When I hear "trap" magical girl, for some reason, I think of this, from this series.

OMG I was rolling one the floor all the way to the end I think Rika said it best...

I've landed in the craziest world possible...

Oblivion · 2011-09-28, 22:10

So Derp subs is the only group willing to do this? Have the other groups given up on this?

Edit: Also, I noticed how Hanyuu now has an extra Hanyuu at the end of most sentencesthis episode. Her VA has quite a mouthful to say this episode lol.

Archon_Wing · 2011-09-29, 00:20

I liked it when they called it Nanoha. This... this is just trash. It isn't as utter trash as the first, because there wasn't gross fanservice every minute.

The only good thing out of this was the dream as adult rika; was mildly hot. The rest; well enjoy the slideshow I guess, I mean not only does the script make absolutely no sense even for a comical thing, it's so fucking random. Hell, I find Nichijou more funny. Actually not a damned thing I've seen from Deen since UBW have anything resembling a narrative.

It's like they went all out on being outrageous and perverted and stupid that they forgot about being funny. And the OP/ED BURN IN HELL.

Crap animation, crap script, and these aren't even the characters I knew. I have Carnival Phantasm for silly fun and that actually looks good. 3/10 Fuck you deen and dropped.

No love for Hideyoshi in cosplay?

Archon_Wing · 2011-09-30, 15:58

That looks like a poor man's Keiichi.

Solafighter · 2011-10-01, 10:06

Hm was that the real thing or did someone put something weird in my coffee?...

TheWitch0fDivinty · 2011-10-01, 10:27

I found this to be so much funnier and cuter than the last episode. I enjoyed it...

I hope the subbers don't givbe up subbing, I mean Kai was the end of all the tension, Killing Dice (though we can say for sure the VN was vastly more important) was to give an explaination to Frederica Bernkastel...

All there is left to is to have a bit of fun with the series... and parodies are just fine in my opinion.

L in Hinamizawa · 2011-10-02, 13:49

When Takano gets defeated did she really say "I'm sorry brother"???
Or were the subs just messesd up?
I didn't think she had a brother...

Joly · 2011-10-02, 14:13

Pretty sure it's a rushed fansub screw up and she said ojiisan (grandfather) and not oniisan.

KoiYuki · 2011-10-14, 20:25

Well... this was a huge step above episode one, which I don't think I really ever want to watch again.. :c Though that episode had something redeeming in it, but that's not meant for here~

Anyway, episode two. I've already decided before the OVA that I would completely detach this from the Higurashi we know and love, since obviously the story is over (though OVAs of some of the other mysteries would be cool, I didn't expect it of course).

The sad thing with this episode is that I didn't even watch it all at once. I watched about half, then before loading the second half, I got distracted by something else and didn't watch the rest for DAYS. It just didn't seem like something I'd go out of my way for, because it really wasn't all that interesting. Well, here's the basic run-down of what I thought.

Spoiler for good, neutral, bad:

Why did Riks call Keiichi Kei-Kei though..? I don't remember her ever doing that..

Anyway, overall average episode. Probably would only watch again if I couldn't think of anything better to do/watch.

Nemu · 2011-10-30, 21:08

Very random episode. O.O It was not spectacular but I still liked it. Definitely a big improvement from the previous episode. I'm also still enjoying the new art style as I find it very cute. Hope next episode will be even better.

Still though, this new OVA cannot compare to the first two seasons of Higurashi. I adored the first two seasons so much. This new OVA is just so different, sometimes I feel like it's not even Higurashi which is sad.

Liddo-kun · 2011-11-05, 08:06

Pleasantly surprised by episode 2.

Rika is pretty good at being a magical girl, now she has some powers.
Of course, to make things more balanced - the villains gain magical powers as well.

Funny when she got angry because she didn't grow up.

It seems the Rika she "replaced" in that world is a grown up one.

DFLOOD · 2011-11-28, 17:29

Only good part was rika talking in adult mode. Other than that I hated it XD.

FlareKnight · 2011-12-20, 23:37

I thought it was worth some laughs. Almost fitting since after all that Rika has gone through it kind of fit. Went through all those crazy dangers, just this time she actually got the powers to fight back for herself. My sympathies when she expected an adult form transformation, but stayed small

.

Think after all the wild dangers this kind of episode is nice. Some ridiculous enemies, but a good adventure for Rika and Satoko to share. Funny that giant monsters really do feel safer than the things she had to face during the main series.

Besides I thought Rika and Hanyuu were hilarious when Rika showed her darker side

.

RandomAvatarFan · 2012-02-02, 22:25

I don't know why people are hating on this. I mean let's face it, the game of June 1983 is over, they escaped tragedy. Let them live their lives, okay?

And this is basically a retelling of the series with mahou shoujo! What could go wrong?

It's my favorite Glitter episode so far. It was comical, poking fun at itself, both for the episode's scenario, and as a parody of the series in general.

Naked Takano was a wtf moment though, but in general, I had a lot of fun with it.

It just didn't seem like something I'd go out of my way for, because it really wasn't all that interesting. Well, here's the basic run-down of what I thought. Spoiler for good, neutral, bad: The good: + The animation, while being moe fodder, is still pretty cute and fluid. + 07th Explosion was the cutest thing I've heard in this series. + The club members outfits were cute (I really like Keiichi & Satoshi's). Rika and Satoko had some pretty decent magical girl outfits too, and the weapons (the staff and hammer) were clever. + Satoshi smacking Keiichi over the head was funny. + Rika & Satoko's transformations. + Takano essentially pulling a "look like Team Rocket's blasting off agaaaaaiiiin! twinkle" + Mion with the ohagi. Is this the first REAL insane Mion (not counting the fact that she's possessed)? + Some characters had their oddities played up nicely, such as Chie with curry and Irie with the clothes. + Rika thinking it's kind of BS and going Frederica. + Satoshi and Keiichi in the club in the same world. + Rika after transformation. Poor flat-chested Rika. The okay: = The opening is still just okay to me. the head bobbing part creeps me out, but the rest is watchable. = The ending this time was still okay too. the singing could've been more energetic, but I did like the little catch phrase additions to it. = Hanyuu. She's still Hanyuu, but.. I dunno, something seemed off. = Shmion's laugh. It seems like the VA might have forgotten how to do it the way she used to? = Cliffhanger ending. It works but at the same time I kinda wanted to see them go home or something. I'm glad Rika said "is this really okay?" though. <3 = Satoko seemed to accept it all pretty easily, and she seemed like she knew what Rika went through..? It's not too important, since this is kind of a parody. = "well we got out of that SOMEHOW". It's true that no one cares how, but still.. at least she said "somehow". xD The bad: - Even though the animation was fluid, character proportions seemed to be all over the place. - Keiichi. He's basically my favorite character, and while I know that he can be a huge loser, he usually has at least SOME kind of coolness to him. But these OVA eps just kinda shit all over him. :c - The "fanservice". I don't know what fans they're trying to please with these episodes, but it just doesn't seem to be working. It's just kind of gross. Luckily this episode didn't have too much (compared to the last one especially), but naked Takano, Shion's shirt... things like that were a big no. - It really wasn't all that funny for being a parody. There were a few slight chuckle moments, but it was, for the most part, not really funny like it seemed to want to be. - Predictable episode, kind of boring. Couldn't watch it in one go. Why did Riks call Keiichi Kei-Kei though..? I don't remember her ever doing that.. Anyway, overall average episode. Probably would only watch again if I couldn't think of anything better to do/watch.
