blue reflection ray is a magical girl drama about girls who've been through some very real problems getting together to work out their issues and swing cool crystal swords around (mostly at each other). the shading is kind of wack and an obscure local law requires each episode's script to use the word "feelings" at least twenty times, but the show is nevertheless the anime of the season and a worthy watch. like fellow urban-supernatural dramas madoka magica, selector infected wixoss, and wonder egg priority before it got bad, it uses its fantastic elements to bring out the characters' struggles, not overshadow them, and the result is shaping up to be something truly special. (show's also loosely related to one-half-A JRPG blue reflection no subtitle but i haven't felt lost at all despite not having played it, read a synopsis, or leafed through the official prima strategy guide, so you should be safe to jump right in without pausing to build up social links for 40 hours) FEATURING:  a bookworm  an anime protagonist  a hypocrite  an incredibly gaudy phone  a cyberbully  an apprentice electrician  a girl who looks like she's choking the protagonist in the ED but then the camera pans up and she's actually hugging her instead  the nap master   NO monsters of the week except for one in a flashback that plays every other episode   watch now and get a FREE MOOD RING. don't, and the GAY MARRIAGE WAVES will tear you apart. the choice is yours......

Endorph posted:in order to start some actual discussion: with this being confirmed for two cours i do wonder if, say, the first cour will deal with the human antagonists while the second cour will actually have non-human enemies.

  idk why the subs melted for a minute halfway through the ep, but it was pretty cool otherwise, if a little loredump-y! opening the episode with "The First Day" like the episode is going to cover all three, continuing the pattern with "The Second Day" partway through, and then putting up the "The Third Day" slide as the ep ends is pure malice on the director's part
