Trying to save a friend isn't easy and with that rift opened, it seems like there's this void of hopelessness.

Situation looks dire and might be getting worse. They need to believe in themselves and Shino is one of the problems present in thsi arc.

Hiori's Key to opening the doors of the Common is in effect, and the Reflectors aren't really prepared for what comes next. To protect an innocent bystander, and a close sibling at that, all that to sacrifice for her happiness of the past.

There's no turning back anymore, face it together with their feelings. To save that which is lost, the seeds have been sown, and Shino's rationale to fix the conflicting feelingso of humans is justified from that approach.

But to truly save their innocent hearts, it would take more than willingness to face Shino, the final boss, for both sisters.

Decent episode. Strange that Yuri wasn't afraid or concern about Common opened and Shino getting new powers, and she gives the second ring to Mio which is now Hiori power. I don't understand Yuri or AASA anymore, what are they planning since even this situation is not bothered them.
Mio is confirmed as new character for second game so her death flag is aborted, although she shown in her human form not reflector,so Ruka death flag is really high cause Hiori need a second blue sword to defeat Shino.
Shino's plan, i don't get at all, ok she get some power up from common and can in theory control feelings of others,but what about sephiras and normal monsters from common?
Well it's 5 episodes left, i don't think the battle with Shino took more than 2 episodes,so maybe we get some true final boss after her death?

Yuri mentioned that world was destroyed once, how did she knows it? The only ones who knows is Mio,Shino. It will be funny if the final boss of entire anime is Yuri and she used both light and dark reflectors for some unknown goal.

What if Shino is that thing they fought at the start which destroyed the world once already to begin with, like overtaking her body? Because we can see in the flashback the "original" Shino didn't want to do anything with reflectors when she refused Mio.

I thought it would be a good opportunity to finally release Mio from Shino's brainwashing but seems like she's back to waste everything (and same for Ryoka :/)

Now, there are still a lot of mysteries that need to be resolved in Ray so my word is absolutely not factual, but I really doubt that Shino is being possessed and manipulated by a sephira.

Decent episode nice to see things from Mio perspective but doesn't look too good since she's not yet completely saved from Shino.

Blue Reflection Ray review. A fascinating show. The surface story is a well designed and plotted magical girl show where the protagonists try to protect other girls' negative feelings from being "consumed" by the antagonists for their own use.

But the show subverts anime tropes to create a sense of foreboding, and way the show plays with the characters' perception of reality makes the viewer question everything they see. The theme of hundreds of girls and women living with social anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome and other mental health problems is a dark commentary on the mores and structures in modern society.

An excellent Anime that is worth bing watching. It has 24 Episodes. + 24 OVA Mini Chibi Episodes all worth watching.

Storyline: 9/10
Art style: 10/10
Music: 9/10
Fight scenes: 9/10
Overall Enjoyment: 9/10

This is one of the best Magical Girl Anime and Video games I have ever watched and played. Some of the characters in the franchise. Hiori Hirahara, Mio Hirahara, Yuzu & Lime Shijō Yuzuki, Shijō Raimu, Ruka Hanari, Shino Mizusaki, Uta Kamogawa, Nina Yamada, Saiki Yuri, Yukiko Takaoka. Gust Koei Tecmo DMM Pictures Games and Anime. Reflector battles.Blue Reflection Ray is a really good Anime. You should watch it if you haven't yet. The music is beautiful, characters are lovable, gameplay is really good. Also the storyline is very enjoyable. I recommend em to everyone who is either into Anime. Or just wants a fun Magical Girl Anime to watch. The transformations are similar to Sailor Moon and Madoka Magica in a way. Some of the art style reminds me of Yuki Yuna is a Hero. Like the color schemes in some scenarios. Ruka Hanari looks similar to Sailor Mars Rei Heino in a way. This has one of the best Anime OST BGM soundtracks I have ever heard hands down. If you have not played Blue Reflection, Tie/Second or even watched the Blue Reflection Ray Anime. Than your missing out. This series is quite enjoyable and lovable. Blue Reflection Ray that takes place between the first and second game that is a must watch. Really enjoyed it a lot. Blue Reflection Sword other the girl who dances in illusions. Blue Reflection Tie.

I love Mel Kishida's art style. It's very pretty. The Anime as a whole is perfect. It may not be the cream of the crop, but it's still really fun. And really enjoyable.
