Another mesmerizing episode. I'm really surprised how the Rena arc started fast though. Pacing is faster than the manga. Interesting to notice how this side story feels different from the original Madoka despite being the same universe, specially if we consider how dark the original story is. Here, you may get yourself to like all characters, even Kyuubey.
Actually there is LOTS of stuff we can talk about.
For starters, Mangetsu is actually super powerful? If thats true, why she never even knew about the existence of magic until a while ago? Also, her sister is even more powerful? What? That could help explain why Mangetsu found herself in the middle of the Granbelm without even understanding anything. I guess we should rewatch the earlier episodes to see if we didn't miss anything.
Seconds, what kind of sociopath is Suichou? It looks like she's completely manipulating the situation. The whole kiss thing was just a way of provoking Kuon to maybe make her lose her focus or something along these lines? Or maybe she's just using her as a toy.
Also i would like to say that i liked how Mangetsu and Shingetsu became good friends. At the start of the series i thought Shingetsu would be the "arrogant-but-powerful" type of character, because of her way of acting and talking, but at this moment I like her a lot. Such a great development over her.
this episode had a better flow than the last one. I specially liked the moment that Yuuko's mom said that she was expecting her to become friends with a mahou shoujo to break the seal. It's kinda whats happening.
At this moment, Yuuko and Momo are already friends but none of the two will assume that, of course.
I think she said it because she understands that Yuuko could actually defeat her if she was a bad girl. And is also probably a way of being nice, as Yuuko always says this.
I liked this episode a lot. But i felt it was extremely rushed. So much dialogue running so fast, i could barely read the subs. But even so, i thought it was the most precious episode so far.
Now, scanlators, please translate the other volumes of the Machikado Mazoku manga. I never asked you anything.
