Either way, Momo totally thought Shamiko invited her on a date. That outfit was unusually cute for her.

I suspect that the dress belong to Mikan.

I don't think so. It's very similar in style to her battle form. I think Momo was very into cute things but just happened to grow up into a tall musclehead. I'm not sure but I think she might have shown up with that sort of dress before.

Dunno, the dress seem to have Mikan color scheme (orange/green) and not Momo's one (pink/white)

On another note, Granbelm final was fine till the last part. Shingetsu ended in a limbo where nobody can aknowledge her and nobody remind her at all. Anna and Kuon still dead. At least Mangetsu get a real body. Kinda ironic that Mangetsu was willing to sacrifice herself for Shingestu and in the end it's the opposite who happen.Even if it doesn't make sense that Mangetsu get revive and not Anna and Kuon.

I took a screenshot of that part as well

Just a screenshot? That's my new wallpaper for the rest of the year, along with this being anime of the year, easily.

Machikado Mazoku

That was pretty gay, yes. Awkward place to stop, but at least the manga is pretty close

Well, they didn't actually show who that was at the end. The obvious answer is indeed Mangetsu, but that doesn't really make sense. Either way, I don't think the show focused on it's themes enough to pull off that kind of ending. I liked the show but I feel like this ended up being one of the weaker episodes

Well I said it before, I can't be happy with Granbelm "final lesson" because it's been done to death through many films, video games and manga/comic "This power is too much so is better to seal forever, humans are weak and stupid but we can learn step by step!" they even do it with "sealed techniques" or "forbidden technology" so I guess I was expecting something more unique... I think Madoka did it right and they both self sacrificed.

To be brutally honest I would've been really upset if Shingetsu lives a normal happy life after the "sin" of literally negating the existence of so many people and the events that they went through and you'll see her with a smile reading a book in her room like "aah so peaceful"... Does that feels fair?

The granbelm thing about removing magic wasn't because people were using magic for evil, it was because magic was manipulating them into being evil

If that were the case then people from the old times wouldn't have been able to seal it away, it was just the depravity of some people that forced another group to seal it for everyone.... Ah but there were many things that didn't make sense like they said that humans created magic and it wasn't good but then the "referee" says that magic has been around beyond the thousands of year, and the fact that if she removes magic I thought it would just be gone but then they say that it would be like it never existed in the first place and yet for convenience the families of mages are still around and happy going to school and looks like history itself didn't change... Like, they didn't want to deal with the aftermath of such a titanic change to the world/space/time.

On the final note ... When Shingetsu was questioning her own existence at the start of ep13 and why Magia was favoring her even though it was obvious that she had the least favorable desire for magic itself I really thought we would get a final revelation that would blow our minds ... But at the end it was more like "lol I thought she wouldn't do it!" and so magic is dead forever and ever THE END... I guess, is my fault for expecting too much when I could've just watched madoka again.

PS: All this can be easily forgotten because Machikaou did a great job, it was romantic, funny and beautiful... Is an anime about mahou shoujo and evil and we didn't even get a single fight! and it was still great! so that makes me happy... Dunno if we can get a s2 but if New game did it, then why not this one u.u

Here a better shot at Momo's dress. I really think it's one of Mikan's. Color wise it match more the color's theme of Mikan than the color's theme of Momo

Edit : Also found this excellent thread on Redditabout how you shouldwatch Machikado Mazoku : https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/d7c13n/wt_ganbare_shamiko_why_you_should_be_watching/

I never realized that Shamiko's memory of how Momo saved her in episode 1 was so distorted. That's a really fun detail and makes our peach colored magical girl seem even more gallant to her (as if the Opening didn't already portray her as some sort of savior).

I can't believe we end up on a teasing confession. Even if everyone know exactly what they were going to said to each other, it will have been nice ifthey had actuallt said it.

I'm really happy with the outcome, I loved this series for years and it didn't disappoint, I'm gonna cry in a corner for weeks but I'm so happy they went for the reciprocated feelings route (even if not explicit).

As much as I'd have liked something explicit, that was really cute and actually fairly artful

then again

"I want to be more than best friends who hang out most of the time."
"Like... best friends forever who hang out all of the time?"
"Exactly like that."

I'm late but YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH SYMPHOGAY IS CANON(sorta) YYYYYYYYYYYREEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
I feel like this should've had 1-2 more episodes tbh. Dunno if it's the TRUE finale, but if it is...well it felt rushed.
Any confirmation of OVAs like usual? That would be really nice since those are always 50% gayer.

Carol had a freaking YuGiOh! Good bye! That's both awesome and sad it was nice too see all the cameos too.

Aikatsu friends is also over now...I...will give my thoughts when I watch the 20+ eps I haven't watched...hah...
I doubt anything crazy happend since this is getting a direct sequel/spin off soon. And well, I haven't seen anyone going crazy about the gae.

I'm pretty certain this was the series finale. Big thematic endboss, closure achieved, and all of the symphogears got wrecked. And XV as a whole felt rushed

Like, it's enough of a money-maker that there may end up being another series regardless, but I'd expect new staff and cast if that happens

^ I was thinking of a big time-skip as a possibility. But yeah, a completely different cast is the way to go. There is literally nothing left to do...unless they make a romantic comedy sequel!-LOL keep dreaming me.

Is it legal to have this much unprotected incest handholding in a single minute? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSKlICmmi98

And well, I haven't seen anyone going crazy about the gae.

Wish that had happened somewhere. But it probably takes a meteor to make Momo fall.

French translation doesn't care about your subtext. They literraly translate this part by "never again would I let go of my beloved's hand "

So the French translation is wrong on purpose? Has headcanon gone too far?

We are just romantic

We are just romantic

And trash subs are just creative with their grammar.
You really oughta be more concerned by what else they are altering for their own preferences.

At least we got the sub for the songs unlike the CR subs. This part is the only part that got a bit of a fun translation. In general French subtitiles are quite goods.

Alright we're starting with the new season!!

Houkago Saikoro It was fun! I was drawn by the protagonist who at first I thought it would be Aya! the happy girl instead... I really like this blue girl and her Kyoto accent but I can't say the same about her habit of crying so easily- That aside...... HANDHOLDING IN THE FIRST CHAPTER that's too much!! lo/ as for Aya, I'm just surprised they didn't exploit the fact that she was going commando the whole episode and then we have the tsundere serious girl and the shop manager, all kind characters in their own way... Hmm! I will like this X) but I can't imagine it selling 5k BDs xP

Azurlane If you're a fan of Kancolle you'll probably like this, if you're a fan of the game you will like this and forgive the bad flying unicorn but if you don't know anything about it I can't blame you for being confused as fuck hahaha but the action was really cool and the amount of waifus will please everyone... and surprise, they decided to remove the Shikikan (commander self insert) presence from the anime it seems o.O good choice!

I'm gonna watch Null and Peta now and come back with the updated post.

Also the 2 new isekais that showed up this week seem to be trashy.......ikr? who would've thought!
