Angry mob with torches going to burn some witches... Can't say I see that very often.

That's some fancy looking ice cream.

Also, does anyone know if this is an anime original or does it have some kind of source material?

Luna's daemonia form is pretty weird, and wow my favorite character loses her powers :( Seira is the only one too who fights with little hesitation. It must be tough for Akari to fight alone, I mean she used to be on a four people team, but she's still pretty powerful. I kind of want to blame her because it's kind of her fault that Seira got bitten, but it's one of those things...is it better to try to save someone who you don't know if you can save by risking people's lives or is it better to just stop it before it can get any worse?

When Akari got that cut on her arm I remembered that scene where her mom had the exact same cut.

It is in fact an original and the manga adaptation launched at about the same time*. The first chapter is up on Batoto and seems to go into greater depth than the show is able to in its limited 24 minutes per week. At least being an original property they won't be in the hole as bad due to the lackluster sales as they would have been with a licensed production. I think projected sales are something like 600-800 BD copies, well below the Manabi line (selling merch would certainly help the bottom line - I know I'd buy some Gen'ei inspired trinkets ... especially that beautiful tarot deck)

* The concept, character design and basic foundation has been around since Comiket 80 in early 2011 with the working title "Gen'ei no Messiah"/"Blood of Fortune", couldn't get anything published until this year though.

This is actually a pretty good episode, so much drama feels as well the action is good. Wow the angry mob just burned down their base and now, they are are on the run

However one flaw of this is sort of rushed when Akari became solo, and Seira now has to stand by in idle. Well that is my opinion, I hope these last two episodes will have a good ending.

Someone should made some new genre name for series like this. Something like "Dark Mahou Shoujo" or "Twisted Mahou Shoujo" or "Sayonara, Zetsubou Mahou Shoujo".

This episode was a bit rushed and it didn't really show the impact emotionally on the characters the events behind the scenes also don't really have a good explanation.
The enemy is after Akari and made several attempts to get her however it seems Akari was called at the right time to prevent her from being taken.

It's a bit strange that the organisation of the school didn't see that riot coming they should know when rumours start spreading.

Well aside from Luna's new costume and one of the first moe mobs I've seen...that was pretty much like the others in the series. Even ecchi fan service isn't going to rescue this one.

Damn good ep after a pretty long lull, the pacing in this show is kind of erratic but when it gets things right it's pretty fun viewing.

Cementary child turning out to be evil was the most contrived plot device I've seen this season, and the angry mob happened all too soon but I feel like the episode redeemed itself in other areas:

-The action scenes were highly entertaining

-The plot is finally evolving and we're learning more from the cat + crow

-I actually miss Ginka

and

-A particularly majestic OST that ccould carry pretty much any show despite its flaws. Not to mention that ED/OP as well.

I know that I had some strangely Fellowship of the Ring vibes in the beginning of the first episode, as far as music is concerned.

I got drawn to the show from watching Ep01 at a friends house several weeks back, and now, I have to say that it's one of my favorites for this season thus far. Although, I do worry a bit about how they intend to finish everything in a satisfactory way with the little time they have left.

As I predicted, it is grimmer and grimmer, and now the chaos and horror is city wide scale...
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.

She hadn't, but cerberum gave her a steroidsdaemonia shot which did wonders for her skinny figure (which her cloths can no longer contain) :3

It's annoying how Sephiro Fiore is always one to a few steps behind the enemy. I keep thinking "you only realized this now?!" ... and then I get even more annoyed at the know-it-all animal "messengers" who keep spouting off things that crank up the annoyance level even further. Somebody shoot the damn things already...!

If they weren't so pitifully few, maybe I'd love to see some kind of revolt or revolution against this Leguzario organization... or just have the remaining girls fight in a mutually destructive final battle to end this transpiring train wreck of a show that started going downhill after a promising middle part... might as well throw in a bad ending too just because it's trying too hard in all the wrong places.

/rant off

On a less negative note, I'd like to see whatever remains of their battered faction to switch to some kind of guerrilla-style fighting action now that the tables have almost turned completely against them. Cerebrum and his pals have more than enough opportunity to take power now and it would be... totally foolish if they don't end up pressing their massive advantage at the moment.

Also, they dare not kill off Seira now...

Good bye school. And goodbye research and stuff as well, I presume.

The entire town (or at least enough of it that it may as well be) in Cerebrum's thrall.

Is Akari taking them to her aunts' place? What's to say that they won't be targeted as well though?

Akari had a very close miss. Ironic that it was one of Cerebrum's plans working that foiled his other one.

Good to see Akari developed so much that she can fight Daemonia all by herself.

Another intense episode, I see all weak points of this show but I somehow like it.

Though I think Cerebrum powers, shapeshifting and overseeing everyone are simply OP, he can do nearly anything. If this was to be done right, he would only corrupt people hearts and leave doing bad things to people. He should simply give them power and leave them to do what they likes. This way he is one ultimate enemy they need to destroy.

Pretty intense episode. Akari is starting to break down. But good thing she didn't make that pinky-swear!

Seira lost her powers??? Geez.

Why is Luna not wearing a shirt or pants? o_o Even as a werewolf she should be wearing more than that.

Also the little girl's voice reminded me of Tama from the Wixoss series! I looked it up and they were the same person so that's kinda cool

And lol an angry mob destroying and burning down the fortune telling school arbitrarily? Justice!

So, Seira got bitten and she lost her powers?

Akari is fighting alone for now.

That crow is really annoying, if you know something just say it already. I hate when there's too much mystery, that makes the anime even more boring.

I agree with you. I always said that this was not a madoka ripoff, but they're very similar. Like, Luna gets turned into a Daemonia and Sayaka from PMMM becomes a witch and on both these anime, the other magical girls don't want to fight with them.

This show is just depressing and nothing much else. I'm sure they will make things even worse in the coming episodes.
