----------------------------------------
Welp, I think they are really trying to push the budget into the action scenes. I mean, we have the cat girl facing off against her opponent in a variety of ways.

So much for their peaceful family life. Found a few of the scenes comical though from the episode like this one:

RIP Uri though :<

I didn't expect to be any death to be in the anime, my goodness and it's deja-vu seeing the episode number. Nyaa-tan really shouldn't have fought Chuu-tan seeing how powerful she was even in her adult form and the chain sword with it's ungodly range didn't help, she got owned so badly by her and Uri-tan died because of her recklessness.

What the hell did I just......? Uri-tan is gone...... Oh f*** noooo! D: Is it going to happen to the other Eto-shin too? >.>

And what could be the reason why Chuu-tan hates Nyaa-tan so much?

I don't really get how you can say that.

Uri-tan came behind that rat and basically crashed with the sword just when the
rat drew it back for a strike. True, the reason Uri-tan was there was to save Nyaa-tan, but
Nyaa-tan can't be blamed for Uri-tan's exceptionally bad timing.
(she probably won't see it that way)

Such a cute little boar...

I didn't like the shift between anime and SMASHBROS mode in the first 2 episodes but I'm getting used to it now. It's not great and feels incredibly awkward but the graphics in SMASHBROS mode look nice and chibi.

Didn't expect this series to be the kind to kill a character off. It's just a shame that I knew so little about the character that I simply didn't care less that she died. Credit for trying, though.

And I wonder what the rat's grudge is all about. Not as though it will get revealed until the final episode or something though.

Is there a trend making episode 3 the cursed episode now? Mami, Kisaragi, and now Uri-tan. And this one seemed so light hearted I wouldn't have expected an actual death. Now I'm going to be scared of watching episode 3s in the future in case some likable character just dies...

That was certainly unexpected...

Dunno if it was a good move though. This is passable as comedy, but as drama it's kinda on the (very) stupid side...

Shock value? more like "meh" value.

Dropping a show just because of Uri-tan death in ep 3 imo is not a valid reason to do so.
Etotama is nothing like Madoka nor tries to be like it. It's much lighthearted and doesn't have the drama that Madoka has. They have almost nothing in common.

I think, but you do as you please, that this Anime is rather unique and is being well animated as well as the story is fun there for you should keep watching.


Uri-tan was my favorite character so far , I hope she reincarnates like Nya-tan did dess dess~

Everything is a valid reason for dropping a show. You know that's how opinions work. Death of a character = instant drop from me, no matter how "unique" anime is.

Dess Dess girl's "death" came out of nowhere. Not sure how to feel about that. I think she'll make a return though. This show is too energetic for character deaths.

Chibi CGI battles are still pretty awesome! Chu-tan's grudge against the Cat-clan is still unknown. She might turn good later on though.

Decent episode. Nice eyepatch cards as usual.

So the rat really hates the cat.
And it must be pretty severe seeing how far she is willing to go to destroy the cat.
But it seems it was the boar that was killed and not the cat.

Meaning no more desu desu next episode.

I swear this show doesn't take itself seriously either.
Starts off by building a house and explaining that it happened between episodes one and two.
Mind = blown
4th wall = broken

Then all the ridiculous storyline, which amounted to nothing but buying a fridge and sesame oil.

Ending with a battle between the busty Chu-tan and the Cat, only to be voided when Uri-tan runs in and stumbles onto Chu-tan's sword. Cue wind blowing in desolate desert sound....

I wonder if we'll never see Uri again. I mean, Eto needs to collect all 12 pins right? If Uri died, then doesn't that mean she'll never get the Boar pin? We might as well end the show right this episode, no?

I assume either they revive her, or they bring in another Boar, which wouldn't make much sense. Considering how serious this show takes itself..... I think I could also see them just bringing her back as if nothing happened (hey, they DID break the 4th wall, why not a 5th one, eh?)

The way things go in this show, I totally wouldn't be surprised if Chu-tan's grudge against the Cat really WAS something as stupid as eating her puddin'.

huee.. uri-tan~~ i loved her from the very first time, but to think that she, a loli and my zodiac to be the first to die in such a lame way... this is really breaking my heart~
what? is episode 3 really a good episode to kill someone or what?!

too bad nyaa and uri wasn't much of a fighter, they are just kids and taking it all for fun. if it was me, with nyaa's strength, she could've pull chu's extended sword, pulling her to her with it, and when the range is good enough, beat that bastard rat to pulp... seriously, a single extended sword like that is actually a suicide weapon when it is used to grab something...

hue... i hope they will make another loli for replacement for the boar... i can't enjoy it without my zodiac in it... yeah, just a replacement for the boar, not for uri-tan....

Wow, the animation for the 3D fight scenes are so much nicer than the regular animation lol XD Chu-tan finally appears and they start battling it out already?! Man I didn't expect that to happen so soon :O Uri-tan intervenes and she gets taken out ... again, something else I didn't think would happen. Is she really gone for good? O_O I guess her and Nya-tan aren't really as strong as Chu-tan obviously ... with that super OP sword and everything :S
Oh well ... I guess we'll see what happens next episode. The mystery is why Chu-tan hates the cat clan so much ... obviously Nya-tan doesn't remember a thing. Seems like she was "reincarnated" or something? :O

Well the Dess Dess is dead nuuuuuuuuu!
(she'll probably be reincarnated in a comedic way in a later episode, where the cast is like "oh didn't you die in episode 3?")
Speaking of 4th wall breaking, the beginning of the episode was kinda cute; with the cast trying to explain stuff left unchecked via fourth wall breaking.
I kinda chuckled when she got stabbed, but didn't think they'd actually "kill" her though so i had mixed feelings at the scene. (i mean the show isn't exactly the most "serious" of shows)
