| What an amazing episode, Akko played that incredibly smart. Diana did some super impressive magic. But thats just the thing, she just went by the book and just followed the rules. Akko instead questioned the situation and said "well why dont we do something better?" |
|
| Damn great episode, really heartwarming too. I could understand why Sucy and Lotte didn't want to go along with Akko, but they felt more like they were pushing her away in the last episode. Glad to see them all friendly again without that weird tension between them. Also, I may be overthinking things here, but I wonder if it was intentional to block off the girl's face in the brief flashback Or if that's just some random character. Looking forward to the next episode and later for whoever the main villain will turn out to be |

| Most Huggable character goes tooooooooooooooo Really enjoyed the episode, had me laughing frequently. Some questionable things at times but overall very nice. Also minecraft at the end o.0 |
1idd0kun said: blfan said: Back to Diana, if we are going through a Diana jealousy of Akko arc, timing wise would be role reversal, I think episode 12 concluded the Akko is jealousy of Diana character arc. Heck she gained some admiration, so whatever Diana going through, Akko just experienced, so if anyone would understand it is Akko. We could an Akko / Diana "you're great, no you're great" argument. I think things won't be as easy for Diana though. Akko has shown to be willing to learn from her failures since the start. She might get depressed and complain, but she learns and improves and is constantly changing. Diana on the other hand doesn't seem like she would be willing to even admit her flaws. She brushed off what happened in episode 2 and didn't change at all. Well, eventually she will change, but it will take time and probably a bigger fuck up to get her there. Akko seems to learn from her failures? Really? Man, she make shit every week in the school and don't pay attention to the class even after the episodes that develop this side of her. |
| I certainly loved this ep, Akko deserved some justice, and it was time for her efforts to bring results, I really smiled and felt happy when saw that :) I hope the next episodes will be as good as this one, or at least promising... It was really worth it. |

| Yes, I got emotional like you too Diana. I just felt happy and proud for Akko, Lotte and Sucy. As someone who likes to do stuff differently and question traditions, I can definitely relate to Akko in this situation. |
| allo |
| Wonderful & fun episode. Diana's water summoning performance was beautiful. Akko, Lotte & Sucy's performance was amazing. Her metamorphosis magic was great. Pulling out the Seed of Sorrow from the Vajarois & revealing her true form was so cool. Hmm mysterious person at the end. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| In the end, Akko put in just as much if not more work and preparation into her performance as Diana. The difference is she wasn't doing it alone and her motivation behind it at the end was completely different. Notice that after learning about the history of the ghost, Akko's motivation was purely about sympathy for the ghost while the whole Moonlit Witch got left in the dust. Really good episode! |
| okay so what the hell is this thing. Also why is akko so cute, cause as a character I just want her to succeed. |
| Another fantastic episode! everyone was entertained by the performance of Akko, Lucy & Lotte! Even the judges was also impressed. Just look at Diana, she was also has this different kind of emotion! The 3rd word has been unleashed! Looks like Akko will figure-out all the word by herself from the looks of it without any help or guidance of Chariot/Ursula-sensei! LOL at the face of Sucy when Akko is crying while holding both Lotte & her! 5/5. |
 |
| damn that was awesome and tha final scene something is going down for sure |

| Hello there, what was that at the end? |
Raneer said: caio_ken said: Akko seems to learn from her failures? Really? Have you not watched the last few episodes where Akko has worked her ass off to better herself? Yes, I watched. And like I said, even when she had the development, she was making bad things in the school reviving dead people for example or sleeping in the class, the same error that she made before the development. |
| Samhain Festival is here and it looks like only Diana and Akko's group impressed the judges. That summon with Diana was impressive though I am getting a little tired of her always looking good. I like her and all but the day she loses to anyone, specifically Akko, it will be glorious. Akko's performance was well received by the crowd and even the judges. I'm happy for her, she needed this. 5/5- Loved Sucy and Lotte deciding to join with Akko's plans. I also loved that Lotte also stood up to Diana and the bullies for Akko. This was really fun to watch as Akko continues to do what she feels is good in her heart rather than fold into the mold. Good thing she did that, rid that monster of its sorrow and impressed the Judges. Even the ever so stoic Diana felt some sort of emotion after Akko's performance. Also...Incoming Croix!? |

