I haven't played the game so I wouldn't know. It sounds similar to Madoka, but I'm hoping it'll be better?

I played the game back when it came out, and yeah, it's a magical girl story. Not like Madoka tho, more like your typical magical girl anime. I liked it, so i'm interested in how the adaptation will be, as it pretty much played like a 12-episode anime lol.

The original Blue Reflection game is a magical girl RPG and the PVs for this new anime showcase transformation scenes... so yes, this will be another magical girl anime. Never played the original game and it doesn't seem like it'll be a traditional shoujo magical girl story (sadly), but it's still been a while since a new magical girl anime that isn't related to an existing anime was announced, so I'm somewhat excited and might consider checking this out.

Yeah, seems like it's "another" magical girl anime.

And it's good because there are so many Madoka-wannabe shows in the last decade that sometimes you just want to watch a simple mahou shoujo about cute girls saving the world without suffering and "deconstruction", lol

If by mahou shoujo you mean Sailor Moon, Madoka or Sakura, then it can hardly be called that.

It's based on console game which means it will be bad like most of adaptations of games.

Blue Reflection I say leans more towards traditional Magical Girl but it could have some overlap with some Madoka-esque themes. It's not super dark or gritty but the game did have it's dramatic points. Hinako was depressed because she couldn't dance, other characters had their inner conflicts they had to battle. You could also help other NPCs deal with their issues. If the anime is anything like the game, it won't be a gritty deconstruction but it will probably be dramatic in places and light hearted in other places.

This isn't directly based on the game's story, this is an all new story.

Are there any queer characters? Or relationships? The pv seems kinda gay and comparing it to sailor moon which literally has a queer protag, so just asking

No and it shouldn't even be a requirement if you ask me if the characters are queer or not.

So if I expect massacre this is not THAT kind of magical girl story if I understand that right.

Too bad because the cover makes it look like there would be tons of good action.

My question is how did you even type that message when you're so blind? Just look at the cover image for the show and you can immediately tell.

Oh actually the cover image got updated after I created the forum post. If you click on ‘Pictures’ you’ll see what the old one looks like. The synopsis was also a little less obvious as well. Also don’t be mean 🥺

Well, when you have 6 staff members working on an anime instead of 3, there's no surprise really


Also, if BRR > Gokushufudou && BRR > Utena, does that mean Gokushufudou == Utena o_O

at least I have enough sense of humor to understand that kaguya-sama isn't funny and never will be, no matter how many different universes Okabe, Homura, and Subaru will create together

Exactly. Gokushufudou has no animation but at least it doesn't reuse frames as Utena does.
All of its frames is 100% unique and carefully redrawn from manga panels :D

It is not like the typical magical girl anime, it also has a very bitter sweet ending.


Luckily my statement does not make sense, before you played the game to the final arc.

BTW: Yuzu is beyond the level of all characters. She can easily one-shot any part of any enemy. Just keeping her alive (heal her during the fights) and she will handle all fights by herself.

Also this game is almost killing the normal PS4. The cooling runs at full speed, the battles will run into slight laggs. The game graphics are almost too much to handle for the PS4
