Spoiler for Episode 2 - Umi Monogatari no Naku Koro Ni:

Okay, the subtitle that my box holds has very little to do with the episode, but with both "Umi" shows airing on Wednesday, I couldn't resist.

That said, the magical girl aspects come to the forefront, starting with an octopus that wishes to ensnare Kanon. Kanon continues to be flabbergasted by the events, but I can't really blame her. The near tentacle'ing she endured would gast anyone's flabber. Also, the team's "mentor" is a turtle whose VA once dubbed over the original Kamen Rider when Hiroshi Fujioka was out of commission. A few bonus points for that. Also, lots of acrobatics from Marin.

I'm looking forward to seeing the supporting cast of Kanon's friends. Yuuko Gibu in two major (or at least secondary) roles this season. I never thought I'd see the day.
