Man, just when Alice started to grow on me, they kill her like that. Her death was probably the saddest of the series for the moment. Oh, well, at least the other twin died like a fucking bitch, like she deserved. They were obnoxious even in their human lifes, good fucking riddance.

And, Fav and Cranberry are basically corrupt politicians... Heh.

The way Swim Swim killed Alice was so cheap. Her death was anti-climatic imo.


That's the whole point BlackstarFallen. because her regenerative powers are so good, cheap-shoting her is the only way to win against her.

Hmm didn't expect Alice to die. The way was pretty obvious but I expected that to happen at a later time if at all. And I don't like it... I was hoping they could for some reason start using their abilities without being in their changed form. But sadly that didn't happen for anyone except Snow White >.>

Cranberry's kill was quite ridiculous though. I didn't think she'd go for the one-hit kill xD So sudden. Now only Swim Swim has to die and I can watch this end without regrets. I hope Tama survives this ordeal but I get the feeling Swim Swim is going to use her as bait.

Snow White and Ripple are the only good characters left right now (maybe Tama if she stops being such a stupid lackey). I hope everyone else dies. They deserve it. Including that fake Kyubey.

I wasn't expecting this, but Alice death really hit me. Was it because of her past? I really don't know.

The most interesting part was the conversation between Cranberry and Fav. It was obvious since the deathmatch started that it was the way to pick the best magical girl. Now we know a bit more about it.

I still wonder which iteration of magical girl raising project it is. There was at least one more, as shown at the beginning of first episode, but was it the first one? Or were there some other we do not know about?

Alice died the only way she could've. Sad for her loss, but at least there's Ripple.

Still though, considering that Tama's still around even though by all accounts she's useless should say something. (To be fair, she is friends (IIRC) with Swim Swim (and Ruler before that), so that could be a reason she's lasted so long)

FA-B is an IA mascot. It calls Clamberry "master' which means that Clamberry is the higher ranked here, not FA-B. So not like a politician of the magical world at all. Also, he doesn't really have a skin :p

No, that's the Lucky Rabbit foot effect.


She got the item back after finding dying Alice. And, as far I understood, that item is one-time use. In other words, her powers have nothing to do with that.

It's not one time use. It give you a good luck when you need it.
Unfortunately, it is completely random.

They should have shown the Rabbit Foot glow or something.

Yeah, fuck that anime. I already read what would happen and still got mad after watching this episode.

Nobody would have learnt her indentity when there were so many people with umbrellas and Swim Swim in the middle of the crowd should have drawn more attention anyway. That's also contradicting with the rule that normal people can't remember meeting magical girls lol. Seriously, Swim Swim is one of the shittiest and most obnoxious characters I've seen in anime..

The angels are as annoying in human form too. At least they died, but then again the new death had 0 impact.

That Magical World stuff doesn't make much sense either.
Too much shock value, too little logic. Although, I gotta give points to the author for the trolling I guess.

Fuck Swim Swim!


That's not the problem though. Swimswim can run through the crowd because while transformed, there's a passive effect leaving peoples having only blurry memory of seeing you. But that's not active when you're human, and that's why it's against the rules to let a normal human see yo utransforming, because in such case the person will clearly remember the human form and the transformation, only not remember clearly what happened afterwards. So someone transforming in front of another person will not be remembered as some kind of dreamy encounter or as a urban legend, she will be clearly leaking the existence of magical girl to the public.
Alice could still have tried to crouch quickly inside her umbrella , transform and run away while hiding herself with the umbrella, for example.

It's easy to say though, but she's a 13 years old girl in panic that had around 1 or 2 sec to decide before being attacked, and we're adults quietly sitting on our chair without any concern of dying, and all the time in the world to say "I would have done that".

Swimswim isn't likeable but that doesn't makes her especially a bad character you know. Although I wouldn't say she's anything great, she perfectly does her role as a villain here.

The twins angels are probably among the magical girl closest of being completely insignificant in the whole plot, so yeah, that's normal. They're barely above a random no-name character being killed by a random bullet in the whole story. No point in complaining her death has no impact in those conditions, it's not made to have any. No one liked them either, pretty sure almost anyone rejoiced seeing those two die.

The magical land stuff makes perfect sense. That story may not be the best out there, but it's keeping it logical and makes sense, no problem on that front.
Also, there is no asspull coming in. Once again, you're probably misunderstanding or taking things backward.

GUYS listen.. you don't understand.
if Swim Swim dies, it is bullshit, also, it is obvious Ripple somehow will kill her cuz of all the "poetic justice" thing, to have her revenge, because she is "the good magical girl", etc.
Unless someone somehow learns her identity, killing her is bullshit, because of her ability.
And obviously, Snow White should have been the first one to get killed, cuz she is so weak and useless.
And DON'T give me that "she is what Magical girls are supposed to be!" bullshit, normally, and logically, she would have been killed 1st, cuz she is so weak and useless ;E
Well in other words... I just hope the fact that Snow White surives (that obviously wil happen) won't make too much bullshit, and some sense

it's you who don't understand. What you're saying is like saying "it's bullshit if medic on a war front don't die die first, because they're useless, weak, they don't fight and don't kill peoples". Guess what, medics gains protection and respect from other by helping and saving peoples. They usually don't have that bad of a chance at surviving war.
This is basically the same at a smaller scale. She gained respect and protector by saving and helping. And because she's not pro-actively going top fight either, this also rises her chances of survival.
WHat's happening is just that. Just because the character you like dies and some you don't like have yet to die doesn't make the story "bullshit".

