So if I got this right, Shingetsu lost her family some time ago and was taken care of by Anna's family, but Anna's mother and sister started loving her so much the mother now wants to formally adopt her, making Anna believe she manipulated them in order to take over the family and rob her of her inheritance. That is some twisted train of thought. I wonder if there's a particular event that made her come to this conclusion or if she's such a crazy bitch.
Not so sure about Mangetsu being OP anymore. Better raw power than the others, sure, but she doesn't seem that much better. Shingetsu and Anna didn't even blink at the flower field, and Anna used a beam attack that was almost as huge as Mangetsu's. As for Shingetsu's wish, I recall somebody here hit the nail in the head. She wants to erase magic from the world completely.

Nah, this is rather typical for these kind of characters. She'll continue to suck untill the moment comes when the writter wants her to win, at which point her greater capacity would be used to justify her win. And then she'll continue to suck. Rinse. Repeat.

Watched episode 3:
The chinese fried rice cooked by Nene looks delicious!! Well, more food to feed her loli friend. Now about Nene's mech, it's one of the seriously weak ones. Ji Guan Long is specialized in ranged attacks, but it takes a severely long time to get off even one shot.. and it can't one-hit kill an armanox even if the shot connects with the target. Ernesta's mech only lost an arm after a hit. Nene has better chances if she befriend Mangetsu and Shingetsu. Then when they win, ask them to use the magic to help her mom before erase all magic.

That just sound like an excuse to deny her inherent ability and the win. Point here even here is even she stronger than some of the others it doesn't mean she won't win without putting effort. Having talent does not negate that. It's clear Mangetsu isn't gonna be succeeding purely because she an MC, but she has stronger base and honing that which is how power balance involving powerful novices should be. Will luck factor somewhere along the lines? Yeah but that goes for literally everybody. Shingetsu was lucky an new powerful opponent show when she did or she would have been toast. That is also part of the battle. As far OP MCs go she been handle pretty well hasn't just been cum-stomping everyone no matter what she does. If gonna use meta as an excuse than all of fiction is like that. Everything at whims of the writer at end of the day. Last edited by Applehell; 2019-07-20 at 21:52. |

Mangetsu is slowly getting better with Ernesta as her teacher in armanox piloting.
Forgot to say. The other chinese girl who has a cursed sister.. it seems magic users cannot detect each other easily? Nene was right there and they did not sense each other as magic users.

Watched episode 4:
Nene is good at hiding, but Suishou and the other chinese girl was able to find her armanox. Funny when Nene was spying on Mangetsu house. Yeah, you need some courage when three enemies are around. xD Suishou is actually scary.. they should just defeat Anna. Her constant screaming is starting to get annoying. >< why do the little sister likes Shingetsu so much? looking forward to next week!!

I've rarely seen a character as angry as Anna. She's literally burning with anger. Totally blind to what happens around her as a result, it's so obvious Suishou will be the one to eliminate her.
I wasn't expecting Nene to come forward at the end of the episode. Does she want an alliance too? That would put the girls in a tough position. I hope Mangetsu will get a wish of her own because supporting Shingetsu's (which is weird because she wants to remove what makes Mangetsu stand out) removes the tension.

Not surprising that Granbelm borrowed elements from Fate, Madoka, and Nanoha. I think at the episode preview they showed Mangetsu having symbol-shaped pupils that look like magic crests. I was like, "Is Mangetsu getting Sharingan too?"
