Elephant Parade posted:I think they were all released within a couple of months save for Sayaka, who took half a year or something ridiculous It's cause Sayaka is the OP of the OG. I mean, did you check out that glorious sakuga? It was a great opening episode, but I think it is pretty clear it won't be representative of the season going forward. I mean, it isn't the OG's story. We have to go back to the Kamihama crew. We probably won't see the OG team again until near the end of the part or even until the second part later this year.

So for those who played the game, how involved are the OG5 in the story going forward (particularly Madoka and Homura)? Regardless, I liked that the season opened on what was basically a bonus episode of Madoka Magica (albeit in a different universe) but I imagine we’ll be going back to the MR cast next time.

That, or whatever the Magius did to Mami is contagious, and Sayaka and Homura are both slowly turning into Mamis themselves.

The ribbon is a visual metaphor about how Mami created a connection between these disparate people and now they're holding onto her memory. I don't think there's an in-universe explanation for it Edit: Thought Mami was dead for a second before remembering this is the other timeline...

They play a part in basically all of the main plot events, but they're all still side characters relative the Kamihama cast. But again, this is probably irrelevant, since the same thing applied to everything that happened in the game's version of season 1's events, but for the anime Madoka/Homura ended up not showing up at all. astr0man fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Aug 2, 2021 |

(pretty everything from this ep came from those stories) But in terms of the "main story" stuff, the anime has reduced their role (significantly in S1).

The second episode is out and we return to our main cast (or what’s currently left of them anyway). Some good plot stuff in this one and I kind of like the new OP as well.

Yeah, overusing Doppels having the side effect of bringing the user into a Witch-like state is a nice touch. Strange to hear this wasn’t the case in the game.

In the game it never really comes up in the main story, but there's optional side content that is focused on it (doppel release/uncap events).

The general stuff w/Yachiyo's backstory & emotional trauma from her wish comes from a mix of in-game main & side content, but everything that actually happens in the ep is new for the anime. Seems like the anime is going to really start diverging from the game now, I'm excited to see what they end up doing with Kuroe

I didn't think Mitama was on the level, but this just raises further questions. I didn't expect Yachiyo to catch on so suddenly, either. She's a sharp one.

I'm really curious about Kuroe in particular. She seems like she's been given an awfully important position for a character who's apparently not originally supposed to be here.

Kuroe's inclusion gives me great hope for this anime. There's a possibility for an anime-original arc that I think would make for great storytelling. While the first season was airing, I was wondering if the reason why Madoka and Homura didn't show up when they would have in a straight adaptation was because they were planning on giving them a greater role in subsequent seasons. Kuroe might be the key to this, since her storyline with Moemura proved surprisingly good. Other than that, I'm loving the lavish animation thus far.

And the gang’s all here, good episode this week. So far this season has been a lot better than the last one which had a bit of an episodic MOTW style format at first, whereas this is more what you’d expect out of a Madoka series. Liking the new ED as well. Next time, our star returns (hoping for more Homura at some point as well) Larryb fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Aug 14, 2021 |

Kuroe has an interesting attitude here. Like the mild disdain of someone who's been dragged off to some social engagement by her parents when she'd much rather be at home playing video games.

Elephant Parade posted:I mean, from the events of the episode it's pretty clear she cares about Iroha-- cares enough that it hurts her to see Iroha lying to herself, enough so that she's willing to risk a fight over it. She's just kind of surly It fits with everything else that's going on to make her feel like an outsider, too. She's new to this adaptation. She disappeared for most of the first season, and when we saw her again, she was suddenly with the Wings. She doesn't seem to have any strong connections to anyone else, and even the audience has never been told her first name. There's a lot of things that make her seem like she doesn't quite fit. That could just be bad writing, but I think there's something more to it.

She wasn't even in the first season's OP, which so trollishly included someone who's been dead since before the start of the story, and the two members of the OG crew who didn't show up at all until season 2.

I think this must also feel pretty weird for Kuroe given she basically ditched Iroha at the start of S1 and now Iroha is thinking of her as her super buddy in her dream, the vibe I get from her is like "I do appreciate that you care but also I don't entirely understand why??" She's an odd element of the show but I liked her a lot in these 2 episodes

And Iroha’s officially back in action, we got a bit more of the OG gang this time as well (poor Kaede though) I forget, how long is the current season going to be again (I know they said a while ago that they were splitting it into two parts)?
