I personally think Madoka was quite mediocre until the last 3 episodes.

Same here.

Still pretty good, will they kill a main character in the future though? hmm. 4/5.

Akari honestly pissed me off. I get she wants to save the people but she needs to understand those people have turned into murders and have killed innocent people. I know they got manipulated but still they wanted to kill and in the end they did. So I don't even know if they deserve saving. She also doesn't realize her sister tried to kill her, and she killed her out of self defense.

Narutaru meets D.Gray-man meets Madoka meets Persona 3.

Fixed this for you.

Also, from the pics from the site...

Fuyuna was The Empress
The arsonist The Emperor
The mantis thing had The Strength
The shit had The Hanged
The train was The Chariot
Painter girls was The Devil

(Better quality on the first ones would help a lot to confirm this, all RAWs and the one subbed version I checked were pretty bad when the card itself was shown in the first two episodes.)

With the numbers they are using the Golden Dawn deck since Justice was XI and the references to the Tree of Life just confirm it. No love for the classics and latin decks ;_; Damn Japan

Seira is right. IMO, her resolution makes much more sense.

Four episodes is enough for me to decide: I give up. I never really was a fan of the magical girl fighting genre.

TY for this I was trying to guess so hard which people were which arcana, (I thought for sure though that the mantis was chariot, but then again it makes complete sense for the train to be it) and like I mentioned before the monster of the week format makes complete sense here since each daemonia is a different Arcana (like persona 3)

Regular episode, I'm starting to get tired of this hypocrisy of Akari and all that freshness, worst character in the anime, Seira was soon to hit an arrow in his head.

The battle this time was weak, but at least the story of the girl who was possessed could please.

I hate to admit it, but I feel like it's just a Madoka rip-off. I guess Yuri undertones + gore + cute girls + drama isn't always the best combination. The concept's pretty good, but it's being horrible executed. The animation is just... awful. I hate the dialogues, that bitchy blue-haired girl, the teachers, and the antagonists. Basically, I hate everyone.

To sum it up: it's shit. Dropped.

To sum it up: you are a person who compares all dark ms shows with Madoka.

Woah, what happened to that boy- final destination status right there.

I believe the VA was Hayami Saori, LOVELY MY ANGEL AYASE-TAN, Ayase was probably upset that Kyousuke rejected her. Remember her words, "I really will kill you."?

Would it be a joke to say Seira is such a straight arrow character? Being KitaEri's character and the blue girl of the team, I'd love to love her but she's all business and no joy at all for now, at least until her backstory comes...

All this negativity is starting to remind me of Jigoku Shoujo a bit, and it's starting to get a bit formulaic too (despair victim of the week who ends up dead by our protagonists' hands); I really hope this show doesn't go down that path.

Is it just me or did that man with the alcohol sound a bit like that talking raven...? Hope that's not what I think it is.

Did anyone else think the voice actress of the girl that turned into a Daemon sounded familiar?

Sounded like Hanazawa Kana to me :O

I think the only thing keeping me going is the hope that the storytelling's gonna improve. And that OST.

I don't get why you guys are comparing it to Madoka. The main similarity I'm seeing between the two is the artstyle (meaning more of a cute style) and darkness of the storyline. Madoka was rather mediocre till the end of the third episode, where it spiked, then went back to being average. Currently, my main fault with this is that it's too damn rushed. Other than that, I find this to be better than Madoka.

Shut up.


"MADOKA WAS MEDIOCRE UNTIL EPISODE 3 THIS ONE CAUGHT MY INTEREST FROM THE START!!"

Yeah because it didn't actually take the time to ATTEMPT building up and introducing the characters before shoving into our faces "Hey look! We kill off our characters in disturbing manners!"

And Madoka is hardly the first anime to have disturbing manner deaths. Your point?

I feel like if I stop watching this I won't miss absolutely anything at all.
I'll keep going though, for Seira at least.

Just looking at those side by side pictures above this post.
Oh Shaft you and your visuals (I do have a soft spot for them), you come in here expecting one thing and it throws you for a loop.
While Genei looks so drab and essentially that is the feeling the show gives off- bland, gray, etc.

Did you really miss how SIMILAR these two deaths are? Did you? I know it's not the first to that, but look at how much this anime takes that death scene and pretty much replicates it.

Well, this is quite like Madoka but (three things):

- those fights are well animated and aiming for similiar graphic take but some effects those girls were using are not fitting its darker mood and trying to be cool instead (eg. those scattered coins, inflation or what this time etc.)
- Daemonia existence and backstory was explained but it somehow felt pretty cheap, like it wasn't thought out well. Logic isn't so strong there.
- many plotholes & story inconsistency: f.e. how could main heroine find Fuunya's diary when world was reconstructed? And so on.

Other than that, atmosphere is there. I like the way they introduced those supporting characters and their backstory. Some people even died. This episode was satisfying and felt like it took most of its inspiration in Faust - first there is great gain but in the end your life will be taken by devil.

OMG MADOKA RIPOFF SO BAD

Yeah, this show is definitely like Madoka, especially this episode (it reminded me of the witch battles). But I don't hate the show for being like Madoka.

Anyway, this episode was pretty dark. Lots of people were killed, and this new boy is pretty scetchy. It also looks like we got a glimpse of who was special to Seira.

So far this show isn't amazing, but it's not bad either.

I find Akari kind of annoying and I don't care for her wanting to save the Daemonia. I'm on Seira's side - kill em all!

There is a lot of similarities to Madoka, but I wouldn't call it a ripoff. Although that Mami scene was awfully similar, almost like they were doing a parody/reference. I mean I find it hard to believe that they would agree to copy that scene and think noone would notice.
