The battle between Yachiyo and Mifuyu was very doped. Yachiyo is surely very strong. Gladfully, she can return to her normal self before killing or doing something very bad to Mifuyu.
Nice ED, I love it.

Another great ep, the fight between Yachiyo and Mifuyu was outstanding! It makes me scared though that someone's going to die, because they've changed the story alot, they're saving Chelation arc for later, I hope they don't kill off Tsuruno, and I hope Momoko and co. will be alright.

It's Nemu Hiiragi, one of the three girls from the hospital in Iroha's dream, she's the bookworm who always fights with Touka.

Such beautiful OP. Reminds me why I fell in love with Magia Record in first place. The animation is top notch. I don't know where they are headed to with the story change, but it surely gonna be somewhere amazing. I guess this season will explain everything about Magia Record, including the title itself, where the rumours come from, etc.

forgot Kuroe was with Iroha in season 1 and wondered what her connection was with Iroha again till Yachiyo mentioned it.
Nice battle.
Yachiyo finally found Iroha! By the looks of it instead of a gentle reunion it's going to be a tough one with Iroha's Doppel unfolding and needing to be taken care of first.
just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it?

Please, don't spoil

Good episode overall but I don't understand something,

Mitama says that Yachiyo needs a magius to find the Fendt hope hotel
but in previous episode, the magius said to yachiyo that they did not know themselve
I don't know if it is an incoherence or if I missed something but it is strange
(unless the magius lied)

Perhaps the hotel is restricted to girls from a higher level in the organization.

It's a little sad we didn't see the OG characters again but it's to be expected. That fight scene was mind blowing..

I really wonder if every episode will look like the first 2. Because it really seems like it'll be that way especially considering the short episode count

solid episode. Cool opening too

Nahhhh wtf bro SHAFT had no reason to snap as hard as they have on these first two Magireco eps. This was another phenomenal episode. It looks like they’ve really learnt from the shortcomings of the first season.

Yachiyo v Mifuyu was stellar. Yachiyo’s near descent to the abyss was executed perfectly over the course of the episode. Nearly falling into madness and then regaining herself at the ends

Also some really important info about Magius’ plans revealed. Magireco stans eating good rn

This was an amazing episode too!!! The fight of Mifuyu and Yachiyo was amazing, and is heart breaking to see how desesperate is Yachiyo to find Iroha. Also, I wonder if Sana and Felicia are brainwashed too, their eyes seemed normal.

Though I didn't expect them to find Iroha that fast lol. I don't complain though, I'm excited for the next episode!

Also, I wonder what happened with Mami... If i remember correctly, she fell with Iroha too

Yachiyo is losing her way trying to keep moving after losing Iroha. Should've known that would impact her so heavily. Iroha making that promise to not die after Yachiyo already lost her entire previous team. She's in a dark place now carrying so much loss. Its no wonder she almost flipped out and killed Mafuyu her old friend. The anger Yachiyo has towards Magius is intense. Shaft has flexed hard in these first two episodes, last week with Sayaka and now with Yachiyo. They must love the blue girls with a dark side, giving them both some incredibly animated sequences. Kuroe seems wrapped up in this almost by chance following little kyubey around bumping into Yachiyo leafing them both to this eternal Sakura tree. Where maybe Iroha is coming back.

I guess an OK episode

Obviously nowhere near as good as episode 1. I guess I just don't care about Rumors and Magius. And as soon as little Kyubey showed up, it was pretty obvious it was going to end with Iroha showing up.

Hopefully gets interesting from here on out.

Edited the message to mark it as spoiler (you can edit your message to update the quote).

I think the previous episode scene was just before the fight with Mifuyu. The meeting with Mitama was a flashback, which happened before the scene in last Episode.

Or it could be earlier Yachiyo was randomly asking black feathers, but now the same was confirmed by Mitama, she knows she just have follow a wing of Magius instead of beating the crap out of them.

Did Kajiura-sensei returns to the franchise? She wasn't in the 1st season right? But in this EP, distorted guitars with choirs chanting behind them, that's so Kajiura-sensei's style!!! Hyped!!

She was, but only in the 1st two EPs (of Magia Record, not the original series). And AFAIK was never in the game.

