Well Saber is an adult just with a body that stopped aging after a certain point.

That's what all the 500 year old lolis say...

As I've said I somehow run into a lot of it, and that's part of why I don't want to jump back into it and intentionally look for the nonsense just to prove a point or whatever, I don't feel like I have anything to prove and it's not worth the mental health toll.

I mean that's your prerogative but I don't know you from Adam and have no reason to take you at your word. If you change your mind I'll be around.

Also as someone who is a Fate fan I can tell you Fate/Kaleid gets a TON of hate on social media.

I can confirm this because I am one of the haters. The REAL Illya is 18 years old and evil. I will never acknowledge Fate/Kaleid.

We're only getting half the story here. This doesn't explain Lord's feelings.

I don't know, that ice pick confession was pretty convincing.... Who wouldn't fall for her?

Trotsky, probably.

That's fine, just like you have no reason to take me at my word I don't know you either, and so I have nothing to prove to you myself. It works out well like that. So all I can say is good bye and nice chatting :)

DUDE THEY'RE MAKING AN ANIME LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
all my faves get axed. the universe is finally throwing me a bone I literally can't fucking contain my self im gonna explode

okay okay. but like. this chapter. Berserga being a freaky little yandere but in a wholesome way nursing her girl back to health and keeping her safe is so adorable. the meat eating scene was very kinky, i feel blessed. I think this is really interesting, bc it took Enorme getting humbled for her to actually see someone else reach out to her, and experience a connection that is not founded in her power. Berserga likes her bc she's strong, obviously, but she's entering this relationship not from a place of power but as a product of someone else's care, and I think that's a really cool potential angle on her maybe changing?

It seems like Utena, in her infinite wisdom, is going to try to pull the type of shit she did with Loco and Leber, and try to get Enorme to experience a type of intimate emotional connection that might pull her out of the isolated headspace she was in. I totally wouldn't have predicted that path for her and that sounds so cool.

I'm a bit worried what Vena was up to though...

Baiser seems to be on to Vena, at least to some extent. Could happen.... :)

I have been eagerly anticipating Vena eating shit for like three arcs now, I'm so ready.

What about HF True End though? Or all of Heaven's Feel really. Stupid Nasu cutting the Illya route...

Prisma llya isn't explicit but I still think its more comparable to Akogarate than stuff like Redo. Definitely don't have the Fate bucks but I'm still cautiously optimistic it'll get a good studio. I still can't think of a good seiyuu for Utena but if I had to pick one I'd probably go for Yamaoka Yuri mostly for her VN roles. We'll see I suppose.

Nah, he's just clearly been a conniving little shit since... actually, I think I've been waiting for him to get his since the start, actually.

Although he is surprisingly popular as a social media influencer, with 20k followers. What is his channel even like? Is he Enormeeta's PR guy or is that his personal account?

I wouldn't say Illya is evil (Yes she is 18). More like Fate/Kaleid is more of an AU(alternative universe) where Illya wasn't abused by her family [her mother dying for a monkey paw wish device=dying for nothing] and told by her grandpa that her father abandon her for some random kid (Shirou) which cause her to direct all her fking hate to him since her father died [grandpa force her daddy away since he too cripple to fight or see her]. It fine to not accept it since that Illya is very different and not the same age and had the love of both her parents without any abuse...sometimes what makes a person who they are or what people considered that person is more than just their DNA and appearance...It also the history of that person sometimes and what they experience. That illya is also Illya...but also not the Illya you know and probably like lol XD

Anyways enough about fate and more on to our amazing MC.

Looking forward to seeing MC stage things so the ex-leaderess of force of evil try to fight to safe her waifu.
Will it be
A.) Fight at first but team up with the magical girls to save her captured waifu
B.) try to save her waifu but get captured then DOM before MC watch wrestle in bed?
C.) MC and her team fight it out in a 3 way battle before eventually getting team rocketed?
D.) All of the above?
E) Something we won't expect and totally new(unexpected will occur)

Twitter is probably going to have a stroke and go all SJW butthurt and some snobby elite media site trying to slander the upcoming anime ....but it Twitter...their very existence should be ignored when they complain or try to pointless cancel whatever they do not like (which is fking almost 90% of everything). You would figure they would do something more productive to help the world but they are too lazy and rather just complain/insult stuff to feel morally superior XD

Can we please stop discussing Fate here? This thread is a Looking Up to Magical Girls discussion, where I'd like to discuss Looking Up to Magical Girls.

Which basically proves their point, doesn't it? :D I think ever since Madoka, the reasonable suspicion about the motives of any non-human entity granting superhuman powers to children before putting them in life-threatening situations has become a genre staple, especially in subversive works like this one.

Uh, no. Venalita never presented an air of innocence, nor did it give Utena even the illusion of choice. It FORCED the role of Baiser onto her.

Here, third actual page in the whole comic: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/looking_up_to_magical_girls_ch01#6

And then when she expresses that's not what she wants, it blackmails her a couple pages later.

This isn't anything like being suspicious because of genre savvy, it's being "suspicious" after we watched a crime take place. And everything we've seen of it only makes it more clear that it has an agenda and it sucks.

The Incubator is insidious, but there's no sense giving it credit it didn't earn.

Not sure why, but the talk about Kyubey suddenly has me grateful it was named Kyubey and not Beta or Inkyu (because kyubey is the only part of incubator that isn't easy to turn into an immature sex joke)

I’m confused about what happened between 46 and 47… so at the end of 46 lord is surrounded by baiser and the others, then start of 47 she’s just alone? How she manage to escape them? Or did they just left her alone there? Ig they did.

On page 9 of this chapter Sister Gigant is looking down at Lord as she conveniently finds the trans items she needs. Might this imply that Gigant put them there for her to find?

Not necessarily. Vena may have just had her discard Lord for extra irony in the same pile where they discarded the items. Her return as Imitatio was certainly an unwelcome surprise for Vena, at least, and stopped Vena's plans for a bit. Although Gigant also quietly opposing Vena's real plans would be an interesting development as well.

Pretty sure she did it deliberately given her fake bafflement over the missing transformation items.

Thats our Utena, even when she loses she wins

Utena covertly reforming Lord into a proper magical girl is just the best.

Dear Princess Celestia,
Today, I've learned a valuable lesson in friendship. That is that during a fight against Imitatio, you do not want to get caught with 'Love Potion #13' (unless you are Sayo)
Sincerely, your loyal student <3

Now THAT is how you use a buster sword lmao

Sister Gigant is certainly getting up there, I wonder if she's getting off on doing this sort of thing judging by her expression at the end.

I wonder if she's doing for herself or for someone else.
We do not know much about that.
