| Eugh. For some of the animation, they became plain lazy. Like, hair flowing in the wind and such was on an obvious loop-- a really choppy loop at that. No one seems to care though, so hey I guess they got away with it. I already know a lot of people here don't pay attention to the animation as much as they let on. They usually just pay attention to just the art style choice or animation style and decide to critique them as if the animation itself is "bad". Or really, it's usually people not knowing the correct terminology and just saying the animation's bad because they don't know how else to say something like, "I don't like the art style or the animation direction". But anyway, it's whatever. They cut corners. The tone of the show is dark and gritty and they're really gonna throw as much gore and violence in as they can it seems. I mean hey. I would have loved to see more of the magical girls before they died though. Dang. Their designs seemed cool. :C I'm actually kinda scared of this show. I can't really trust it. I can't really sit easy.;; It's gonna make me stay on my toes. I don't always like that type of thing, but I'll stick with it. |
| This is honestly the hypest show of the season for me. I can't fucking wait for episode 2! |

Good episode. It does feel a bit generic on the pacing, but I enjoyed it from the end. I think it's the animation which really dampens the experience. There's some derpy moments and some of the characters are too round. Asuka is also much more thicc in this Anime compared to the Manga. I thought she was a loli honestly in the manga.    Honestly, it's still great to see Dark Mahou Shoujo shows. It's an interesting twist and we need more of this and Madoka etc. I'll give it a go! I'm a sucker for blood and gore and there seems to be little to no censorship(even showed parent's hands of Asuka). Can't wait! |

| Really liked this first episode, shows how much potential can have magical girl animes, now instead of weird aliens, they fight against real world terrorists. I'll have to handle my sickness for excessive blood, though. The animation is relatively decent, but the proportions of Asuka are extremely amorphous, like she's way too wide. I don't understand why the rating is 6,67, but this is MAL so nothing missed here. |

| War....War never changes. Even if the otherwordly enemy has been defeated, even if the aliens from another world have stopped their invasion, war still goes on: Terrorists, Zealots, Drug Lords, Gun Dealers, Madmen. Yeah, this is the magical girl setting I asked for. |
 |
| I like the gore but the plot is over the place. It seems that this will be just Release the Spyce with magical girls, gore and PTSD. I hope I am wrong. The others two girls from the school are very annoying. They must die. Also, the scene with the middle aged smoker was very stupid lmao. So, they're done fighting magical threats and the show occurs after winning a war, magical girls vs generic villains? Well, we'll see what happens. |

| Being a magical girl it's never easy...the anime industry its really into the dark side of magical girls since Madoka. Asuka is very likeable. |
 |
| I couldn't help but laugh at the introduction scene: what are those Disa monster things? At least there are other enemies, or so it seems. The op is cool enough. Surprisingly the music played during the battle against the old dude fit well imo.Agreed. Everyone says they are kinda strange but I loved them. Asuka is quite pretty too. |
 |
| I only tried this because this was the only way I could hear Rieri this season; I don't watch mecha(=Revisions) so this was it. It's clearly a bit shit though so I'm not anticipating much. |
| It seems like the Disas has formed some sort of alliance with some terrorists organizations just like the Spirit Realm's alliance with the UN. |

| The Disas are like Tediz from Conker's Bad Fur Day (video game). |

| Seems pretty good! Glad I checked it out so far. |

| Jeez, the edge in this episode was almost surreal, especially with the parents sudden scene... but it was still way more bearable than Mahou Shoujo Site's first episode... ugh. Anyways, it was an entertaining first episode. Asuka seems to be an interesting character and her design is quite appealing to the eye as well. I don't know about other people but I really liked her eyes... It also seems that she might have PTSD due to the war she had to deal with, which honestly, caught my attention and made me wonder how they will handle that topic in the next episodes. Overall, it was a decent start and now, let's see how much dark this anime can be. P.S.: The OST used was catchy as hell, by the way. I actually liked it a lot. |
| Haha, this was hilarious. |
| Heyyy, I like this C: esp the feet slicing lol now Bookworm knows what Asuka-chan means by escapism. So sad tho :( |
| Ok first thing I gotta ask is, how old is Asuka, she can't be older than 17, does that mean she was already fighting monsters at age 14? Well, I guess a typical age when it come to magical girls shows. And boy, she is already killing people mercilessly at such a young age, that kill on the first dude was fucking rad. Overall this seems like is gonna be one of those edgy and trashy fanservice shows that are totally my thing, can't wait to see those bikini episodes. One last thing, Asuka's breasts are gigantic, jesus. |
 |
| Pretty good first episode. All that blood and gore surprised me. I like Asuka's personality and character design. She's very beautiful. |
