The freak out SHOULD NOT BE ABOUT


It should be about

I haven't read the manga but I think you're overreacting. It wasn't all about Miyu she realized that she's scared of dying and that it isn't fun and games. Take her words from the end of the episode.
Anyways, this was obligatory sad episode after the fallout. I felt it was kinda drawn out but succeeded in making me feel bad for Illya. I'm guessing next episode will be


In anime, Illya did her big blast wishing to protect everyone. Myuu then ridicules her for saving everyone's lives and Illya spends next episode sulking about it.

In manga



The first case points poor poor Illya depressed about loosing a friend.

The second case paints


That's the problem.

Okay, thanks for explaining and not yelling at me because I didn't read the manga. I just thought the way the anime did it was fine but after you explained it, I agree the way it happened in the manga was better.

You know looking at her like this makes me wish they just used Ilya's art form teh FSN anime.THe change is just TOO MUCH here.I know her looks dont make her char but come on...Shirou and Iri really look weird.

I just hope that they will fix it at least a bit in 2wei.That goes for other chars too.I just dont want to see Bazett look like this.

You do realize that if this series is successful they will keep the character designs (why change the formula when you are successful enough, look what happened to coca cola) and if the series is not successful chances are slim they will invest money in a second series (or another ova) and do a retooling of the character designs. Change in character designs are almost exclusive of series reboot/relanuch, like in Rozen Maiden.

Have you noticed while watching this series that the faces are good in some panels and in some dont look like they are chars from a Fate/ series?
That is the problem.
For most of the ep Iri was great(for this kind of char design) but in some she was like she was a different char.
IF they ever animate the rest they have to improve their designs.

That is a pretty common problem, we have already noticed how some scenes are fixed from the webcast to the tv broadcast, it is only natural to expect those flaws you mention to be solved in the disc release, nowadays many studios work on the clock, even if they are doing a highly popular series like Attack on Titan (which in theory means they are not understaffed). They might not fix later on the errors you mention, but people buying the discs will notice and it might hurt sales so they have an invested interest in delivering (even if late) the best product they can create.

Damn, Miyu is arrogant. I'm like 99% sure right now that the next episode will go something along the lines of:
1. Rin, Luvia and Miyu go to the mirror world
2. They get facerolled by dark Berserker
3. Illya becomes a magic girl again and fights
4. Something something and then they're all friends again

Well, that's what would happen if this was just another predictable scenario. If that doesn't happen...then it will probably be even better <3
LOL My thoughts exactly, I just didn't put it in words. Going to watch the next episode now and find out.

Also LOL at Sella and her sister.

Sellachan's the highlight of this ep!!!
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

Jeez, people really do take the manga way too seriously. If you're going to freak out like that, just stop watching anime and stick to reading manga. You know it's never going to be 100% the same.

Kinda a meh episode, especially after the fight with Saber. Is it some kinda requirement that the hero always has to lose his resolve and give up his/her life of fighting, only to return when their allies are getting their asses kicked due to not having Main Character Power on their side?

It was kinda nice to see Shirou and some of the other side characters again.

Hopefully the last two episodes will be better, and the fight with Berserker is one I've been looking forward to the whole series.

There's a HUGE difference between "some deviations" and "complete 180 degree change from what was supposed to happen, for absolutely no fucking reason".

Also yes, Type Moon fanbase takes their canon very seriously. That's why we have yet to have Tsukihime anime - no one in Japan is confident enough they could pull it off. That's also why only now we will be getting FSN adaptation.

Plot that sees a rather simple structure, it has never stood for originality, so I'm not complaining now, just because the episode seems like a filler.
I just told that it is quite good, for now there is this.
Not bad break with her girlfriends, Tattsun is hilarious.
Drawings and discrete animations.
Now comes the final battle! : D

The canon version is the other way around. Illya is the one who runs away and spends time avoiding/antagonizing them due to her fear of her own powers. Miyu risked her life and almost died protecting Luvia and Rin from Illya's nuke.

They just changed it in the anime adaptation for some inexplicable reason. Which in turn creates certain problems with understanding Illya's motivations in second season.

Fighting dangerous monsters that can kill you at any time is scary and shouldn't be done by little loli?

Hmm... it sure took them a while to figure that out. Still such conclusion shouldn't be reached in story like this... this entire storyline is a joke to laugh at and enjoy but too much seriousness and there is just unnecessary drama.

Tatsuko is a great artist, surrealism?

Illya will be depressed and then rush to aid her friends as usual. Not that I mind.

This lesson.. Of many characters from every culture, being hard to fit them in a good story.. Is it ironic meta humor on their own series, perhaps?..
So Miyu was living on streets before, hm..? Only I can't get, how she became genius she is, if she were.. Couldn't she live in some institution for homeless children, if she's really as smart as presented?.. You know, we're not living in Middle Ages, and Japan isn't an African country without these services, you know.. And Miyu doesn't seem to be involved in crime world, though, who knows.. It feels a bit inconsistent with her smartness and a bit unbelievable in general, but oh well, there can exist explanation, I guess..
Well, I don't like Rin's attitude, really.. Again just showing that it's whatever for her, not taking any responsibility whatsoever for involving Illya in crap, not apologizing whatsoever, not supporting whatsoever, if that's her stance, only stating that "it was fearful for you.. Well, it's alright.." Yep, I can't give any more chances at least for Rin.. I dislike her as a character.. I disliked more things she said, but why bitch about it really, no reason to do so..
Overall a good episode, though.. Doubts and drama, heavy and funny one with classmates..
