Will this show beat Madoka and become the next anime of the decade?
>No more Boipuccele
No
Nah, it's the epitome of trying too hard
>>149497667
Explain.
>>149497427
No, it revealed its hand too soon. We as the audience should be kept in the dark to what is happening, not have it spelled out to us.
>>149497427
stop this shitposting and make a new general
>>149497427
>LN adaptation
>anime of the decade
Pick one
However, it's good enough to be anime of the season
>>149497427
Not until it gets to the later parts.
>>149497427
There can never be another Madoka. Madoka got popular because it pretended to be Nanoha for two episodes and then sucker punched its audience in the balls. It was unexpected and made an otherwise typical season exciting. You can't get the same effect when every mahou shoujo that comes out advertises itself as DARK and EDGY because they think that's why Madoka made lots of money. It wasn't the content, it was the fact that Shaft actually pulled off a twist and made it work. Just like how every mecha show after NGE had to suddenly have angels because that's totally why NGE connected with so many people.
>>149497800
It's hard to explain, but for me it feel like it's trying way too hard to be grimdark and shit
>>149497973
>aots
But that's not Flip Flap
>>149497427
No, it spoiled its edge right from the start and is basically edgy for the sake of edgy. While Madoka did rely on shock value, the violence wasn't just thrown in gratuitously, and the progression of the psychological deterioration of the characters was sufficiently contextualized.
>>149498006
It's episode 5 and it's the first time it got gory.
>La Pucelle dead so early
I'm not okay with this.
>>149498082
That part was actually great.
>>149498064
And? It was grimdark from the very beginning, people started dying from ep 2 and pretty much the all the characters are assholes, unsufferable edgelords or complete morons
It's kind of boring, and it's flopping so no.
>>149497925
Where is my comfy thread?;_;
>muh Madoka
Read the LN or fuck off
Another shitposting thread by faggots who have no idea what they are talking about. Oh they are madoka fags too.
Fuck this thread. I'll go back and meet Nemurin and beautiful Calamity Mary again.
>>149498407
>muh Madoka
>not muh 'Doka
It's like you're not even trying.
>>149498286
This episode was great, I hope the anime keeps getting better.
>>149497667
nah, it hasn't tried to be anything more than Battle Royale with mahou shoujo
It has plenty of opportunities to start taking itself too seriously, but hasn't yet.
>>149498448
someone make the normal comfy thread, idk why someone made a thread with a bait OP
>>149498082
Neither am I. I think it was a little early. There was more the character was capable of.
>>149498082
>Magical Girl (male) and the actually entertaining robot dead at the same time
all i have left is based Cranberry

Here is the LN translation for anyone who wants to read it, Translator is based and works really fast, so there is usually a new chapter every 1-3 days
>>149498082
>Letting a male become a Magical Girl.
That was your one mistake, fav. What a waste of livestock.
>>149498715
Cheers, I was this close to looking in old threads for it.
Only if the finale has Boi Pucelle coming down from the heavens riding a chariot driven by six white horses to punch Fav in the face
>La Boicele didn't even get to experience the pleasure of being cummed inside
>>149499096
At least I got lewds from Pixiv
>>149498962
>Not harvesting the spiral energy of magical girls(male) to pierce the heavens
No QB, that was your mistake.
>>149498082
What was Magicaloid even using, some magic garrote?
>>149498448
But Calamity Mary is already beautiful.
>>149498448
>Op starts by comparing the anime to Madoka
>Get surprised when madoka fags show up
OP is a faggot as always
>>149499449
Were you expecting anything more?
>>149498006
>it's hard to explain
Yeah your post feel more like trying too hard here.
So where do you guys think they're gonna adapt up to tomorrow, if they don't adapt zombie western then they'll probably endDuring Weiss and Nana's confrontation with Swim Swim's crew, if they do adapt zombie western then they may just do a double side story episode, otherwise I don't see a good stopping point
>>149497427
No
La Pucelle was the only good thing about the show and he's dead now.
>>149498632
people are allowed to make thread without being a cancerous general you know
>>149499449
Anon I am not OP I just enter latest thread after waking up, I don't even see the bait cos I was half asleep, now I can't sleep.
>>149499548
Shouldn't we start a new thread? Anyone please?
>>149499573
That's just because you're a raging faggot.
