| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The girls are enjoying the festival together (we see Madoka is actually a beautiful actress) until Lan and Muginami are pulled away by other clubs to help them. Madoka feels lonely because of this, and feels even worse when she learns that the chairman will only allow them to fight against KISS. However, Madoka doesn't give up and chases after them, even when the other two girls have already taken off to engage the enemy (and there are a lot more of them now). On another note, Asteria can really play video games. |
| This episode was rather uneventful focusing mostly on the obligatory school festival and highlighting Madoka's uneasiness seeing how both Lan and Muginami managed to make some friends on their own causing her to feel depressed. So, Yurikano is indeed dead and the three male adolescents have decided not to fight under Villagulio's order but rather to follow what they consider Yurikano's wish though they have doubts whether she would have wanted them to avenge her. I wonder what the barrell-like object is which Machiko showed Yoko at the end. So, Madoka resembles her mother a lot according to Yoko, huh? Then let's hope she doesn't meet the same fate as her. |

| im starting to wonder: how pointless can an anime get ? this season realy blows except 3-4 anime. |
| Asteria enjoying the festival was cute, she can play the arcades like a badass but what's this girl got against Madoka, consider her feelings and give her permission to pilot Midori. Madoka went after Lan and Muginami anyway disobeying her orders which isn't surprising, maybe after Asteria she's Madoka ward off the invasion she'll open her heart a bit. |
 |
| Madoka temper got the better of her near the end still will she be able to get near her unit since it was sealed of by that organisation. And what will her effect on the battle be. The enemy coming in large numbers predicts a harsh battle the question is how will three girls hold up against a entire fleet. |
| Nice episode ok I wanted Asteria to be accidentally exterminated by some robot or something like this... in the begining she was fun but later I don't know, somehow irritating. She knows what Madoka is up to, so probably she's fine with her using Midori again so it seems that battle will come - and what will Madoka do (except joining in the battle and saving the day) and that crisis of hers... nicelly played but she will get better with power of her simple mind (=/= she is stupid, simply follows few of hers rules and is focused on action). |
| Not much happened this episode, just mainly some development of Madoka and her uneasiness of being alone. |
 |
| I found the episode interesting - probably because of how I see things. It's my feeling that the "flowering" is a result of the Vox feeding off of intense raw emotions from their pilots, so the lead up to this coming battle focusing on Madoka's emotional state and inner turmoil is important. I'll also note that Madoka's Vox appeared to be activating itself as she got closer, probably reacting to her current state - I wonder if it's going to try to break out on its own to get to her. |
 |
| Not too much happening, so I think this episode it was okay. Can't wait for the mecha action next time. |
 |
| Good episode,the continuation of the festival. The 3 girls enjoying the festival,Lan and Muginami make new friends and Madoka being jealous of it since she is afraid of being alone again.... Asteria is a great Loli not only she is a master in games also a glutton but she is bitchy to Madoka in many levels...hopefully later she became less bitchy. Villagiulio begins to move and Madoka make her choise,next episode finally we get some action....lets see how it goes. |
| I am guessing Yurikono is Madoka's mom and was the teacher of the 3 boys while they were in school in the manga. Next episode will be a big fight! |
[center] |
| Just more confirmation to me that Villagiulio and his group are not the actual villains here. It looks like both the delaying tactics and the "attack" are sacrificial moves designed to prompt some sort of development in the Vox and the three pilots (as was his calculated dismissal of Muginami). He also appears to have no difficulty in letting the three male pilots follow their own interpretations of Yurikano's wishes--not your typical villain's attitude to underlings. Apologizing to Grania (presumably for the losses that her force will take) might also indicate that the whole "attack" is staged for some other effect. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| And now Giviguvio was shown to be actual good guy, with his earlier attitude i guess he and his group is more like, nautral? As in not bad but willing to fight main good guys for yet unknown greater good. Like VioLink said above i think Yurikano might be Madoka's mother, few things could suggest that and there's always almost exact same appearance of those two. It was kinda sad seeing Madoka get depressed at her friends becoming more independent. Wasn't suprised she got over it quickly, but that makes the whole development a bit pointless, i guess they have time to stuff it in due to 2nd season? All in all, enjoyed the episode, the festvial was fun and the battle seems... promising i guess. Wonder about that barrel object that Madoka's sister and that teacher found in the clubroom is. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| Alright episode would had been better if they focused a little bit less on the festvial but still excited for next week,If Giviguvio would be considered Nautral and Madoka being Order then whos Chaos :P. |
 |
| Kat (kiltroutgore) normally blogs about Rinne no Lagrange but she's away. I'm filling in for her and you can find my thoughts about this episode on her blog |
|
| lol'd when Asteria ordered Madoka to get her all that food. Upset that the Lan and Muginami would keep a secret from Madoka even though they were ordered to. |
| This episodes makes me believe even more that Viluagio something isn't the right 'bad guys' of the whole series.... something has been off about that since his first apparition in the show... |
 |
| WOW! Mamiko Noto had something that amazing stored in the room? I can't wait to see them use it. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I smell a big fight next episode :> |
 |
| Insipidly bland, and filled with tripe. Oh well, there's always next week. But pretty soon, they're gonna run out of next weeks. |