I'm really sad that Alice died that way, but I have to say that swim swim had a great plan, I know that every one hate swim swim including me but it's a survival game(or death match)and swim swim is doing only what she can to survive,sadly she can't kill cranberry Becuse cranberry doesn't play by the rules of magical girls, she made the rolls and as we saw befour she is immortal.
What I like about this anime is that it break all the annoying rolls, even the best character that every one like may die and hard to know who will die next not as the shonnen cliches like Naruto and fairytales, you know that the hero eventually will win at the end even if he almost died Becuse guess what he remembers his friends and get his power back really

These recent episodes are getting harder and harder to watch, the deaths aren't that emotional, but are destroying me inside just by how sudden and common they are.

I wouldn't be suprised if Swin Swin becomes the Final Boss, she sure is building up into such role.

I'm hyped to see how the fight between Cramberry and Swin Swin will turn out, there is a lot of potential.

Snow white is becoming annoying, I hope she gets a decent character development.

Fucking Swim Swim.... I hope in the next episode that she'll draw her a last breath, honestly. She's probably the worst character in this show and maybe even this season. As for the twins' past, I couldn't care any less about that as well. You won't be missed.

This is getting seriously depressing having all the good and likable girls getting killed and the unbearable characters survive.

Forced feels for no reason. Snow White is basically a reborn Madoka, useless probably until the last episode. Fuck Swimswim once again one of the best characters dies.

This anime doesn't even surprise me anymore, they try to throw in sad backstory and Fav being a Businessman from another world but to zero effect. Correction, Fav being a businessman from another world is completely stupid.

This show has officially lost all value after this week. I mean seriously...the only good character is Snow White and she's so in denial that I honestly wish SHE would have died instead of half the cast in this show. I mean, how much of the LNs has been adapted so far? I heard there was like 9 volumes so it's like...how did this series get dragged on for that long when most of the cast gets killed? Smh.

As much as I hate the fact that Alice is gone, I have to give kudos to the anime for making her death really cause an impact. The way the sound of rain suddenly booms as we expect Snow White to cry was achieved flawlessly. Manipulative, yes, but for me it worked as opposed to other forced moves that thus far did not resonate with me.

I think it's very interesting to contrast Alice with Swim Swim. From what we saw of Alice, aka Ako's life, she hardly had it easy. In fact, she had even written her will and goes on to say to Snow White that now she doesn't have to die, which is about as sad as it gets. She was also a kid. Not as young as Swim Swim, but clearly a child and yet not a psychopath. I'll be honest, I can hardly wait to see Swim Swim die a horrible death.

I sincerely hope her death makes Snow White go into fighting mode, or something, anything. I wish they had done more to develop their relationship, Alice's death probably hit the viewers more than Snow White herself since we got to see her background story.

Nice thinking, maybe cranberry won the first project ( Becuse she was there) and now she supposed to supervise this one, even her device is deferent but it shouldn't be bloody, because fav said "world of magic doesn't want to cause trouble for human world so producing fatalities is out of question " but that mean that she also sheated the first time and killed every one Becuse she said "if the want talent then they should eliminate the weak the weak and select the strong", that mean that she changed the rolls
Alice wanted to die and even wrote her will, Becuse she thought that she was unnecessary burden to others ,the reason for her to live was to help Snow White.

Ohmagawd, I never hated an anime character this bad. I so want Swim Swim to die, I hope she dies next, I hope she dies a horrible death grr. And she told her minions it was easy killing Ako. Of course it was easy, dmnt, you're attacking a currently powerless Alice, in her human form. It would have been a different story if she attacked her transformed version.

I like how they brought back that one tiny little scene of Snow White giving a little girl her key. That was nice. What wasn't nice was Swim Swim so brutally killing a little girl. Yikes. She's so damn heartless for a loli. It is cheating though, attacking Ako when she can't transform. But there are no rules in this death match when it comes to killing. Now how will Koyuki handle this. She didn't take the new rule well and she ran off. Now the third person she depended on has died in front of her at that (though she took her sweet time in dying). Should be interesting to see what happens to her.

Swim Swim is after Cranberry and this is obviously not going to end well for her group and herself. Cranberry kills Minael so nonchalantly as if it were nothing. Now she's after Tama and Swim. Tama is already injured and is less effective now. Swim is ded. Tama is ded. I was hoping to see something more from Tama with that conflict she was having last week which resulted in her being found out by Snow White. Too bad we won't get anything more from her.

And this game has been explained. It's purpose is to raise magical girls and pick the strongest one for the world of magic and whatever. The selection process was supposed to be a little bit more peaceful than what Fav and Cranberry are doing here. It wasn't supposed to turn out like this which is why Fav is lying in his reports. The selection process was turned into a mindless brutal game for Fav and Cranberry's pleasure. This is what was meant by "selection process" back then. There was some other way to select magical girls previously and Cranberry didn't like it so she's changing things a bit here. And I think the girl to be selected will be the one left standing other than Cranberry, unless she decides to kill her too. But isn't the magic world the least bit concerned? Are they so trusting that they're not coming to check in on the progress Cranberry and Fav have made? Some higher-up should stop by to see how far things have gone.

Some interesting points as yet:

1.Cranberry recruiting Magical Girls for fight a enemy in Magical World, all the girls died because they are weak (episode 1 first minutes).

2.Next magical girl exam, Cranberry turn the exam in a battle royale for survive. The last standing magical girl will go to magical world to fight (episode 10).

3. The way the select the candidates for magical girl are interesting we can split in 2 groups who have the quality for being a typical magical ( Snow White, Sister Nana, La Pucelle, Nemurin, Top Speed, Tama and Winter Prison) and the who doesn't (Calamity Mary, Ruler, Swim Swim, Magiocaloid44). About Ripple, Alice and the Twins i think they are in gray zone.

At this point i think only Snow White and Tama maybe will agree to go Magic World and save them, i doubt Ripple or Swim Swim will agree, well made Swim if the made her the Ruler...

This is my opinion.
