Hmm I wonder why the sketchy lady is putting others at harm just so Ichika can use the Djinn to save them...I guess the "test" needs to be finished regardless of the costs.

Not a bad episode, but I felt like it was kinda hard to follow. LIke, I don't know why they were all obsessed about Ichika being "serious", and why IChika was starting to become depressed.

However, one part of this show that I'm not fond so far of is the fact that the mahou shoujo elements don't really play much of a role. Sure, Ichika needs to use her powers to solve problems and stuff, but it only happens for the last 5 minutes of the episode. The rest of it is just SoL stuff (not that SoL is bad, but...I was hoping for more magical girl stuff!)

I think I can understand why they kept bringing up Ichika's seriousness, and it being the focal point of this episode. I can relate it to being an introvert and people always mentioning how I'm so "quiet" / "why are you so quiet" / "you're so nice" or w/e. Ichika may not like that side of herself, where she can't have fun like the others because she overthinks the situation and plays the role of a "nice" person- someone who follows the rules and does what she's told. In one scene we actually see how she physically removes herself from her environment to escape and go back into her comfort zone (running to the cabin to continue cleaning).

If this series is about adolescence and Ichika growing up (it seems to be going this route), I think this episode was to highlight how Ichika is insecure of herself. Perhaps in the episodes to come she'll continue to realize things about herself (ep2 she learns she's able to lie effectively, ep3 she acknowledges she has a stable home [unlike Nao]) and accept them.

Hm.. Wonder, why it's painful for Ichika to be ridiculed in being serious and stuff.. Well, she is still very young, I guess.. She'll learn how to withstand such critic in time..
Why this adult woman sabotages some girls?.. Is she interested in gems being used?.. Why?..
But honestly, in this exact situation I wouldn't say that lie was a bad thing.. Usually it's just girl getting together with guy - it's their responsibility to do whatever they want to.. It's just in this exact anime situation some accident happened.. But in real life it wouldn't.. ;p In the end, though, wonder, how Ichika will solve these feelings of being unsure of being serious and about lying.. She can decide whatever she wants to do by herself..