>>149499603
sure go for it
This entire board has become Reddit with its fucking generals.
>>149497427
I gave this show two episodes and I got bored sorry
>>149499611
I don't even know what show this is.
>>149498005
Holy shit, this. I would suck your dick, anon, you are so intelligent
>>149499650
Don't you know of the 3 episode rule.
Just watch one more episode.I guarantee your opinion will remain exactly the same.
Which to fuck?
Did anyone else just get disappointed by this show? I really liked the premise of this girl and boy who watched magical girl anime as kids becoming magical girls themselves. It was really interesting. Then all these other dumb, obviously existing to be waifu characters came in and it just got too convoluted and I have to let it go....
>>149499650
Watch to episode 5 for the epic kills
is this the madoka thread?
>>149499877
You mean you're too retarded to follow the plot that you think it's convoluted?
>>149499877
gonnaneedabiggerbait.jpg

Always Mao Pam
>>149499877
>Then all these other dumb, obviously existing to be waifu characters came in
Really? Because I can count the number of this cast I actually like on my fingers and find the rest to be huge shits that had their deaths coming to them.
>>149497427
Absolute garbage.
>>149499877
I feel more or less the same as you. Even aside from the fetish appeal having a boy become a magical girl with his childhood friend is a pretty interesting idea, but there are way too many characters to have enough time to develop it.
I don't think the story itself is hard to follow, but it is hard to keep track of all the different characters and why we're supposed to care about them. I liked Nemurin because of her design but we got so little time with her (especially in the real world) that I wasn't that bothered by her dying. For a SERIOUS death game type scenario the show seems to quickly forget that the real world even exists.
>>149500017
The curse of battle royales.
But I personally think the show is making excellent use of what little time they have to have a quick exposition for each character.I don't want all these good girlsand boysto die. Why do they have to die!?
>This anime is just straightforward more aggressive, but still nothing compared to the psychological pressure and horror of Madoka
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1566641&show=100
What did he mean by this?
>>149500082
That's probably OP.
>>149500017
All the characters exposition that makes you supposed to care about them before their deaths are in the side story which may or may not be adapted.
Nemurin's side story herself ties in with the next arc character that reveals she isn't dead yet and still wandering in the dream world.
>>149497427
It's better than I expected it to be, but you'd have to be ignorant or insane to actually believe that.
>>149500061
Yes, there is exposition, but shoving "btw this is who Nemurin is" in a quick sequence after she died isn't good exposition.
So far all the non-magical-girl-related exposition has, to the best of my knowledge, only been done in flashbacks or similar quick dumps of information. I have almost no idea who Ruler was other than that she was a digruntled office worker (?). I did not care at all when she died.
I know people are going to defend this as being answered in the source material, and that's fine, but I'm only talking about the anime here.
>>149500082
Madoka was a soft ride from start to finish. The only thing it did was having pony effect. It put a lot of soft pastels up, made everything simple in interpersonal dynamics and had simple paper thin characters for autists to imprint on.
Don't get me wrong, it's good. To call it psychological though? THAT is what is horrifiying.
>>149500061
>I don't want all these good girls and boys to die. Why do they have to die!?
Really? Because to me most of the cast are complete assholes or morons too dumb to live
should I pick this up? Are the threads a good ride
>>149500464
The threads consist of mostly spoilers for later volumes.
>>149500464
just be prepared for black bars everywhere because everyone already read the LN covering the first arc
So, who's everyone's favorite magical girl for each arc. For me its Top Speed and Snow White for arc 1, Pechika and Detick Bell for Restart, Mao Pam and Funny Trick from Limited
>>149500464
Nah, threads are choke-full of spoilerfags and it's starting to become a cancerous circlejerk general
>>149500509
>>149500629
I fucking told LNfags not to link the t/l here. I fucking knew this would happen. They promised me that it wouldn't.
>>149500629
In defense of spoiler fags, people keep asking for spoilers but you are right, they should keep a spoiler free thread at least on episode's day.
>>149501261
Like hell it would happen, people gonna talk what they want to talk about.
>>149499255
Gee I dunno. Doesn't look like any kind of weapon I've ever seen before.
No comfy thread....
>>149501490
Then fucking make one
>more blood and edge makes a show superior
12-year-old logic.
