THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I wonder if this show will continue the streak of its comedic moments. Quite a bit of them in this episode as well.

Seems this episode dedicates a lot of time for Momo and Yuuko again. Between the two, Momo is still quite childish at times lol.

This is actually great, some good comedic moments but for a brief moment I thought that I misclicked on a Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru episode...

How did this drop down to a 7.5 from over 9 last week?


Comparing this to Gabriel Dropout is pretty accurate. Also because they both have absolutely garbage localization.

First grams. She said 500 grams and they translated that as 1 pound. 1 pound is closer to 454 grams. Not even remotely the same. Then they translated 3 km as 2 miles. 3 km is 1.864 miles. So they rounded..whatever right? Except this matters in the next scene. In Japanese they said 4 kilometers next and this was translated as 3 miles. This is ENTIRELY incorrect. 4 kilometers is 2.485 miles. If you found that, that's 2 miles because you round down when it's under .5. So technically both their stupid translations should've said 2 miles but both are incorrect instead. What they should've done is just used the imperial system and not have "translated" it to begin with.

That aside, there was a lot of really goofy localization choices that were just outright not what was being said. Whoever they have translating this show at Sentai should be fired. They're not actually translating a lot of the time, they're rewriting and that's a vile thing to do to someone else's art. I won't complain in future threads about this unless there are very specific really awful instances that are worthy of pointing out on their own. It's a shame because this show really deserves better.

This episode was not as laugh-out-loud-funny as last episode, but that's still fine! I still had some laughs and a good time while Yuuko naively agrees with everyone's suggestions.
I'm starting to really like seeing Yuuko and Momo as a comedy duo. I mean, I liked that in the first episode, but there was more of that here and it's quite wholesome to see that Momo just wants to be friends with Yuuko (rather than being enemies).
Can't wait for Lilith to appear... from what I've seen in the manga and those first few minutes of the first episode, she seems to be a very fun character!

Also, I'm probably very dumb for not noticing this, but I finally took more notice of the orange-haired girl in the opening and end credits (as well as in the eyecatch).
I haven't seen too much of the manga to see this girl in there yet, so I didn't recognize her. But at this point, I'm pretty sure she's a magical girl too, since she seems like one in the end credits along with Momo, and is seen with oranges, a fruit much like peaches that Momo is seen with.

Then I noticed that if you look at the part of the opening where you see the girls defeating Lilith (as if they were playing an old JRPG), you can see the girls' names on the top. (I can read some Japanese, like hiragana and katakana, so I recognized it.) The left name reads "Momo", the middle reads "Shamiko" (Yuuko's nickname), and the right name reads "Mikan", which I figured would be the orange girl's name.

In case you don't know (though I doubt it, I'm sure you all know some amount of Japanese after watching a ton of anime lol), "Momo" means "peach" and "Mikan" means "orange". I think that it's actually pretty cute that the magical girls follow a fruit theme in both name and magical girl outfits!

Maybe you guys already realized this and didn't pay it any mind or something, but for me it was yet another thing to smile at this show for.

Hmm, so Momo is actually a "weak" magical girl by the standards of this anime? Shamirin better watch out for the stronger ones. :p

Running 3 miles then not have enough money to go back. Going into a 5$ debt, and having to pay on installents every month. She is easy to trick. At least the fight to the death would be delayed. I think Momo likes Shami, and just want to be friends with her. :)

There is a really sweet and heartwarming feeling underneath all of the trickery and silliness, which I don't think is very easy to do. Shamiko is my favorite girl this season.

Good episode, not as good as the first one, the comedic timing was still there, the characters was still hilarious as before. I just don't feel it, probably because of the incident yesterday that I was not in the mood to watch it. Maybe its just me.

Thursday would be the purifying day of the week of the Anime Summer Season 2019, if "Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san" was also broadcast this day 😁.
We have two demon girls who purify our soul, is ironic xD, the same day. Latina and Shamiko.

Shamiko is adorably funny 😂.

I'm loving this show's comedic nature right now. That cliffhanger of the new girl's appearance, I can't wait.

