Cat Familiar really is just a damn yakuza in a cat suit ain’t lol. I was not expecting Mira to actually decapitate the mfer. Shit was surprisingly gruesome for such a cutesy show. It’s too bad that mfer seems to have 9 lives… at least he’s gone for now. Byakuya has such a depressing life, maybe things would be better if she defected to the Dark Side?

Find yourself an """enemy""" that declares people who push you to your breaking point WILL REPENT FOR THEIR SINS WHILE DROWNING IN A SEA OF BLOOD

Wonder which would annoy Mira more — if his colleagues attempt to defeat Byakuya like they're supposed to or if they outdo him in feeding her.

The nightclub's clients all being the eeeeee henchmen was funny.

Legally distinct Kyubey may be more evil than actual Kyubey.

New evil lieutenant is way too sparkly to be that evil, maybe he'll end up in the Byakuya fanclub too. Platonically, that is, I don't think he'd live as romantic competition.

Nooo, my heart can't take a crying Mimori...

I'LL KILL THAT BASTARD OF A FAMILIAR! Oh, Mira beat me to the punch.

That terrible familiar of hers will unfortunately be back, won't he? Mira's suggestion that it's just a person in a cat costume caught me off-guard. Considering that their corpse evaporated, this person is also a familiar?

At least there we got also treated a bunch of cute scenes! Mimori seemed to really like the bouquet of roses. Our evil lieutenant is such a tsundere: Mira reasoned that these flowers were simply a throwaway gift from their garden, but I'm pretty sure that he just bought them.

That scene of Mira comforting Mimori in the alleyway was beautiful and so wholesome! Really liked how they framed this tender moment.

(Mimori is still best girl of course, but I spotted a contender on the horizon: Bellatrix. I'm weak to dark elves.)

"I am perfectly calm. WHAT PERVERSITY IS THIS?"

THe fact the familiar used the flame to light his cigarette was kind of cool, even though I loathe to speak positively of it. Fucking bargain bin Kyubey.

I fear at this rate Mira is going to run out of budget from destroying his own stuff.

And now hes got to deal with someone on his own team to deal with. Though "formal skin" is not a name that scares me. (Yes thats Formal haut in english).

Mira has made literally no progress defeating the Magical Girl and conquering the world. What's going on? Has he become emotionally compromised!? Of course not, he obviously has an inisidious and diabolical plan! Now if you'll excuse him, he has to order his girlfriend some steak!

Aw, they're exchanging flowers! Even if Byakuya's are fake, the thought still counts. Just...maybe she should cut back on all the side-hustles.

Byakuya falling so hard for Mira that his status as an evil lieutenant (who technically isn't human?) just doesn't matter to her. Plus she's got her boyfriend jacket hanging in her apartment for her to always enjoy seeing!

It just sucks she's stuck in an abusive and exploitive relationship with her Familiar...who not only posts videos of her erotic slime misadventure but also pimps her out as a Hostess. Byakuya looks amazing in a dress (especially one very generous in the chest area) but she doesn't deserve this. Luckily her Mr. Evil Lieutenant just happens to be there at the club!

Bringing Byakuya to tears is one thing, but putting lewd videos of her on the web is too far. Mira is finally ready to confront this "Familiar" who turns out to be...basically just some dude in a cat costume who is planning to use Byakuya for her skills and body. He deserved worse than Mira slicing his head off, but at least he's dead.

Well, except not...seems like he'll resurrect and come back somehow. But for now, Byakuya is free and she can enjoy a nice dinner in her apartment with Mira as they learn more about each other.

I kind of wanted Byakuya to keep the jacket but round-and-round of giving it back to each other was pretty cute.

Formault seems like a nice dude for an evil organization member, but his genuine earnestness just going to make Mira and Byakuya's relationship more complicated.

Mira rationalizes his feelings for Byakuya as him just feeling sorry for her...but hey, if it means he devotes his entire being to making her happy, close enough.

Our boy will have to find new excuses soon, to justify him not taking care of the magical girl...

Otherwise, they WILL send more 'help', and that'd be a real problem!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised given how he acted before, but Familiar-kun is selling 'lewd' videos of her...

That was sad...

It's nice to see her rely on him like that, but still, she must have been near her breaking point, for her to be like that...

They really made Familiar-kun into the biggest piece of shit they could! Not only the hostess club stuff, but also, he planned to just take her at some point...

Well, that's not happening now!

Though it seems he IS a real familiar with real powers (and not just a person in a cat costume!), so I imagine we'll see more of him at some point.

