First half boring, a lot of" star trek physics" - but the one real takeaway is that military dress girl is an unfinished character from the MC's world. That is why she knew him. So I expect to see his catgirl character showing up to take possession of him soon.

Second half was better. Glad to see a male character show up - was thinking they would all be female, glad they weren't.

Magic Girl was well done. She is like a snowflake coming up against reality for the first time, she couldn't accept that the someone would continue to fight after being hurt, since in her world, no one ever is. If the writers want, they can do some awesome character development with her from here on out. A cynical Mahou Shoujo?

So we are still waiting to see the "creators" do something, should happen next episode if they have any sense. I hope they do.



You're likely correct; Himegimi could well be a collaboration between Souta and the girl who committed suicide (or she knew him). Similarly, that catgirl we saw will likely become the key to defeating Himegimi, finished as a counter against her.

Sota's time with Celejia and Meteora allows for a nice amount of character development and explain the relationship between the real world and the worlds of fiction. It's hilarious to see Celejia interact with her creator and Sota has to be the peacemaker. The fight between Celejia and Mamika was amazing, if a bit nasty for the characters. That guy Yuuya is probably gonna be an antagonist of some sort. Hopefully Sota will find a way to smooth things over. Overall, this was a good episode and hopefully the next one will be great too.

THIS SHOW REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF MUGEN lol
A lot of different characters fighting...paint me interested. The first episode was kinda boring, but this one was really cool.
When the Mahou Shoujo girl noticed that her powers would hurt people and destroy things differently from her own world was priceless.
So now we have THE RIVAL CHARACTER THAT IS DESTINED TO LOSE TO THE MAIN PROTAG. Oh maaaaan, this one is going to be good! Guy has a persona or a spirit, like Shaman King XD

Totally love that OP! That was epic!

So many interesting fictional characters appearing in the real world. All of them introduced so far were very interesting. Mahou shoujo couldn't believe she's destroying stuff and inflicting real physical damage to her opponents. Celestia is an amazing female fighter. Meteora who is from the Library of the Thousand Miles sure can eat a lot has very powerful magic spells. And the new dude who appeared who claims he's the final boss and he has a Stand OMG was just badass. Oh, and the ED was really nice to watch. :) At the ED, did Meteora just meet a cosplayer cosplaying as her? xD

Incredible show. I'm loving this. It's so awesome. I want the next episode already. >_>;

Intriguing.
In the very beginning of ep1 the boy says he's the narrator (not the MC, so stop calling him that) aaand his telling a story... About characters coming out of stories. Given that armour girl doesn't come from any popular media source in that world, I'm guessing there's even more layers (multilayered shit as Rem points out), the future also being a possibility. It's safe to assume that she and the boy are somehow connected plus they're the only characters to travel between worlds... although I really hope it doesn't turn into one of those "MC finds he's got a hidden power" shows, cause that would be tooooo cliche.
And now we wait to see just how meta this will get.

Also, that sneky looking girl from the op seems like a hilarious character.

Yep, he said so himself in the 1st episode that he's not the MC, he's just the narrator of the story, that happens to be involved directly with the plot. Just an extra acting as the narrator.

I can't figure out whether this is a deconstruction anime or just and anime with deconstruction themes. Deconstructions are when common archetypes are placed into a more realistic setting, and this is literally taking common template characters and putting them into the real world. I already knew this was gonna be a meta show when I read the description, but I'm looking forward to seeing more of the concepts they dive into.

I love how the characters aren't limited to anime and manga but also come from video games.
It's interesting to see how these different genres of stories interact and clash with each other; Mamika being traumatized by the violence she caused was a real eye-opener, and now with Yuuya in the scene, it's probably gonna get even more delightful.
It's also interesting to see the characters want to meet their creators and give them a piece of their mind. I really hope the show continues to stretch out its potential to the absolute fullest, since it has the most I've seen in a while, and since it's an original anime, then it's almost limitless.
One complaint I do have was the seeming lack of witnesses when there's a big fight happening, seeing as how the city was completely barren when Celestia and Mamika were fighting. But, since they're pretty much fighting out in the open with no regard for secrecy, I'm sure it'll cause a stir soon enough. Overall, this was a really good episode with lots of good interaction and exposition.

