THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I can't help but laugh @ those artwork at school. They look weird as hell to me anyways. Haven't seen Shiro in quite awhile so was somewhat surprising to see him again I guess.

I hope Illya returns to her old self again soon though. Watching her being depressed makes me sad as well.

I'm first?!...*cough cough*

Well, I hope Illya cheers up soon enough! It feels kinda strange seeing her like that. At the very least, the atmosphere isn't unexpectedly dark anymore and we aren't having anymore sudden life-or-death situations~ For now anyway.

After all, there's still one Class Card left. I wonder how the group is going to deal with Berserker, and if he'll have his God Hand ability with him... o-o

It's because it wasn't in the first series but in 2wei. It's a good move in my opinion. Adds more mystery to Miyu as a followup to last episode when she was asked why she was a maid in Luvia's house.

And they're leaning more on the side of Miyu being this strong person and Illya being scared to die and less on the side of her panicking about her weird power and maybe hurting others. They followed that up with Rin asking Miyu after they left Illya which further supports that she doesn't really want Illya to get hurt and fight anymore.
It may or may not be a good move in the long run but the next episode/chapter does support this with the appearance of a certain person and their talk. They can touch about the power in the second season as that's where it gets focus.

The classmate portions were once again too much but it's a necessary padding I guess to get to the last part of the episode. I enjoyed the Sel/Leys discussion more and Shirou misinterpreting stuff.
The last episodes will be close but they can manage to fit the remaining chapters this way. Hope the animation will be as good as episode 6.

Meh episode. SO I guess they will pace it out with fillers now. Should not have rushed through the material.

REALLY not okay with them altering the reason for Illya's angst. Illya's freak out about her powers highlights that its not an asspull, that htey HAVE plot significance BEYOND just being there. And we all know just HOW IMPORTANT ILLYA'S
is.

REALLY not okay with one of DEFINING Illya's character moments being usurped by unneeded Myu development And IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, the atmosphere of the situation is ruined by comedy filler.

Makes me worry how they will handle Zwei and Drei material.


2/5

You make it seem as if something VERY IMPORTANT was lost, when an important person that shows up later in this season hasnt even talk about it with Ilya yet.It doesnt matter if they "develop" her some time later.

I am not talking about


I am talking about illya's characterization.

The freak out SHOULD NOT BE ABOUT


It should be about




Instead it all was simplified to the first case.

It turns Illya from supposed normal girl who is freaking the fuck out to a generic "protect people" shounen hero, which Illya is NOT at this point in the story.

Exactly that.

As for her "escape powers"...Using Install while on trance while skipping ALL the chant is good enough.

I don't think Miyu was being a bitch for the sake of it, maybe she didn't want Illya to fight anymore so as to protect her? That's what usually happens anyway.
That maid action is really nice. Makes you like the fact that the target demography is male.

Normal girl again for Illya but she is not happy... even though Rin is kind and understanding... I think the biggest plus of this episode is to see the side characters from the maid sisters to Illya's classmates given some spotlight of humor LOL
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Sort of a drama episode, just Illya decides if she still wants to be a magical girl or not after the previous episode incident. Miyu, still being harsh to her, needs to reconsider that she needs Illya's help from collecting the final card. Well the ending looks like it's bout to go down... Can't wait to see.

Well it is a good thing Shiro made an appearance but less screen time, and the family, well it was comedic.

I haven't read the manga but I think you're overreacting. It wasn't all about Miyu she realized that she's scared of dying and that it isn't fun and games. Take her words from the end of the episode.
Anyways, this was obligatory sad episode after the fallout. I felt it was kinda drawn out but succeeded in making me feel bad for Illya. I'm guessing next episode will be

In anime, Illya did her big blast wishing to protect everyone. Myuu then ridicules her for saving everyone's lives and Illya spends next episode sulking about it.

In manga



The first case points poor poor Illya depressed about loosing a friend.

Okay, thanks for explaining and not yelling at me because I didn't read the manga. I just thought the way the anime did it was fine but after you explained it, I agree the way it happened in the manga was better.

You know looking at her like this makes me wish they just used Ilya's art form teh FSN anime.THe change is just TOO MUCH here.I know her looks dont make her char but come on...Shirou and Iri really look weird.

I just hope that they will fix it at least a bit in 2wei.That goes for other chars too.I just dont want to see Bazett look like this.

You do realize that if this series is successful they will keep the character designs (why change the formula when you are successful enough, look what happened to coca cola) and if the series is not successful chances are slim they will invest money in a second series (or another ova) and do a retooling of the character designs. Change in character designs are almost exclusive of series reboot/relanuch, like in Rozen Maiden.

Have you noticed while watching this series that the faces are good in some panels and in some dont look like they are chars from a Fate/ series?
That is the problem.
For most of the ep Iri was great(for this kind of char design) but in some she was like she was a different char.
IF they ever animate the rest they have to improve their designs.

That is a pretty common problem, we have already noticed how some scenes are fixed from the webcast to the tv broadcast, it is only natural to expect those flaws you mention to be solved in the disc release, nowadays many studios work on the clock, even if they are doing a highly popular series like Attack on Titan (which in theory means they are not understaffed). They might not fix later on the errors you mention, but people buying the discs will notice and it might hurt sales so they have an invested interest in delivering (even if late) the best product they can create.

Damn, Miyu is arrogant. I'm like 99% sure right now that the next episode will go something along the lines of:
1. Rin, Luvia and Miyu go to the mirror world
2. They get facerolled by dark Berserker
3. Illya becomes a magic girl again and fights
4. Something something and then they're all friends again

Well, that's what would happen if this was just another predictable scenario. If that doesn't happen...then it will probably be even better <3

Jeez, people really do take the manga way too seriously. If you're going to freak out like that, just stop watching anime and stick to reading manga. You know it's never going to be 100% the same.

Kinda a meh episode, especially after the fight with Saber. Is it some kinda requirement that the hero always has to lose his resolve and give up his/her life of fighting, only to return when their allies are getting their asses kicked due to not having Main Character Power on their side?

It was kinda nice to see Shirou and some of the other side characters again.

Hopefully the last two episodes will be better, and the fight with Berserker is one I've been looking forward to the whole series.

There's a HUGE difference between "some deviations" and "complete 180 degree change from what was supposed to happen, for absolutely no fucking reason".

Also yes, Type Moon fanbase takes their canon very seriously. That's why we have yet to have Tsukihime anime - no one in Japan is confident enough they could pull it off. That's also why only now we will be getting FSN adaptation.

Plot that sees a rather simple structure, it has never stood for originality, so I'm not complaining now, just because the episode seems like a filler.
