| Man this episode is crazy! I feel like the plot is already there, but it hasn't surfaced all the way. So i'm still kind of like "Wtf this is so random" but in a good way. It looks like the villains were introduced, and their leader looks like he is apart of the KKK. I do hope they explain the mechanics of the world, because I'm pretty confused when it comes to the transforming, and other things. |

| I have no words to describe this episode. That transformation sequence!! I didn't see that coming, Pure Barrier and Pure Blade, precure references I think. |
| Loved everything about this episode. But i felt as if i missed a couple episodes or something. Like they transformed and used that power rangers weapon out of nowhere. I thought there would be episodes of discovering their powers and learning to use them :P Still a great episode though <3 |
| This episode was amazing. It's a shame this show is so unrecognized... The KKK guys are finally here lol |
| I was so confused but this episode was pretty good xD |

| Now this is some "sick" episode. "Sickingly" fun because full of action and punches it is. LOL |

| Damm this episode was so random as fuck, it felt like I missed six episodes, but it was still so awesome. Going from Hokuto no Ken to Futari wa Precure while fighting Panty and Stocking. I need these drugs man. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| I thought this anime like "Alice in wonderland ",two girls wandering in imaginary worlds, but its not, The plot changed to more seriously one , it's really a blast of imagination, The animation style is amazing, I hope we will get a good story |

| Precure, Gainax, Ken parody, etc. - this episode was packed and an amazign mix of all the right ingredients. And unlike other shows that try their hands on a complex narrative, this is def. more on the FLCL than the Concrete Revolutio side and better for it. |
| Jojolion anime when? |
| I have absolutely no idea what's going on... but I loved it, that was insane ! Never thought I'd like this show that much, the animation is just the best thing I've seen this year ! |
| I have no idea what the fuck just happened, but that looked amazing! I'm pretty sure the writers were cross faded while writing this so the animation staff was trusted to hold onto all the money, and then they just spent it all on themselves. |
| I feel like this is going somewhere, but I don't know what exactly. Art and animation splendid as usual. Really like the sound effects/foley - they fit in with the art nicely. |
| I need sleep. |
| LOL and i thought JoJos Bizzare adventure was already bizzarre I'm Calling it: "Papika's Bizzare Adventure" xDDD |

| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| I can forgive the crappy characters and lack of a plot as long as they keep giving us interesting worlds and great animation. And I actually like that this show doesn't bother to explain anything or you know...make any sense. Unfettered nonsense can often have the most room to spread it's artistic wings. animefan8800 said: Well that sure felt random. Lotsa crazy anime and film references. Star Wars, Mad Max, Dragon Ball, magical girls, etc... I wonder how many MAL users actually got the Mad Max and Star Wars references. |
 |
| Mad Max!!! and the KKK guys remind me of Hellsing Ultimate. So far it seems like there are two competing organizations to obtain that stuff from inside Pure Illusion. And Cocona and Papika are two very special agents with a unique power. Hopefully we find out soon what the stuff they obtain is used for.... Did they mention that already, I'm drawing the biggest blank. |

first off, holy sexuality. i thought this was a kids show. the sexual context with that chick that looks like meruem from hunterxhunter surprised me. 2nd off, the fight scene between cocona and papika was amazing. it was so intense and so awesome. 3rdly, those transformations!!! and finally,  Also, i'm obsessed with the twins' voices. their voices are so soft. Overall, by far my most favorite episode. 2nd ep had me for the visuals and colors but the action and humor in this really stood out. Those blue guys cracked me up. |

| If it ever get released in West on Blu Ray, i have to get it, those visuals, as for episode, can mix of Dragon Ball, Kill La Kill, Ku Klux Klan and Precure can be bad? |
| You were awesome, Rakugo, but you have been surpassed (for now anyway). This is now front-runner for AoTY. I feel sad for those who can't see or don't understand the glory before them. |
 |
| This week was much more entertaining than the first two I must say, if only by virtue virtue of being a pure sakuga festival. I'm also glad the show did change its formula and proposed a more busy and action-packed episode, which I believe suits the style of this series a lot better than the more contemplative approach adopted in previous episodes. Pure Illusion really seems like a world that was made to be actively and constantly interacted with, so it's only natural that Cocona and Papika's adventures would become wilder and wilder as the story progresses. I still have no idea where said story is supposed to take us, nor am I particularly invested in our two magical main girls at the moment, but I'm nevertheless eager to see what else the staff (especially the animators) have in store for us.

