I won't be surprised when the other girls find out and start killing each other to maintain their place.

I liked Nemu... she had an interesting design and gathered the most points out of all the girls... if there was a way to convert those 'dream points' into 'real life points'

I hope this is the last time I hear 'Tch' once every 10 mins is fine but more than that in a short time span gets annoying.

I read the book before watching this, so I was actually pretty surprised with how much they fleshed out Nemurin, all things considered. When she died in the book, I had to look at the illustration in the front like... Who? And then when I saw who she was I still was confused. She had, like, no page time at all. But here... God, her death hurt.

(As of writing this, I've only read the first book, so I can't speak of any development she might get in later books.)

You're right. This anime not only adapts the first volume (Unmarked) but also some parts of a later one (Episodes) which has a bunch of short stories about the characters, like this one with Nemurin seeing Ruler in a dream.
