So what exactly was that scene in the beginning of the episode?I wasn't able to connect the very first scene with the contend of the episode(not in a satisfactory way at least). I also was feeling this way with the last scene of the episode 5. This is purposefull or i'm just missing something?

The first scene this episode was to show how bad Felicia is at teamwork, and the end of episode 5 was to show that its not only Iroha who has the weird witch power

oh, thanks a lot. Its actually quite simple. I guess the weekly releases for a complex show like this makes you forget the basics about the universe.

Iroha continues her search for her sister Ui and on her trip runs into a new rumor and in turn, meets a new magical girl, a very violent and skilled girl.

The introduction of Felicia Mitsuki was quite aggressive, a girl who personally captivated me with her appearance and that finally destroyed me why she is a mercenary magical girl, knowing that her family was murdered by witches made me very sad, such an adorable girl as she doesn't deserve to live like that.

Something that I liked about this episode was the change in attitude that Yachiyo had with Iroha, he seems to worry more about her, I don't know if it's because of the search Iroha is going through or just because Iroha is weaker and needs to be taken care of I hope that Yachiyo eventually invites Iroha to live in the house that, as Yachiyo mentioned before, the house was a boardinghouse, but it still bothers me that Yachiyo hides certain things, like hiding from Iroha that she became a doppel.

The new rumor seemed interesting to me, a drink that grants you good luck, but you should practically become an addict and drink it every 24 hours or you will disappear, it hurts that Iroha and Felicia drank this and are now in danger.

Another familiar face appeared before Yachiyo, it seems that Kyouko is also investigating or is simply looking for witches to hunt, in the same way I loved seeing her and her personality so characteristic of her.

Wings of Magius is undoubtedly the classic group with suspicious intentions and that finally one of the members will be involved with the witches, I have that feeling, since they came directly to Felicia and offered her a deal that she would not be able to refuse, that is to say that they need this girl without a group to be under their control and thus get rid of a possible threat and personally I don't trust them because they got Felicia to put that scary face full of hate and revenge, she should have a smile, but the poor girl has suffered a lot and I think I can't stand her suffering anymore.

It still bothers me not knowing if Momoko and Rena are doing well and what happened to Kaede?

Ok, I honestly don't really know what that was... Nothing really important happened this episode, or at least, I didn't see it. Of course there is a chance I missed something, mostly because I'm getting more and more confused over all these characters. If I'm not completely wrong, there were at least two new characters in this episode (with Kyouko just having her debut in the show) and that is nothing new. It has that "character of the week" feeling by now, with old characters not reappearing and just new ones showing up. This might possibly be due to the origin of the anime.

I also get the feeling we are missing on the story. As I have written at some point in the past, Iroha is just a figure for telling stories about people around her. We haven't seen anything really new about her search for Ui in some time, there is always something else. I hope, this isn't just the main pace for the rest of the series and then all about Ui will be solved in the last episode. That would be really disappointing. I'm hoping we get more pieces to the overall puzzle in the future.

I think that somehow this is all related to Ui and her disappearance. Those hooded girls repeat the same promise of "salvation" that Ui says in the dreams of the magical girls.

"If someone says it's wrong to hope, I'll tell them they're wrong every single time."

I don't understand the audience. There were more people hitting episode 2, but this one, which was really bad. The pace is very fast, the dialogues are confusing. Both the rumor of this episode and the character introduced were handled very poorly. I hope it gets better in the next episode, so far it was score 9. :( 2/5 for the episode, 4/5 for the anime until EP 6

I didn't understand what you meant. The first scene of this episode takes place at the barrier of a witch. The magic girls, except Felicia, in this scene, are a team, they are just extras. I don't know why it is so difficult to understand. The function of this scene was to show Felicia in battle and her insanity when seeing witches or familiars.

The anime's following a two-episodes-per-game-chapter pace, so this is the setup episode for their initial encounter with the Wings of the Magius. Things should start moving in the next episode, especially I'd say if the earlier speculation about Kuroe becoming a Black Feather turns out to be right.

Yeah, I somewhat got that this is just the beginning of that story. Didn't know that it's two episodes per game-chapter as I don't know anything about the game. Thanks for letting me know, so with that in mind I now know how to see the plot of this series.

Oh snap, I must have taken it as mother-daughter love.

Isn't "Maminagi" a common pairing?

I don't think I've seen Tsuruno/Felicia shipping before, but it makes sense as they are close.

The hooded girls seem to be part of a secret society, xD. I know owls are related to secret societies so I think I'm not that off about this theory.

Tbh this show is boring sometimes. It feels like SHAFT puts the girls from the original anime for no reason other than keep the viewers from dropping this.

This anime reminds me of Sofia the first. I'm serious. You know how everytime Sofia's in trouble and a Disney princess appears before her?

I get the feeling Kyoko appeared on this episode just because she's similar to Felicia. Similar personality and similar appearance. (I mean look at their crooked teeth) They both like food and they have no family since their parents are dead.

You can drop it if you don't like it.
I am agree that characters from original anime don't seem really useful for the moment
I don't know why they are here exactly but if it is for what you said, if I did not like the serie that's not what would have prevented me from dropping it (on the contrary)
I have not seen Sofia the first but apart what you mentioned, it seems very different of magia record.

