THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
First half this episode felt pretty boring.

However, when I see that Mary girl, I get anxious to see her next move. Yunaelle is somewhat amusing although it's hard to take them seriously with their childish personality.

Nothing wrong with being afraid in this death game.

The dark side is developing fast now the truth is out the question is what will happen next, it's clear more characters will die.

Honestly, Top Speed is probably best magical girl. Fun personality she has.

They find out from Fav himself that you die. Damn.

Of course, you can ''trade'' magic candies now. Fucking hell, Fav :D

What really stupid in current "win or die" situation is that they can't stop being magical girls and stay alive. So...mahoujo for the rest of their life?

Now they know the truth behind that "cease of becoming magical girls" really mean.
And that Magicaloid's voice could it be the same VA for Beatrice? >_<

Decent episode.

The reveal happened earlier than I expected, Didn't think the girls would find out the truth so quickly.
The way Fav just nonchalantly says 'You'll die' is like it doesn't even matter.

Souta being the 'man' among the magical girls and declaring his knighthood to Snow White.

So magical candies can now be transferred a.k.a stolen, Expected something like this would happen. Snow White is gonna be a target for everyone. :(
Well, The show should start becoming darker and darker now, So let the battles, blood and deaths begin.

You didn't ask pon. Well only one of them actually ask.
Kinda week method to discover what's going on, but whatever.

Nice to see more Top Speed and some action in Ruler camp.
Ruler army vs Main hero and her knight. Someone gonna die here.

Also i think it's great that we see thing from different POVs. But i hope it doesn't end with just showing next opponent for Snow White.

They took it in calmer way than I have expected. This does not feel realistic at all. Maybe that was the point.. I don't know.

I have thought they reaction would be like the population of Sword art online when the truth was revealed, with total desperation and panic.

Well not sure about you guys thou, I have read the series very long ago and I can tell you guys the story is a bit stupid really. At first you are surprised about the dying and stuffs, then later it will just purely turn to killing game.

The part that will interest you is 1) whose alive at the end and 2) the real identity behind those mahou shoujo.

Freakin Monokuma pon. I hope they can bend the rules somehow and beat him without needing to sacrifice more people ; - ; I will be at least happy if more than 8 magical girls will survive at the end of this series...

If this show kills more than half then fuck me sideways.

Protect the character designs at all cost!!!


PS: Kuroko is now a robot lolol. Surprised to hear Satomi again. xDD

So not only does this psychopathic monochrome floating rabbit demon thing kill you if you earn the least candies, it's now actively encouraging everyone to kill each other by letting everyone take candies from each other without a care in the world. Also, the way he so casually says "you'll die" is seriously creepy and fucked up. This show certainly deserves credit for combining Monokuma and Kyubey, that's for sure.

It'll be interesting to see who's the first to get screwed over and die because of these new rules; it obviously won't be Snow White (I hope), but I still wonder how she and La Pucelle are going to escape frm being tag-teamed by Ruler and her group.

Well, shit got pretty real at the end. Fucking Fav basically instigated them to kill each other until only the half of them remains.

The revelation that how they manage to know what happened if they stop being magical girls was a bit underwhelming, but I know that was made to make shit hit the fan, so any complain on here.

Like they focused a bit in Ruler and her group, since I honestly like her. I wonder how the showdown will end, and how much Souta will remain loyal to Koyuki when things start to get even uglier.
I think we will have the first violent death of the series in the next episode...

I don't trust Cranberry at all too. She was smiling when Top Speed read the news about Nemu's death, and she was smiling creepily too in the first scene of the series when she kills that monster. She doesn't plans anything good for sure.

Btw, I cannot take seriously that robot with the voice of Shirai Kuroko, seriously xD

I just realized Swim swim might be that girl whom Nemurin last visited. The sillhoutte looks like that kid. That's why Ruler was in her dream. Swim swim is a kid, hence, her difficulty understanding vocabularies.

