Funny you stopped at ep 3... I've been mostly fast forwarding through 4 and 5
Still, I'd have to give it at least another episode to decide myself if the drama's good enough to warrant watching more seeing how ep5 ended on a dramatic cliffhanger.

If all she gets is a slap in the wrist and a "be more careful", I'm out Her wish has so much dramatic potential that part of me is happy that they seem to finally want to explore that path, but the skeptical side of me doesn't believe they'll stray from the fluffy/happy theme too much.

I'll let you know next week :P Right now my advice is: Don't bother catching up.

I'm behind on Inari Kon Kon. Even as somebody who tends to like some fluffy/sweet anime, this show is just too much for me. Or, at least, that's how I found Episode 3 before I stopped watching it half-way through. But if you think it's worth me getting back into for the wish drama, I'll do so.

So what's your take there?

Regarding our last little comment-chat about Inari Kon Kon, after the latest episode I expect Inari to take a little heat about her wish

Spoiler for Inari Kon Kon's latest ep:

I wasn't thinking too much about it because I was assuming that the show would be completely fluffy/happy and whimsical.. turns out we're getting some wish-related drama afterall so I have to agree with you about how reckless her wish was...and especially how she chooses to use it.

I know she herself says that she's dumb.. but man, the person she turned into the last episode was an extremely poor choice..

Spoiler for Reply:

I think the difference in treatment comes from the fact that we're dealing with two completely different shows.
Madoka Magica started off cutesy but quickly turned into something else entirely . I don't get that vibe from Inari, hence why I'm showing a lot more leniency regarding her reckless wish.

Sayaka's wish actually made sense though... it's the kind of thing that you'd do for someone you love. Inari's... not so much. Like you said on the thread, it's a good thing it wasn't Kyuubey granting the wish, otherwise... byebye Sumizome. If we think about it, that's pretty damn scary.

Truth be told, Inari's behavior troubles me a bit since she's using a pretty unfair advantage to get closer to her crush and she doesn't seem to think things through. Still, Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha doesn't seem to be a story about magical girl suffering so that's probably why Inari gets away with her selfish, thoughtless wish.

Well, because of Madoka Magica, I can never again take seriously a totally whimsical approach to wishes. I trust you can understand why.

Spoiler for Inori/Sayaka Miki comparison, Madoka Magica spoilers:

Also, Sayaka Miki took a fair bit of viewer criticism for her wish, and for supposedly not thinking it through enough. But Sayaka took almost 3 full episodes before she made her wish, and she actually put a lot of thought into it, and her wish was to help the guy she loved. And it's not like Sayaka was under any less romantic duress than Inori was...

I guess it just kind of burns me that Inori was getting a bit of a slide for her reckless wish given how much Sayaka was criticized for her wish (which was more altruistic, and much more carefully considered).

Let's just say I better not see an Inori defender say anything negative about Sayaka's wish, lol.

Yeah, I've seen it. Good thing it wasn't Kyuubey who granted her wish huh? Compare away then!

About Inari... Have you seen the anime Madoka Magica? Because if so, there's some comparisons here I want to make to you that should make my position crystal clear.

Ahaha, I know you do. You've been defending those uniforms with your life for a while now I'm not a big fan of them, as you know, but even I feel that Coppelion's discussion thread has turned into a hazard zone because of it. That argument has gone way overboard, to the point I'll be steering clear of that thread for a while, hoping it cools down.

I don't even know why they bother me, honestly. But whenever I see those girls, something feels wrong. Maybe because most anime I see has uniforms and I hoped for something different on a pos-apocalyptic setting, or because I fell into the animators' trap.

Either way, by the end of the day, what they're wearing isn't that important... or at least not important enough to spawn a discussion several pages wide with enough recycled arguments to make greenpeace proud.

One more thing, though - I like the school uniforms in Coppelion. I think it's becoming "dreaded" by some people to an absolutely ridiculous degree.

Don't worry, my reply to you was a bit tongue-in-cheek, hence the wink. I certainly don't think you're a bad reviewer or anything like that. And my goal was more to defend Coppelion than to say that Asukara is getting off too easy.
