Dat rivalry!

Well hello, new transfer student. I kinda saw this coming though.
Dem magic explanations.

Oh and I also found their teacher kinda amusing to watch. Lol/5.

Enter Miyu Edelfelt. She's not Luvia's relative though.

That part with Ruby and Sapphire explaining was just oozing with TM exposition and terminologies. From Odo to Heroic Spirits to Noble Phantasms. Loved it.

They padded out the scenes a bit here and had it end to the end of chapter 3 exactly but it was done well. It served that Miyu is a character to watch out in this show given how she's shown as the perfect student but is a real loner and takes this mission seriously.
Just that they're giving those 4 classmates too many screentimes. They don't get that prominent until 2wei. Oh well, more for the lolicons and more fuel for people to drop this.

Great episode. Looking forward to the next one as the next fight is pretty good.

I actually like that they focus more on them. When they actually became somewhat relevant in the manga I had the whole "who the hell are those characters" reaction.

That's Taiga for you xD.
Damn.It has been a while since i had to calculate the volume of an object with an integral.

Just like Taiga, i was like "what the fuck is that formula?"

Why does it have to be original? We can enjoy a pure magical girl series once and a while.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Well.. maybe unoriginal isn't the right word. Bland seems to fit better. I mean, I watch/enjoy a lot of mahou shoujo that aren't original in almost every aspect, but they always have a little spice to them, y'know? This just feels very.. bland, in my opinion of course. I still enjoy it, but it's missing something.

Great episode i guess? i mean the episode is nothing but an introduction for Miyu

But i wonder why they having such a slow pace when there are more things to cover later on. Not sure how they will fit everything else in 7 episodes and 4 cards left to capture. That means they are going to shorten other parts....

They are only covering the first season of manga with this season, with possibility of Kuro cliffhanger at the end.

I doubt they would do a Kuro cliffhanger. If they did i wonder how they would even start the second season if they decide to make one. Not sure if they would try to make a second season will all the cute and graphic



The problem i had with this episode is that they spent 1 episode just introducing Miyu. Well maybe its good to start off slow and go faster bit by bit. I thought this episode was kinda boring and the only interesting part was at the end when Miyu asks why she is collecting cards.

The competition between Rin and Luvia is hilarious no matter how often i see it.
And now some competition between Miyu and Ilya mainly at school, tho the one most annoyed by it was Taiga who didn't seem to understand it herself.

Either anime original scene or after-credits teaser flashforward to that character's first appearance, with the S2 starting the same way Zwei does and showing us how we get there. Quite a perfect seuqel-hook.

Calculating the volume of a cone from first principles. She was doing it 5 years earlier than I did LOL And 6.09 seconds for 50m?! Not a chance can Illya beat her -- though I wish they at least showed that Illya is already almost super-human when it comes to running before showing this race.
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.

Nice episode. Luvia getting kick in the face was hilarious.

"A mysterious transfer student appears, huh"
"You see this a lot in magical girls series"

I like how they broke the 4th wall there.

Sapphire's voice sounds familiar, I research a bit and that its the same VA
who voiced Kuuko from Haiyore Nyaruko series.

Taiga is damn funny. Miyu is rather interesting. I kinda like her magical clothing for some perverted reason. *ahem*

Anyway...episode number is a bit confusing. MAL says its 10 episodes while ANN its 12 episodes. Hoping it'll be 12. Because 10 is too damn short!

ANN always sets it to 12 episodes by default when they don't know the exact episode count yet.
And it's already known that there will be 5 BD volumes with 2 episodes each, for a total of 10 episodes. It's actually enough as it will only cover the first series that has 13 chapters + 1 epilogue.
Just hope for a second season.

That's one of the upsides of having the lead character be anime otaku. Illya is the type of character who most likely has seen the entirety of CCS, Nanoha and Madoka and most likely spent whole time Madoka was airing posting speculations about it.

This is to extent hilarious


And it would technically be Homura 0.5, since this was released before Madoka.

Not always. Quite often they copied the math from some textbook and so the calculation is usually correct (unless they copied it wrong lol). Made-up math only occurs when it is about made-up science. Anyway, as I said earlier in this thread, I love to see the volume of a cone to be derived from first principles LOL

That's still impressive.

The show staff did not assume its viewers are dumb "and won't understand it anyway" and they made sure it makes some sense instead of writing random stuff. At first it seems to be such a small stuff, but it actually shows that the staff does not hold the viewers for fools, which is more than refreshing, considering the stupidity one can find.

This series is a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I will say this though I'm really not liking Miyu and this is coming from someone who usually really like this archetype with one of my favorite characters Homura being one of them.
She just seems really boring and bland, instead of mysterious and cool.

To be true to myself I learned integrals and more than that. But I forgot it even tho' it was 1 and a half year ago since I last did anything math related on that level.