P.S.: I want a poster of Celestia's photo.

Her creator said that she's reached the limit of what she can do without her mecha (vogelkavalier).

Next episode, judging by PV3. Rest of cast will likely show up as well. Demon girl with the yellow eyes is pretty creepy.

Seems like they're taking meta and having the characters deconstruct each others' metas to varying extents. Celesia's takedown of Mamika was pretty good, and has cemented this show as "must watch" material for me.

Action is still amazing but overall this was just an ok episode for me. The idea of meeting your creator sounds like a terrible idea.


I found that the OP matched poorly with its visuals. My only true criticism of the show so far.

Re: "meeting creator sounds terrible." I think that's the point. This anime revolves around that idea, what it means to have free will, "revenge against the gods," and the concept of "meeting your maker/self insert" more generally. Meteora's opinion of "we have to return to our worlds" is one side of this, and the least belligerent. Other opinions will undoubtedly be debated throughout the show; who would willingly return to their world, knowing that in doing so they would be stripped of their free will and awareness, dominated by an unseen hand?

Himegimi is on the polar opposite of the scale, masking an effort to achieve dominion in the world of the gods with a unifying "revenge upon the gods" call to justice. Mamika is more towards the center of the scale, believing that she can exert force to get her creator to rewrite her world. Celesia is to further to the center, wanting to negotiate, while both Yuuya and (judging by PV3) Chikuko seem to represent a third take that wishes to remain in the world, free of constraints.

Plot:
Liked the way this is turning. I thought that all the cast would be MCs so I found Yuuya (the violet hair guy) really refreshing, also the russian/german like character looked really cool. Though, being more critic, i found the reactions of Celestia and Meteora to discovering that themselves and their respective worlds were created by the whims of a human a little too mild.

Music:
Like last time nice OP, I quite liked gravity walls. This time they cut it to 1:30 as usual and I found the end a little abrupt but still, it was good. Sadly I found the ED way below my expectations, at least in Aldnoah I preferred (by a big margin) Aliez than Heavenly Blue.
At the end I found that the song I liked the most was the inserted song, featured both in this and the previous episode.

I'm assuming that's Himegimi was created by the glasses girl in episode 1, who is Souta's sister or close friend. That girl (let's call her Girl A) collaborated with Souta to make the character "Himegimi"- perhaps Girl A made the story, and Souta drew the artwork. Himegimi is upset because her story was left unfinished after Girl A commit suicide, and she potentially wants Souta to finish it. I'd also imagine that if this was the case, Himegimi is bitter and resentful towards the creators, hence her wanting a revolution.

I can't feel anything about this series just yet. I couldn't grasp all the information at once. The first half was making me bored so I didn't pay any real attention to the second half so I didn't know what happened, really. Especially why this girl (with love attacks) attacked this woman (that lost with sword). Look at me, I couldn't even remember the names. It was an okay episode for me, the fight scene saved it. Also thank God that Souta isn't the MC and the kind, please make him only to narrate, because he's not interesting at all.

Looking at the OP I am already forming opinions about some of the characters already. Girl with the slasher smile = keep away with a 10 foot pole unless absolutely necessary. Magical girl : Potential Madoka Tomoe 2.0 psychotic break down here. Yuya might ally himself with Himegime just for the lolz seeing as to how he is by nature somewhat inclined to be evil. The old man with the gun= potential 3rd party with his own agenda.

