I think they're referring more to when the siblings chant their dumb chant and then glow red.

I actually like that. It seems to be one part magic chant and one part soldier creed.
If I was training a regiment of elite soldiers, I'd totally do something like that. Even if it didn't cause a red power-up.

EDIT: It also encourages distancing one's emotion from one's actions and dehumanizes the enemy. That's pretty good.

I read up to the latest chapter in the Chaika manga. While it has its merits, the show does action scenes much better and the director made the extremely wonderful decision to cut down Akari's brother complex. I was honestly shocked how much the manga plays that poo poo up compare to the show. So big props to them for that.

I hate to say it but the torture makes sense in a horrific way. If magic power is derived from memories then I would expect clearer and more vivid memories to yield more energy. What could be more vivid and deeply etched than memories of torture? Not to mention that such memories can be easily and reliably created. Ugh. :smith:

Yeah, Zita says this verbatim. She also notes that they used sensitive young girls for maximum effect. :smithicide:

Gotta say, this show has really thrown off the kid gloves.

Second season preview.

New footage starts half way in.

I never understood these previews. You have blaring music while a voice over is describing the show and various sections of the episode are hastily glued together with jump cuts.

I'm gonna give this the benefit of the doubt and say that they tried to create a spoiler-free trailer, which is why little of note is in it.

Haha, no, it's because next to none of the animation is done yet.

Yeah, I know. :( But I have hopes for this, dammit!
