did they just... seriously resolve homura's yuyu's tragic backstory in 10 minutes? we don't even know anything about her, so it loses its impact, i guess. i'm hoping they are gonna throw a curveball at us and things are gonna be more complicated than they seem right now.
chemistry between the riri and yuyu is nice (their names even spell YuRi, c'mon), so im gonna continue watching it for that, if nothing else.

This episode gave in lots of new information that was definitely necessary for us to understand Yuyu better.
It's nice to see that the Lillies are becoming better at fighting the Huge.
Yuyu's past is tragic considering she has a rare skill that almost can kill her ally.
Good episode so far and yes it is worth watching definitely.

I think I’m going to drop this anime. I can appreciate that it is trying to create a somewhat different magic weapon system and to develop its characters. But, the yuri fanservice is just too over-the-top and distracting, plus I don’t think it offers much else worth me sticking through that. I will keep monitoring it just in case it gets better and is worth me revisiting it.

The power of the love from Lili, finally openned up Yuyu's cold hearted after such a huge tragedy on the past. Thats being said, its about time they revealed Yuyu's backstory. Peoples might already knew about it from a certain scene before. But, honestly, i am so surprised, if the outcome of it, being too dark like that. Well, shit might be happened too fast, especially in the war state like that. So, yeah, the situations really understandable. Such a shame that the whole Magie sphere explanations that became their ultimate attack was not so great to touched my satisfaction. Its vanished so fast like, who care shit while i got to see their nice interaction? Well, at least, their sweet interaction really good enough to close these episode without much complain. Its really really understandable with its concept, at least, in a fine level. Well, as their name, Yurigaoka girl school. The school that grew up a nice relations between the girls. Full of Yuri vibes, no wonder xD. So, yeah, thats it, the power of Lili already much being revealed, together with how strong those Yuyu was. The power of love, and yeah, the deal of Huge. They were nothing against their combination! Err, was that right? Or they might pull out the dark end? Idk shit xD.

YuRi is sailing bois. That was a decent episode, I agree that things are kinda going pretty fast but I am still really enjoying the show.

I'm guessing those that were part of the fight this episode is going to be apart of Riri's legion. Overall good episode, I'm sure they'll focus on developing Yuyu and Riri's relationship now that Yuyu has more or less is starting to get over her trauma.

The resolve of Yuyu's backstory was way too fast and the after memory with Yuyu killing her "Schutzengel" was also placed in a interesting way.

This can also mean a death flag/close to death flag from Riri. Yuyu will loose her control about herself again, which might lead to a situation, where Riri cannot bring her to senses.

Even the resonance of their weapons might be incomplete - we will see about this

Anime!! You are a fucking disappointment this week


Here I was expected a huge wedding ceremony. I wanted a army of lily bridesmaids escorting Riri to the alter. She and Yuyu was suppose to be wed become her schutzengel then kiss! A thousand white doves released flying off into a glistering clear blue sky and church bells going of in the distance . And what did I fucking get..... They sign a contract......So boring. I was expected more from you!


But the rest was fine and cute I guess.Really liked when my lesbians was hugging it out on the battlefield

I liked this episode not only because it advanced Riri and Yuyu's relationship and because it gave Yuyu so much pathos. We learn why Yuyu tries to avoid getting closer to people, which of course, makes Riri all the more determined to strengthen their relationship. Also, I'm enjoying the fight scenes in this show. They feature a good combination of hand-drawn animation and CGI. All in all, this was a good episode and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Wow didn't expect they reveal Yuyu's final trump card and backstory this early. Shaft probably aware about 3 eps rule so they pull this PMMM-like twist.

I feel like they made Yuyu a little too edgy during the first 2 episodes, but it was nice to see more of her background and why she came to be that way. I thought she was going to make our pure Riri suffer for like the whole series, seeing what she said in the previous episode. It was also nice to see her open up a little bit more with Riri and the other's as well.

But man we were blessed with some nice thighs this week ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Riri got her wish to be Yuyu's Schutzengel partner, but this draws more attention in the usual sense of Yuri overflowing. Plus, the THICC THIGH shots never end.