| I don't care if the story seems incoherent to some people, I'm loving every second of it. |
 |
| It was random but I liked it, it's enjoyable and the art is pretty |

| @HaiiroTama @Everyone who apparently has their brain turned off This show IS far from nonsensical/incoherent/incomprehensible. I don't understand why you and so many people are having trouble grasping the simple and basic concepts. One girl is a school girl who is living within a shell of herself. Being the ideal girl/student, basically living the sheep life. Another girl, who presumably grew up in a lab/research group or was (partially) created by a lab/research group, is searching for a partner. This partner is needed for her to explore the world of pure illusion. Several of the details of this have not been revealed yet, obviously, but this is basic fantasy/mahou shoujo stuff. The second girl breaks the first out of her shell, etc, etc. Now, the world of pure illusion represents a dream-like world. It is quite possibly even another dimension, etc. Basically, it is detached from the other world. These girls can't become "magical" in the normal world (where the story begins). They only become "magical" in the world of illusion. Basically, like a lucid dream dimension. Each time they enter, it is a different world, as dreams are different each time. They are gathering these crystals/gems/whatever to bring back to their research group. Their use is unknown at this time. There is now a rival organization also searching for these gems. The world of illusion idea gives all of these animators the freedom to create their own dream-like stories, universes, art, animation, references, etc. It is artistic freedom in an industry that restricts it so much. I mean, seriously everyone. This shit is extremely easy to follow. Enjoy the illusion ride and we will see how the other elements tie-in. |

| Beginning reminded me of Star Wars...that desert planet and weird glowing eye creatures xD The transformation scene was on point, and them twins look great <3 |
 |
| Woah, that flashy transformation sequence. This episode started so randomly, but it was damn enjoyable. |
  |
| This show is an awesome burst of creative energy, and this was the best episode yet. I like the diversity of environments that Pure Illusion provides. So far every chapter has been so fun to watch due largely to the personality each of these worlds has. The amount of interesting and wacky characters introduced in this episode alone would fill half an average series' runtime, yet here they're delivered in just twenty frenetic minutes. Pure Illusion = Pure entertainment. They're revealing just enough of the overall plot to provide some intrigue, but really, they can unravel it as slowly as they want as long as the individual anecdotes remain this charming. |
KingYoshi said: Thank you for reminding @Everyone (RIP in pieces poor lad/lass who'll get ping'd outta nowhere) of the bare bones of the story that everyone and their dog probably already caught on. Obviously I'm not completely excluding the possibility that I might be wrong, but I'd wager what most people here consider random is the actual content of all these expedition to Pure Illusion, which, believe it or not, does represent a pretty darn significant part of the show.I mean, seriously everyone. This shit is extremely easy to follow. Enjoy the illusion ride and we will see how the other elements tie-in. Note that it doesn't in itself necessarily constitute a criticism, as more and more about the world and the different factions within it may (and probably will) be explained in the future and the very whimsical and abstract vibes the show gives are definitely part of its appeal, but so far I'd say the comments about the randomness of each vignette we've been presented thus far are perfectly warranted. |

| That world was rather bumpy. animefan8800 said: Well that sure felt random. Lotsa crazy anime and film references. Star Wars, Mad Max, Dragon Ball, magical girls, etc... perhaps mostly though, for me, Space Dandy what with all the unique worlds. While I definitely saw Mad Max type stuff in there, for some reason, given the dry sand, the masked villagers, and the pitifully inadequate well, when Cocona and Papika first started fighting this was what popped into my head: ... ... ... (and here I thought I had erased that from my memory...) |
 |
| We going Mad Max now boys. In general this reminds me a lot of Space Dandy (in that its about a group of people traveling to other worlds to collect, and that every episode is different from the last). Helps that the animation director(?) for this worked on that series as well. |

| Holy crap this episode actually was pretty mad max but even more!, it's like if you put sailor moon mad max dragon ball z and kill la kill all in one episode i loved the fight animation was waiting for a real fight. And i guess it's safe to say this is kinda a tone shift i'm sure there will be some more carefree adventures but that one scene when concoa got the mask put on her was unexpected bit more intense than what you would think is a kids show at first glance. Flip Flappers keeps surprising me i'm just gonna think of it as Kyousou Giga where it won't make a lot of sense till the end if they actually do the story right. |

Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Holy shit, some of the monsters in this series are more hideous than I had thought. The fighting felt pretty colorful and ecstatic, almost gave me a Kill la Kill-like feel. Papika is awesome but the beating she took was painful to watch especially since it was against her friend controlled by the mask. Glad Papika made a nice return at the right place at the right time though! Kokona and Papika make a good team. My favorite episode so far from this series. I need help pls! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this episode! But I gotta know: they did transform using the crystals they got from the two "missions" they made right? |
 |
| I loved the way it was exaggerated. I never feel this awake watching, last time was the action scenes in TTGL. |

| The mahou shoujo scene was fantastic. Loved it when they were making all those poses. So much sakuga in this show. This show has like no limits to what they allow and I love it. |
| Great episode, this series continues to impress! |
Sapewloth said: ... I might be wrong, ... There is no "might" about it. You are not very astute if you can't see the confusion in this thread. It is @Everyone 's fault for choosing the name, lol. Also, I like how you keep using the word "random" to try and make it seem as if you are providing a good counter argument. Go back and read through the thread or my post if you must. "Nonsensical/incoherent/incomprehensible" are the words people are using. Even aside from that, there is nothing "random" about this anime either. I guess that argument is for a future post. |
|
| Oh Man this episode was full of action. I got so many vibes from Mad Max, Gurren Lagann, Kill La Kill, Sailor Moon and so on. We also seem to have gotten a small scope of who the main villains are so I like that. Great episode, my favorite so far and I am loving this show. |
