| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The episode was top notch in action and SFX with CG. However that is where it ends. How cheesy is the cheese when Kirius gets his sword grabbed easily like that by Madoka? Seems they exaggerate the powers of the Vox. The mace of Izo’s mecha did shit to Lan’s Vox nor did Kirius even slice the Vox of Madoka although he did slam it a few times. That was a let down in a way. I though it could have been fair instead of overpowering. You know? Anyway Kirius was nice in his fight along with Izo being a good support. What about the cheese of the Madoka x Lan in the light being happy? It was nice but it was done before and kind looked cheesy except for the fact it boosted morally Lan. Whom her Vox once in robot form and not piercer was marvellous. It looked really good. I will also say that Lan was over MOE in the following,  That part reeked of MOE from her but what was best of it was that it had a emotional outlook. That is good. In thee end back to back Madoka x Lan in the spoiler In thee end my enjoyment »»»»» my complaints but I wonder how many are a little on my side of complaints this time around despite the episode still being enjoyable. Lan and her Vox, WOW just wow. That’s all I will say. May edit later. BTW End Art in the spoiler |

| Non-stop action Madoka needs to work on her sword grabbing skills however, Lan has stellar sword grabbing skills, both had a hard time against Kirius and Izo, the friendship boost helped a lot. Madoka's thinking outside of the box is one of the best aspects I like in her as a pilot, it made for a nice choke hold on Kirius but it was short lived and made for an epic home run that saved her friends from a wayward vending machine. Madoka's sister and her friend she hangs out with get gate passes for clearance. Madoka's singing will have to grow on you, it's pretty good, but as a fan of Yuikaori, I can tell Kaori isn't as used to singing at such a low alto voice like that. |
 |
| This show is surprisingly awesome, pure win! All-action episode this time, and it was great from beginning to end. @Hoppy I totally agree with you, the unorthodox way Madoka fights is one the best parts about this show. And the fact that her first concern was preventing the town from damage, is great. I wasn't expecting much from this show, but Viz really came through with a great simulcast this season. On the off chance they would ever dub/release this I would definitely buy it! I really hope if they haven't already, that they pick up the streaming license for season 2 as well! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| nice episode if that was the legend that he just spoke of at the ending then it just got a whole lot more interesting |
 |
| For anyone interested, according to CDJapan the 1st OP and ED single will be out on 2/1/12. |
|
| I love it, not just the action, the art and the friendship and characters, I frickin' love the soundtrack, I feel nostalgic whenever that soundtrack pops up. I have a feeling that this is the best anime this season, glad there will be a second season right after the first |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this |

Madoka pulled a Symphogear when she started singing during the battle. Such a gorgeous end card of Lan. |
 |
| I didn't expect it, but aside from Nisemonogatari, this is my favorite anime this season. |

| Awesome episode now we just need orange and we will have the complete set |
 |
 Well Im glad Izo, Array, and Kirius are not really antagonists, just a shame Izo left Array there. Enjoyable episode and even got another woof from Lan. |
| <img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx1a8gz3tu1qbxqfpo1_500.png" /> |
| nice, the legend bit at the end has me interested so i'll probably be sticking with this show |
| Kinda underwhelming episode, but I still really liked it :D Madoka remains awesome as ever :) 4/5 I hope they get weapons soon, unless they intend to suplex them to death. :S The 'baddies' should get better weapons too, their current ones are really lame D: Madoka singing the Jersey Club anthem during her fight made me lol xD I also love how Kirius is full taking Madoka seriously as a pilot, and she's just winging it xD |
| The robot maru was so cool. |
| I fucking love that fabulous OP. Oh, decent episode, too. |
| well, she might be good at sports but she is no good at robot piloting. |

That’s all I will say. May edit later. Unless you weren't paying attention, both times he swung at her head, he hit. She TRIED to grab the sword, and failed both times. Lan is the one who did it right, and that was only at the end. Also, while I think it was really cheesy for them to do the bright lights and happiness thing when they passed, it was a nice way to show that Lan got a morale boost there. Overall, I love this anime, finally a mech anime that doesn't take itself too seriously while still being stupid-enjoyable. |

| Lan is easily my favorite. She's so shy. I can't wait to see Muginami unleash her Vox. |
| Thank god the enemy is stupid lo.Madoka will lose if the enemy work harderl . The enemy overrated Madoka for too much.Its legendarily overrated.... Anyway, I can't believe this episode is full of laughter and win ^.^ This is the pic shows that Madoka use its "head" MrHatandClogs said: And the fact that her first concern was preventing the town from damage, is great. She should just lead the enemy to the sea... |
| There are no DDLs at all at the moment. Can someone make one? |
 |
| I liked the action and the bonding between Madoka and Lan was pretty good. |
| They should name their Vox Buttercup and Bubbles. |

