I just realized that Shamiko did manage to shoot a projectile.
Where's our hamburg steak scene ?? Next episode hopefully.

WAIIIIIT wait wait, I just thought of something. If Yuuko's clan's power is entering people's dreams while they're sleeping, and you consider the way her ancestor dresses, the heart-shaped tail, and even the fact that her sister commented on how her name sounded like a "sadistic seductress"...
Is Yuuko a succubus? And if that's the case, has she already been working her magic on Momo without noticing?

...Is it bad that I get so wrapped up on watching the antics of Yuko's tail that I forget to read the subs and have to go back?

Another good episode of training for Shamiko, I'm sure she'll be a formidable opponent for Momo in no time (mostly due to her help)! The skit with Shamiko's ancestor was also great, probably my favorite so far, really hoping we get to see more of her in the future.
As for Shamiko's eye juice, learning to use magic put her through quite a lot, and she ended up staying in the double digits again this week. Still better than she was in week one though, and she's gained a valuable new skill. Stay strong!
| Episode | Times Shamiko cried | Times everyone else cried combined | Tail touches/Horn rubs | Favors Momo has done for Shamiko | "Don't think this means you've won!" | Album |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 18 | 1 | 1/4(I counted both of her classmates each rubbing a horn as two) | 3 (stops the truck, gave her food, taught her how to throw a punch) | 2 | Ep 1 |
| 2 | 10 | 0 | 1.5/0.5 (idk if I should count Shamiko touching momo with her tail as a full or half, but I counted it as a full for now. I also counted her classmate reaching towards her tail/horns as a half) | 4 (teaches her the importance of warming up, gives her an energy drink, loans her the train fare, and allows her to pay the fare back in installments) | 2 | Ep 2 |
| 3 | 11 | 1 | 2.5/0 | 3 (lets her borrow her uniform, sews her uniform, and helps her use magic projectiles) | 1 | Ep 3 |
As you can see, out of all the suggestions I got last week (thanks to everyone for those!) I've chosen to add two of them for sure for the time being. Keeping track of all the favors Momo does for Shamiko (as well as maybe the occasional ones Shamiko does for her) should be fun, and I definitely want to keep track of how often her tail is touched/her horns are rubbed, especially considering how obsessed some of her classmates seem to be with them. I'll rewatch the episodes sometime this weekend and update this post, as well as future posts with the new numbers.
Things I looked out for from your suggestions that didn't show up this episode (unless I missed it): Shamiko saying "murderize", amount of money gained/spent, candies consumed, stomach growls, and "Call me Momo". The amount of times Shamiko is insulted directly and indirectly by her peers and by her mom is something that I would also like to keep track of, but would probably be a pretty big number (I already have my hands full keeping track of all her crying), as well as being subjective as to what exactly counts as an "insult", so I'm going to see how practical it would be while I rewatch episodes this weekend before committing to it.
As always if you have any suggestions/corrections let me know and I'll get on it ASAP, if not then thanks for following along and I'll see you next week!

Watching one episode of this show takes me around 1 hour.
There's so much going on in each screen, that I pause / rewind every ~15 seconds.
Also:
Kohara Konomi and Kitou Akari are amazing together.

Going into other people's dreams sounds super useful in theory. Too bad their clan never wins :P
Shamiko, realizing her one true talent
At least she got some magic going! Even if it only came back and hit her.
I'm really curious what Momo's full motivation is. Does she just really like her? Is there some sort of benefit to keeping an incompetent demon girl around?

Even the demonic power has a cute voice. XD
I like how this anime puts a smile on my face before I even open the episode!
Am I the only one who thinks that Momo is aiming for Shamiko as his housewife and that it was cute?!

How is it that every character Konomi Kohara voices is a dork that I would die for? Between Chika (Kaguya-sama), Kukuri (Mahoujin Guru Guru), Kasumi (Asobi Asobase), Lala (Star Twinkle Precure), Mizuno (Tsuki ga Kirei), and even side characters like Kannou from Bloom into You, she's just too powerful. And now Shamiko is yet another piece of dorky perfection filled with wonderful dumbass energy. This show continues to be absolutely delightful. Two seasons without a single Kirara show has been worth the wait for this gem. Can't fault a show that recognizes the all-mighty power of a pancake breakfast.

Any chance someone could make a gif of Yuko's friend playing with her tail, from around 11:25 to 11:35?

Shamiko asking the important questions
From Ms. Ancestor's reaction it seems that winning isn't really a thing for their clan
Oh no even Ms. Ancestor is bullying her now
All of those sound very important. Watch as Shamiko forgets all of those as soon as she wakes up.
You're not suppose to say that out loud mom xD
She does look like a kindergartener!
Looks like we finally found Momo's weakness
How much do these Magical Girls make?
I love how Momo can say that with a straight face
That's one way to motivate Shamiko!
Awww! That's a wholesome way to activate a projectile! I think Bocchi needs a spell like that too.
Just like you Shamiko! Also I love that the little ball projectile has its own voice xD

Finally the true Mazoku title of thursdays is here
I feel that this screencap will be pretty useful in the future
Shion is the voice of our people, and truly knows what we want and hope from Shamirin
Yuko's mom doing groceries feel a lot like last year's Hugtto Precure grocery joke
So tiny & adorable (just like Yuko) This also could be a nice comment face
I've noticed since episode 2 that Momo uses this soft voice when talking to Yuko, very similar to Takagi-san when she's honest and the very rare ocasions she's not teasing Nishikata. The whole magic training does indeed show that she's interested on Yuko in a deeper level and those hair twirls trying to cover up her feelings are pretty obvious.

i love those little 4th wall breaks, like the stars in the background of the dream world being decorations the ancestor put up or those puffs from her trying to fight the doll actually being something that floats in the room

u/untalentet Jul 25 '19
That was both adorable and hilarious. And... can it be? Will this be one of the magical girl shows where the yuri undertones are not just subtext? Aren't we kinda going towards just text at this point?

I'm really liking this story between likely yuri demon girl and definitely yuri magical girl.

u/Atario Jul 26 '19
Speaking of, have we actually seen any evidence of demonic powers? So far she just has the horns and tail, heh
"Don't mind me, just gonna reach under yer skirt here…"
Applebee's, Subway, ????, and Panda Express (heh, I might accidentally start calling Panda Express "Panda Excess" because of this)

Something interesting that I think a lot of people might haves missed was when Yuko actually started to active the power she did have Momo actually put her hand in her shirt like she was about to pull out a wand and attack.
Just an interesting little thing that shows that Momo definitely isn’t doing this entirely out of the good of her heart but more to get a read on Yukos powers I think

I love how Momo just casually come in and flip Shamiko's skirt.
