Much better than episode 1. Actual explanations and more proper character introductions. I'm starting to actually like this show now. Hopefully it doesn't become a convoluted clusterfuck.

I enjoyed that there was explanation and some character development in this episode. I didn’t like Fukami trying to get her to quit the Granbelm war. She was very persistent and it was annoying. Also, why did it matter if the world found out because who would believe her and what would people even do about it. Mangetsu Is dumb for her reasoning for letting people use her.

I am curious as to why her mind wasn’t wiped.

Ok, I really love the atmosphere of the second episode, watched it with interest. In fact they didn't show sth eccentric or memorable but all they made is absolutely right, it's hard to explain why Granbelm hooks me so much but it's fact.

The only strange sense about Madoka-like temperances (and even appearance) of the main characters, it's weirdo. I hope that Granbelm's story will be self-sufficient in future cause I'm interested in this show

damn MC is a real ass character ,hopefully this show doesn't try to follow madoka too closely since we are in post post madoka world people need to stop chasing that and try something different( like at least it has mech's )


can say will be less likely to drop this compared to other shows this season

Mangetsu, I was a little disappointed as a character, when she said that she had nothing. I do not like when the protagonists sink into misfortune for such insignificant things. She has a serious self-esteem problem.
For that reason, I prefer Shingetsu, thinks in a mature way about the use of magic, besides, it has its adorable side 😁. I hope she wins the Granbelm.

So, it's Fate but everyone is Illya and summon mecha instead of servant.
It's okay so far, the characters are good but the fights and mecha aren't fantastic, seems like it has potential tho, plus there's no grail war in Lord El Melloi II so I guess this will do instead.

I had mixed feelings on last episode since I couldn't figure out what was going on with the action, so I had some doubt on whether to continue or not. I mean, I like magical girls, but I only decided to watch it due to friend's recommendation. I'm gonna give this three episodes or else I'll drop since I'm busy with other things and other stuff to read and watch...

Anyway, this episode was kinda okay. There were some good scenery, good music, and some interesting parts with magic being introduced which I hope will be shown into more detail soon...

There was one scene in particular that stood out to me though.

Anyone else sensed this Madoka vibe when Mangetsu said she was useless and stuff? It reminded me of the first conversations between Madoka and Homura in the beginning of the series. I have a good feeling about Granbelm, let's see how it goes. =D

Yes, I definitely was reminded of Madoka's comments about herself. However, if I remember correctly, she was saying how useless she was and how getting magical powers might give herself meaning to Mami, not Homura, in the third episode.

Nitpicking on quote aside, I really feel like this is going to be another "dark and edgy magical girl" show with that nod to Madoka. I mean, the first episode already gave me that idea with the other girls angrily screaming and fighting, but something tells me this is gonna be a show that's trying to Madoka fans, like Yuki Yuna...
Not sure if I like that or not, but hey, at least the ending of this episode had some really interesting visuals. Still not sure if I'm completely sold on this series yet, so I'll have to wait for the next episode......

LILIES! Lilies everywhere, can they be more on the nose about being a yuri anime?

Also guys don't worry about the score, you'll soon find that most of the time is useless that gives crap like kenja no mago a 6.9 and good stuff like YU-NO a 6.3.


MaahHeim said:
They had to choose lilies huh. Does this mean "We'll queerbait you guys to death" or "They're gay", I wonder. Not a bad episode.


Lilies also mean feminine innocence and purity. But, this is the original all-female anime, I do not know what the intentions of the authors were. In any case, the official illustrations were pretty teasing.

They were indeed. And I didn't know lilies meant that too, thanks for enlightening me.

@MaahHeim The subtlety is that lilies are used as a symbol of yuri, because initially platonic female bonds, and then lesbian relationship were associated with female purity and youth. Compare with the French lesbian society of the 18th century, which was called "the union of those who never marry".

But, I didn’t watch the opening and I don’t know the intentions of the authors, so maybe this is really “hey guys, this will be a yuri show!”, Lol.

Granbelm wasn't exactly at the top of my anime watchlist, but now that I've watched two episodes, I might give it a chance to shine. After the first episode's spectacular action, this episode focuses more on relationships and character moments, especially between Mangetsu and Shingetsu. The choice to become a mage is not easy for Mangetsu, who admits she has been coasting through life and sees magic as an opportunity for self-improvement. Unfortunately, Shingetsu is more cynical and thinks that Mangetsu is not cut out to be a mage. Also, that girl Anna has a personal history with Shingetsu and shapes up to be the closest thing the show has to a primary antagonist. This episode wasn't bad, but it was a bit of a letdown. Hopefully, the next episodes will be better.

This episode was definitely better than the first one as we finally got introduced to what should have already been established.
However, I still can't help but feel like I've already seen everything. There's the mc who can't do anything in her world but for some reason can do the magical stuff even though she, as far as she knows, isn't related to it, the cold raven haieed girl, the rival who tries to stop the mc from sympathizing with the black haired girl, all that...
I must admit though, I didn't expect Mangetsu to be this type of character, I thought she would be the typical optimist girl. Guess they managed to surprise me on that level.
Also, as much of an archetype as she is, I like Shingetsu, she is pretty fun to watch. Mangetsu is too, but I wish they didn't give her the pink hair and high-pitched voice. If they didn't give her the typical genki girl looks, I think I would've been able to appreciate her more and take her more seriously.
The last scene of this ep also gave me pretty strong Madoka vibes, at some point I almost expected Puella in Somnio to start playing (not to mention how the school looks similar to Madoka's), I wonder what it will lead to.

Hm, this definitely grounded me a lot more in the show; much stronger than the first. I’m a lot more invested in our main duo, even if I feel like I’ve seen that exact same argument before between a certain pink haired and black haired magical girl. (I do hope this show can step into its own though; there’s a fine line between taking inspiration and regurgitating and the core conflict here felt a little bit past it. There’s still plenty of room to develop away from that, so I’m not actually too worried yet.)

I'm glad we had this episode. The last episode was pretty intense, and it was good to learn more about what exactly is happening. That being said, the magic mecha action was cool and I want mooooore!!

Shingetsu was talking about how magic disturbs fate/the way things are supposed to go, I wonder if that's gonna be a theme throughout the series
