"Homura" Rei is finally the focus ;-)


Homu/Rei and Kyubey/Crow who seems to be the reason of the evil powers.

alright how many of you are watching for the "plot"


The 'back' story LOL

But really, it is a fun show! Simplicity. Fun. Cute. Happy. Enjoyable. What more does it need to be? It is a nice escape from reality for 24 minutes a week.


Yeah, an anime with a very well shaped, tight "back"story. This episode with Rei's "back"story in the spotlight proved that point even more.^_^


Anyway, i must admit this show is as you said. It's a little like guilty pleasure.

I keep waiting for the Crow to say "Doushite, Rei-Chan? Doushite?"

Well, if the safety is on, you don't actually have much to worry about.

Rei is pretty cute herself and I liked seeing her backstory. And it was interesting to find out why she's behind all of these alone attacks.

Nah Wakaba is easily still on top - when you let a TALKING crow manipulate you into destroying a world you auto lose points besides Wakaba is .. Wakaba!
You've got a point. xD

Also.. I'm starting to get ticked off by all these ass shots. =/ We seriously don't need that many. Come on now. They're all like 5 seconds from each other and same angles too. >.> Akane's "hehehe" is starting to tick me off a lot as well. Once or twice in an episode is super cute but when it starts being 4-5+ times it just sounds fake and annoying.

That's what I'm talking about. The purple-haired girl is the most interesting to me so I was delighted to find out more about her. ED was nice too.

So the crow controls Rei. It's a crow. It's a crow.
This is almost on the same level as the episode in Kobato where she healed a tree.
I'd like to know more about Rei's story, as of now it's kind of shallow.
But I guess that this isn't the show for drama, we need more lolis and fast, right?
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

I am so happy to hear the voice of my beloved Trudie (from Strike Witches) in this episode but unfortunately she has become a crow here... :-(
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

So......Rei is totally not similar to Homura, and it's not almost an entirely direct ripoff.

I swear.

:: nods in agreement ::

This show is following the magical girl stereotype perfectly. So now it's only a matter of time before Homura Rei becomes their friend.

They sure love keys in this series.

Rei is definitely not Homura. *cough*

Interesting episode about Rei with a bit of backstory and a very cute ending :3 I do wonder what all that was about and why those Alone's goal is to destroy that generator!

...and I just said in the previous episode the overabundance of fanservice was their backup plan.... this is just getting kind of sad. At this rate, each episode is going to have between 30 seconds to a full minute of nude scenes a piece, possibly more, and they''ll be spending half of the animation budget on bouncing breast animators. I guess they really fell short of the reception they thought they were going to get, haha....

That isn't to say there isn't some interesting aspects to the "Alone" and why this girl is helping them, or interesting questions, but it's almost a guarantee nothing substantive will be done with them, at least as far as plot and character development. The only character that will likely see any more development at all is the Homura clone, and I'm almost certain she'll just be a "victim" and end up asking for help and being saved by the other girls (or being saved by force).

This anime has yet to deviate from the most stale archetypes this genre.. or anime in general, have to offer... and there's no reason to expect THAT to change 6 or more episodes into the season.

Rei being controlled by that crow was a bit surprising, but at least her motives are clear now. She just wants to have her family back.

So.. Alons promise Rei to again see "her world".. Interesting..
Somehow it also related to her parents.. Returning parents or something..
Well, things doesn't necessary work as that raven says.. As reverting disappearance of the world or something.. It is possible.. But also wouldn't be too surprised, if that's a lie..