This episode is comedy gold. Though tamer than the 1st.

For one, the "match" between Shamiko and Momo was a reference to the humiliating Germany vs. Brazil score (+1 for Shamiko, out of compassion).

For two, their so-called challenge was a direct reference to this week's Dumbbell episode. And Shamiko with that 1-pound bottle...wad???

And which sensible person would give their mortal enemy their own contact and time??? And to that extent, borrow money for a 3 mile (4km, which is INCORRECT) journey back home?

It's pretty funny that Shamiko's mom know how stupid and brainbirdy she is. And to give 500 yen/month, I would have finished that in a week. Pretty sensible for the enemy to provide installment plans, unless her death ensues.

AND...Shamiko is just as gullible, damn haha. She is already tempted even before she knows.

Looks like someone is on the way to help Yuuko.

@Kougeru yes there are issues with imperial vs. metric systems. And the localization is indeed shit.

This anime is very funny, can't stop laughing. I don't know why Momo just easily accept Yuko like that, but maybe like what she said, she just don't want to be magical girl anymore.

And shopping center is a nightmare for your monthly pocket, trust me.

Edit : i don't know if that soccer pun and score 7-1 is related to something..... (WC fans must remember it)

Murderizeing Magical Girls has once again proven to once again, be a difficult task for such the poor, frail, and ditzy little demon girl. And I love Shamiko's run, it looks so awkward.

Cute episode. The part where Yuko is trying to resist buying things at the mall is something I can relate to so much. I'll try to resist buying things at anime cons or anime-themed stores, and then end up spending literally all my money on stuff I don't need.

Mad Yuuko is a bit adorable.. ;p Though, I also hope that her life becomes better..
These girls are bullies.. ;/
Honestly, I don't know, how I feel about anime.. Too much bully of Yuuko.. Yeah, it's supposed to be comedy, but it's just too much, if it's all the time.. Can life for this girl get at least a bit better?.. It's just sad.. In the end, yeah, I don't know, if I'll enjoy anime or will cringe on how much Yuuko is being hurt for sake of some comedy, what's not funny..
At least possession by dark sounds promising, and potential help of something from ancestor demon girl.. And still have some faith that maybe bullying won't be constant, and slice of life will change a bit.. I hope..

For a sake of a family reason, Shamiko continued her life as a demon poor girl. What a pity life she had. However, the magical girl had some respect (or a condescension felt by Yuuko's perspective) toward their activity. Still, i found their relations kinda amusing to be watched. Especially with Yuuko reaction, and Momo's plain face make their conversation kinda cute and sweet. They just ended up the whole fighting scheme into a relax marathon run's under the twilight. a pretty soothing, eh? Lmao.

Yuuko's mom surely had a high expectations. But, its just ended up with another bullied and too easy to be manipulated. No result from the fight, just made her forget the whole mission. Lmao. Why girl, why?? I mean, Yuuko's forced to made a debt. She trying to made a weapon, but ended up to spend all of her allowances in one day full of shopping. She suddenly get broke after she got an increased of her allowances. Well, at least she had a fun with her friend, and somehow she just made her relations with Momo closer than i think. Well. How long she suffer the loss? Let see the next one! I hope that chick demon leader had a big guts to make a good banter!

So because season 2 just came out this season, I decided to watch the first season, kind of a cute premise. I will say all I really feel about this is bad for the protagonist, her Mom is forcing her to be a demon, her best friend is just an awful person, the only person who’s actually decent to this poor girl is her supposed enemy. Why is a girl who never asked for this “power” and treated like garbage by all her supposed loved ones considered funny. I never understand this type of humor or why people think it’s funny. Yeah, I really hate the best friend, let’s hope she meets truck-kun, she really is a shit person

I'm really liking the chemistry between Yuko and Momo at the moment, they make a really good comedy duo for me. Again it's surprisingly funny to me, it's very enjoyable of a show and seems to be an easy watch for me. Looks Yuko's ancestor is going to pay our ditzy demon girl a visit next episode.