I wonder if she saw Nemurin's death in her dream though. I don't think they show that part for nothing. There has to be a purpose xDD

Wow,this anime is starting to become darker.
This is different from what we all thought being magical girls would be,perhaps real life is that cruel...
At least,this anime doesn't have the jammed stories problem,but the first half is meaningless,getting candies and get fame...my reaction:"Whatever,just get to point!!!"
But at least the story becomes more interesting and thrilling to me,especially for the main protagonist "snow",who doesn't expect the incoming challenge.
Quite decent episode,4/5

Ooh. I'm still annoyed at Nemurin dying on me, but like the cliffhanger-esque ending for the episode. I also like how usually in shows like this, the first person dying is like a plot device that can be easily cleared up in about 3 minutes after the incident and then completely forgotten afterwards. This actually got padded out for a bit of time. Whether it carries over into future episodes would be a great decision maker for me if this is a good first death thing.

Have to say though, the episode as a whole only really started gaining speed at the second half, leaning towards the end. But as I said before, the cliff hanger plus the impending death for someone (I'm assuming) next episode, hopefully that should be better than this week. However, I still enjoyed it nonetheless.
Forever wishing for an unrealistic Anime romance.

The news that is says how Nemu died of heart attack, it sounded like a Death Note.
Irony, Nemu was doing all she can, rather trying to be helpful to everyone, died of a heart attack.
And since there's no way for normal people to how it happened since the evidence can't be found, there's no way to sue the cause.

What Fav means these girls are not even normal humans anymore.
On top of that, after Nemu's death, this new update came along to make the situation worse.
Just what is Fav trying to pull?
Not just covering this incident as a heart attack of someone, but to make these girls lot of ruckus in the middle of the night that might make more casualties.

I wonder if trying to root those devices are even a good idea like any other smartphones?

The first episode was about Koyuki becoming a Magical Girl, Snow White or so she first thought that was just a rumor.
To think all these rumors people are whispering about Magical Girls are actually seems way more grand than it is.
The girls might have already ask Fav more than enough, but Fav's "miscalculation" is kind of feels so off for me.

It's definitely lazy writing - the writer had multiple decent ways to handle it and just went for a completely unnecessary ass-pull. It also missed a golden opportunity to ratchet things up a notch. I would have implemented the "stealing candies" update (or just had someone's activities interfered with), and only have the lose=death bit discovered later - most likely through an "OOC" relationship between a victim and another player. Two had already been established, and more could have been before it happened. And doing it that way gives the opportunity to have a thief who didn't intend to hurt anyone beat themselves up over becoming a murderer. There are just so many angles that could have been taken that were wasted.

My biggest gripe, however, is that with the way this was handled, an obvious issue arises: it's already been mentioned that the girls can kill each other, so what's the point of taking the candies at all when you can just attack and kill someone - you get the same basic effect. Now that we're at this point, there's only two ways to make the stealing part that pertinent: The first is actually have someone only steal a portion of someone else's candies to avoid killing them, or to actually use the sharing function in its benign form. Of course, going dark, I'd rather have someone beat an opponent, not care about stealing, end up with the lowest total . . . and still get bumped off because the dead player remained in the rankings (oh how I love technicalities).

Man this anime is carrying this season for me, aside from Keijo. It's better every week. Seems it's getting darker joe, more death game. Plucelle better not die lol, my favorite character. Didn't read the novels so we'll see. I think that the series is kinda covering up its plot holes now... now we know what happens if you quit. I still really want to know who made the game though, and why it is the way it is. Do I expect this all to be explained in a 9-episodes-remaining series? No, but I think it's good at the level it is right now and if it gets better, that's fine with me.

4/5

Top Speed is best character. Hands down.

And ah, of course the third ep is where shiz starts going downhill. Bring on the dark, edgy killing spree.


Also, I don't know if it's me but I feel like Ripple = Homura and Snow White = Madoka in some ways. Swim Swim is gonna turn on Ruler...I just know it.

Someone save Tama, she's too pure for this. Save her.


Also, RIP La Pucelle. Shouldn't have became Snow White's white knight

I will forget for a moment about the plot and see if this anime has good characterization and how it will handle the psychological side. Snow White not only needs to fight to survive, but also has the burden of needing to kill or let other people die.

Mirai Nikki had a totally hard theme,in graphic and story.

Maho works toward the contrast between a candid set and a (probably) dark development,like Madoka before It.