That last scene of them meeting back with iroha is definitely making me hyped for the next eps 😊
Obviously it wont be a calm & warm reunion, because it seems that we're gonna have to fight with her doppel's form first before we can even say hi to her
Lets hope that she'll be back to her sense though, fingers crossed 🤞

Thats the problem with being popular i guess. Even when intentioned one can easily surpass their peers if not careful. That explains Yachiyo's personality i guess. Love the opening though and its visuals. Without her friends though it really shows how fragile Yachiyo's heart is though. Given their promises its no surprise that so many magical girls opted to join them. Hmm the coordinators jobs are to assist the magical girls in their duties but they are technically neutral in the fight. Its unfortunate that Mifiyu's attempt at diplomacy was doomed to fail. Yachiyo has lost too many friends already after all. The resultant fight between them though sure was high level especially the second part. Its a good thing that she didn't let the power of the doppel overwhelm her and cause her to create a regret though. Overall a pretty impressive ep that featured a fine balance of story, character expansion and combat along with some interesting revelations as well. That ending though was pretty surprising.

Episode was nice although it was complete opposite to game story.
Op was good there is some scenes from both game and anime,still it looks like Iroha will lose all her memories and Kuro will be her only friend, really strange turn of events, but i think its to make Kuro a better character and make her important to Iroha.

Another phenomenal episode, Shaft is killing the start of this season in a big way!! The Yachiyo vs Mifuyu fight was incredible, Sakuga all the way once more and it just looked so damn good. This is what I was hoping S1 to be, but if they kept all the great stuff for S2, then I am all for it.

Kuroe makes a return, I didn't think we were gonna see her again this soon. Was nice to see the rest as well, if only it was briefly.

S1 was meant to set up character and the world. It isn't bad per se and it has its purpose. Shaft didn't learn anything, what's different is that they've finished setting up everything so that they can focus on advancing the plot in S2. It's kind of like the whole deal with the first 11 episodes of steins gate. Nothing really happened but its still important nevertheless

That's what people miss about first season. They compare it episode by episode with Madoka Magica, which is 12 episode anime. Had Magia Record not been split in 3 seasons, it would absolutely shine.

Anyways, Season 2 is here, both the episodes were great so far. Not sure how much they game story will change, but I'm excited nonetheless.

I hated season 1 of Side Story but Episode 1 of Season 2 took a complete 180 degree turn... too bad it returned this this lame cast in Episode 2. It seemed like night and day, as if SHAFT had reincarnated their tropes of head-tilting and high framed expression emotion for a fast-paced monologue(s) that don't drag on, facaded by an artistic take. The latter is exactly what this episode was lacking. I literally fell asleep watching this.

Damn... Yachiyo almost killed Mifuyu.
I don't really get it why Yachiyo wants vendetta on Magius. They may be extremists but not all magical girls are as OP as Yachiyo so what they do should be understandable...

Iroha will likely be "revived" next ep. Of course she wouldn't have died!

Damn I don't know anything at all about Madoka Magica and I LOVE that my hand is being smacked away instead of held by the writers. World building groundwork I half know about from youtubers and such but never saw is completely fresh to me and I feel like this presentation is going to be a treat and I lucked out on this being my first Madoka exposure.

Top notch first and second episodes standalone. Incredible art and animation in the fights especially but not just the fights, damn that water effect animation was godly. Very fast paced and trusting the viewer to just get it from the visual story which I always feel relieved to see when I like a show. Great camera angels and backgrounds, I feel like each scene we get isekai'd - and incredibly good teaser ending scenes.

I'm watching a few of the other shows like Sonny Boy and that high fantasy settlers of katan isekai that I wouldn't lump in with the rest, but I haven't been keen on much this season then this happened. Definitely the chosen one this season, reminds me of Wonder Egg but with a more traditional art style and story. If the way they're ending the episodes is any indication I'm pretty sure we don't have to worry bout dat ending... pretty sure... like, I mean statistitically I should be worried but emotionally I'm never worried I guess that makes me a stan?

And what exactly did they learn? S1 was a part of a bigger whole, this whole hate for magia record wouldn't have happened if they made it into one big 2 cour season so that people like you would understand that it's a part of a bigger story and it isn't a separate show. Imagine if steins gate was split into two seasons, I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be as revered as it is now just by the virtue that some dumb part of the fanbase think that the first half is bad and boring when it really needs to be there so that they can focus on advancing the plot when the time comes

How are they lame when they haven't had the time to shine yet? Magia record is a massive story and S1 is just a tiny fraction of the whole story meant to set everything up. Stop being such a hater just because the show hasn't gotten good yet. You're just hating because the show is tied to a big series (madoka magica) and because you set such a high expectation while not giving enough time for the show to fulfill those expectations