Very nice episode. For one it introduced Grania in the following, And might I add a hot mature tanned skin female. She has a nice bust size and sure does not look like she is scared to show it off from her clothing. With the end of the episode leaving out the following,  With no further logic than to deduct that a pilot of the Legendary Vox may be able by sheer will summon that Vox to anywhere that pilot is I fear that feature may be the doomed device that no place can keep a Vox secure. It will break out to join its master to their calling. There really may not be any other way than to kill the Vox pilot to gain their Vox. About Asteria x Madoka, I can certainly not be mistaking of the second breast grab in the spoiler Add to that of that licking off food in the spoiler Other points,
About the preview, put it this way in the spoiler BTW End Art in the spoiler Image Stitches are done in the spoiler GIFs are done in the club: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=412983 Lan and Muginami ones. |
| The festival was nice! Ooh, Madoka activated her Vox remotely it seems. This'll be a surprise for the commander, Lan and Muginami I'm sure. Looking forward to next week's battle. |
 |
| 2nd season is confirm .I think I will continue watching it as well. The idiot trio gonna take picture together and forming their own Jersey club just like Madoka and her friend...Seems like big battle start next week . |
| Madoka really looks pretty in that movie poster. I so wanna hug Lan after what she went through that horror house and Mugi-chan teasing, then Lan pushing the cotton candy on Mugi-chan's face was funny. |

| Was that barrel-thing in the office some type of firework shooter? I pictured someone stuffing a bunch of explosives into the hole and shooting them off. That, or a human fits inside and perhaps they go shooting off. o.o I wonder since Madoka can activate Midori (to an extent) from such a distance, will that lead to Madoka eventually being able to call/summon her Vox a la' remote control? She does seem to be more in tune with Midori than the other girls' and their respective Vox's. The "bad guys" not really the bad guys. Perhaps they exists to throw a wrench into the real bad guy's/good guy's plans down the line. I like where that's going. I laughed at the guy's shirt that's standing near Madoka in the concert scene, "FUCK KEN". That dude doesn't like Ken very much. :D Also, obligatory "Lan is too freaking adorable" comment. Even though I'm expecting something like that to happen every episode, I can't help but melt whenever she blushes or fails at something. |

She does seem to be more in tune with Midori than the other girls' and their respective Vox's As of first - it was Madoka's mother using it... and looking at similarities between them she could be launching someone (with high probability that she was said person :D For the second - on the begining there was something as Madoka seeing Midori. But I'm not sure if it was some vision or she really saw her. Since it activated somehow I don't see problems in being able to respond to Madoka's call. Next episode battle seems nice, those ships in space will drive Voxes away while Magical Quarted will strike either at their backs or, more probably, at their base. But wouldn't it be simplier to use good old planetary bombardment just to get rid of this tiny island? Like dropping that damaged ship from earlier. |

| i wonder what that cylinder looking thing was.. Also i like asteria, she's cute and badass at the same time. always harassing madoka is funny too. so madoka feels depressed and sad of the feeling of losing those 2, and then learn that they, lan and muginami are ordered to fight the enemy alone. what they don't know is that the enemy has a large number of combatants, so i'm hoping by madoka disobeying orders and going after them, it will help them win. whatever happens then, we don't know. ahh can't believe there's only 2 episodes left! :/... but for a while now a 2nd season had already been announced so i'm glad for that. so looking forward to more of this anime! |
 |
| Okay.... Well I'm annoyed we didn't see much happen until the end this episode. I'm really starting to dislike how slow this anime is going.... I don't necessarily mean battles all the time, but there needs to be more substance when the mechas aren't fighting. |

I think Asteria set the whole thing up, just so Madoka could face her inner feeling and make a decision, or something. Seriously, this loli knows way too much, it's almost scary. So they've revealed the "legendary" firework launching thingy. Is that a sign that the battle will end with a bang? |
| Great episode! This show is honestly really underrated. Anyone who says they hate this show clearly does not understand the point of it. This isn't an "epic mecha fights" show, it's a show about the relationships that develop between people and how, in the face of tragedy and despair, people still manage to enjoy the simple things in life. It's a friendship show, not an action show. |
| Enjoyed this weeks far more than last weeks, of course it was also helped by the fact that the OST was on point in this episode. The battle for the Vox's is about to begin (again) and it looks like its for keeps this time. Its interesting i do wonder what Asteria motives are. Was she trying to make Madoka realize something or was she purposely provoking her into an emotional state? She doesn't seem malicious but what she was doing seemed dangerous given the fact that high emotions act as the catalyst for triggering the catastrophe. |
 |
| I'm disappointed, but I hope that some awesome things will happen in the next episode. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

| It was interesting to see Madoka being jealous, but the story leaves a lot to be desired. I'm losing interest every passing episode. 4/5. |
| Lol the first few minutes was pretty funny, smh there's just no reasoning with Madoka's ideology. And Lan has really grown on me these last two eps, starting to like her more and more. Well looks like Madoka has made up her mind, hell yeah go Georgy cub! Its time for a huge battle. |
 |
| A nice build up episode |
 |
| I've been wondering for a while now if she could summon it, guess we'll find out next episode. |
| Vox Aura could potentially destroy the earth but she wants pilot it anyway cause she's feeling lonely or some shit. Great. |
| It's a little irksome that they spent a whole episode focusing on yet another school festival. The previous the couple of episodes, their going to school has been completely left out; it seems that they're only ever going to school when there's a festival. Also, Madoka's refusal to just do as she's told and sit tight irks me. It's like she doesn't trust Lan and Muginami to be capable of handling things without her. |
 |
| Astrea ordered to keep Madoka from piloting Midori yet she stirs her up by telling Madoka's afraid of losing people who are dear to her leading to Madoka rushing off to Pharos. Do you want her to fight or not? Make up your mind damn it. |
