| It started out pretty decent but near the ending this anime took a wrong curve and suddenly rushing to make up lost time or something like that. As a result the anime turned out a bit average. The ending itself was reasonable but in same ways predictable, then again most of the anime was a bit predictable. |

Seira is such a tsundere cliche character Ginka looks like a 5 year old girl to me, lolicons love her. Of coarse the characters aren`t whiny, all of them have stupid flaws. |

Are you saying it's Akari's fault that Cerebrum wanted to rape her? If so then you ARE, in fact, a fucking idiot. |
| Seira isn't even remotely tsundere. And Cerebrum is the one trying to mate with Akari, not the other way around And yes, on a physical level (and mentally as well, for that matter) Luna is the weakest of the four. That doesn't make her useless, though. Like I said, her strength lay in her healing abilities - which NONE of the other characters have. |

| Nope i`m not an idiot, i have autism, just kinda confused. i hate flaming people because it is a big waste of time, just please forget it. I like this anime only a little, because of the OP and ED theme song, cool fights, and Cerebrum as a great villain. (there are too many likable anime villains this season though.) now i better log out and sleep. |

| I need the OST during the light attack of Etia & Ariel |
| I thought it was an ending that fit well with the rest of the series (same pace, same feel). As a bad guy, Cerebrum should have known that once you go monster-mode you lose. |
  |
| I was gonna give this a 3, but this episode dropped it to a 2, Deus ex Machinas everywhere. Easily one of the worst shows I've ever watched. |
 |
| I was a bit disappointed at first when I didn't see the chaptering for the OP, but when it started playing in the background...nothing say "It's time to kick ass!" than the OP playing during the climax. +1 point to the show. The ending episode was nice, not everything was explained, leaving room for a possible sequel (too bad the show won't sell enough for one), but the story for now is complete. 4/5. I liked the series, it wasn't really good, but I enjoyed the characters designs, both main characters and Daemonia, the music (best ED of the season), and the visuals in general. Sure, the story was relatively weak, but anime as a whole isn't churning out intricate storylines with fully developed characters so to speak. 6/10. |
| Series started off good, but went downhill pretty quickly. This anime has no substance, but was enjoyable enough to finish watching, at least. 5/10 overall |
| Not a bad ending (like some other endings of series I completed today). I didn't really care a lot for the series, but it wasn't bad. Perfect medium, I guess, relative to other series this season. |
 |
| they played it safe with a happy ending |
 |
| Plot (1/2) - the main plot itself seemed okay, but it was largely downplayed by other factors like the pacing, the bad drama scenes (like 90% of anime), stuff that wasn't explained at all... and the monster of the week format from the beginning didn't work well with such a short series. Characters (0.75/1) - The main characters have grown on me while watching the show, there were time they were annoying but it wasn't hard to like them by the end. They could be a bit more better developed but the anime also focused on the side characters introduced every new chapter, which took from the time that could be used to develop the main cast and the other support characters that appeared every single episode instead. At least they were characterized well relating to their Tarot arcana. Again, the short duration hindered what could've been better. Art (0.5/1) - The art concepts are beautiful, specially the stylized character design and Daemonia designs that are linked to Tarot and parts of the victim life. But the show obviously suffers from a low budget, the animation is choppy at many times, tons of stock footage being used almost every episode, static scenes, and some other art mistakes that I hope will probably be fixed in the BD version. (not that I am watching this again) Sound (1/1) - Not much to say here, the songs were the strongest aspect of this show, the VA's did their best while reading the shitty dialogue given to them. All the cash went here, apparently. Enjoyment (3/5) - The main reason I've picked this to watch was the theme related to Tarot and this aspect was quite enjoyable throughout the show, you could see the cards, relate their meanings to the characters being show, specially the Daemonia created by the black cards. Enjoying the plot wasn't that hard since I didn't expect much from this show from the beginning, so it was a quite good watch since every single week there was some new art concept or plot point that was interesting (at least for me) that kept me interested in knowing how this would end, but the last 4 episodes were where this show actually shined compared to the slow beginning with very little story related to the main plot. 6/10 - Had strong points but the overall result didn't make them shine enough. |
| Happy Ending for everyone. I hope Akari can find a way to save someone who has turned to a Daemonia. Yay their mansion being rebuilt. Dat poem from Fuyumi TwT. |
| Good ending. The fight in this episode was good 7/10 |
| What Akari went through in that perpetual sand timer is really a living hell - you got to relive the same nightmare, the day you have avoided all your life, again again and again. I consider it a bit of weird development that even though the reliving seems to be artificial, people's behavior inside actually changed after some iterations. And I really don't get what Akari did in order to get Fuyuna to start talking to her in an amicable and frank manner. It seems a bit of a cop-out here. What I kind of like though is at the end we can see as much as everyone can try very hard, at the end there are things that are out of their control. And without the organization giving them the key, Akari could not have been saved even though she managed to break the perpetual loop that was imposed upon her. I think this is one key message of the series, which echoes with the final dialogues that Akari and the girls said when they faced Cerebrum in power-up mode: There are destiny that people get stuck to but it is also up to the person to face it and make choices of how to deal with it. And although at first I did not quite understand (and so found it hard to accept) why Akari would care about listening to Daemonia's words before killing it. But here after seeing how she talked it out with Fuyuna and then killed her, I finally understand that it is one key theme of this anime after all. And I also like how it refuses to boil down the whole matter into right vs wrong and good vs evil. Daemonia manages to thrive in humanity because human can be flawed and harbor negative emotion, and an all-too-positive Akari (which is in fact a common trait of main characters in manga/anime) may not even be thought as that likable to many people after all, and the main thing is not to reject either, but to see how to take in each other without being overwhelmed by either side. At the end as much as I found myself not enjoying the series as much as I should in most of the series, I can sympathize with it and I would like it credit for putting solid effort into telling a story and realizing the world in animation. The message took time to develop but I think it came out loud and clear and convincing at the end. It is a shame that the theme, how the story was laid out, and the character design do not fit the taste of the general fandom in Japan but I won't blame too much on the anime itself; it is more a taste thing, and the same cannot be said for a number of shows this season that got poor sales and low popularity. |