| So the only exciting performance so far is from Diana. THAT IS until Akko and her sacrifice start their performance and finally breaking Vajarois's curse. Even Diana is speechless about that. LOL |

funaawa said: So, from seeing everything so far, I conclude that Diana is probably jealous of what Akko brings to people. Jealousy, is a very complex feeling, but it's a human emotion that we feel almost everyday. Jealousy is a thin thread between loving and hating someone. So, of course Diana doesn't hate Akko, however they share a somewhat one-sided(?) rivalry, so it's too early to say that they are as close as Sucy and Lotte are to Akko. That's exactly what Jealousy is though. ... Jealousy is ugly, but it is sympathetic because we all feel that way some time in our lives, or even now. Diana doesn't know the feeling of someone doing better than you in class or anything normal like that. I don't think jealousy is the primary emotion Diana is feeling there. I think she feels guilty for being given an honour she thinks Akko deserves, for the second time in the series no less, based on a technicality. It isn't jealousy as much as she is earning a newfound respect for Akko. Diana has never really had anyone show her up before, and now this doofus Akko is doing it through hard work, gusto, and a heavy dose of showmanship. Diana doesn't really understand what she's feeling because it is a complicated set of emotions. I'm sure there is some envy in there over Akko having true friends willing to help her out through all of this and because of Akko's showmanship that diligently dry Diana lacks, but I think that is a smaller part of her tangled spiderweb of emotions right now. |

Takuan_Soho said: Aversa said: Well a nice episode Ako didn't cause trouble this time and managed to give a very nice show but it seems Diana has some issues with it. Well hope it's acknowledgement and not jealousy. Even Diana doesn't know right now, she just knows she felt something that she never felt before. Pretty sure it wasn't jealousy, because the reporter told Diana she won the competition and she said "What about Akko's group?" Looks like the sacrifice wasn't considered part of the show, or something like that, even though the reporter admired what Akko did. I think it was more awe, not just of Akko, but of magic as a whole. I think this is the first time Diana has seen magic that inspired her, whereas for her it has always been a responsibility. I think Diana deserves more credit then she gets from fans. She is the one who the entire magic community has pinned their hopes on for her entire life. Last episode when Akko read Diana's diary, she learned that Diana is doing everything she can to figure out how to stop the decline. She is so far past her teachers that she has to do everything on her own, all while knowing full well how much ordinary people hate magic (having to move within that social circle). Akko is blissfully ignorant of all this. That, I think is what makes Diana so annoyed with Akko (previously). Here Diana is fighting against ignorance, fighting against prejudice, having to act far far more mature than her years, having all the responsibility heaped on her shoulders, of course seeing some gadfly, playing around (yes, Akko is studying, but it hasn't show up anywhere Diana would see it until this episode). Yes. YES! I can't agree more! |

| Miss Marjolaine is HOT AF like I expected ;) Putting that aside lol, this episode was really great and was a perfect example as to why rooting for Akko's success just feels right. It's really sad and annoying how so many people hate on her so seeing her get the chance to be great and put everyone to shame and receive praise is quite heartwarming Sucks that Diana once again is gonna get all the credit and be seen as THE future though....Akko really deserved this one but oh well, Diana did a good job too so I can't be THAT mad Great episode overall though and it made me smile to see how they helped the blob thing...Also, looks like we got our first glimpse of our new antagonist =o |
| These last few episodes have been absolutely amazing. This episode was really fun and exciting to watch. The magic stuff was great. Diana's magic look really beautiful ^_^ I hate the 2 girls with Diana tho. They piss me off so much. Acting all cocky with Akko but in reality don't actually do shit. Even in this performance xD Third word revived :D I would love a more detailed explanation of that soon xD Akko's performance was really fun to watch. I loved how the crowd really enjoyed it as well. That was nice to see, being appreciated. Shame they aren't gonna win it because they "broke the rules" :/ Was also interesting to see Diana feeling "something" towards Akko's performance ^^ This pic of Akko tho. WAY. TOO. ADORABLE. Looks like a new villain at the end of the episode :O Next episode should be great. I'm excited! This show has gotten so much better recently and find myself wanting more of this :D |

