| I wonder how the blue haired girl will react when someone she loves turns into a Daemonia ^^ |
Tendou-kun said: I suspect that's already in Seira's history. In a prior episode there was a flash of a face, and there is a stuffed animal in her room she keeps looking at...I wonder how the blue haired girl will react when someone she loves turns into a Daemonia ^^ |

| I was finding Ginka's cheerful 'who care's if i'm killing people I get money!" attitude bothersome in early episode's so i'm glad that here they dealt with both her feeling's toward money, and her having to lose someone close to her because of her fighting and It's good that she's resolved to keep fighting despite that. I like her more now than I did earlier. Next episode looks like it will focus on Seira. Good. Her attitude is starting to grate on me. I expect that either she will finally explain to the other's why she feels the way she does about fighting . . . or she will turn on them completely and try to fight on her own at some point. 4/5. Enjoying this anime so far, but probably not one i'll rewatch in the future. |

| To be honest, I was expecting Ginka to not be able to kill Honda. I was wrong, and I'm glad I was wrong, I like how she was able to go through with killing him instead of trying to find a way to save him. The little bits of backstory that was shown made Honda's death a little more saddening too. Also... Did the whole Daemonia thing happen to Akari's father too? From the little bit and the flashback, that's what I can try to infer. |
| This is a decent episode, at least we get to see some of Ginka's past and her pain reaction on the Daemonia Honda. tbh I want the fight to last longer and Ginka struggles to reason with Honda. |
| I thought it was kinda weird that ginka was happy at the end after she just killed hondo, she could have been faking it tho. And who is that mystery guy who is always looking out the window of that high building giving orders to the daemonia |
 [/url] |
| This episode show more focus in Ginka development and i think she is more mature than other girls in team. She landed a kill blow to her uncle that become daemonia to let him rest in peace i think that was realy realistic and logically. but sometimes i found it's a bit creepy to see a little girl act so realistic and logically in that age of hers, but no prob this just anime after all so i dont bother it too much. And that hoodie guys is not a guys anymore but a gender shifter oh my god.. he has an adult woman form and loli form. i hope all her appreance from now on is loli form ahaha~ |
| This episode moves the anime up a notch in my view. It was well done, humorous, and revealed a good deal about several of the characters. I love the explanation that touching Akari will let the others hear the voices, it makes the final scene in the ED a lot more meaningful. Also, the yuri shipping of Sun and Moon is pretty clear here... |

| Ginka's dad is the greatest dad ever. I love seeing the two of them interact (flying retort scene was adorable as hell). |
| Nice episode. Just one thing: Can't we have the loli triplets back for the thing in the end? I don't care for these weird familiars at all. |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
vonPeterhof said: Edit: "somepony"? Goddamnit, Ciara, look what you made me do! ;) Ahahaha, those pesky ponies :D They really are everywhere! And I also think Seira already have someone dear to her dying as her personal drama. And probably the alpaka (am I remembering that one right?) plushie is a memento/gift from that person. But at this point I am more interested in Luna's story, Seira will probably be"I failed/Kill for the greater good because drama" type of character so I don't expect ground-breaking plot here. Luna though... they are building it up in an interesting way, so let's see what's in store for the Green Chick. |
| Glad there's someone smart enough to finish the job quickly and not waste it with trying to talk sense to the MOTW. Ginka made the right choice. Sure it may sound cruel, but if the person is as good as dead, then perhaps it's best to end his misery as soon as possible. |

| Guess next week they will have to fight the associates of Honda and Ginka's father since from the looks of it they also got infected. Don't know what Ginka was thinking at the end but she looked a but to bright guessing it will have effect in a latter stage of the anime. It's also a question what Luna is thinking from the looks of it something will happen to her. |
| Ginka focused episode. Aww she killed her uncle but she had too. Wondering if the others will get a own episode? |
| Good drama in this episode with Ginka's uncle. |
  |
| Too Monster of the Week-y so far. The episode did a good job at characterizing Ginka, her father and Honda, but that's all. Not a single twist, but I still have hope. It's also interesting the morality discussion about killing someone who can't be saved anymore. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's there. And the two villains seem to be very cliché, but let's see yet. |

