As someone who has read Unmarked, Restart and Limited (side stories included) in a span of 3 days, I can only say...
DAMN I'm honestly impressed with how much the writing improves after Vol 1, even if the formula stays the same. I did not expect this kind of ride, but I definetly don't regret it, even if it hits you hard sometimes. Also, while it doesn't always succeed, I do appreciate how the series can catch you off guard more than once. Spoiler for Restart:
Its not exactly perfect in storytelling and feeling (Limited felt like an american action movie/comic book way too often), but the pros far outweight the cons (The last part of Limited was brutal, beautiful and tragic at the same time), so I'm definetly sticking with it. Going into Jokers now, and apparently, more Snow suffering... Oh, and to all of you, merry christmas from your local, very, very morally dubious aspiring reformist Spoiler for Spoiler:

In my opinion, Limited was a crime thriller with magical girls. It even has a car chase. Last edited by Spica; 2016-12-25 at 12:17. |

Caught up with Jokers and Aces. Don't know who's gonna be more scary in the long run: Puk or Pfle. I'm leaning towards the latter, though.
And boy, now I get the hype behind that Queens image. I can't even imagine what is gonna go through Snow's head for that encounter after THAT happened. Or rather, I don't want to. Meanwhile, Federica is back to being the plan meister during breaks from playing with Prism's hair. A damn good villain, which means I also want to punch her in the face. Quote:

Since you have read Aces, I am curious about your feeling on fire extinguishers. |

There various kind of villains.
Like those who are aware of what they do and accept it like Pythie. Puk Puck is the opposite, she doesn't believes what she does is wrong and keeps on using people as resources to further her goals. She doesn't feels the feelings you usually would feel when a person you care for is lost, hers is more like when a toy broke so she just goes and looks for another one. |

You mean Snow's second default weapon? But honestly, that was a cool fight, and showed very well the "getting the job done without becoming The Punisher" attitude Snow carries herself with. God, I want to read Queens already. |

Frederica indeed a very good villain - she not just a battle-hungry freak like Cranberry, as she have a good intentions. But her methods can be described as deplorable. Not to say he pbession with a variouc magical girls are pretty... creepy What she done in the Aces are really dick move. |

That's because contrary to expectations Pythie is truly a believer of hard workers and idealist magical girls but also is pretty grounded in the reality.
She said it herself, though her methods are questionable when not through direct interactions she can really be a pretty good mentor. That's why she is so infatuated with Snow White, because she overturned her initial impression that Strength = Ideal Magical Girl which she thought to be in Cranberry |

She's said that from day one, but it was still interesting to see her putting it in practice, and with someone besides Snow to boot. The hair fetish probably helped attract her attention, though
Slowly catching up with second batch of side stories. Marika's really helped her character in terms of likability, even though she was pretty likable already. |

R-18 mode... in a game with a half-beast girl, a living doll, two spandex clad nutcases, a girl that makes faces appear on walls by kissing them and a smug ojou with faithful knight included... Good lord |