-Trippwire- said: Hello there, what was that at the end? It's Croix. New teacher at Luna Nova. Evil one |
| damn that was a nice motivational episode, Akko and the gang have been disqualified but even Diana is surprised on how good they did |
| That anime is just great and beautiful. I really love how they show Akko progress and i totally love all her cute metamorphosis animals xD Well Diana felt like her emotion was moves with Akko magic and I don't think she is jealous of her but she might be her fateful friend/rival. Was that Ursula hand at the end with that cube thing? |
| DAMMIT! I'm too old and cynical to feel moved by a cartoon, but when Akko, Lotte, and Sucy managed to pull the Seed of Eternal Sorrow from the heart of Vajarois I was full of emotion, and the look on Diana's face was the best, and I'm not saying that in a bad way, but that she was in awe of what the trio had done. Really this was a great episode. |
| akko gets more likeable after this episode. It just annoys me how lazy she is in every other episode. Also pls consider that akko actually screwed up this time again. Only because Ursula was doing all the research they could handle the ghost. Diana is the real MC. She has a great burden and is not just toying around. Major plot point in the last few seconds? What was that? |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| To see the face of Diana when she is disappointed, it is always a pleasure, yes! Episode interesting because of the further growth of Akko in the magical arts, and because the interpersonal relationship with Lotte and Sucy, is strengthened further. Really touching the tears of Akko, the first time, more than entertain, they touched me, really nice was the narrative. I can not wait, to see what the near future holds for us the story. |

15poundfish said: I wonder if Diana is secretly a Chariot fan because in the first episode she is seen watching Chariot's performance and her summoning seem to be inspired from one of Chariot's performances. Diana was a closet Chariot fan in the OVAs. I'm quite certain she still is in the TV show here for all the reasons you mentioned. She was clearly in awe of Akko's magic this episode too, and we've seen her eyeing the Shiny Rod. |

| Diana reminds me a lot of Satsuki Kiryuuin from Kill la Kill. Kuudere perhaps? |
 obscureanimefan said: I think little girls are sexy. |
| Must say I am not really feeling Sucy and Lottes bond with Akko since last few episodes. Thank God Lotte took Akkos side. I love how Akko challenges tradition. And ye it's much more fun when the prey actually fights back then just go like "oh ye please just me so we can get this over with" That's nonsense even if its tradition or whatever. Wow she just freed a ghost of eternal sadness and you don't consider it an accomplishment? That's AMAZING. Don't mess with me. Disqualifying dem was disgusting. Hate. I feel like Diana will say that she doesn't wanna accept the award and Akkos group deserves it more. Please do it. |

| This episode pushed the story magnificently, from start to finish. Its also starting get close to my feels (Goddamn it Trigger!!!) The theories from the comments relating to Diana are pretty solid imo. Tho I dislike her getting the credit for almost everything. HYPE for next episode. |
| damn, the forums these days... |
| Amazing and magical performance from Akko lotta and Sucy. |
| Diana has always been my favorite, but moment like these were she shows more emotion is always my favorites. Gosh I adore her. Great episode, this show is getting better and I can really appreciate that, I'm pretty excited for all the plot stuff coming soon |
| Some really nice animation this week, that water summoning scene wow Some real friendship moments between Akko, Lotte and Sucy, good stuff Loved the headmaster's reaction to the show |
| Diana's magic was really pretty!!! She is a very talented witch. Akko got so much better, it's nice to see her and her friend doing something right. |
 |
| Now that I've rewatched episode 11 and paused to see each red flash into the future, I have a couple of theories I'd like to see if they come true. First of all, the person with the mystery cubes is Diana's mother. She unleashes the cube dragon onto a nearby town, setting it on fire and destroying it. The townspeople blame Luna Nova because it is related to magic. Past that, I'm not sure what might happen yet. I only want to say that I really like Diana and don't want her to be the villain. I hope her and Akko will become friends, work together to save Luna Nova and the world of magic. P.S. What was that head rolling thing Sucy was doing in episode 13 while listening to Hanna and Barbara scold Akko? Somebody make a GIF out of it! |
