| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Cute toy~ Decent episode imo. Seems like Seira has to deal with her struggles this time. I just love the drama of this how show still though. |
 |
| What a sad past that Seira had. That was brutal how she lost her friend. |
 |
| Hm well I guess I don't dislike Akari as much as I did before. She has definitely changed since the first two episodes. I liked what she said to Seira, how if hearing the daemonia's voices makes her unable to kill them, then it means she lacks resolve. |
| Feel sorry for Seira in this episode, her backstory wasn't what i'd thought it'd have been. RLinksoul said: Did this episode really do it? Did it actually make Seira likable? YES! I'm amazed. This was probably the best episode yet. Very touching, depressing and a little bit heartwarming. 5/5 Gotta agree, gave Seira abit more depth. But damn, Hanae :( |
| Great episode. So that's the reason why she hates so much Daemonia. Poor her and to her friend Manami... |
| So the only one still missing a proper back story is Luna. I really liked the Ginka and Seira episodes. This week's daemonia looked pretty creepy. I wonder if there is any special meaning in its design aside from the two star hair clips of course. |
| Huh, episode focuses on Seira, some character development for her. I can see why she has a strong hatred from the Daemonia from her past. Sad that Hanae has turned but at least she was able to talk to her and resolved. Gave this episode two thumbs up. |
 Akari's sister and now Manami... The backstory is proving to be way better than the actual story. EDIT: Actually, it's Akari's cousin. |

| That past sure was brutal, I can understand her hatred for Daemonia now. But it must hurt to see one of your friends turn into a Daemonia as well, I feel so bad for Seira, she needs a hug ;_;. This was a good episode, I give this one a 5 jacnoronha said: Akari's sister and now Manami... The backstory is proving to be way better than the actual story. My mouth dropped at the scene, I wasn't expecting that to happen to Manami |
 |
| ^ Ouch!...That death made me cringe! Really brutal. No wonder Seira hates them that much. As for the ep, really enjoyed it a lot. Seira's development was top notch. Good job making me forgive her and start liking her. And so was Akari's, what she said about having the resolve to kill them after hearing their voice was really BA from her ^^ These last 2 back stories were really well done. Hope that Luna's will be good as well. But really the way they make u attached to the characters in one episode and then turn them into a Daemonia is amazing writing. Gotta give them props for that. |
 |
| Seira suddenly shot up high as a great character and Akari improved too! Thank you show<3 |
 |
| Damn, that really was a good episode. They've managed to make Seira likeable (I wasn't particularly fond of her until just now and I know I'm not the only one) while also showing that Akari is settling into the role and maturing. It's disheartening that the creators made a great show but so few viewers stuck around to actually see it get better with each new episode because, yeah, that first episode ~was~ kind of a bad introduction when so many other series were premiering at the same time. Also that terribly misguided "Madoka-wannabe" controversy that unfortunately probably still haunts this show by people who, by taking that stance, reveal themselves as having not watched. That aggravates me to no end. |
| Well, this episode persuaded me to raise its rating by one, and there still is half the cour to go. You can expect the average rating to rise by at least a few tenths of a point just by the mechanics of how it is calculated when it finishes its run, but I also think there will be other people like me who raise it from a mediocre score to a good average score (in MAL terms that seems to be a 7 or slightly above). It's got some very attractive features and the plot seems to be developing some nuances, but ground-breaking it isn't and, unlike some, I find the gory deaths of lolis to be more than a little off-putting. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
 There's that Ashe Ult! (LoL Players get the reference) Good Episode like always. |
| Finally, they didn't drag this smug attitude of Seira longer! Finally she's a more enlightened. She was simply weaker because she lacked to resolve to eliminate them even after hearing their voice. Now she finally understands. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| And the last to resist Akari's BS has fallen. *deep sigh* Moral of the story so far... we should listen to the voices because... we should! Seriously who cares what they're saying. I could understand it if they were trying to get info that would end up pointing them towards the people responsible but, as it is it's absolutely 100% pointless. Well now that we've gotten past the obligatory Akari converts everyone to her way of thinking episodes out of the way, maybe we'll finally get to the meat of the story. *sigh* (￢_￢) |
| Few maxims have done as much harm as, "Children should be seen and not heard." |
| That death was sick i was not expecting something like that, it made me cringe when i saw that. |
 |
| Was surprised to hear Akari say that during the Daemonia fight. She definitely changed from when she started to first fight them. Oh man, Manami got it bad. That's gotta be a horrible memory. |
| Seira was always my favorite character in this anime. I loved her character design and her power (I'm a sucker for bows). Now I just want to give her a hug, the way her friend died was terrible. I cringed at that scene and played it over to confirm that really just happened. I love the character development and all but I really want the plot to move along. I'm thinking a Luna episode might be next following the pattern but I don't know since she already believes in talking to the Daemonia. |