I have to agree. At least for Mami there was a brief scene where Kyubey asks her to investigate Kamihama, but as for Kyoko's reason to be there, they completely cut the part where

I thought Felicia was a annoying at first but I liked her by the end. She kind of reminded me of Kyouko a bit. Speaking of Kyouko, she seemed out of place, but it's possibly establishing her before she does something rather than just being a cameo.

Another new magical girl. I feel like they are introducing too many characters tbh

I don't think that she actually believes them at the end.

It seems that Felicia will betray everyone lol.

But the most important thing in the episode was Kyoko's debut in this spin-off.

I didn't really thought that they were introducing too many magical girls until this episode. Although I don't think I'm bothered by it that much since I kind of see it more as a welcome change to a spin-off and a way to expand the Madoka Magica (extended) universe. But yeah, I can see why this could throw off some viewers. The original series was more "localized" (only a few magical girls get introduced at a time) while Magia Record isn't really (if you get my point). As for the fast-paced part, I don't really think Magia Record is that much fast-paced compared to the original. Or at least not by a lot.

As for the witches, yeah, Magia Record made them even more of a "monster of the week" formula. Someone said that they're not as memorable as the ones from the original series. I'm kind of inclined to agree. I don't really know every witch from both 'seasons', but the ones I know more of are: Charlotte (Nagisa), Oktavia (Sayaka), Elsa Maria, Walpurgisnacht (if that one counts), and Kriemhild (Madoka).

Iroha drinking the water bottle from what appears to be a witch is kind of weird. I've also noticed that Iroha has some sort of Google Maps on her phone. It's a small detail, but the entertainment industry tends to avoid having smartphones as to not make their movies, series, etc. "dated." Is Shaft (the animation studio behind this anime) starting some sort of daring change to anime?

I've just realized, can't the girls just wear gloves to conceal the fact that their magical girls?

Hammer girl reminds me of Vita from Lyrical Nanoha A's a lot, actually. Well, at least she's not beating up Iroha for pocket money.

I wonder if any more of the original magical girls are going to appear. I thought it would only be Mami but of course, Kyouko makes sense as well. Would Homura and Madoka be next?

Yachiyo is cool and all, but Felicia's just misunderstood.

Yeah, of course Felicia gets tempted by... whatever those are. I've expected that, but at the same time I've also expected her to just stay with Iroha's team.

Momoko's team and Kuroe hasn't been the focus these last few episodes, I wonder what they're up to now.

This is far from the first anime to have a character with a smartphone. They're usually used as phones, though, so it's typically just a minor detail. The game had her having trouble with using her phone(including the maps app), but that doesn't seem to be the case in the anime.

I usually write these as I watch the anime. I honestly didn't notice that until someone pointed it out, though.

That blonde magical girl wants money?.. Really?.. Bully.. ;/ Well, hopefully she'll get better later, but really demanding money?..
Well, in the end, I guess, she agreed to just ice cream.. Alright, I guess.. I just really don't like gopnik culture and stuff.. Well, will put it for aside right now, it doesn't seem like she is as violent as them..
So Mitsuki Felicia, hm.. Ok..
This dimension's/ timeline's Kyouko is as usual, I guess.. Just surviving is what interests her, and it's - hunting witches.. And also coming to other magical girls territory exactly for that..
Well.. Iroha and Felicia form lucky pair.. ;D I wonder, though, if it's done for comedic effect and slice of life stuff.. Or it's just witch with its' lucky owl water.. I'd prefer first, really.. Some wholesome slice of life would be nice.. ;p
Well.. So what do I think about Felicia.. Hm.. I guess, she is careless girl.. And that's why she sometimes can do things that hurt others.. Like demanding money.. Or fighting carelessly witches, putting others in danger.. She's just impulsive.. But she also not a bad person.. It seems.. She's not wishing really anyone evil or anything.. She's just really cares about being payed, because she wouldn't survive other way.. Guess, she reminds in this regards Kyouko a bit..
Damn, Felicia's face at 22:05.. Just in general that's an impressive art.. ;o
Well, so far I don't really know, how I feel about Felicia.. Have to see more about her.. But I'd want to wish that every magical girl is good in the end.. But who knows.. It'd be a bit strange, by the way.. If there would be evil magical girls.. Could there be evil magical girls to begin with?.. Or they'd just be witches at that point?.. Well, who knows..

Uhh... are we sure Iroha is an actual Mahou Shoujo? Because that must be the most stupid and laziest way to fall into a Witch/Familiar's trap I have ever seen. I mean, the whole atmosphere was creepy as fuck since the beginning yet she drank that mysterious water without a second thought. And people say Madoka was useless...

Anyways, quite lame episode this time. Not even my girl Kyouko could save it. Not really interested in this rumours plot-line and the story progression feels way too convenient at times.

As for Felicia, I'm already disliking her reckless attitude and how one-dimensional her character seems to be. I will still give her another chance tho since I had, more or less, the same impression with Kyouko's first introduction yet I ended up loving her.

Oh, so now we have a cult-like organization, uh?... Okay. To be honest, their introduction was kinda random but well. Now let's see if this "Wings of Magius" group might be involved in the whole issue regarding the Witches gathering.

Come on Iroha, you stepped into a very shady-looking place that pitches you their "holy water" and you didn't question anything about it?

Felicia's introduction was ok, she's kinda similar to Kyouko I suppose. Shame she got tempted by the cult in the end
