Mei just seems like the type who perfers to work alone and take the responsibility herself. She definitely underestimated the problem.

One of the more tougher fights in this show for sure though. That required a group effort or it would've went nowhere or worse. I hope Mei learns from the experience.

I'm glad Lily is okay.

It was cool to see Mei in action. She's such a badass.

Mei being as friendly as she always is.
She might be stoic but getting herself deliberately hurt seems counterintuitive of that she is supposed to be doing she is increasing the number of victims (herself) and injury might disrupt her current and future jobs.
Well she is a stark contrast to the others girls we have seen and seeing the owner of AST it might be that they are going for girls like that.

Mei just being as warm as ever and not allowing herself to be helped by other magical girls. The fight scenes was fantastic.

Oh I'm glad the situation is less severe than I thought. But it seems like we haven't see the worst of the enemy yet.

Thank God things didn’t get as bad as I thought they would from last ep with Lily. I also love that they didn’t berate Mei’s method of dealing with the Kai as “wrong” like there’s all these different magical girl companies and they all have different approaches of dealing with Kai. Some focus on the enjoyability of the experience like Magilumiere with the smiles, and some like AST are more worried about the efficiency. Neither is wrong, ultimately clients just want the Kaii eliminated and to be safe lol.

It was hard to watch Mei sit there and take all those attacks from the Kai, but hey, she knows what she’s doing. I didn’t expect Lily to be such a messy person outside of work though lol. Just goes to show people can be symbols and push others to be better while being flawed humans themselves. No one is perfect, but we can stand for something greater!

I’m worried about the Kai mutations now, though. Why did they start mutating and what will they become 🤔 Shigemoto and his old buddy seem to know quite a bit

Lily is a badass, she took that attack like a boss and kept on going s if nothing happened.
AST & Magilumiere are probably going to be forever rivals.
Wondering whether Kouji & Koga are related or were good friends in the past, they have history which we hopefully will learn about eventually.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

Lots of words, saying nothing. That pretty much sums up this whole episode. Lots of "You look better when you smile." type vibes too. Doesn't help that the fights in this anime are 90% standing around talking while the monster watches. Even when the monsters are actually fighting, barraging the magical girls with attacks, they're just ranged attacks while the monster stands in one spot doing nothing, and the magical girl responds by standing in one spot doing nothing and somehow only being scratched a few times.

Was not expecting the Joker blood smile from Lilly, that was pretty hardcore.

Also this episode might have just won me over to the Lilly/Kana ship

That magical girl from AST rubs me the wrong way, but as long as Sakuragi remains weak, she is unable to argue against her. She better get stronger in the next episodes.

LILY:

"This is only a scratch"

Just a cut is all, spreads blood over lips... SMILE •ᴗ•

"Mahou Shoujos must always wear a beautiful smile"

Yup, especially during "befriending". (o wait, wrong type of mahou shoujos)

.

And we got "combat oriented" cool-no-emotion-facial mahou shoujo, Mei, with advanced magic equipments. (where her weapon looks like a sword that's made up with computer Chips)

She's the exact opposite of Lily (who would do anything to protect others and make everything looks OK).

Mei is as said, "robotic" that just aims for the "results" anything else like shows or making things look ok are secondary.

.

And Kana is conflicted in between the 2 totally different approach to "what it means to be a mahou shoujo".

What will Kana end up with?

Similar to Lily that make things look ok and fun. Or be like Mei that just focus on results.

Which interestingly... seems to be the same situation that Prez and the other company dude's drama in how they think mahou shoujo should work.

(additionally, this goes with previous episode about "mahou shoujo" isn't for little girls. As we see more evidence that anything mahou shoujo do are now directly linked to business as they read data and turn those data into profits)

.

And LOL @ Lily's "day"... hehe... she's a Drama-watching-fanatic

Also... what did Lily use to "turn off the alarm" while facing the other direction... (I don't think you can turn arms behind your back straight like that)

(which is as I said above, she strive to "making everything look OK" even when the reality isn't, LOL)

So we got trolled and Lily got just a little cut on her cheek due to monster attack.

Mei is indeed robotic.

I had a feeling previous ep could have been a fake out cliffhanger.

So no one is going to point out it could be inferred Lily must think lips painted in blood is a nice smile? She totally didn't need to smear her blood yet she's all about aesthetics.

They finally made me drop it. I tried to get familiar with this genre, but this show was definitely a mistake.
It tries to convince you that it's some sort of new take on this genre. It was supposed to show the dark side of magical girls' industry and shitty corporate life. Instead it praises corpos and feed you with marketing bullshit. I feel like it tries to say, "Hey kid, look how cool it is to work in the office. Be smart, do you homework, and you'll find the job!". I don't mean this anime has to be brutal and dark, they could still make it much better in the form of comedy. But jokes here are just lame and not funny.
Characters here so one dimensional, except maybe their boss. And every single one citizen is stupid and act like NPC.
How is this rated higher than Acro Trip? Which is actually good parody. Even Gushing over magical girls was better than Magi Lumiere, I didn't like it, but it was sometimes funny.
Btw, this anime has one of the most confusing and boring magic systems I ever seen. What is magic in this world? Where it comes from? Is this technology? Why no magical boys? Why nobody uses it in regular life? Does transformation has any meaning? Why are magic spells so long and confusing, like configuration files. If this is technology, then there no sense to make spells so complicated, magic call interfaces must be simple.
The only good thing about this anime is animation. And ED, it's funny. If whole anime had this energy they showed in ED, it would be much better.

we got lily hurt baited i thought she'd at least get scared as a form of "not dying but getting something worse" but instead we got her having a badass joker moment she gets to keep smiling lol

i find it hard to not fault the logic of the AST magical girl results are results but you can at least be a bit more cheerful as a sign of hope for people which is most likely what Sakuragi wants to strive for but is currently too weak to prove anything outside of knowledge.

That's right Sakuragi, it's okay to have our own aesthetic.
That is what makes us different than those robot Mahou Shoujo from AST.
I hate that girl but god damn she delivered the result.

Sakuragi need to level up for sure!!


That post credit scene is hilarious, Lily is one of US!!