>>149501490
Check the catalogue
>>149498671
>no elimination this week because la pucelle died
>magicaloid dies too
So there's now three weeks before the next forced droput? Not that anyone gives a shit about collecting candies anymore.
>>149501660
You're right
It doesn't matter because La Pucelle's death is the catalyst that turns the contest into a full blown bloodbath
>>149501740
I'm a filthy secondary, but I'm guessing that means that they're not going to stop at just 8 then, and Fav's dialogue with Cranberry in this past episode makes it sound like he doesn't really want it to stop there either.
>>149500144
I love Nemurin, she's nice. Nice that she's still around. Guess I'll read up on that. Thanks.
>>149501786You're right
>>149501786
Yeah,the asshole keep lowering the target to 4
>>149497427
It would be cool if they go all out, it actually would make the story original and unique, like just keep making all this girls kill between them in all sort of brutal ways, like a Mortal Kombat, but with cute magic girls.
>>149501864
>>149501836I'm hoping Ripple dies trying to save Top Speed from her oh-so-mysterious fate then, I'll wait to find out myself but she's a cunt.
So far away from
>>149501905
That's what this show is; its a Battle Royale with magical girls. Later volumes are different; Limited is more of a crime thriller sort of thing.
>>149501523
Go back to your moeshit it has no violence
>>149502419
Will do, dudebro.
>>149502169
I like my Mortal Kombat example more!
>FINISH HER
But that sounds nice, let's hope it get more and more seasonscause I ain't reading shit.
>>149502447
That's Chad-kun to you, friend.
Finally read First Arc and Second Arc.
I feel empty now.My favorite get killed left and right.
I'm waiting Limited to get fully translated before reading it.
>>149502536
who were your favorites?

That's pretty much all there is for now
>>149498005
So basically how the dark age of comics started. Except with anime.
>>149503090
Grimdark anime has been a thing long before Madoka.
>>149498005
Thread should've ended here.
>>149497427
In 1 year, literally nobody will remember this show for anything but La Boypucelle
>>149503216
No I'm talking about taking a popular thng and completely miss the point of it. Like how comic artists took Watchmen and thought it was the dark and edginess that made it popular.
>>149503429
You could say the same thing about Evangelion and waifus.
>>149503429
That has always been a thing with anime.
Hell, that's the reason we had an isekai and battle harem fad after SAO
Fuck no. The difference between madoka and this is that madoka was good.
>>149502940
I appreciate it!
>>149502840
Damn you sure showed me, you must have spent years here huh? Fucking kill yourself.
People compare it to Madoka a lot, but I don't think the comparison has validation. I don't think it is really trying to be the next Madoka or anything like that. Like...they both have magical girls in it, and that's about the only tentative string that connects the two series. Other than maybe magical girls getting their heads cut off.
So far, it has almost everything I want in a good battle royale series though. You've got some good plot twists. And I appreciate the fast pacing of the tale. I don't need a series lording over us that the girls will die if they lose the game, and only be discovered in the eighth or ninth episode as a "shocking" plot twist in endgame when the viewer knew all along. Totally glad they got that cleared up in episode two or three or something.
I'm a big comic book fan, and part of the joy in reading a comic book is that the plot is there just to get the Thing, Thor, and the Hulk in the same room, mad at each other, and willing to pummel each other at full strength for a whole issue. And that's why I like this one. It isn't that its plot is that deep, although it has the right twists to it, it is that it sets up magical girls to have a good little brawl, and won't hold back. It kills whoever loses, usually.
The two things holding it back, I feel, are the fact that it has a main character, which gives her a whole mess of plot armor and takes some drama out of the telling. Avengers Arena really did it better there, having each of the characters narrate an issue, so with the exception of Hazmat and X-23, we wouldn't know who would live to see the next day.
The second thing holding it back is its inadequate action scenes, which feel mechanical and boring.
There's no way this'll be the next anime of the decade, but I don't think it is trying to be. It's just trying to be entertaining and fun for those of us who like a wrestling match or something. If you just view it as that, you'll have a lot more fun with the series.
>>149503684
It's just an ad for the novel like any adaptations out there.
I'm here for the shitposts, memes, raging fags, and hopefully soon some hentai doujins.
>>149503742
>and hopefully soon some hentai doujins.
Everything will be futa crap. Let's pray for some bald old men to find the way to these girls.
