That's really sad. Rest in peace.

Watching the episode again, I can't help but find odd the close up on Mirei's legs.

Back on the first episode the camera also linegered on the masochist girl's crotch for no reason, the manga adaptation has fluid clearly dripping from her leanding me to think that detail will be added on the BD release and yet, the scene on Mirei suggest otherwise. What if the liquid is another substance that will be properly colored on the BD?

The fluid (love juice) is visible as well (her thighs), there is a drop that sparkles as well. The BDs will probably make it more prominent, as well as make that scene where the 'man's' head is between her legs not 'censored'/be more zoomed out. for those that missed it

I see my intention totally flew up your head. I was suggesting the possibility of said liquid being piss

Oh and the blushing argument? Mirei also blushed like crazy after Rain's kiss, kiss where she also expressed disgust

Or she was baiting her attacker to get closer at her. Mamori's sword doesn't has a lot of range after all, and Mirei was able to slice one of her wings as soon she got free from the illusion. Mirei has military trainment after all.

Actually, the way the baddie speaks about Mamori and her freak out at Mirei breaking free from the illusion should be proof enough that succumbing to the pleasure doesn't breaks the illusion.

Well, she hasn't shown any kind of reaction before. Not when she was being tortured nor being attacked. In fact, the only reactions she had so far were related to Mamori on some way or another.

Is actually a good thing they shown her clearly disgusted by the whole thing.

Still involuntary, Mirei's expressions made clear she wasn't enjoying it

Who knows, even series with heavy subtext like LL are drown with that kind of Doujins so I doubt it will be significative here. Is gonna make /a/ threads unpleasant now though

That is still no reason to include it. Could've just shown her as not being able to hit at all rather than what they did.

Certainly they could've done it differently but I can understand the logic for it. Really, the only thing I regret is that we didn't saw Mirei giving Charlotte's cronie an epic beating.

Guess we have different interpretations because to me it is evident she's looking right at her/their breasts (just rewatched that scene) and narrows her eyes as if to see more clearly. And her look isn't one that is seen on those who are lost in their thoughts.

Different strokes I guess. In any case I'm willing to see where the show goes now.

Doesn't matter if it's involuntary, she still 'enjoyed' it. As in, she still got horny. Now as far as I know, most women don't get turned on when they're being raped, that's why there's rupturing when there's sexual assault, while Mirei was dripping through her jeans (you know how hard that is to achieve?). Could've easily gone without that. Now I'm wondering whether or not they'll show her in full in the BDs and not just her torso. I still understand that it's involuntary, but come on, this isn't a gangrape hentai where every girl is orgasming left and right.. As a matter of fact the thing about Mamori and her 'crushing' on Akira didn't bother me as much as I thought it did because it got overshadowed by this and because as you said, the crush is rather immature because of how it's shown.

For me that was done to stage an "Heroic second wind" moment. And actually, the manga adaptation does have the girls orgasming left and right, something that the anime also indluges as it was the sequence with Charlotte's harem on the pimp mobile

Even if she's in the OP and ED doesn't mean she's alive, just that she has/had a major role to play.

Her character profile downright says she's alive

Okay, I understand that, but even then, she would be able to recall the conversation even a little bit and start questioning it. And from what I saw, she was more focused on her/her breasts than stunned about Mamori's crush

Her whole attention is on Mamori so is unlikely se would recall a conversation at random. It might be a matter of perspective but she seems more lost in her thoughts than ogling Mamori.

Well, figured it would be like that. Though didn't expect for Mirei to be turned on from being (imaginary) raped. They're going the route of every woman is a nympho (though that is expected in this world) that gets turned on by everything (even rape). That brought the anime down a bit in my eyes. One could argue it's because of the illusion and stuff, but really? Seems I gotta be wary even more because of this. I am half-expecting for Mirei and her partner in the flashback to be raped and they would enjoy it, and then they kill her partner while she somehow escapes, considering she said that she's already experienced hell.

Also, as soon as Torino said about Akira being a Liberator, why didn't Mirei react? She more than anyone would know that there are no males that are infected, as well as the rest of the island if they do know that 'he' is a Liberator. Makes no sense, they state it very clearly and not 2 episodes later, they make them forget it.

Mirei's reactions to the illusion are clearly different to the ones she had with Mamori, so is less about her enjoying it and more about an involuntary bodily reaction. I mean, the whole point of the scene is showing her determination and strong will. If she would've enjoyed it, then she would've lost.

Her partner is alive, she's the cyan haired girl shown on both the OP and the ED, her name is Momoka

Mirei is socially stunted, she doesn't know how to react at Mamori's crush. On that scene in particular, is clear she wasn't focused on Torino's words.

I think you are giving this too much credit.

She saw a prince when Mirei rescued her. And now she sees someone who carries "himself" like a prince, which she sees like a "real" prince.

Shallow infatuation for both so far. Nothing emotional.

Exactly!

She's just getting exactly what she wanted and thus she's acting like any normal teenage girl would act. This is not only setting the development for her relationship with Mirei is also stablishing Akira like a very manipulative and cunning individual.

After watching the subs and thinking a little on it. It wasn't so bad.

Mamori crushing so hard on Akira is dissapointing of course but is perfectly in line with her character. Two days earlier Mamori would've never questioned her sexuality and was by all accounts a normal girl. So she clinging so hard on anything that gives her some normalcy back is reasonable. This on the other hand gave us the chance of seeing a more expressive Mirei that along the illusion scene cements her like a full blown lesbian

Now the scene itself is VERY uncomfortable to watch but that is precisely the point. Torture Mirei, and considering her background as child soldier, well, it is the most logical fear to have. It does a lot for her characterization since before this she seemed to be utterly uninterested on her well being and instead fully devoted to Mamori's. In short, this humanizes her a lot

Akira and Torino's interactions seems to point that there's something larger in place than wha we thought, adding a new complexity layer to the plot and potentially outing Lady Lady as villians. Kasumi's twist was very well done and Charlotte keeps being a very entertaining character to hate

The episode was certainly the weakest so far but nothing that makes me downright drop the series. I do hope they don't pull something like this again tho.

WELP

Kind of a shitty episode today

Anyone knows why the 4th ep was delayed?

Delayed? Where did you heard that?

That was really cute although the end had some weird pacing.

The summary for episode 4 is live on the series' site and while it reveals some very juicy stuff Lady Lady vs Zero Arm there's a bit that doesn't sit that well with me due the possible implications Mamori mets the Governor and can't stop thinking about him

If is being played straight (heh) it kind of undermines her moments with Mirei on the past episodes.

Fun chapter although the art felt odd for some reason.

I hope something happens soon though, the joke is starting to wear thin.
