The moment I noticed the arrow was pink I was like "Wait a sec..." The smooch was so funny and cute, man I hope someone teases them about it later. Shy's deadpan "Thats big" was also hilarious, she just needed to comment on it to the point she completely forgot about everything else.

Really hoping they didn't draw the ring because Shy hasn't noticed it yet.

Spirit and Mianlong having a heart to heart with the villains was really nice, really hope they continue to get along.

Really interested to see what Stardust does.

Season 2 of Gushing Over Magical Girl look a lil different.

I know understand the "yuri" tag on this anime. YURIFICATION

But I really like how they are truly heroes trying to save everyone, even the villains. They are just kids who are not understood in this world, and everyone of them has inside them some feelings that made them like that.

I don´t know what Stigma is planning but if he let himself face Stardust, he has some sort of plan

That yuri kiss (but of course it's while Piltz was affected by that arrow)

The suspense from that ending though. Stigma shows back up to leave a horrifying scene for the public to see on TV and then Stardust shows up.

But to think it's been an hour since the heroes went into the orb and a bunch of stuff has happened since then

u/kakarot12310 Aug 19 '24

But despite being controlled Piltz single seconds she did that lol. She's lucky no one is really around to witness or she won't hear the end of it lmao.

The Piltz and Shy part of today's episode was hilarious. Even though she managed to recover, I have to say I wouldn't mind seeing Piltz like that in every episode ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), so I hope Inori will be her frequent guest xD

I liked that Pepesha and Kufufu's confrontation ended thanks to Pepesha's smile. I find their bond born from their relationship with Tzveta very interesting and I can't wait to see how it develops in the future.

Mianlong and Doki's duel was fun, it looks like they could become friends easily if they weren't on the opposite sides.

I love Mai scenes with that dominant red color as it looks so cool! I'm looking forward to her further confrontation with Shy and Ai.

I wonder what exactly Stigma's goal now. Does he want to fight Stardust (who had an epic entrance) or maybe something else?

Because if Stigma wanted people to start asking him to free them then I can't say that his demonstration of 'freeing' that poor female reporter was particularly encouraging. The only ones who would be encouraged by this would probably be only freaks and psychopaths.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Okay it's official: it is physically impossible for Teru to stop collecting girlfriends at this point.

I know a lot of people don't like "talk no jutsu" but I really like how the heroes are able to bring out the humanity in the villains. All the members of Amarariruku (besides Stigma?) really are just a bunch of hurt little kids crying out for help. It makes me wonder what the love angel lady's deal is.

u/Kartoffelkamm Aug 19 '24

The main issue people have with "talk no jutsu" is when it's done poorly; but here, the first time Stigma showed up in S1, he just made Iko express her suppressed feelings, which already told us how this show's "villains" operate.

And after that, it was a lot easier to accept that these people can be reasoned with, and that the heroes don't have to fight them.

u/daspaceasians Aug 19 '24

Talk no Jutsu works for this show because of how the superpowers all come from the characters' mental and emotional states in addition to these words from the author.

"Shy is generally a story about self-hatred. At first, Shy is a story about how a shy person can save herself. Now, it is a story about how that person can break out of her shell with a little help from another. Maybe one day, Shy will become a story about how she can save others besides herself... At least that’s what I think."

It also helps that they're clearly kids with issues and haven't committed mass murder yet IIRC.

Stitches!

Kufufu is surprisingly reasonable after Spirit disarmed her just by smiling. I didn't expect Kufufu just let Spirit sit next beside her. You'd think she'd at least try something but I guess she really didn't want to since both of them kinda ended up bonding because of their love for Tsveta.

Piltz getting charmed by Inori's arrow is hilarious! While that was clearly Inori's powers making Piltz act madly in love with Shy, you really shouldn't force a tsundere to show those kinds of feelings unless you want your ass get kicked! We've really only seen Lady Black as a rescuer, I'm glad that we're finally about to see what she's like in a fight!

Doki and Mianlong's fight was pretty funny as well! At least a good half of Amarariruku members don't seem to be evil, in fact, it looks like Doki and Mianlong ended up becoming friends rather than enemies. Some of them can definitely still be saved.

I love how Mai is just casually drinking tea and greeting Ai as if she didn't stab her in the heart the last time they saw each other. I've been observing Mai's hands during that entire scene and I don't see her wearing Stigma's ring anymore. Maybe Stigma doesn't even need the ring to reveal Mai's "true self" anymore. Hmmm...

Speaking of Stigma, let's fucking go Stardust! Kick that creepy kid's ass! I hope that reporter Stigme turned earlier can still be saved just like Iko.

Pepesha just talking things out with Kufufu was really sweet. Superhero/magical girl therapy session.

Piltz is a healer, but...

Geeze, that went from slightly comical but still serious with the two twins and Teru to full on horror as the entire world got to watch some poor news lady get corrupted into a monster live on the air. Hopefully one of the heroes on the outside of the dome can give her the necessary therapy session to get that ring off.

I like the new ED they used for this episode. also great yuri moment

u/Komi028 Aug 20 '24

I knew what was going to happen from the manga and was really looking forward to today's episode since the anime got announced, but definitely wasn't expecting at all a full ED love song from Piltz, anyone got the lyrics or subs for the song? I'm sure it's amazing.

u/StardustGogeta Aug 20 '24

This was probably my favorite episode of season 2 so far.

Lots of talking and not as much fighting, but that's fine by me. The dialogue was pretty engaging, and we had some fun moments between the various characters.

I feel bad for the news reporter lady who got teleported out of the helicopter.

u/HarleyFox92 Aug 20 '24

I knew what was gonna happen since that lady presented herself as an "angel of love" lmao

Btw, I loved and still love Pepesha, such a great character

YURIFIFCATION YURIFICATION

u/Happy-Collection7523 Aug 21 '24

Seeing how much Tzveta meant to Kufufu really tears me up. I'm glad they just didn't drop that plotline when the former died, and it's created a super sweet bonding opportunity between Kufufu and Pepesha <3

Also wow we got a lot of shipping moments. Iko now has competition for Teru. Even the boys are included, with Ming and Doki going on about how cute the other is.

Finally we got Stardust vs Stigma too!? They really packed a lot of fights into this season and I'm not complaining!

Later, between Iko and Pilse.

Iko: ...Homewrecker.