>>149503673
>not knowing about fucking saucenao
>getting this assblasted for being exposed as a newfriend
>>149497427
I'm just happy we have an active and dedicated translator. It really help the fan base to always have something to talk about and keep shitposting to the minimum.
Robot was kinda a dick and didn't get much screen time or lines, but I'm gonna miss that sweet roboKuroko voice.
>>149503854
I know right, shitposters getting ignored while others talk in black bars really is the best thing to come out of translation project.
>>149503684
To be fair the LN came out merely a year after Madoka and the while the setting is completely different the whole "magical girls with a dark TWEEST" aspect reeks of bandwagonning, so I understand where the comparisons come from
>>149503684
This is only a prologue to a bigger story.
This series is just JoJo: Magical Girl edition.
>>149503854
Anon this thread is still full of shitposting.
I miss comfy threads.
>>149498064
He didn't say it was gory.
>>149503847
Or some yuri and maybe some creative use of that tail.
snow white has TWO (2) threads!!!!1!!
>>149497427
nah but i'll keep watching it
>>149501457
Anon you dummie, of course you've never seen it before, it's from the future...
>you will never watch Madoka for the first time again
>Male Magical Girl
>is cute and perfect
>fucking dead already
What a waste of a character...
>>149504920
They had to show how edgy and mature they were by killing the mentor/childhood friend character
I dropped this show as soon as the mascot thing said they were going to have to fight each other. Does it get good or does it just turn into MadokaV2?
>>149504920
I agree but what can you do. Apparently it is just setting the pace
>>149505134
Its a Battle Royale. Its dark, sure, but it really isn't trying to be philosophical or profound like Madoka. You're going to get fights and blood and suffering.
>>149505134
read the LN, its better. the anime isnt bad but it seems to not grasp people as much. the LN feels better and isnt as contrived.
nana and magicaloid a best
>>149497427
No, because it's not very good. It's just edgy and bloody for no real reason. It's the animated manifestation of a try-hard 13 yeat old trying to impress his older brother.
>>149505108
>>149505220
I feel like he didn't even get a chance to come into his own, nor did he die by protecting his girl.
He didn't even need to be her childhood friend/crush, for all the narrative impact he had.
I really hope his death means something, later.
>>149505260
I'll give it another episode or two. I hope that bitch Ruler gets what she deserves.
>>149505280
I believe it will go a little something like, "Real people don't have arcs, man".
I still like the show though.
I need spoilers, friends. I need them bad.How much longer until Cranberry dies? I need something to look forward to with this series. now that the best girl is dead.I mean Magicaloid, of course.
>>149505295
Oh yeah, then keep going, for sure.
>>149505311
Penultimate episode probably.
>>149505311
That should be in the penultimate episode.
>>149504316
One is for shit posting and terrible assumptions.
>>149505338
>>149505350
Fuck, this is gonna be hell to sit through like Bloodivores. At least I can assume something nice will happen by the end.
>>149505280
For me all characters have felt shallow and rushed so far.
Hell, for most of them all we got was a quick expository flasback right before they get killed
>>149505377
>something nice will happen by the end.
Haha;_;
>>149505411
Cranberry dying WOULD be nice. Bitch killed the knight offscreen like a fucking asshole. Offscreen kills are akin to Sci-Fi channel original movies; they're stupid and should not happen.She has some kind of tragic backstory, I assume?
Best girl.she lives, right?
>>149505450
From what I readher first contest ended with a magical beast killing off all the megucas except her, which made her batshit battle-crazy and open to Fav's suggestion on making the following contests into death games
that's the worst part, her start of darkness sounds so boring
It's already way better on all levels.
>>149497875
Would that have really worked post-madoka?
>>149505586
I think it could have if they kept the viewer and girls in the dark about what is happening when a magical girl stopped being a magical girl. They'd leave clues here and there but not come out and say they are dead.
>>149505586
It would have helped to have boypussy stay around longer and have their non magical girl relationship build. Then one day she can't get a hold of him no matter what she tries, finally discovering his rotting corpse. This would be a nice shock for the audience as well as the downward spiral of her psyche.
>>149505702
Someone already said here >>149503684 the audience would see it coming a mile away. No twists at all are better than poorly executed ones.
>>149505503longer than top speed
>>149506621not in the manga she doesnt
Still a better battle royale anime than JUZOBOYS
