Internet rage storms targeting individual people seem kind of like a modern version of stoning to me. Even when the accusation is true I often don't feel like its bad enough that the target deserves to get singled out and hated on by a mob of people who know barely know anything about them. Definitely something I think society could do with less of.

Not necessarily. If everything is about adoption and popularity - it may be continued by anyone, as long as fans are happy.

[tuckersister]

Sota and Megane will definitely meet. I think Mamika is still going solo.

Preview of the soundtrack is out. And here's an endorsement for the anime.

Imagine characters stuck in cliff-hanger hell

[xizro345]

Well, what can I say...

Spoiler for Episode 8 spoilers:

Chances of Mamika making it alive are close to zero.
Sota's stuck with Magane which looks like big trouble coming.

On the other side, while Sota didn't manage to tell Meteora the whole story, he started to open up a bit on the general feelings he has regarding the whole issue.

We also get a quick glance at Alicetaria's world and it's pretty grim.

It's almost impossible to predict how things will be going on.

This episode comments:

- Hiroe touched upon the concept of secondary characters born out of an estabilished franchise, citing Vocaloid as an example (think Black Rock Shooter as the most prominent example), wondering if characters born like that really need a writer anymore. This was one of the concepts that ended up in the creation of Altair;

- Aside his military interests that shaped how Altair looks, he purposedly added chuunibyo-like features to her;

- They mention that in this episode certain creators aren't really kind to their characters, while pointing out Meteora is kind to Sota. Hiroe adds that, jokingly referring to his works, that "the world is not kind to anyone!";

- They talk about Alice again and her stubborn sense of justice, born out of the will to save her world, which is been invaded by another race, noting also her relationship with Mamika;

- Hiroe tries to say something more about Mamika but he's shut off by his editor (jokingly).

Mamika-a-a!

Well, at least she went out in style (assuming she's dead).

How much did Souta actually tell her then? Seems like quite a lot. What will he think when he finds out Mamika is dead (assuming she is)?

This series isn't kind to "creators", that's for sure.

[konart]

>What will he think when he finds out Mamika is dead

Not yet most likely, but people were expecting this to be her "Episode 3"

[Key Board]

Naw, we kinda saw this coming

still, magical girls, especially the pretty cure kind a pretty durable

[MartianMage]

Meteora a cute!

[Sides]

NOOOOO!,

Spoiler:

not Mamika!

Episode felt kind of slow until that ^ happend.
I was wondering why Altair even need allies, surely she could destroy the world just by leaving the creations rooming free by their own, like chikujouin.

Spoiler for Episode 8 thoughts:

I was getting annoyed with Sota still being mum to his allies about Altair. I inwardly smiled when Magane called him out on his bs, and will force him to regret not bringing this up with Meteora earlier. But then again Magane is the evil type and I don't think Sota will be fine on his "date".

That ending though. At least Mamika got her last word in. Also proves the resolve of Altair to not brooke any opposition to her plans.

Good episode to keep everyone off balance.

[Stark700]

Damn....

I guess Mamika is going to be the first causality in this show. (unless she somehow survived that attack at the end) The death flag on her was already hinted when she and Alice were talking tbh. Seems that Alice's ideals about the present world they are in differ from hers. Anyway, I also find the interactions between Sota/Meteora and Sota/Magane to be rather interesting this week.

vengeful people want other people to sympathize with their cause
they need someone else to reinforce "the world is wrong therefore I must destroy it" belief
they need the morale support

[mysterious]

I really like this series so far. Almost all the characters appeared to contribute to the stories and interact with each other like how we would normally would. The moment where they tell Mirokujin to not damage his creator head and right hand made me laugh. Talk about preserving a creator career. The growth of the Mamika also a welcome one. Although she still retains the ideas of a fluffy magical girl, she sure has the decisiveness to act on her idea. On the other hand, I wonder why the series still wasted precious screen time on Souta. I hate his type with a passion and utterly laughing when Magane interrogate him. If only he got a heart attack and dies there and then. While I hope Mamika makes it out alive, her death will most likely further torturous Souta mind which at this point, he totally deserves everything that goes at him, including a date with a psychopath murderous girl.

[Vaans]

It seems like some people guesses were right. Mamika has a huge death flag over her head.

On Sota and Meteora's talk, it seems like the story tell about Setsuna and Sota. But I wonder who's the talented person and the one who acted cold to his friend?

Also, on Mamika and Altair's talk. It seems Altair is telling that Setsuna is her Ally. Does that mean just an ally and not her creator? Hmm...

Dammit. I'm trying to hold on till this series nearly or fully completed but because my curiosity on who exactly is Altair's real creator. Sigh.

[zztop]

The most important takeaway from this episode is the hint that Souta may have pushed Setsuna to suicide, out of jealousy at her talent and skills. Perhaps he even started the flames of hate that destroyed Setsuna's will to live.

Souta's reluctant wimpiness makes even more sense now, especially if he feels he has Setsuna's (figurative) blood on his hands, like Macbeth.

Plus that Altair intends to get revenge on the real world for spurning Setsuna, and that Mamika (and Magane) presumably know Souta's full story now.

I took it to mean that Setsuna was the talented one, and Souta, her friend(?) soon became jealous and cold of her. He may have triggered a chain of events which led to her suicide.

Do people really...not get the point with Souta's character? Like really?
It's honestly the most logical choice a normal human in the real world would have do when in the situation.

Matsubara even lampshaded this in earlier episode, 'characters' are exaggeration of notmal trait. An anime character may have been suddenly gone hot blooded but a real person wouldn't be like that. Especially considering his circumstance and guilt relating to Setsuna's death.

It honestly baffled me that people expecting a kid with some level of mental trauma to act like they would do.
