| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, I thought the outfits were kinda cute this episode. I almost got a Samurai Flamenco vibe. Too bad Cecil had to get herself captured... Oh well, can't be helped. Shit did get a bit real though but I'm not used to the CGI yet still. That chicken is kinda funny and I think might get along with the frog :o. I'm more curious about Sasori this episode though as the way she was behaving seemed a bit strange.. |

| Bad guy: Our goal is... Me: World domination lol :D Bad guy:...world domination! Me: *facepalm* well fuck. Those kids sure took the death of their teacher pretty well. Not to mention those SWAT guys presumably dying left and right. Do Umetsu's shows always have the mood all over the place? The only other one I've watched is Galilei Donna, and even there I think it wasn't that bad. |
| Okay ep. Nice fan service with that Rack :3 But all I cared about was Moyo. Who the hell is she???? Dat time stopping technique was OP HAX LEVEL XD Her smile at the end gave me chills too O_o? |
 |
| Those outfits they were wearing lol. Moyo coming in to save Cecil again. Really want to know what her story is about. So Shizumu is actually a wizard. This is getting interesting. |
 |
| Lol those outfits. Moyo saves Cecil, with time manipulation Her smile at the end.. What's her deal? (She working with Shizumu?) Shizumu trying to awaken her powers.. meh. |
 |

| Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, episode 6 happened. It was simply bad, animation-, plot- and dialogue wise. |

| It was neat to see the wizards at their daily lives XD Still, meh episode for me. Felt sort of out of place. Moyo is being her hack self, it seems. We already knew about that cop. What power did Cecil awaken, anyway? Also... That chicken was cute XD I wonder what rolls familiars play... They seem to be there for some reason, to any type of wud, even the new ones. "You can't just run around in public with a rocket launcher!" |
 |
| Moyo was awesome, but she seems to be hiding something. Maybe she's working with Shizumu? |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| The way Natsuna answered then ran out in a hurry makes me think she does have a boyfriend. While Cecil was being held hostage everyone else was enjoying their Saturday :P Sekai Seifuku LOL "She's got it where it counts" The kid is right and her face is awesome ;) Fuck you teacher. Time manipulation magic 0_0 She is totally Cecil's protector for whatever reason. So the inspector is a WUD, he's hiding it well, but I wonder what Macal is? |
| Bambi Red is Flamenco. |

| I will refrain from commenting on this series until something more "commentable" occurs. At this point, it will just be a rant.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Very interesting episode indeed. Moyo stopping time and all? im looking forward to how this develops. |
| EP 1 Moyo: You're working too hard, Cecilun. Cecil: Well, you can't stop time. Moyo: I'll have to find a way to stop it for you, then. |
 |
| I hope Moyo's not evil :( World domination? I'd take Hoshimiya Kate more seriously than that guy lmao. Uh..the terrorist guy said they awakened Cecil's power. Exactly what kind of power up this time? Might have missed it. Her diaboloid's an old magic and the other one is that sand manipulation thingy so...? |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
xchee said: Probably referring to her "deflecting" that bullet. Nobody saw Moyo redirect it, so as far as he knows she did it herself, maybe even unconsciously.Uh..the terrorist guy said they awakened Cecil's power. Exactly what kind of power up this time? Might have missed it. Her diaboloid's an old magic and the other one is that sand manipulation thingy so...? |
| So anyone else notice that it didn't look like there was anywhere for Cecil to change in private? |
 |
| Stopping time is a pretty broken power :/ |
| Really weak episode, just when I started to think this show was getting better. Those kids seemed really traumatized by seeing their teacher getting killed - laughing happily about them being heroes :/ Urgh |
| Nice ranger outfits, Koki looked cute, kind of weird you don't see the mouths of the familiars moving when talking The visuals were stunning and spectacular, I'm not a fan of the Ultraman fights though Moyo showed her time stop magic and Shizumu background of being a wud and dark is a nice reveal |
| finally, the drop in animation quality... feels like many people died in this episode oh that girl from Mezzo made a cameo too :) |