More action, but in the training sense for Riri, because being a partner of the most ludicrous and rumoured Lily has more responsibility to uphold to tackle the confrontation of her past self.

Part of a Lily's CHARM is their own body, and that is Yuyu's reasoning of loss and the eventual lonewolf status. Despite that, the "connection" of Riri and Yuyu is akin to Granbelm (amongst the main leads in the "same same but different" way), which I guess gives this show another appeal? Having such a wonky direction is bad enough, and this to me, isn't gonna reflect the same way as Granbelm does, and it's fine for carving its own narrative.

Still fine...nothing decently impressive yet.

the flashback is good, other are shit... yuyy flashback is toptier... her culturstelsel(i dont know how to write that) hallucination is good... but the fight the double figg ia shit... that's not how teamwork should be... the other couple is better because they have unique way to cooperate... not just attacking together...



I Hope that next eps will dig more about special abilities

The climax battle wasn't directed well, it had very little character buildup beforehand and visually every shot was so uninteresting despite the prettiness and the action. This is strange because 1) this is still Shaft and 2) the flashback was fine, it was actually really nice.

+ also Pikachan and Natsuyoshi aren't strong enough VAs to carry intense scenes it seems, Mocho and Tenchan in MagiReco weren't spectacular but still felt much better than this.

According to Fumi, Yamada Uta, one of the names on the gravestones, is supposed to be Matsuri (Yuyu's roommate) partner, although she died before entering Yurigaoka after helping evacuation. She doesn't have a Charm with her at the time so she can't join the fight.

So, both Yuyu and Matsuri got that similarity of losing someone close to them.

So the white haired girl we saw in Yuyu's room was her deceased partner eh. Episode shows it has some dark sides and reminds us that these girls really do risked their lives. And the monster they fight with charms of fallen lilies is a horrifying example. I wonder if it'll go darker and see tragedy in future episodes.

Anyway, I'm fine with her drama pretty much done this episode so others wouldn't complain that its dragging in the series. I feel there'll more things to come. The power of 'yuri' comes of a bit corny for me thou. Oh well at least we know what to expect in this series based on the first three episodes aside from those fine tights.

Still gonna continue watching this because of these cute lasses and their fine tights. Let's see how this goes.

Okay, with that lily going berserk it cemented my opinion that the show has a similar vibe to Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii Desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii Desu ka?. Now I'm not suggesting it will be as awesome. I get teary still thinking about the last episode when Scarbough Fair starts playing. One of the best sequences ever committed to film. Emotional does not even come close to describing it.


I'm digressing too, but this caught my attention. I actually started a re-watch of What are you doing at the end of the world, are you busy, or do you have the time to read this extremely long anime title? (because that's totally what it's called) and I made it to episode 3 before chickening out of getting any closer to that finale. Just hearing Scarborough Fair in the first episode during their initial meeting was enough to make me question my desire to experience it all again. So yeah it certainly was one of the most effective sequences I can remember.

As for this series, even though I had assumed the other girl Yuyu had been talking to in her room was already dead, the scenes we got in the second half of this episode were a little darker than I was anticipating, but at this level it's still fine for easy viewing, and I don't see it being a show with the gravitas to pull off anything too impactful so I'm assuming this is about as far as it's goes.

Not suprising to find out Misuzu was already dead but it's pretty tragic for Yuyu to find out her going berserk contributed to that. Riri has quite the huge amount of luck as her reckless action to jump into the battle with a berserk Yuyu and an experienced killer Huge succeeded.

Yuyu's backstory was revealed which was very tragic.

Those training scenes were awesome.

Nice bath scenes. Kaede has a perfect body.

Poor Yuyu lost her Schutzengel when she was in junior high. Those flashback with her and Misuzu were so tragic.

Fortunately, she has Riri now. <3

Such a sad scene.

Some nice screenshots.

I don`t think her trauma will be healed so fast. Also Yuyu`s big sister said that that is their destiny I will not be surprised if she end up dying for Riri.
