| Hell yeah; Swim Swim died. I find it a little bit unrealistic that she was just a kid, but whatever. The whole time after I found out that Swim Swim's weaknesses were light and sound, I was screaming in my head, "flash bangs!", "grenades!", "electrify her!". Lol, it was pretty satisfying that Ripple actually used a flash bang. |
| You are now breathing manually. |
For me it was a good anime, with incredible scenes and ugly and strong situations and with a nice ending in the sense that my favorite character haha survived but leaving that aside, it was really an entertaining show, not the best clear this one, its final is sad and sad for a lot of people and that for me can perhaps turn it into the anime of this strongest genre (maybe) no talk about his novels that continue the story, fully recommended. |

smoledman said: One thing I regret was not getting more background on Swim Swim. All we get is from Fav - 'she has a screw loose'. Agree, I want to know how she became that way. I really enjoyed this anime. I had low expectations because I heard it was a "Madoka clone," but I was pleasantly surprised. Would love to have another season. |

I really enjoyed this anime. I had low expectations because I heard it was a "Madoka clone," but I was pleasantly surprised. Would love to have another season. Don't think that was necessary, she's a smart kid but still A KID, easily influenced, as we saw with Nemurin and Ruler Nemurin = good influence Ruler = bad influence The influences just mixes up, and we saw that she is indeed kind and cold hearted at the same time, caring for her teammates, shedding tears when she had to kill Ruler and Tama but casually going on killing spree It all adds up |
| The ending was satisfying, if a season 2 were to come out I'd watch it, 7/10. |
 |
| The only death I sympathized with was Top speed's because she was 6months due pregnant. The others were deserved oh and except also Hardgore Alice's death, I kinda liked her but that Swim swim was cunning way more than Ruler for killing her. As for the MC Snow White, I felt she didn't contribute anything to the game or the entire series, she is one of the worst protagonist I have ever seen but she lasted until the end. Ripple was also my favorite but her resurrection was a bit overdone, but I'm she's alive and that new look is one of the best bad ass ones in anime history. I doubt there will be a sequel, but I will remember it in the future and the darkness it had especially the killing of kids. Such gore. |

Dude, read the LN, the whole anime is just the first arc of its current 8 arcs and counting Also Snow White |
| Meh... this was disappointing and unsatisfactory. I don't even want a second season unless they will be delving into the 'world of magic' or an entirely new cast. This left a sour taste in my mouth. |

 |
Thats probably not a bad idea, the current surviving girls somehow find a way to transport to the world of magic and have mini adventures there with new members. or we start season 2 in the world of magic... entire new cast with no mention or connection to the previous season but that will make it an alternative version... which I honestly wouldn't mind. As long as there's no one character killing off 99% of the cast. |

As long as there's no one character killing off 99% of the cast. Well, the surviving rate in each arc is... pretty low no matter the arc I'm afraid ^^". It's not an alternative version, it's a proper story overall, just that the anime adapted the prologue and only the prologue. Basically, baring FA-B and Clamberry, none of the character who died during the anime were relevant to the overall story, just like any minor character dying in the prologue of a story. |

| Can we get an F for Swim Swim? |
 |
| I guess I could say the characters are interesting even though my favorite Saber lookalike, La Pucelle, was killed off. RIP Top Speed, too. Something, something no season two? The manga is ongoing. What I've read about Cranberry is confusing, I consider her character too simple to be an interesting villain. Her normal self wasn't ever revealed. This is why you min/max your RPG/mobage characters. /s Not enough time spent developing this large cast of characters and Koyuki was just kinda there in many scenes. Maybe she only hesitated to kill Swim Swim because she was shocked she had a difficult battle with an elementary school student. I can't tell if the series' Magical World exists or if it's just part of some greater manipulation orchestrated by Fav lol. Had to be informed by the wiki Koyuki wanted to be strong so she wouldn't need to be protected at the end. Not sure if I'd be interested in watching more of this. Might watch a bit of Mahou Shoujo Site to see if it was totally boring by comparison. |

| Loved this anime, I remember anime like Madoka Magica in this. The concept was pretty fun, and I enjoyed it. The 2 remaining characters Snow White and Ripple was the best choice, they are definitely the 2 characters in the story with strong feelings. Sadly my likeable characters like Nemurin and Alice died, and the fact that not all of the magical girls are girl and high school student makes this concept pretty new to me. The whole thing was nothing amazing, the only thing I loved bout this is the characters and the fights, the story was pretty weak sadly. The ending was not sad, and I am thankful for it. |

| Nice anime! I usually don't like this kind of blood genre, but the story and the characters were well-built, so it was satisfying for me. In the end, however, I'd like to see a real ending... it didn't feel like a real one for me /: |

I'll check it when I get time. I really wanted to see an animated version of it since I really appreciate mahou shoujo animes ^-^ |
28012001 said: àThe most sorry ending for any mahou shoujo anime, not the saddest. But this one is pretty good as a whole. ^that's because the anime ending is actually just the end of the story's prologue. If you are interested in the story as a whole and don't mind reading novels, you may want to consider reading the novels, since they're currently being published in english ;). |