I really hope this chick killed her hairstylist before she died because seriously. This is the ugliest mullet I've ever seen. She almost deserved to die just for that sin to hair. |
| I was annoyed with Seira's attitude in earlier episode's but now that I've seen her backstory she makes total sense. It also looks like my prediction about Seira trying to leave the team was correct, although I was wrong about her trying to go off on her own. It's quite fascinating that the seemingly "strong" character is the one who is actually weak at heart. It's quite impressive that a monster of the week anime has managed to have such unique episodes, and I like the attention given to the people who turn into demonica's. I hope they go deeper into the fact that the people who turn into them are erased. At the moment it seems like a cheap way to explain why no ones doing something about all these unexplained murders, so I hope more attention is paid in future. Great episode. 5/5 |
| good development for blue ice shooter. i first think if her friend become a daemonia, but it's wrong her friend got killed by daemonia, because that she hates daemonia so much and dont want to comunicate with them That manami death remind me for watching Another lol.Damn this anime make me feel bad, they kill some random lolis every week T_T so 3/4 of team has deal with their problem, last one will be tohou girl to deal with (or maybe not because she has already tells akari her past) and finaly they will fight with antagonist transgender hoodie -_- |
| The feels..... It's good Seira at last make up with Akari |
 |
| Finally, a Seira-centric episode. The backstory of the resident Kuudere (because she's a cold Ice Queen and not emotionless, which is a Dandere). I've been waiting for this. We see part of her past, and from that it's straightforward to think why she absolutely insisted on destroying the Daemonia. I do agree with others that her backstory wasn't what I expected. This time, even miss Straight Arrow falters too, when faced with the choice of destroying an enemy she actually knew. All of her other enemies so far had been unrelated to her, so this is a true test of her resolve. Not so easy now, is it? It's nice how she was able to become closer to Akari after this, hopefully she becomes a lot nicer in the next episodes. Now this I can say to be a good episode. On a side note, KitaEri makes some HNNNNGH-worthy "eheh~" sounds when voicing young girls. On top of her great performance with emotional lines. <3 |
| So next week will be a Luna focused episode? Any case it showed a little bit about Seira's back ground and her way of thinking, she looked like a happy cute girl in the past. Loosing her friend like that was a great shock to her and she changed a lot for that. |
| Amazing how two days could build up so much friendship for Seira, though not seeing Ginka getting affected, probably due to the absence of the 2nd day.. I do find it unconvincing enough... maybe it's just me. But it's good to see that Seira and Akari could get along in the future. :) |
| Another pretty good episode, though kinda predictable throughout. The main thing this show is lacking in is pacing, which I suppose is kind of normal for a show of this length. Still, they need to stop jumping from scene to scene every 12 seconds because they're missing a lot of opportunities to develop the characters more smoothly, as opposed to just springing it on us at the last second. |

While examining the situation, Etia you decide to give your vacations rookie troops. 4 people do not know anything, enjoy the rest after a long time. Meanwhile, a new reality of Daemonia was about to be solved in Sefiro Fiore. So equivalent of a mid-cour "beach episode" or whatever, but something interesting gets revealed. Vacation isn't looking terribly relaxing, judging by the preview pics. |
| Boring. This show is a severe case of character development getting in the way of the plot. We get a Monster of the Week, characterization on side characters that either die or have no purpose for the story, and a focus on one of the main characters. And that's it, the end. |
 |
| It is kind of obvious, but I would like to know for sure if: 1. The two daemonia destroyed at the start of the episode were the two friends of Ginka's uncle. 2. The heart the hospital received for the transplant is Hanae's (Doctors might have already forgotten who was the donor, but they salvaged her heart from her dying body). If true the devil did kept ths time around his side of the bargain. I wonder if Luna will be turned into a Daemonia later on, as everyone keeps getting closer to Akari her jealousy is bound to increase. I wonder if Seira is be able to do a pec-bounce with her muscular tities :9 |
jacnoronha said: ^ that...and Seira... crying? Oh the feels! |
  |
| Spoiler talk for those who have not seen the episode yet. And now I felt like that Seria needs a hug. :( (Seriously I want to weep some more...) |
 "Everyone go love Cyan!" |
| Whoever write or direct this show should know that killing off a loli in a brutal way isn't the only way to made a "dark" or "deep" show. |
joshua_mai said: Whoever write or direct this show should know that killing off a loli in a brutal way isn't the only way to made a "dark" or "deep" show. Seira's blinding hatred had to be justified somehow and it wasn't going to be because daemonia made her toast land butter-side down on the floor. You had to anticipate something horrific in her past and something remarkably horrific is what we got. Its long been established that the price for a contractor's wish is possession that invariably leads to the murder of innocents. Seira was spared no exception when her best friend was impaled on the scaffolding. Someone HAD to die. |
RLinksoul said: joshua_mai said: Whoever write or direct this show should know that killing off a loli in a brutal way isn't the only way to made a "dark" or "deep" show. It's missing that element of false advertisement and shock value that made Madoka such a massive success. No, it's missing a good plot. |
|
| what a sad episode for Seira... that Manami killing in brutal way...i was so shocked when that happens... now, Seira understands why Akari is having a hard time defeating the Daemonia... xD |
| Best episode yet. Maybe ill give it a 7/10 |
 |
| I would be more moved by Manami's death/Seira's loss if they actually showed something more to their friendship beside that single alpaka plush. Also lol @ Manami, "everybody now what alpaka is, common knowledge". I'm sure it is, especially in Japan where they have a friggin' dating sim dedicated to them. Nevertheless, the episode was okay. I liked the twist behind Seira being the most emotional of the group actually and the two girls were believable. I can say that I finally felt something for the characters, Hanae and her friend were so adorable in their friendship, I was sad after you-know-what. |
| ok no complains this time, the ep was good |
 |
| her flaskback story is scary... akari look cool. |
