Social media can be dangerous especially with strange new Apps. I think these girls needs to be careful especially with their feelings.

Reflectors like them should try to control their feelings at all times.

I really like this show a lot with the shojo and mahou shojo aesthetics, but man the plot loses me sometimes. I’m still confused on Yuki and Nina and the other girls. I’m unsure what the overall plot is pushing us towards as well. Luckily, for me, that’s not how I judge anime, it’s fun so I’m enjoying it, but I wish the story were clearer.

Another tongue in-cheek situation of girls getting caught up socially through digital apps, that's a perfect target for evil Reflectors (a.k.a Niina) to tamper with their emotions and feelings.

Hiori and Ruka looked good together, no doubt that the memory Resonation worked wonders for each other being Reflector partners. Same with Momo and Miyako.

To get the shut-in girl Yukiko to acknowledge her connections with the outside world, that's a real task for the similarly convened Miyako. And there it is, another girl saved out of her troubles.

Masochist Uta...there's only one person by that name who can be the root cause: Niina (or by her online handle Utaan).

Wow, so the antagonist's goal is to reach to the Common, interesting. Who played the Blue Reflection first game already knows some about it.

Yep. Be careful in social media.

Decent episode, I guess. No fighting this time.

It seems the plot is actually taking flight now.

I wonder how often that actually happens, for someone to randomly walk into another person, stab them and walk away. Of course we can assume it was a crazy and antisocial guy who did it, but kinda weird nonetheless.

The thing with two Yukis left me a bit confused, but I got it now after reading this thread.
Apparently Nina, disguised as Utachan94378 (or Masochist Uta), played one of them and actually stole people's feelings/Fragments (and we just learned she does so because of lacking emotions herself) through a sketchy app. The other harmless girl, Yukiko, however, was just an impostor that pretended to be her in order to connect with other people. Cool. Didn't see that coming.

damn people can be so fucking mean on the internet, in my language we have this saying that someone's "a pussy in real life but badass on the internet" and it's so true

True, that's an unexpected development that raises several questions about the current Reflectors, because unless I'm misremembering things

Miyako is a good therapist. She actually caused Yukiko stress to go away, and so she's not a target anymore.

Blue Reflection Ray review. A fascinating show. The surface story is a well designed and plotted magical girl show where the protagonists try to protect other girls' negative feelings from being "consumed" by the antagonists for their own use.

But the show subverts anime tropes to create a sense of foreboding, and way the show plays with the characters' perception of reality makes the viewer question everything they see. The theme of hundreds of girls and women living with social anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome and other mental health problems is a dark commentary on the mores and structures in modern society.

An excellent Anime that is worth bing watching. It has 24 Episodes. + 24 OVA Mini Chibi Episodes all worth watching.

Storyline: 9/10
Art style: 10/10
Music: 9/10
Fight scenes: 9/10
Overall Enjoyment: 9/10

This is one of the best Magical Girl Anime and Video games I have ever watched and played. Some of the characters in the franchise. Hiori Hirahara, Mio Hirahara, Yuzu & Lime Shijō Yuzuki, Shijō Raimu, Ruka Hanari, Shino Mizusaki, Uta Kamogawa, Nina Yamada, Saiki Yuri, Yukiko Takaoka. Gust Koei Tecmo DMM Pictures Games and Anime. Reflector battles.Blue Reflection Ray is a really good Anime. You should watch it if you haven't yet. The music is beautiful, characters are lovable, gameplay is really good. Also the storyline is very enjoyable. I recommend em to everyone who is either into Anime. Or just wants a fun Magical Girl Anime to watch. The transformations are similar to Sailor Moon and Madoka Magica in a way. Some of the art style reminds me of Yuki Yuna is a Hero. Like the color schemes in some scenarios. Ruka Hanari looks similar to Sailor Mars Rei Heino in a way. This has one of the best Anime OST BGM soundtracks I have ever heard hands down. If you have not played Blue Reflection, Tie/Second or even watched the Blue Reflection Ray Anime. Than your missing out. This series is quite enjoyable and lovable. Blue Reflection Ray that takes place between the first and second game that is a must watch. Really enjoyed it a lot. Blue Reflection Sword other the girl who dances in illusions. Blue Reflection Tie.

I love Mel Kishida's art style. It's very pretty. The Anime as a whole is perfect. It may not be the cream of the crop, but it's still really fun. And really enjoyable.