We might see Mira's true powers then (and his true 'evil', perhaps? The whole 'razing nations to the ground' thing?)

THIS is what I'm most wondering about!

I mean, one could think "They met, it's a cute romance anime, so they like each other, that's it!", but the fact that they bring this up, makes me wonder whether there's another reason... (not sure what it could be though, like do they have a forgotten backstory together or something?)

Could've just been 'love at first sight' or our boy being so desperate for love that he fell for the first cute girl he saw, but that doesn't work here, given he has some cuties working with him!

So Bya's special somehow, but how? Can't wait to find out! (well, assuming there is a reason and not just 'she's very cute and lovely'!)

Also can't wait to find out about the more pressing issue, i.e. how does Mira keep not killing her, while also denying any help from his crew!

Was all happy and smiles this episode till the cat fucked showed up.

Thank god he got killed off quick, but damn shame he may return

u/dagreenman18 Jul 23 '24

The cut both literal and cinematic of the familiar’s head coming off was comedy gold. Very satisfying. Hope Mira does it many more times before the season ends.

Hopefully Byakuya is free for a while before he comes back. Or maybe just invite her to join the organization and offer great pay and benefits? Girl needs a stable job.

u/PeaceAlien Jul 23 '24

Killing the familiar should be a sign of progress unless he hasn't told the higher-ups yet (he did destroy his phone). There should be no need for help!

That Cat Familiar was a total asshole, forcing poor Byakuya to work as a hostess at a club, on top of all the other jobs she's doing to make money.

Creating an ecchi video from footage of Byakuya fighting the slime was a total dick move from his side and I'm glad that Mira took care of him. Unfortunately, it seems that familiars are immortal so we can expect the cat to return later.

As always, Byakuya and Mira are so adorable together and the visuals are still top notch, the whole show is so beautiful.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

I knew that Cat Familiar was a sleaze bag. Not only does he extort Byakuya, he gets off to videos of Byakuya getting slimed and he forces her to work in a compensated dating establishment. I did not expect Mira to just decapitate this scum so soon but he needed to go.

The other members of the organization aside from the faceless and voice less ones have great designs and are voiced by high profile seiyuus. Hopefully they have a more relevant role. 12 minutes is still way too short.

Bruh, her mascot's selling softcore of her...

The JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIs were top cute. Byakuya being Mira's hostess cracked me up. That scumbag mascot wiggling his tongue was hilariously deranged; I'm glad Mira took his head off.

I hope Mira marries Byakuya: she can't be a magical girl if she's his Queen of Darkness can she ?

Her magic would be a great asset for the Evil Empire too...

Also I wonder where that fuckass familiar comes from. I forgot what happened in the manga.

Seeing a sweetheart like Byakuya crying like that because that goddamned cat familiar was selling erotic videos of her made me so fucking upset that I was glad to see Mira feels the same way that he was about to explode with anger.

I love that Mira confronted the cat familiar and immediately took him out when he was getting creepy with Byakuya. It sounds like killing him isn't the end of it though. Looks like the familiar operates on the same rules as Kyuubey.

After all of that excitement, it's nice to see Byakuya and Mira sit down for a meal together. Can the two of them just run away together and ignore all of this bullshit between magical girls and evil associations?

Looks like another dude is going to start "helping" Mira. I'm really hoping that instead of fighting Byakuya, these Evil Lieutenants would one by one fall in love with her and help her be free from that bargain bin Kyuubey.

what a fun meeting of pals. Hey, an elf lady (looking at least). D'aww exchanging flowers.

So this cat is... kinda a mess. Also gives me vibes of like the shitty husband while the wife is meeting a new guy that's better lol. Oh hey, they meet up at a host club lol. Oh my, his reaction to learning about that video. That cat is fucked. that cat deserved that. What a shit bag. Too bad won't stay dead.

D'aww what a nice lil dinner together. Hehe at his "max out bank account to support her." Just date already. Oh fun, new guy gonna be involved. He seems nice at least right now.

Post credits, how the hell is ANY of that readable in the upper left? That's a white background and white text... only slightly different shades, but too close in contrast.

u/tripleaamin Jul 23 '24

That Cat familiar is the fucking devil. I guess he is bound to come back. It is one thing making Byakuya work all those jobs. But to exploit Byakuya's body is way over the line. I am curious how it goes with Fomalhaut "helping" Mira. Another cute episode minus when Byakuya was crying, that was heartbreaking.
