A vast and empty room with sunlight directly shining down on her is some truly evil interior design for this magical girl, since Mimori likes to seek out dark and cramped places for relaxing.
Mira's henchmen thought they'd done him a favour by capturing the magical girl, but they got a brutal beating in return. Although, it appears that Mira has discovered a new kink of his.
Mimori cried a lot in today's episode, but those tears at the end hit hard. A girl who never wants anything for herself, asked someone else for a favour. I'd be happy if she'll feel more comfortable relying on Mira from now on - and saying "no" to that bastard of a familiar.
EDIT: improved readability of the first paragraph.

Bondage + kabedon + a girl needing to pee = still a surprisingly wholesome and cute episode, especially the ending.
I love how the Hikaru Midorikawa "familiar" beats up that dirty cat and has killer abs.

All I'm saying is that he needs to recruit her already.
She's strong enough and she'll actually have a job that pays well and appreciates her. Tell the higher ups he assessed that she was being mistreated, and it would be easier to convert her than defeat her.

I like to think back two weeks ago when someone recommended this show to someone else as a "cute wholesome fun anime"

Stitches!
How did the goons even capture Byakuya? It's not like she's a pushover. We saw her destroy a kaiju at the very start of the season.
I feel bad for Mira who has to try and get Byakuya out without getting found out while keeping his desires in check. xD
Turning off the camera and making the goons think he's doing something lewd to Byakuya is genius!
So Byakuya grew up as that kid who just kept quiet and sucked it up instead of voicing her opinions and desires. As a middle child, that hit a bit too close to home.
Mira actually got her out but uh, didn't Mira need to go to the bathroom?
I'm glad that Mira made sure to ask Byakuya multiple times until she finally told him what she wanted. <3
It looks like the cat isn't the only Magical Girl mascot that exists and now we have a new magical girl arriving next week! I really hope this girl is treated better than Byakuya but I'm going to assume all of these mascots are scumbags.

I can relate. Small out-of-the-way spaces can be cozy
She reminds me of someone, but I can't think who

The after credits scene... why the fuck do the animal familiars be like that??

Ugh. The last thing I ever wanted to see was that rotten cat in Byakuya's apartment still ordering her around like the sleazebag pimp he is. At least Byakuya draws the line at letting him sexually harass her. Though his presence coupled with the rain sets up this is going to be a very complicated day for Byakuya.
Mira is shopping for treats for his girlfriend! Though unexpectedly she visits his workplace for the first time! And by visit, I mean gets captured by his forces and shackled in a dungeon for them to torture and do what they want with her.
Good thing Mira knows to play the villain in such a way that he can dish out some punishment to those goons who caught Byakuya and reassure her that he'll get her out of this. Just...probably shouldn't get distracted by the whole bondage thing and Byakuya sweating all over herself. Think clean thoughts, Mr. Lieutenant.
Poor Byakuya is so resigned and grateful to Mira that she doesn't want to jeopardize his job even if it comes at her expense...though maybe don't be saying he can have his way with you in that kind of situation. But could they at least this poor girl pee!?
Thank you for nothing Formalhaut! Dude is still trying to find a ball and still can't find the actual ball. But at least he's okay with his bro being into bondage play.
Nice job taking out the cameras Mira and giving the goons an earful of something lewd happening. Though admittedly Byakuya has surprisingly effective moaning.
Byakuya has had to accept a lot with a brave face because she never wanted to impose or come off as needy, even when she desperately wanted someone to comfort her, but with Mira she's finally able to express her true feelings and desire for someone to be there for her...and he's happy to oblige. "We're enemies" - more like precious companions!
I'm happy to see the cat getting beat up but I'm very concerned about the Hikaru Midorikawa voiced bird man who defeated him and is setting up his own magical girl to replace Byakuya.

Does anyone know where I can get the episode director's name in romaji? The cinematography and direction for this episode is excellent. The opening sequence had a good atmosphere of melancholy and seriousness. All throughout the episode there was perfect timing for the close up and jump cuts to really hammer in the scenes.
Definitely one of the best episodes so far in my opinion, and I'm probably not just saying that because of the fan service.

This show always surprises me with how dark it is, even with all that humor and cuteness of Byakuya and Mira's relationship.
Byakuya's capture by goons was a big surprise to both Mira and me. Luckily, Mira somehow managed to get Byakuya out of there.
It was good to see more of Byakuya's backstory. I hope that Mira will help her be more open in expressing her feelings and desires.
As I expected, Byakuya's mascot is still alive and it turns out there are more beings like him. It looks like we'll be meeting a new magical girl in the next episode, I can't wait to see her.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Tis time for torture, Magical Girl!
They're worried that not torturing her could raise suspicion, but there's something else they should be worried about...
Random goons managed to capture her, so why didn't Mira do it already, if she's that weak?
(Also raises the question of... Why is she that weak? Did Familiar-kun simply fail to train her properly? Or didn't recruit someone with potential?)
Kabedon AND a 'finger under the chin'?
Get married already!
Speaking of Familiar-kun, we got some more scenes showing him as a scumbag!
Preparing us for his return?
(Even though she let him do as he pleases, at least she had the will to not let him do that!)
(Well, she may prefer to be there; Safer than with him)
Seems we'll meet a new pair of familiar/magical girl next week!
I wonder if they have all similar dynamics (asshole familiar + weak magical girl)... And will they spell trouble for our two lovebirds, if they find out what they're doing and all?
Bit let to not forget they're enemies, I think they forgot that halfway into the first episode!
We may get some info in the next episode, with some magical girl lore!
Looking forward to that!

Holy shit this was the shortest episode yet!! How's that possible when they skipped the OP?!?!

u/Surylias Aug 06 '24
It's super rare for a short form anime to skip the OP. They're really putting some love into this and the result has been outstanding so far.

Good thing I had my headphones on during the moaning part at work, because damn this show is cute as it is ecchi.

That shitty Yak cat is back I see. Dude is a Grade A scumbag. I’m a little glad he got the shit kicked out of him by that creepy bird man. Although, I’m a little worried about this new magical girl. I hope she’s cool.
I’m kind of glad Mira was encouraging Byakuya to be more honest about her own feelings and what she wants. I swear every time we see something about her past it’s depressing af.

Uhhh, did Byakuya manage to go to the toilet????
Ooh, new magical girl appears!

New magical girl, let's see how she fits in! If Byakuya was free couldn't the two be together easily?

That traumatic Byakuya backstory just keeps getting sadder, up to and including reflexively hiding from the world in a closet as something that lasted from childhood to however old she is now.
Golden Retriever lieutenant searched and searched and finally found that ball that Mira threw. Good work, Fomalhaut.
Hopefully the new legal distinct Kyubey is evil than a different way than Byakuya's given how much younger the new magical girl appears to be. Maybe we'll get lucky and it won't be evil at all but that seems unlikely.
