THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The chairman of Novumundus (the Earth organization with the Vox) is a lolita, and she is quite the character (I lol'd when she grabbed Madoka's breast when they first met). She almost grounded Madoka and her Vox but changed her mind after seeing the three girls talk to each other when Lan and Muginami tried to "boycott" the decision. In the end, it appears she was about to cut a deal with Villaguio but changed her mind. The real problem appears to be Moid, though.

Seems like Asteria has a habit of grabbing certain body parts of Madoka when she want's to know something from her.
Even tho she seems like a little girl she is very mature which makes me wonder about her age.
And with this one more question is raised when will Madoka be allowed to fly her Vox again.
And what is Lan's planet after since there behaviour is also pretty suspicious.
I also hope that Lan wan't stop with saying wan.

Asteria is a perverted but very mature and calm loli and a bossy one at that and she's working both sides, as she is also fraternizing with Villa and his henchmen at the end but the deal fell through. The Protest was lolworthy, I also wonder what's going on Lan's planet that's making her nervous.

Makes me feel bad the creators left the shoujo-ai out however there is a manga in the works so there's hope.

3/24 Japanese release

I want for sure.

So yeah of Asteria, perhaps a loli that is bi or just plain likes skinship or should I say breasts. Damn she should play more with Muginami. She has the best and softest ones. That loli ain't know better than to pick Madoka. Regardless Asteria in the following,

along in the spoiler
has all the features that drive my libido into just wanting to marry her and do her all night. Her face in the spoiler
is the form of IRL of the blond and blue eyes like she has is sadly my ideal girl. With some Sae's personality. Hence I can immensely find myself enjoying more this series with her despite her snobbish ways towards Madoka. If she really wants to grab Madoka's breasts, she should give us out more fan service in a bath since I am sure many Otakus would want that. I would not mind around, I like her very much.

While I cannot fathom myself of how MOE it got in the following,

that is plain A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. Nothing can be said of it. In fact must be the most MOE with all 3 girls. Sharing your bed and sleeping altogether with no sexual involvement is the best bliss ever.

Anyone else thinks Asteria is a little snobby/arrogant? May edit later if time allows.

BTW End Art in the spoiler
just makes Asteria hnnnnghhhhhhttt much more. I am sorry but no words can describe my drive for Asteria.

The manga was out a while back and in terms of yuri there already is in there. In fact the manga has explicit nipple and nudity so itself is premise for more ecchi in the anime or uncensoring. That much I can confirm.


I like the sound of that.

Yeah but chances are it was a magazine exclusive then.

I don't think she revoked the grounding decision, she just said she wouldn't punish Lan and Muginami for breaking regulations. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Madoka's grounding is still in effect.

Good, episode. Finally a little more insight on Moid's true motives.

It looks like there's a lot of plotting going on. This episode seems like more of an Info dump and setup episode for the next wave of action before the series breaks.

Poor Lan. She is so naive and she gets tormented constantly for it.

That's 2nd loli chairman this season, cool. I still can't grasp all of this, few terms are yet to be explained but i couldn't care less, it'll be explained sooner or later. Yuri aura is strong in this one, nothing more will develop out of it though.
Also i was thinkig they're gonna rush the ending, then i recalled it'll have 2nd season - YES!

ok nice to have some explanations here
plus it seems that everyone has hidden agenda or two - it's good for the plot but I hope it won't go into any dark and angsty regions
btw I have no idea what to expect from next episode

but that girl... she was both likable and I wanted her to die quicky - in a bit simultaneous way
on the bright side - interaction between Madoka, Muginami and Lan. Nice and warm :) that was great - plus seeing "thinking" side of Madoka (not in her usual mode of do and than think), which is big positive

and signs :D

Good episode,the new loli is awesome!!!

Asteria is just awesome not only she is a blue eye/blond loli,she also has power and a amazing personality even to humiliate Array that way....but he really looked cute as a maid.....no i must resist......
Also she seems to know a lot of wtf its happening and even has deals with Villaguio...

The Trio was cute this episode specially loved the bed scene they were so cute poor Lan she is just like a scary cat and she got her hearth broken by saying woof it not a welcoming :(

As i through Moid has his own agenda and appears that the king(i think is Lan brother) its behind all....

Next episode seems like it will school festival time with Villaguio gang with a lot of screen time....lets see how it continues!

I think Asteria was talking to Villagiulio about giving them the Voxes because if

the Rinne event happened again, according to the legend it could destroy

Earth.But if she gave them to Villagiulio the Vox ships would be effectively off

world and would not pose a problem to Earth if they ever went "nova."

And yet Lans government wants the flowering event to occur!very interesting.I

think Asteria is playing the long game in the interests of Earth

I forgot to mention this the last time we were discussing why this anime is rated so low.

Basically anime depends on two major components....IMO.

