| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The characters can't run from their troubles. From the finale, we got the resolution of all the despair. The stars falling from the sky and clearing kind shows hope emerging again. It wasn't an easy journey but I see the show went with a peaceful ending. Not sure if I'll give the upcoming games a try (they're not even related to the anime). This was an alright show imo. |

| Of course, this is the fight to the death: Shino vs. the rest of the Reflectors in the same solemn manner of saving the feelings of girls stolen. The ultimatium to stop evil at the source, amend wrong decisions made and correct Shino's path, both her and Hiori are one and the same that initially somewhere in the line got disconnected. Being able to reach a place where feelings are not denied and treasured, this is a nice ending all things considered. This endng isn't half-bad at all, i'll give it that to be happily surprised to see that it got a peaceful resoulution. But overall, this is still the same shitty promotional work of game adaptations falling flat on its face. Never once regretted giving appalliing scores to 2-cour game adaptations that are just boring as hell and a pain in the ass to watch what could've been a 1-cour but went twice as long because of "ambitions". SMH. |

| I may be a part of a minority here but I think it wasn't as bad as most other game adaptation, the animation is meh but the artistic direction is interesting and most of the characters are also entertaining, this is not too original for this kind of plot but still pleasant to watch in my opinion |
 |
| Nice Finale i like it. Still Hiori have some memory problems cause she isn't remember Shino at all, and Shino is so fixated on Mio but in truth she want Hiori to be her friend. I guess only Mio lost her memories and that's why she wasn't with girls, but the girl at the end with long hair i have 99% sure that it's Mio. Well,we got a glimpse of true evil in this ep, we don't see who or what gives Shino the power or the ring inside this black portal,but i think black ring is too one of the creation of this mysterious being, maybe we will see it's true form in second game.  Still a lot of questions left and i hope we get all answers in the second game, and i think only Uta can transform now since only her ring is glowing. The world is save right? But why the only ones who can transform is dark reflectors,maybe Miyako too can transform, and why ash is falling down in the middle of summer and no one cares? |

| Pretty good ending, so the black thing was the bad guy all along. Guess I'll have to play the games now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Is Mio gone or what? She wasn't shown like everyone at the end... It's also kinda weird only Uta can transform but with the black thing still around and her being a dark reflector it makes sense. |
| Probably Mio Miyako probably can transform too using a black one |

| I assume the girl whose face was never shown catching the snowflake was Mio...but what is the point of not showing her with Hiori at the end? Seems pretty odd that she would leave Hiori after what happened with their mother. |

Mio probably lost her memories after destroying her fragment in the final battle and that's the reason she isn't with them. |

Not sure if I'll give the upcoming games a try (they're not even related to the anime). This was an alright show imo. Tie/Second Light is related. It can't be a direct sequel and after scene loading could mean Sun too. The Tie is more likely its own story with a characters from Sun,Ray,original game, like it's name suggest to tie all characters together in some new world. |
| as soraKH93 said, yeah, Ray is directly linked with Tie/Second Light, this has been confirmed long ago from the devs and the story of the upcoming game and Hiori is a main character in the upcoming game, Mio and Uta have also been seen in trailers, but it seems like Mio doesnt have her memories, which gives validity to Doomsday770's comment there's also a mobile game coming (cant remember the name right now) which is also linked with the whole rest of the franchise, since a character there is also playable in Tie/Second Light |
 |
| I really liked this anime. Not gonna lie, it's an adquired taste. This anime is not for everyone. I liked the first game and this show too. I'm hyped for the next titles (Sun and Tie). I'm gonna buy Second Light/Tie on day one! I'm curious about what will happen after this ending. |
 |
| I would've settled for a bittersweet ending but I'm glad Ray had a happy ending. Overall I'd say that Ray was better than I had originally expected, even though it's certainly not the most coherent series out there. I'm looking forward to play Second Light and see how it will be connected to Ray. Anyway, here are some illustrations made to commemorate the final episode: Mel Kishida Kikuta Koichi Tamaki Nina, Nina's voice actor |
| Ngl most of the series was excruciatingly bad, but the final couple episodes were decent. This finale was actually kinda emotional. Glad the girls can finally live in peace. |
 |
| The subject is quite deep, it touches on several emotional and psychological points that are mixed with fantasy, they are not very clear, but the idea is there. |
| Re watching episode several times i got a few new things to discuss. It looks like Niina is living in dormitory now and part time working with Momo,the picture in Miyako room suggest that Niina is part of dormitory. For Shino, i never expected to say this but poor Shino, she need to go to normal school after she was a mascot of famous sect for several years, the people in school can make fun of her because of the sect or even tries to bully her. She is a brave kid to find courage to going to school again after all circumstances. Uta the only one who have powers, if she wants she can hurt a lot of people, maybe AASA have some reflectors who can transform since they have black rings,but for now only Uta can transform. About black thing,it goals still unknown but it's kinda lame,if it wants destruction, why give powers only to small number of people? We still don't know how Mio reversed world, in game only Daarth have such power and how this reverse cancelled Netzach destruction of the city? A question after question. |
| nicely done ending. Shino is saved. sad that Mio seems to have been lost because her fragment was destroyed? crazy masochist girl seems to still have her powers, so she is still a threat. going to play the game. Funny, there seems to be a "now loading" screen at the end of the anime. 7/10 |

