Unlikely. Her intention is to restore her world. Her method of doing so is by destroying Akane's world. It seems unlikely even the dimmest of people would travel back in time and deliberately destroy their own world when they intend to save it. Far more likely she is from a parallel world of some sort.

Merchandise planned from the Wonder Festival:
http://yaraon.blog109.fc2.com/blog-entry-14492.html There's another Figma planned (Akane Palette Suit version) but I couldn't find the picture. |

good thing about it though is that the problem solved itself once the other girls started growing too... and the guys started maturing... a little. oops sorry got OT and long a bit, just wanted to say something like that for someone so young can't be all fun.

All this time I thought that this speak of "worlds" in relation to Rei was merely keeping the discussion vague, so I felt I wasn't very spoiled coming into this week's episode. Only it turns out that "worlds" are exactly what's going on here. Rei is very much a Maaya Uchida character - all her major roles I can think of (except for Mao) have a bit of a tragic past and family problems that make them tough to get through, but Akane's just the kind of person who can do that. Also - birds as messengers of doom. First Ruri, then Mea and now here. I do wonder if it's in the cards for Rei to get a Vivid power of her own, but it sounds like she doesn't want anything to do with the Engine in the first place. Maybe it's a secondary power hidden in her key? After all, emotions are a valuable force in the world of magical girls. |

Some solid advice from Akane's mother considering the genre. If someone doesn't want to be your friend just keep pushing until they give in .
Certainly a plight for Rei though. Certainly can see why she's gone down this route. Destroying the engine would cause untold problems for a world reliant on it, but frankly if it means getting back everyone she's ever known...it's a small price to pay. Of course that only comes into play if the Crow isn't full of it. Can kind of see it going two ways for Rei. Either the Crow is full of it and there is no hope or they can find another way to restore Rei's world.

Though I'm more hoping to see Figma versions of the Docking forms i.e. VividBlue, VividGreen, VividYellow and the eventual VividRed. They're just custom-made for Figmas already!

... Or just to deal with the Big Bad. Cause we sure all know 3 things : - They will become friends. - Rei will turn into SailorMa... err, the purple Ranger. - All the girls will merge into one super being. |

I'm impressed by the detail on the MP5 and the USP (which is most likely a USP9 for logistics simplification); the MP5 appears to be the Navynvariant with the folding stock and...
...sorry, it seems I got distracted away from the guns. Decent episode. It's only a matter of time before Rei gives in. Quote:

In both translations I've seen, the crow told Rei in her flashbacks that her entire world was destroyed by the Engine going out of control. This isn't a minor case of Rei's parents being killed in an accident. It appears that Rei's entire world is gone.

The limited Edition has the CD with the first ED, plus two character songs (Akane and Aoi), there's a booklet (I wonder how can this be considered an extra?), a "Special Pinup", and an event ticket (not that I can use it, though). Standard features are the audio commentary and the creditless OP/ED. there's enough for me (and it's unusual) for me to preorder.

I just find it amusing that, for the girl who seems to be the one pushing all the friendships forward, she's always on the bottom when it comes to the docking.