The second episode at least does not disappoint, we already seeing how chaotic the situation can be, how differently the characters will take stock on how their worlds are dictated on the whim of a writer at the stroke of a pen. Problem here is that even if the creators decides to change their stories for the better, it might create other backlashes. The characters as they are now might cease to exists or even worse assuming if the story world's existence depends on the interests of the readers's to continue (like how a writer will only write if there is money to be made). Then a bland and uninteresting story where everyone lives happily ever after with no hardships will potentially doom the world in question.

P.S : If a character's power is dictated by their creators, then I can only assume that Himegime's power to transcend reality and fiction is given to her by her creator from the start. Maybe her entire story was one where a fictional character realized that her entire existence is one big drama show, written by (maybe) the girl in glasses in a moment of depression.

PPS : Perhaps even more interesting will be how the creator's themselves might influence the real world through their writing, now that the characters are arriving into the real world. Writing a chapter about them in it might influence events in the real world as well, like maybe Selejia's creator might help her by recreating the giant mecha in the real world by just writing it down.

The OP and ED were top notch. I loved the use of another Sawano Hiroyuki song, seriously the only thing good about the disastrous Aldnoah series.

I'm betting that the animators enjoyed the shit out of getting to play with so many different genres of characters, but to be honest it's starting to become a bit of a clutter here. What I do appreciate though, is the fact that each character understands that the world that they're from is fundamentally different from that of the other characters. That little talk about Mamika's world not having pain or blood whilst Celestia's does was one of the highlights for me in terms of understanding how each of the girls think. I get the feeling that Mamika's brain is going to fry what with her initial settings not being compatible with the destruction that she's wreaking.

That said, the new dude, Yuuya, looks the type to not care where he is and will enjoy killing things regardless. Worried how his appearance will affect the rest of this battle. And just whose side is he on anyway?

It's not so much that Mamika's world had no pain or blood, since she was clearly aware of what those were, it's that her powers don't usually cause damage to people. Similarly to Meotora, whose restoration magic didn't work, the world obviously messes with their abilities somewhat.

That said, the new dude, Yuuya, looks the type to not care where he is and will enjoy killing things regardless. Worried how his appearance will affect the rest of this battle. And just whose side is he on anyway?


I'm looking forward to seeing how Mamika will deal with someone bearing unreasonable and selfish malice towards her, like Yuya.

I lost count of the times the fourth wall was broken during this episode.

Mamika is like a Madoka/Sakura/Nanoha fusion, was funny how the Mahpou Shoujo tropes were used (even befriends)

buyusetna said:

thats how its works on her world, she attacks people who disagree to her and eventually makes them submit to her after defeating to her since people cant be killed in her magical girl show for kids world. she thought selestia as villain


Indeed, AKA the Nanoha way.
Just shoot up some Starlight Breakers man. Instant friends

It was a decent episode, I was interested by the conflicting laws of each character's respective worlds. Mamika being confronted by the harsh reality that she never had to experience in her own world was good to see, and I liked seeing just how different everyone's ideologies and methodologies were as a result of their setting and world story.

On a separate note, people have been noting how there seems to be an MC side vs Himegimi side, and while I don't mind it really, I would still be sad to not see any of the other characters, like Mamika, Blitz, Alisteria and Makagami, ever get to have normal interactions with the MC's side.
Even going off of the ending, it seems pretty likely there will be sides, though perhaps they're just avoiding showing the other four until the second ED? A guy can hope I suppose.
I just hope that the four who are ostensibly on Himegimi's side get an equal amount of spotlight and focus because they all interest me to some degree. I'd especially like to see Himegimi's story

While I enjoyed the episode, it feels like this show is bleeding potential. Selejia and Meteora seem to have gotten accustomed to modern Japan far too quickly, and did not interact with the general citizenry. We missed out on a great chance to explore their light novel and game respectively, and instead were given an unwarranted philosophical dissertation on how alternate worlds might arise. Souta's script is also too generic despite having some interesting qualities to his background and interests. I'm quite worried that the show will run out of steam from burning away interesting content it could have explored.