I consider it a bit of weird development that even though the reliving seems to be artificial, people's behavior inside actually changed after some iterations With each iteration, Akari herself would change, either from some new revelation or simply as a direct result of reliving the nightmare. And of course she had experienced quite a lot, and changed a fair bit too (perhaps most importantly getting her ability to understand the words of Fuyuna as a daemonia), since the day had first happened as well. Of course, if Akari changes, then the way others would react to her or think of her would also change. |

kuuderes_shadow said: The problem is we never really see what Akari did differently to get to the point where Fuyuna became so much more open with Akari. The last real different (and really not so different) action Akari took before the last loop was Akari tried to speak to Fuyuna and held back because she remembered Fuyuna's complaint that she always intrudes upon others' inner feeling. But this really did not mean much because back in the past she never spoke to Fuyuna after the grave visit anyway. So the question remains: What did Akari do differently over the iterations so much so that Fuyuna changed her behavior towards Akari on that day? With each iteration, Akari herself would change, either from some new revelation or simply as a direct result of reliving the nightmare. And of course she had experienced quite a lot, and changed a fair bit too (perhaps most importantly getting her ability to understand the words of Fuyuna as a daemonia), since the day had first happened as well. Of course, if Akari changes, then the way others would react to her or think of her would also change. And even after that, there is what AiCon said above: If the world that Akari get stuck is not a real time loop (that she did not really go back in the past to interact with the real Fuyuna) then the development indeed looks like a cop-out. On the other hand, unlike AiCon I do not see the world as created by Cerebrum. This is a world clearly enabled by the device Cerebrum stole from the organization, not created by Cerebrum himself. The question is more whether the world is an objective reality created by device or if it is a subjective world created by Akari herself under the influence of the device. I can see some key difference between the two interpretations even though both mean Akari is not interacting with a real Fuyuna. In the former, the device acts like an AI interacting with her. In the latter, she creates a Fuyuna by herself and tries to solve this "Fuyuna issue" by herself. In the latter case, Akari may still learn valid lesson from the experience but it is hard to conclude that what Akari heard from Fuyuna at the end is really what Fuyuna has in mind, so she is just reaching a more "positive" conclusion by her rethinking things, while the former the device may actually recreate the Fuyuna with data from the real past and acted as if the real Fuyuna also learning as she went through the loops. It would be fair to say that in this case to a very large extent Akari learned how to interact with Fuyuna and dealt with how she turned into Fuyuna with an experience of engaging with a Fuyuna who is as close to the real world Fuyuna as possible. |