Thank you for the suggestion, I will have a try. If you do, don't forget the all important volume 1.5 |

| noo... best girl Swim was murdered! Ripple you are murderer. The game is over, but still killed Ayana. and a pathetic way for Fav to die, villains like him beg for mercy and get killed. He caused his own death, because if he did not tell Swim's weakness, then this would not happen. Snow White ran away from home.. would have been better if they showed where she lives now. Or do magical girls in this anime don't need to eat, as long as transformed? Glad she stopped her delusional ideals of a friendly magical girl, she's tougher now. overall, I liked this anime a lot. Eventhough it ended a bit sadly... my favorites Alice and Swim Swim both died. both the opening and ending themes are awesome as well. I ordered the artbook. Will arrive in about 2-3 weeks from now. https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-2062706 ____________ NipahAllDay said: I really like this series. I wish they did a better job rearranging the events because it make the LN and the anime feels very different. This series is totally not a masterpiece, but I think it does a nice job being entertaining. People complain about it being predictable and it's understandable, but how they handle those death was honestly pretty neat. It still manage to bring some surprise. If I was being honest, I'll give this anime a solid 7 or a strong 6, but an 8.4 for my personal score. I hope we get a season 2 someday. :> Lewd said: Whew such a terrible ending unfortunately the only thing that kept me invested in the series was Swim Swim nice to see another person who likes Swim-chan. |
| The end. This wasn't anything special in my opinion. |

| the Official Fan Book I ordered got delivered. ^^ so happy with it. Plenty of pics of everyone. there are also what seems to be an interview with Snow White's voice actress. took a pic of the front page. :)  |
| (Disclaimer: I am an anime only viewer.) I really don't get way people hate this ending so much? It honestly really fits in my opinion. I'm pretty sure the reason people dislike it the most is because they see the Rabbit's Foot as an asspull, and I disagree: The rabbit's foot has been established from episode 1. It's not a Deus Ex Machina at that point. And with Snow White being useless, yeah, you're absolutely correct. I found myself screaming at the screen several times over. But the ending acknowledges this and shows her finally starting to learn and get better. It's really not as bad as you guys say. (Oh yeah, and bonus points for Ripple not being stupid and actually using a flashbang.) Hesitant 9/10, that or 8/10. My main frustration is still at Alice's death scene. JUST GIVE HER THE FUCKING PHONE SNOW WHITE-- |

JUST GIVE HER THE FUCKING PHONE SNOW WHITE-- I completely understand your frustration with Snow White…I am so sad they didn’t adapt restart, because it would’ve complimented this season so well…this is the worst timeline. That would be SWRP fam, coz she's literally a supporting character in restart |
|
thunderkitten13 said: Oh no, I am not suggesting she played a major role. But it would show how she has changed, and her mood towards corruption and evil now… She already changed in the ending of arc 1 and SWRP, "complimented" besides that one battle in beginning it's a non sequitur to mention restart |

| you're telling me ripple didn't think about using thunder to defeat swim swim???? i thought that was why she called her to fight on a storm and didn't she lose her freaking arm? you telling me magical girls can just put their limbs back?! SO WINTERPRISON'S DEATH WAS USELESS, I GUESS??? this show was really mediocre, the people making this are clearly competent and could make something amazing at anytime, i just think the story should have been written with more care i'll look out for more stuff being made by this studio, as i feel they're bound to deliver something great one day, this is just not it at all 6/10 |

Also she properly went with grenades to use the weaknesses she heard about. That sounds way more practical than trying to use random thunder strikes ImO. Also, Ripple's arms is gone for good. Not sure what you're talking about reattaching it, it wasn't. Winterprison died because she was still unable to say no to her girlfriend who was obviously completely nuts at that point. |

KillMeDaddyUwU said: you're telling me ripple didn't think about using thunder to defeat swim swim???? i thought that was why she called her to fight on a storm 6/10 Ripple already knew her weaknesses are light and sound, the lightning was just a coincidence that confirmed the said weaknesses |
|
| Slightly meh final fight but I'm glad Ripple showed no reservations about finishing the job. I thought Swim was going to be struck by lightning from that spear, but that flashbang was cool. In fact, all the fights were pretty lackluster, except for Mary vs Alice. Besides that, I loved the show! 9/10 I'll have to keep the LNs in mind now, and I'm looking forward to the newly announced sequel. |
| "You can't decide the future, but I'm going to re-educate you in the past!" - Erna Kurtz |
| Any news about the sequel? Was announced a year ago but after then no news. Also i see on the bottom of the page that the light novel is already at volume 14, there is a huge amount of stuff to adapt but sadly i doubt they will go further after "restart", the heck, is already a miracle they even announced the second season. |
| That ended very differently than I thought it would lol I didn't think Ripple was going to make it out of that fight, or that they'd end up getting rid of Fav Overall, I think this show is like a 7. Definitely not an 8. It's got some flaws when it comes to the writing, but I did still enjoy it! Looking forward to that new show coming soon! |

| wow, decent ending but great ep |