| i want to see some kick ass.. not running away from the enemy.. and if madoka wanted to save her town.. she shouldn't have flown into the direction of the enemy.. but away... |
tag©.androgynous  |
| pretty good episode her jersey club song was pretty funny,and theres something about how Madoka plots her vox i find pretty entertaining lol and the fact that the other plot thought she was pulling off secret techniques rather then just trying dumb stuff l was great. |
 |
N1neteen said: They should name their Vox Buttercup and Bubbles. LOL. Madoka is just pure win. She's just so unique. I like her already |
| really enjoyed this one, Lan and Madoka look so badass together, hoping they can keep this up and hopefully the show won't get sidetracked... too much |

Lan is the one who did it right, and that was only at the end. I guess so, but it did still end up taking damage though, not technically - the guy even called it a certain technique, saying that it wasn't flashy, but was very effective or something. Either way, I'm enjoying it. |

| That episode really made me question Madoka's level of intelligence. I know she is supposed to be a ditz for comedy but I expected her to at least consider a negotation with Kirius, if all had went as he planned she could have prevented all the property damage to her town. And I cringed alittle at the end of the episode becuase she seriously still thinks that Kirus's objective was to destroy the city. How ignorant can this girl be? If she would have said "perfect" and did that circle crap I would have thrown my laptop out the window. Well at least the animation and fighting is good. |
| ^ AHAHAHAHAAHA! Man, you're nitpickin' too much. Madoka is a bit like Naruto, but much less annoying! |
| I play, the haters lose. |
| I think it's a nice comedy touch the way Madoka just tells off the guy like shes talking to someone in her class lol. I was also craving for a comedy anime that has a badass female heroine. Most anime's that have these are too serious and it's funny to see the HQ's reactions to Madoka's piloting. LOL @ trying to strangle Kirius with the telepphone line. Trying to strangle something that doesn't breathe... oh! it must be a killing technique used on this planet!!! lmao. |

| This was okay. Much better than the garbage from last week. So I'll be sticking with this, at least for now. |
| I love this series. Madoka and Lan are really likable. It was pretty amusing how mech fights can sometimes be comical. Preventing damage to the city, and singing while fighting. I don't know any other main lead mech pilot can do that. She shows got spunk! |
| I just love how optimistic and determined Madoka is, it's simply inspiring. I'm wondering why piloting the robot Madoka is in charge now is considered such a dangereous thing and what's up with the ominous prophecy mentioned at the end. Anyway, that's affirming my suspicion that there are ugly trues lying beneath the pretty surface, maybe even literally, since the vox has been located under the ocean for a long time as it seems. I like the fact that the opponents Madoka had to face aren't stereotypical villains but have their own good reasons to act like they did, or at least it is hinted at by Kirius. The BGM was fantastic once again, it really got my blood boiling. |
 |
| One thing is for sure Makoka can't sing, she was enjoying her song tho. Which almost looked like she was drunk, yet funny as hell. I wonder if the legend Lan was referring to had anything to do with the legend the prisoner was talking about near the end or something else. I wonder what scared Lan so much. Also who exactly is Lan since the referred to her as Hime she must be someone importuned. |
| hey guys can someone please upload the .ass file for this episode? |
| I wasn't really all that excited about this series untill this episode, but now I'm hooked. Can't wait to see Madoka really go on the offensive! |
| <img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/b8l5af.jpg" /> |
| God, I love the reaction of aliens to human behavior. Reminds me a bit of Ideon. Only this time, the alien guy got confused by Madoka's stupid moves. Loved the scene when she tried to choke that guy's mech and he got all confused and thought it was a special attack. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| I'm glad the legend is what it is. About how the three Voxes would eventually destroy the universe (that's what I gathered from it). I'm fine with that because I know it won't happen. When they kept referring to the "legend" earlier in the episode about the "fate of people who pilot a Vox" I thought it was going to be something like a death sentence. Kind of like "You get great power and can help people but then you die at an accelerated rate." Any way, Madoka's singing destroyed my world this episode. In the best way possible. MARU |

| Those Hollywood-phrases and sentences were really childlike on few occasions, and made me facepalm, but this is a lighthearted show so I shouldn't put realism in it. Nice episode. |