AiCon said: Actually I am on the opposite thought. I don't think Cerebrum actually has much control over what Akari sees and goes through. The only exception is perhaps he can control when the looping ends and he has the ability to appear within the world Akari is in. symbv said: The loop was created by the device, but it's pretty clear that Cerebrum had a lot of control over much of what went on in that loop - so it would be wrong to think that Cerebrum had no part in what went on in that loop.On the other hand, unlike AiCon I do not see the world as created by Cerebrum. This is a world clearly enabled by the device Cerebrum stole from the organization, not created by Cerebrum himself. AiCon said: I actually would prefer to see the world as being contained in the device itself. Otherwise we are talking about externality created by the device on creating multiple real worlds that affect not only Akari and her family but everyone else (a la Madoka). Of course we can also argue the concept of infinitely branching worlds all co-existing together and Akari was sent to one of those to see if she could change that "past" but that would leave the question of what happened to the Akari who already existed in that alternative world, which is a question that anime which uses the same approach (like Monogatari) does not need to face.symbv said: It could also be that Akari really did go back in time and suffer through an endless time loop. We'd probably will never know what really went on, but given how different dimensions play a huge role in the show, I think that it's also a good possibility that the device might have made Akari repeat the same day in different alternate dimensions.The question is more whether the world is an objective reality created by device or if it is a subjective world created by Akari herself under the influence of the device. I can see some key difference between the two interpretations even though both mean Akari is not interacting with a real Fuyuna. In the former, the device acts like an AI interacting with her. |

