"I want to wake up from this recurring dream"

god jun is so fucking smart for this

jun is known for his absurd take on magical girls in his clothing (drugs mostly) and how he hates them being so perfect. this is seen here in one of his interviews : "There are quite a few girls in your artwork and collaborations. The magical girls (an anime and manga category of young girls who use magic to overcome conflict) you frequently post on your Instagram represent you well as an artist. Do they have a backstory or background?
JUN: There’s no specific backstory or anything, but you know how most people depict magical girls as these powerful and perfect ideals? I started drawing them because I thought it was better to have magical girls who possess a more human quality and are true to themselves. Before long, these characters were smoking and doing drugs. Whenever I would watch anime featuring magical girls with a strong sense of doing what’s right for others, I would assume weird things about them: “it doesn’t matter if they’re cute because they do bad things in the dark.” So, I decided to draw magical girls with their bad side out in the open. It’s not like I have a message I want to convey through these characters. Nothing deep. I’ve always enjoyed watching anime with girl protagonists and drawing girls, so it’s just an extension of that." in my opinion , this episode completely counteracts what he said in that interview.

i wouldn't be suprised if this was a bait episode due to its colorful nature at times and how fast the pacing was

As someone who just recently learned about Jun Inagawa through this show, I have been doing some big digging, and I am absolutely falling in love with this dude.  It’s awesome to see his vision captured within this show and I cannot wait for more from this series and from Jun himself.

(by the way, who is this girl? I don't see her on the character list for the series).

That seems to be Slayer. She appears at the start and end in her established design, and we see her switch to the "new girl" during the first water shot.

What's very interesting about her though is that her second design seems to be a mix or Anarchy and Blue. She shares an eye with each, has hair in Blue's shade but Anarchy's style, and even her outfit combines the outward frills of Anarchy's costume with the cross-like tie Blue has. Even her neck accessory is like Anarchy's choker, yet with a nick in the centre like Blue's collar. I'm not yet sure what this could mean, nor why Pink is seemingly excluded. Or, for that matter, why this design never appeared in any promotional material. It's also interesting that she is the only character with one tear, not two, perhaps representing that whatever is going on with the other girls (this leads in to the idea that this show may be allegorical for a more complex, personal plotline) is at a lesser scope for her.