| Glad I caught up to this show. Since other people are comparing good things to bad, I will too. Good: I like the stories relating to magic, law and all that stuff. It's a mystery anime at the same time as sci-fi and magic. I also enjoy the designs of the building, characters and scenery. They're well done. Also, I'm quite liking the subplots going on, like her mothers retrial, the evilness behind the police, the time travel girl... Bad: Main character is obviously the most important character and fits the "The One" trope perfectly. I don't like the idea of her obtaining new powers every single episode. While, I do like her getting some character development, she still manages to act like a 12 year old and this episode really accentuates that, as she risked a bunch of children for her not to break a law. The fanservice is a bit weird at times too, but I guess it was expected. |
| Meh i'm still not very fond of the mecha fights, the rest was good though. The fan service outfits :3 the male cop being a WaB, i didn't see that coming. |
| Moyo's magic is OP xD |
 |
| Oh development?! |
 |
| Ehh that was a passable episode I guess. Strange superhero costumes. |
 |
| cecil always winds up in the craziest situations ;_; best part of the ep was moyoyo stopping time my god easily my fav character ;_; each ep needs more moyoyo tbh |
| Multiple plot holes in this episode. For starters, since the terrorist group is working for the big bad secret generic society who wants Cecil to get awaken to more powers, then their goal was to take her along with the hostages. How the hell did they know to crash into that exact building at the exact time Cecil was walking beside it? Did they know precisely how the police would block off the area? Did they choose that building simply because Cecil was near it, and if so, how did they know there would be additional people in the building to take hostage? Secondly, and this is an even bigger problem, the head of the terrorist group knows who Cecil is and wants to see her get new powers, so why does he shoot at her? There's no way he could have known that Moyoyo would show up at the perfect time to stop the bullet. That would require him not only knowing that Moyoyo could not only automatically get into the building without anyone noticing, but that she also had a time freeze ability. So, if Moyoyo hadn't shown up, Cecil would be dead. Why would he want to kill someone that he was tasked with helping gain additional powers? Finally, the head terrorist mentions that Cecil gained awoke to a new magic ability, which is the reason that all of these Wuds are committing these crimes, but she didn't awake to a new power in this episode. Was it a mistranslation or did they just do all of that for nothing and not even realize it? Umetsu should only make ninety-minute action movies. He simply isn't a good enough story teller to go on for any length of time. He's got a great handle on action scenes, but he's quite bad at practically everything else. |
| The statue suddenly cracking cracked me up. LMAO. It was so bad it's good... then the cops showed up. From there on it's just bad. |

Oh that's interesting....it's been foreshadowed. I'm guessing no one knows Moyo's powers and she didn't have to register it. Hmm wonder what's up with Moyo, she doesn't seen like an antagonist, but she also kind of did at the end. |
| Samurai Flamenco xD I don't like these ranger outfits... Really, one of thing that piss me off in this anime are character design... Strange hairstyles, strange clothes... Really I know main character must be single out, but 6 episode and I still can't get used to this... Story is pretty cool, so I will keep watching this anime xD maybe I will get used to character |
    |
| Not that I disliked the episode, but this is the first episode to actually lower my expectations for the series. It was just too predictable. It was obvious that Shizumu was in league with those guys, and I knew either she was going to hear the conversation and he'd kill her, or he'd kill those guys. I also didn't like that teacher pushing the children out of the way to flee... but I saw that coming the instant he said "I'll protect you all! I'll even sacrifice myself for you!". But it might've been more humorous/infuriating if I hadn't already seen that scene repeated in so many things. Anyway, glad he died. I did like seeing that chicken familiar, though. Dunno why but I just really like the familiars. I'm gonna be really pissed if Moyo turns out to be bad, like I've feared for a few episodes now. Mainly just because she's my favorite character thus far. But it's interesting to see that she has time magic... because I was a little confused a few episodes back when the previous guy who kidnapped Cecil was completely unnerved by Moyo. VanishingKira said: Hmm, well I think like Cecil said the other times she had to use them as well. But here, if she resisted the children might've been killed, and she was probably counting on the police working things out since they were there this time. And of course there's all the trouble at her work adding to her motivation.And really the one time she decide not to use her magic was the time she should have.What a complete dimwit of a MC. |

| 5/5 Episode far more convincing, there is much more involvement in the story and a bit of ecchi, I like the imprint of Umetsu. Plot that moves forward, maintaining an air of mystery, that's great, I thought it was a goner the series. Design and improved animations, yay! The series has recovered points! * _ * Nice episode because it gave way to characterize the characters and get to know the peculiarities of Moyoyon. |
 |
| they are making moyo seem like she has something sinister up her sleeve. I hope isn't a 'bad guy' |
| Hey it's Mikura from Mezzo Forte at 10:24 or a cosplay of her but then these are both Yasuomi Umetsu character designs so I think it isn't that strange. Wow Moyo can stop time! I wonder if she's part of Macal like Shizumu? I don't think she is but I'm also curious to what her motive is. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| The kids sure weren't scared at all |
| 'worst' episode in terms of how much i enjoyed it.. but tbh this was just a fan service maybe a little fillerish? so will not judge as long as it just presses on with the plot with episode 7! |