| 5/10, it had potential and too rushed. The OST were mostly good, like the OP that was fucking amazing. Anyway, not worth my time. |
 |
| Pretty decent ending I must say a quite nice end fight and the buildup towards this fight was decent as well, the whole series was pretty decent but it did lack a couple of points which was sad as the series itself had some potential. Either way a pretty okey series. |
 |
| Nice finale and resolution I guess, it left me with pleasant feeling, they did good job. There are some plot holes and inconsitencies (Akari destroyed Cerebrum's sun card, right, she should have disappeared or merged with him) but it was enjoyable in the end and I am ok with that, definitely above the average anime. Watch this without deep thinking and you should have fun. 6/10 RLinksoul said: Also, the politician that Cerebrum was working for, and the nature of their dealings together was never explained. Not everything needs to be explained, you know. Because the voice of the organization leader and the politician was the same ;) And what his motivation was - I already wrote it few eps back - but he managed to manipulate everything from behind, he was like overseer of this war with contact to both sides and he was taking advantage of that. I guess that eternal conflict between those two sides only made them more prominent and they never wanted it to end. My thoughts are this organization was there for ages, their leaders always having some influence over human society. |
| So we got to see the teacher's power and Akari stood up to fight Cerberum which is her counterpart. The ending was kind of expected but still it wasn't that bad, for sure i would have liked to see more Elemental user but i guess no. |
 |
| Nothing special.. predictable.. but definitely not a waste of time. That's a decent ending compare to many others.. hopefully a season 2 can be expected. That last insert song was AWESOME.. no complains. |
| Another nice portion of Mahou Shoujo! I came here with low expections but I enjoyed it to it fullest! I dont understand comparing to Madoka, it wasnt similar at all. Show ofc had it flaws but all that shit were covered with cute-art <3 (It's one thing Madoka cant bet xD). OP and ED were excellent Overall Im somewhere between 6-7/10 for this show. |
 |
| So much potential. So little of it realized. And just no to the people comparing this to Madoka. This show has as much in common with Madoka as K-ON has with Attack of the Titans. |
 |
| This was a awesome episode and it had a happy ending at the end and i`m glad that Cerebrum die`d cause i`b been hating him from start to last... Well anyways this Anime deserves a season 2... 9/10 for me... |
 |
| To be honest I was expecting this anime to be a big let down which is why it took so long to finally finish it however I also had so many other anime to watch but I finally decided whatever I will watch it get it over with I will be honest I have not seen Madoka n I dont have any desire to either for a time there I did but in the end it really wasnt enough to really want to Magical Girl anime is suppose to be about hope and light yes once in awhile hero's get hurt but still I love Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha all of it n Cardcaptors but even though there was sad stuff that happened in this anime I did still enjoy it nonetheless would I watch it again maybe n a year or 2 or whenever my fiance is ready to watch it. |
 |
| I'm still waiting for the 2nd season lol |
 » Escapism. |
| 5/10 i wonder if there will be a second season i wonder! |
| Damn it. They didn't explain why Ginka returned. I hatei t whe they don't explain things. Pretty good. It wasn't a total waste of time. I enjoyed it. |
| Copy of Madoka more or less. It was interesting at the beginning but I got bored last episodes. So 6/10 |
 |
| So the ending battle wasn't bad. They all lived happily ever after! (which I liked because, well, I like it when dark stuff ends happily. Dark stuff ending with despair is just depressing :p) I really like the ending quote! "Even if the sun is hidden by a lone cloud, a single beam of light can chase away the darkness. That is the Sun's smile." Nano1124 said: Damn it. They didn't explain why Ginka returned. I hatei t whe they don't explain things. Pretty good. It wasn't a total waste of time. I enjoyed it. My understanding of it was that Ginka was able to defeat her corresponding Diablos Tarot without dying herself and thus, she was freed from that alternate dimension. Not sure if that's what the producers were going for, though!! Overall, I'd give this series a 7 or 8/10. It wasn't anything amazing, but I still enjoyed it. Despite some plot holes, I was pretty entertained. The music was good, and (at least some of) the characters got good development (especially Seira!). I think this show is underrated, though. Yeah, it's very similar to Madoka, but I don't really have a problem with that. But then again, everyone is entitled to their own opinions (BUT IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME, YOUR OPINION IS STUPID!!!!! jk :p) On a side note, does Priscilla in her Magical Girl outfit remind anyone else of NiGHTS? Must be those jester "horns" or whatever they're called. |

| Show kind of sucked. LiSA OP was the best part of the show. But the story seemed like it needed continuation, so I would probably watch a S2. Totally forgot I even watched this show when it aired. |
| Dead characters should stay dead but other than that it was pretty good. Truly being meguca is suffering. |
| Wow... this show is really underrated - haters... always tainting the anime/manga world... =/ I think that Cerebrum might be Akari's father. 9/10, for sure. |

| Decent ending. The show is far from flawless, epsically in terms of the story. I like the characters and the visuals,which matters quite a bit for me. The show would be better if episode 14 was the first episode, since Fuyuna was way too less screentime before she dies otherwise. |
| Well I enjoyed it somewhat. It was damn weird, full of holes... it probably has more holes than actual content, failed to deliver darkness ... the art was one of the major problems for the lack of darkness - looks more like a slice of life filled with sketches , for some reason I think that the main antagonist was actually Leguzario, anime ended with gajilion questions and lots of miracles. Keep the dead dead pls... It definitely could've been way better if it was actually a Madoka copy... buuuuut it's wrong to compare two animes just because of some similarities. The quality was just low. Either way I gave it an 8/10 just because I enjoyed most of the content without thinking too much about its problems xD Having a wolf-girl gave a bonus of +2, tehe ;p |
