Spoiler for Episode 8:

Think this episode is gonna set the basic flow of episodes to come. Mana's gonna lead the charge, Alice will more or less blindly follow her, Rikka's the straight-man/hopeless voice of reason, and Makoto will be a cute tsundere. I'm okay with this.

Sheep Jikochuu sort of got reused, though rather than the useless Ram, Marmo's actually posed some form of threat. I couldn't help but think that Sword and Heart were drunkards when they were trying to slap each other awake.

Ai-chan wasn't terribly annoying and the design looks a lot better in the show than it did on the promotional material. I think her "kyupirappa" thing is some weird corruption on cupid, which would make sense since she looks like one. Was a bit afraid that the next episode would end up being a telekinesis-power shenanigans episode and not a Doremi-Dokkan thing, but ah well. Can't have everything.

Makoto's singing is still sort of off, making it hard to take her seriously as an idol. It's disappointing because I really like her speaking voice. Even if her singing kinda sucks, she's still pretty moe.
