You do it the same way you post images in regular posts, the only catch is the images have to be uploaded to the server, either as a previous Avatar or by an Admin. In the case of your av you could just reload your same av, and put
code:

a bunch of times into the text box underneath.

Magia record is so insanely good. The first couple eps are kinda eh but it really hits its stride and the back third is just fantastic. The episode that mirrors the homura revelation episode is basically unimpeachable, explores a similar breaking down of the rules around magical girls in the franchise but from multiple perspectives and with a lot of verve and energy. Intensely good anime.

:crossarms: Really? This makes it sound better than original recipe Madoka. Now I'm curious because "I won't rely on anyone anytmore" (the Homura Revelations episode) was already something fierce.

I will say the last ep is an obvious cliffhanger for a s2 (that is confirmed but will probably take a while given current events) so keep that in mind. I wouldn't say stronger, it takes a bit longer to hit its stride and some episodes are a bit weak, and its animation isnt as consitent, but the characters feel a lot more dynamic and their conflicts with each other feel way more natural and varied. And Iroha feels like a stronger lead than Madoka, though of course Homura is essentially the actual protagonist of the original series.

It has things its better at and things its worse at, is how id put it.

Alright, I'll give it a try. I liked Madoka for what it was but I wouldn't mind having some stronger characterization in that familiar setting.

Magireco is great and I wish more people watched it. I like how Touka is introduced as the creator of a perpetual motion machine, i.e. a machine that breaks conservation of energy, and is later revealed to be the founder of the Doppel system, which appears to break conservation of magical energy, a law just as intrinsic to Madoma's setting as conservation of energy us to the real world. There are lots of little details like that.

I really, really dig how its status as a spinoff lets it kind of approach the same set of emotional problems as the original show but from a different perspective. The original show was pretty navel-gazey and individualistic - the climax of the show both mechanically and emotionally revolves around how Madoka specifically chooses to look at herself and act off of that self-image. But I feel like MagiReco is approaching the same problems of despair and toxic, self-reinforcing, predatory systems from a community perspective - both that of Iroha, Yachiyo, and their found family of magical girls and the Magius cult.

It's definitely not as tight as the OG show was, the animation isn't as good even if the base layouts and storyboards are still consistently rad, and I can see being an adaptation of an ongoing mobage being a real potential problem when it comes time to hit some kind of actual ending, but there's definitely cool stuff there to chew on and I was kinda bummed how many people I saw write it off as a cheap cash in or holding it to the rather unreasonable standard of having to match or surpass the original show.

i was pleasantly surprised at how little it cared about replicating the shock value aspect of the original, and at how effective the horror stuff still was without that. i also really really liked the episode about the green haired girl whose name i forget now

even with lesser animation it still puts most tv anime to shame visually with the layouts and overall style