Monde11 said: I like how Ginka just goes with the flow and accepts it all, it's better than it putting some melodrama in there. ^Yeah Not a bad episode, or I finally got used to this series a little more. |
 |
| I love how Akari can't even kill random people that she doesn't even know who turned into Daemonia because she's too busy trying to ~hear their voice~ and untransforming to do anything, yet Ginka is able to get the strength and will to put someone that she knew for almost her entire life out of their misery by killing them. Tl;dr Akari sucks, Ginka rocks. |

| money brings suffering, doesn't it? |

| I really don't understand why this show is getting such low ratings on MAL. I mean sure, it's not great and I can understand why people might not like Akari, but I do think it's one of the better anime I've watched so far this year. |

I guess that's not saying much since most of the anime that's come out this year are pretty mediocre. I'd say the low ratings come from 1) the people who already dropped + rated it (these ratings will disappear when it's done airing) 2) the people who see it as one big Madoka ripoff 3) the artstyle and ~edginess~ of the show. |
|
| That was alright. Not feeling attached to any of these characters. |

It's nothing genius, but every episode has been fairly enjoyable for me so far. Madoka is one of my favorite Animes and I see some similarities, but it should not get compared to it! |

| Great episode, Ginka dad sure is special...anyway they looked pretty great in dresses at that party. Also Cute little evil girl who is actually a dude or not ?! Quite the trial once again also as Ginka decided to hear her "uncle" but still evil deeds. |

I'd agree with that assessment. I thought 2012 was kinda disappointing and I'd say 2013 is even worse. The only really good anime I've watched so far this year (debuts only) are Shingeki no Kyojin, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S, and Chihayafuru 2...that's kind of a sad number considering I've watched 22 anime series so far this year (counting this season). |

It is extremely reminiscent of Madoka...but hell, why is that a bad thing? I'd rather watch a rip-off of Madoka than most of the schlock that's coming out nowadays. |

Yeah it really has the same feeling to it. I guess the hardcore fans of Madoka are just not giving the series a chance and dismiss it as a cheap rip-off and I think that being a mahou shoujo anime doesn't help its reputation either. |

| Ginka's uncle becoming the next victim of the week was rather predictable early in the episode, but her reaction after essentially mercy killing him wasn't as much. Extended drama and heroic BSOD averted. Granted, it's her father's best friend and not actually her father. One thing's for sure: she's a lot more decisive and collected than she appears to be. inb4 Luna develops Yandere tendencies after slowly becoming more jealous |
Metass said: After watching this episode, I think(just my speculation) the blue haired guy/girl real identity maybe this character: that or the bird or cat maybe but wont know until story pans out. Good ep feel sorry for Ginka with her dad not knowing anymore she has to suffer alone. |
 |
| I don't know... they don't even try to save him during that fight.. to oppose this neverending fight and try break his curse... this could be one of those breaking points when story could move on. This way we are getting the same fight situation again and again. And Ginka was way too genki towards the end - like she even doesn't mind her uncle died.. that scene just felt weird. I also don't like the way Cerebrum tampers with and controls the lives of others through his eyes - corrupting them on the way and making them Daemonia against their will (even though they are only desperate). It would be a lot better if he would only gave them a tool and it would be their choice whether to use it or not. That makes him villain they will have to fight in the end whereas in Madoka main villains were human greed, lust and other sins. |
Mich666 said: And Ginka was way too genki towards the end - like she even doesn't mind her uncle died.. that scene just felt weird. I think that's deliberate. Remember what she said at the end of the last episode... So it's confirmed that Cerebrum is deliberately targetting those close to the elemental tarot users, but won't take those who have the elemental tarot power in their blood. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Pretty decent development I must say! |
 |
| Honda-san ;_; |
| Nice episode~! I'm really glad that Ginka is alright, and not feeling depressed~ I'm thinking there's more from that shape shifting dude |
 |
| Pretty good episode. Ginka's dad is pretty cool if you ask me. |
| Wow, this show keeps getting darker and darker. Although so far it seems to have a monster of the day format, I think that the story will get deeper in the future because we still don't know too much about the guy with the alcohol, and we don't know a lot about all the character's pasts either. Anyway, Ginka's dad has quite the personality, and their relationship is kinda weird, but whatever! And from the part when Honda tried to hang himself and on was pretty creepy o_o Also, the beginning flashback with Ginka reminded me a lot of Hibiki's flashbacks in SYmphogear G. |

When she was fighting she was like "meh, let kill this pet"... Mich666 said: And Ginka was way too genki towards the end - like she even doesn't mind her uncle died.. that scene just felt weird. As someone pointed out, I think she was faking it (or trying to be happy). Her smile changed at the end of her talk. |
