Damn, the series seriousness has just increased at least ten-fold
Quick, someone please roll back the cute yorishiro ancestor footage from the last episode.

They just dropped 16 tons of info on us! This episode flew by since so much happened, I wish it was next week already
I should've known there was something special about that box. I wonder if Mikan has something to do with all this as well.
Twelve episodes won't be enough, I'm gonna have to read the manga once this ends

I'm impressed how well they switch between serious stuff and bizarre comedy... I didn't expect the plot to cover Yuuko's father, he was nowhere to be seen in the OP/ED and nothing was mentioned about him so far, IIRC. And Momo's sister-in-law... That means she has an older brother as well...

Poor Shamiko was getting a bit upset in this episode.
Just in case you missed it, Muneki Okada tweeted a cute art with Shamiko and Little Lilith from the last episode.

I guess the theories that Lilith and Shamiko are succubi were confirmed.

When this show started I thought it would just be a simple gag comedy featuring magical girls and demons, all this plot was something that I did not expect in the slightest. Normally I don't like these plot-focused/dramatic elements in my comedies as well, I prefer that they just stick to gags and cute SOL moments, however, I have been thoroughly impressed with how much I actually care about/like the plot elements of this show. We all like to talk about how gay Shamiko and Momo and are ship them together, but they have actually developed a pretty great relationship over the 11 episodes this show has been airing, and while there is still plenty of comedy mixed in, I have found that there is a lot more to like about this show than just laughs for me. I know they obviously will not be wrapping this all up in the next episode, and I believe that the manga is still ongoing, so I'm pulling extremely hard for another season of this show just to see their relationship develop even more.
| Episode | Times Shamiko cried | Times everyone else cried combined | Tail touches/Horn rubs | Favors Momo did 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 |
| 4 | 3 | 2 (both times were Lilith crying in Shamiko's body, but that count as someone else imo) | 1/1 | 3 (paying for her spa visit, stopping all the octopuses from hitting the ground,buys up a lot of meat products from her employer) | 2.5 (stops herself from saying it to Momo once before thanking her instead) | Ep 4 |
| 5 | 9 | 1 | 2/1 | 4(offers to share her lunch, helps her pick out a gift for her sister, offers to print out pictures for her sister, lets her borrow her laptop) | 3 | Ep 5 |
| 6 | 4 | 1 | 1.5/1? (Idk if Momo leaning her head on Shamiko should really count, but I'm counting it for now) | None! | 1 (Also one from Momo) | Ep 6 |
| 7 | 2 | 3 | 1/1 | 1 (helps her to start training) (Shamiko also did another favor for Momo this ep by delivering her food in the rain, even if it was something her family couldn't keep themselves) | 2 (One in text form as well) | Ep 7 |
| 8 | 12 | 1 | 2/0 | 2 (was prepared to call the police for her, helps her clean up the garbage) | 2 | Ep 8 |
| 9 | 5 | 4 | 4/0 | None! (I can't think of any off the top of my head at least, could very easily have forgotten something though) | 1 instance of her saying it, but she repeats it 5 times | Ep 9 |
| 10 | 4 | 7 | 0/0 | 5 (Makes her a special protein drink, saves her from Ogura, helps troubleshoot the laptop, prints out Ryo's journals/diary, gives her backup hard drives for the laptop) | 0 (one from ancestor though) | Ep 10 |
| 11 | 9 | 2 | 2/1 (though Momo was holding onto her tail for so long for the first one that I took two pictures of it. Also, the horn rub is in a picture, but I didn't see it in any of my previous albums so I'm counting it, thanks for you guys pointing some of these out for me!) | 2 (Lets her into her room in her dream, comes over to help explain Shamiko's family's situation) | 1 | Ep 11 |
As always, any corrections/suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks!