#1 Story.......this includes but is not limited to plot, storyline, and how fluid the anime is from episode to episode.

#2 Likability.....this includes but is not limited to characters, setting, and various other components which differ from person to person....in other words "Taste".

We've already discussed that Rinne no Lagrange has a somewhat confusing/mysterious plot which can and DOES turn people off, myself included.

We also know that a large majority of anime fans don't like Mecha, that could possibly be the reason why this anime isn't so popular compared to other anime airing this season which have more popular generes such as romance comedy, slice of life, shounen, seinen, and horror.

As for the characters, Lan and Madoka might be likable, but everyone else is either unlikable or bland and boring.

Overall, I blame the low score on the confusing plot and the fact that this anime seems very inconsistent.

It seems like the story changes every single episode, first we're fighting, then we have love drama, then we have ecchi scenes, then we have mystery....all while very little is being explained.

Poor Madoka is getting sexually harassed by everyone. The protest, complete with signs, was really funny.

"Wan wa uso". I really wanted to give Lan a big hug there, she was so depressed. I hope she won't stop using it though, it was quite cute of her.

I don't like the loli, don't see why it was necessary, I liked the first few episodes of the show a lot more than these recent ones. Well, the story is progressing 4/5.

Ps: Needs more MARU!

Probably because people like shows that spoon-feed them with information, so they can feel how deeeeeep the story is. Also under-hyped is always better than over-hyped imo.

So La Gracia people are originally from Earth. This probably explain why they are the only one trying to get Vox. Considering there are three other alien factions fighting with/against La Gracia (as I remember someone has mentioned it before), I feel that I'm only staring at a small puzzle piece of a bigger picture. With that being said, I assume the first half of the show will focus on Vox legend and Kiss v.s. La Gracia; and the second half will be about the war that is going on with other alien factions.




p.s. And what's with this irresistible urge of wanting to hug Lan every time I see her on screen. I've seen quite few moe-blob shows, but I have never felt this way before...

That is pretty wild fire there. I do believe that Lan's home world might have been destroyed and that her along with some other ones are the last survivors of Le Granite itself.

It's interesting to find out why would the flower of Aura destroy Earth itself.

That is another interesting point and I have the following from the OP,

that proves that Madoka's Vox's power might be A Planet Portal. Notice the portal has the same motives as those flowers of Aura? Well maybe that is why I think it's some Planet Portal. If so then it would explain that Moid has plans to move the Earth to where the Planter of Le Granite is. If such is the case we might have a problem.

As we don't know if that transportation will destroy Earth or not nor we know how it will turn out if the Planet is subject to such transportation or even what effects would a new Solar System have on it.

In any case it might provide SHIT HIT THE FANS in many ways if such occurrence happens.

I just realized a flash of insight. What if the legend has similarities governed in Madoka Magica. As in the cup get too tainted you become a Witch. Well if the emotions of the user on the Vox gets too negative than it will turn into a machine that is far more dangerous? A demon so to speak.

So as long as any Vox pilot does not have negative emotions in them then the Legend can never come true. So in thee end it kind of has the principalities with Madoka's cup. Madoka was quite negative towards Magunami back then when she activated her super powers of the Vox.

Well, a few episodes back I commented that I think the Vox work by feeding off of the pilot's emotions - the pilot doesn't 'control' them so much as they reflect and amplify the what the pilot wants and feels. I won't even restrict the 'Super Vox' to being invoked only by intense negative emotions - I predict that intense fear, love (of any sort, not only for a lover but also that for a close friend) and desire to protect will do the same thing.

I might have missed out on your post. Sry. That being said I think it's only negative cause destruction is always negative according to what the legend says. It just struck with more explanations this episode of how similar it can be to the Madoka's rules of becoming a witch.

"Wan wa uso." Every time I think that Lan has reached the peak of huggability, she ascends a little more :-o

And Array was so cute as a maid - I want to take him home ^^

Story-wise, the fog started to clear up remarkably this time. Seems like Moid is the biggest problem after all, and that male trio apparently progressed from non-evil antagonists to (albeit inofficial) allies. Even Youko signed up for investigating together with Le Garite. That's so much like how stuff works in real-life - you won't find a clear 100%-position wherever you look. They sure manage to keep me interested.

Concerning that legend, it would be really cool IMHO if it would turn out to be just a fairytale or largely exaggerated - like at least 99% of all myths actually do. But I doubt it will turn out that way. At least they're starting to investigate and search for a way to cheat their way out of it if it were true.

And yes, we just got a cool and dominant loli - many thanks for that :-) Reminds me that I should continue watching Seikon no Qwaser ^^

Not a complaint on my side - you're following a pile of shows also and it's hard to keep track of who said what. :)

It's impossible to say at this point for sure, but my gut feeling is that the comparison to Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica won't pan out. I'm thinking that there will be "another way".