I've got a feeling that the black thingie that made contact with Shino will return in Second Light. It's probably an emissary of some higher power, testing how to bring destruction to the normal world, and also to the Common. |
| we few did it we got through it to the end, this was mostly not great but i thought if stuck with it it'd pay off in the end and i guess it did get "better" in the final episodes ,not something i'd tell you to go out of your way to watch unless you really like Blue reflection and looking at the sequel game has me interested with how things ended here at least the final looked kinda good? this show was never an looker and i mean it would've helped at least for the fights if it had the quality of the first OP but yeah this show was made on a budget as a game tie in 6/10 i feel like amount of talk about feelings was as redundant as kingdom hearts with hearts and i wish i found all the characters more interesting because they were mostly bland did love the music though |
 |
| Man, what a run! I think this had a lot of potential, but I still liked how it turned out. Momo and Nina, such a Tier 1 waifus, I now realized Im into blonde girls I may try the games to see how the new story goes |
My Candies 2024      My Old Candies:      |
| Why people talk about adaptation when it doesn't adapt ANYTHING of the game. Moreover, it seems that it is what is going to unite the first and the second game that comes out in November, I would say that something mandatory to see if you want to play Second Light. |
 |
| what i expect? -> Mahou Shoujo what i get?? -> errrr...that's it?!? 0/5. 5/10. |
 |
| now in the process of playing the second game combat system improved, and there is now a dating feature added. the anime is crap, but I'm enjoying the games a lot. Hiori is also a more likeable person in the game. dating |
| Thank goodness I read the discussion, Im beginning to wonder why Mio isnt with the rest of the girls. Looks like "that is" the case since Ruka said Momo couldnt transform yet. Nice finale. This series made me stick to the end because it covers a lot of psychological issues about human feelings and emotions, the lines thrown are pretty dark yet theyre the bitter truth of ugly feelings human have. Pretty good series. Im not aware of tbe game but I can say this is really a good one. |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |
| i gotta say i love blue reflection as a whole but Ray while not all bad it was pretty bad.... not to mention i felt that 24 eps was really to much for this it should have just been 12 i feel it would have been much better with just 12 eps i honestly feel people that know nothing about blue reflection and watch this will mostly hate it.... even for me i was able to stick with it to the end because i love blue reflection as a whole not to mention it ties in with the games that being said am still glad i have watch this as it does tie in with the games with a few of the characters from Ray in Tie / second light but it was nice to get the story on them and such other info nonetheless at least Ray ended nice the last few eps was great i just wish all of it was as good with that said am looking forward to SUN when it releases |

| "one step at a time" |
| What a sad conclusion... the show was poorly animated and there quite a lot of questions that never really got answered but I'm gonna ignore them because I enjoyed the last few episodes. Now onto Second Light. |
 |
| Finally decided to finish it after such a long time...The story was all over the place at times, not to mention how the explanation for Shino's powers (and essentially what started this anime series) only came up in the last episode. It felt really dragged out towards the end there. I guess they want to leave the stuff regarding Uta in the gacha game since what was in Tie/Second Light was not shown in the anime other than the part where she awakened to her idea of feeling pain=proof of being alive. Also, I feel like the 2 new characters that came up in the second half were quite unnecessary. They never actually did much (I guess they did serve to bolster the opposing sides' forces) that couldn't be accomplished by some harmful words from Mio or Uta in my opinion. Overall, a rather lackluster anime. Wait...I thought Kokoro knew Hiori and Mio on a more personal level (before the end of the anime) |