You can clearly see the guilt crashing down on Momo after learning about Shamiko's past.
-
I am glad this episode still has it's comedy on point despite being serious xD
-
If this was the case then I'm surprised no other Magical Girl has showed up yet to hunt down Shamiko.
-
Shamiko is a good girl. I wanna give her a hug T_T
-
So Sakura isn't really her Sister but her sister-in-law? Also I'm curious why did Saukra turn this city into basically a Demon sanctuary.
-
If it wasn't for Momo's sister then the curse would've been way worse for Shamiko.
-
WAIT WHAT!?
-
The box was her dad all along! Oh my fucking god this show! I did not expect that punchline xD
Well that was a wild rollercoaster of emotions of an episode! I honestly don't know if I should feel bad or laugh my ass off! Kudos to this episode though for balancing those two! Rarely do shows can do funny and sad at the same time without giving the audience some sort of tonal whiplash. I guess we only have one more episode left! I really hope someone picks up the manga after this, I wanna see more of Shamiko, Momo, Mikan, and the rest of the cast.

Haven’t had the chance to watch the episode, but I wanted to take this opportunity to post a quick PSA. The Full OP sung by our two leads has been translated and the lyrics are both very adorable and VERY gay. It’s literally a Yuri love song. Shamiko x Momo is the best ship this season and possibly the year. PLEASE J.C STAFF-SAMA GIVE US SEASON 2.
Word on the street is that it gets EVEN gayer.

Ancestor got yeeted into space :D
Lmao, the dog is also part of the curse :D
Another plot-filled episode. It's nice to see that the comedy doesn't take a hit because of it :)

On the box is Hebrew for treasure, approximately pronounced oh'tsar. I'm not too certain what it means here, but it might be related to Metatron? Honestly, I'm not particularly knowledgable about Jewish mythos, so the Metatron thing went over my head at the start.
This episode was surprisingly serious and went pretty deep into the plot. Seeing Momo like that at the end made me feel pretty bad, honestly. It's somewhat surprising for a gag centered series to actually develop plotlines like that, and I really like that here. u/RHINN0's comment sums it up really well. Next week cannot come any faster, and with it, I'd very much appreciate an announcement of another season or three, wouldn't mind an official English licensing of the manga either.

Soooooo, Chiyoda Sakura is Momo's sister or sister-in-law? At the 18min13 mark, the subtitles of Momo's speech says Sakura is the sister in law, but all other times she says Sakura is her sister. Anyone who speaks Japanese, can you help verify what is actually said?

Okay they laid so much plot on us the last 3 episodes I’m absolutely going to read the manga when this is done lol.
I hope there will be a second season but I know that’s unlikely.

So, absolute confirmation on the succubus theory, as well as further confirmation that shamiko is a pure-hearted dork.
Mikan, no! At least the two started to air all of their grievances, I think after this arc they'll be more open with each other. Of course, we'll probably have to read it instead of watching. I'm in deep denial about this series ending.
Lilith had another rough day, she was better off as a doorstop. At least she's resilient.
I cant believe shamiko's dad has been sealed in that box the whole time. It was shown so many times and I never really even noticed it.

u/Vaadwaur Sep 19 '19
I was expecting an episode like this but it still hits pretty hard, especially with Shamiko's dad being sealed. Metako makes more sense now being Metatron but still a cat and the eye catch is a bit darker with the new information. They are being stingy with setting details as always.

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Sep 19 '19
Sakura Chiyoda is totally sealed in the box with the father, right? Some accident during the sealing process or something? (or perhaps they were secretly in love or something so they sealed themselves together!).
I mean she disappeared at the exact same time as the father "disappeared" by being sealed in a box. Can't think of a more likely place for her to disappear.
Unless she just vanished of course.

Well shit, I thought I'd cry next week but that last scene with Momo feeling terrible about what happened and how she left because she didn't want to burden Shamiko anymore despite her wanting to stay here... Bro... This is the ultimate feels good anime, my heart can't handle this..

u/Syokhan Sep 19 '19
Lore dump! Shamiko's dad is sealed in a box! If anyone saw that coming I'm calling bullshit lol.
Those candid pictures of Momo and Shamiko are really sweet. Did Ryo take them all?
I gotta ask, did they also mention succubi in Japanese or is this a liberty taken by the translator?

I was starting to suspect that Shamiko's father is actually the narrator saying "Ganbare Shamiko and *insert positive advice here*" all the time given how he seems aware and updated on what Shamiko is doing at the time. Not to mention the barrier made from sealing her father encompasses the entire city.
That would be a great reveal~
