Even with a festival and fireworks this episode, there's still many scenes of despair.

Hiori is fighting the good fight again as usual. Nina is also back full of anger. It seems she really let her emotions got the best of her. Too bad this festival episode couldn't be full of happiness.

Momo's clearly hiding a secret, and it's not that good. And I still don't like Masochist Uta's perception on things, as crude as it can be, to the non-believing Niina. Hiori's such a naive girl for the cute pleasantries, and Ruka and Miyako just kinda have to accept her simple behaviour whilst tackling Momo's issue.

Indeed, Ruka finds about the connection between her and Hiori's sister Mio, and the news is just that: once resonating Reflector partners, now enemies.

The whole Sister and church-like feature of evil Reflectors, I still don't buy that idea, but when the plot does serve the plate, the nastiness of feelings and emotions are wrought with pure self-idolatory.

While Hiori gave it her all against Niina, the real drought is with the reveal of Mio, fallen to the dark side with Hiori in total disbelief. Once again, another innocent girl with her soul taken and lost, and the Reflectors are at a loss.

This show be cursed for the Yuri aspect of overwhelming feelings and emotions.

Finally, some despair to Hiori, instead of Hinako (main heroine of the game) she didn't know despair until this episode. I still think the mastermind is the girl who have a crystal like disease on hands and maybe Mio tries her best to save her. Now to spoilers.

A background/mob character that doesn't interrupt an important dialogue is always welcome.

This is one of the most depressing summer festival possible, this time they lost.
Hiori's wish to see her sister has been granted but in a bad way, that was harsh.

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.
