Decent episode. It seems this anime really plays around with feelings and doubts. And also, Momo is someone to keep a close eye on for she is a clever girl.

I absolutely LOVE the shoujo/classic mahou shojo style that this show has. The artistic direction feels more like a SHAFT show than JC staff, hats off to them for what they’ve done so far.

It looks like we’re gonna be in a for a darker take on the genre, which is always welcome. Inb4 people try to call it a Madoka clone as if every dark mahou shojo series is a Madoka rip off.

Great episode, really looking forward to learning about the origin of the reflectors, their powers and what factions are at work.

How the hell are we gonna stick around for 2 cours of this mediocre game adaptation? Thank You, Next.

Ruka and Hiori are confirmed a pair of Reflectors with the Reflector ring, but other than that, I don't ever think that I'll get invested in whatever story this cooks up, because it's a plot of feelings and despair that can be overtly subvertive with the Yuri undertones of some of its characters (a.k.a. Uta).

If anything, Momo is the singular point to look out for in the developnent of the overall plot.

This is just meh, and considering the game's popularity...it's one-for-one in average decency.

Good episode for sure. Can't say I'm fully hooked as of yet, but I am invested in what it's showing at least. The set up for next week looks very interesting.

A very uneventful and dull episode spent standing around, waiting to pick things up from where they were interrupted last week. The baddies are like the goodies, only worship despair and sadness or something. The sadistic tease is fine and one of the few characters with any joy for life in this show, ironically enough. Most of the episode was again spent mincing around about how you should stay out of other people's business, which seems premature considering that there's not much business going on to stay out of. It's one thing to refuse a call to action. It's another to complain about other people wanting to answer calls to action that haven't even come. You need a dead Uncle Ben or something already.

This is just a drag. Aesthetics aside (animation itself is stiff so just aesthetics only looking sort of different), this adaptation really just screams mediocrity at its finest, which is the perfect word I would use for most anime adaptations of games really.

So far animation really carries, characters are interesting but the boring mouth vomit dialogue really puts this show lower than it could be, I hope they use the slow pace for fleshing out our cast and magic system

Mediocre and boring this continues to be. Really kind of depressing considering I do have a liking to the magical girl genre. I'll stick around for now, at least, but it seems to be the usual gig with a dose of Hand Shakers and Wixoss.

Yikes. This episode was really boring for me. I couldn't get more than halfway through it!

The animation's pretty stiff, and the "cloudy" art style makes everything feel kind of blurred and hard to look at. The characters and premise aren't very interesting so far...

I was really looking forward to this show after watching the first trailer, but I don't think I'll be watching any more, unfortunately!

I hope the people who stick with it find something to enjoy!

It was better than the previous ep, but not very interesting even so.
I like the fact that this is an old-fashioned maho shojo, in terms of aesthetics, so I guess I can handle the boringness. I've also liked the way they animated the "other-world", it's pretty.

Accamer is doing the ED, another plus

Otherwise, it was a fine episode. The leads are pretty generic, but kinda enjoy them that way, and I liked that rooftop scene. I'll keep up with this as a fun little casual watch

Blue Reflection Ray is really good. It picks up. And gets really good. The art style is really beautiful. I feel like those if you who have not played the Blue Reflection video games are not gonna know the story of the Anime when it first starts. The art style and storyline is easy to follow. And i say continue the Anime. It gets really good. The story picks up. So does the animation. It's by far one of the best Animes of the year.

This is calming to watch, actually I enjoy the slow pace. It’s fine while I play the game and makes the world more engaging. I wasn’t expecting this to be yuri bait but I guess the game gave that off immediately anyway.

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.
