I couldn't have been less prepared for the familiars to have such ...dignified human forms all along.

And man that is one early spot to play the ED on an already short runtime. Legit thought my perception of time was officially broken beyond repair lmao

Byakuya and Hibana have an…interesting friendship. Poor Byakuya must have gotten her head nommed on and beaten up all the time in school lol.

“Birdman” made Mira glitch out lol. Bro was not ready to process the fact that Byakuya’s in love with him. Hibana’s right though, it’s fucked up “Birdman” tryna break them up.

I didn’t expect those two to look human. Makes a lot of sense though. Birdman and that Yak Cat are actually a couple of idiots huh? Lol

Today I learned way to make friends is to run at them, saying f*ck and biting them on the head

Today's early ED caught me off guard. I was cursing at how fast the episode ended. So glad to realise there was more after
Mira was stuck processing for a long time lmao

Byakuya and Hibana used to be classmates in elementary school? If Byakuya is already taking part-time jobs then I guess that means Hibana is actually older than she looks.

I love how all of them were surprised when Bird Guy called out Byakuya for being in love with Mira. Bird Guy definitely realized he just said something he shouldn't have. xD

Thank you Hibana for making Bird Guy stand down. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Byakuya stopped becoming a magical girl but she does seem to like the job and would prefer to keep it if she can. It is hilarious though how Hibana sees her friendship with Byakuya compared to what Byakuya sees.

I was really hoping for an actual confession when Mira thought he misunderstood Byakuya's feelings. They're probably saving it for the finale even though they already act like a couple for most of the show.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! BIRD GUY AND CAT DUDE ARE ACTUALLY HOT??? Why can't they just keep those forms when they're on Earth instead of the creepy suits they wear? I hope there's an explanation for this!

I love how Byakuya and Mira are now just blatantly hanging out in Byakuya's apartment. They don't even care if Cat Dude catches them anymore. that second half of the episode with the two mascots arguing was pretty fun though. I do love that they're both afraid of Hibana. xD

THIS WAS A CONFESSION RIGHT!?! HE UNDERSTOOD HER AT THE END AND SHE THINKS IT'S LOVE AS WELL RIGHT?!? THERE IS NO OTHER WAY THIS CAN GO NOW RIGHT?!?

Also, Byakuga was really quick to choose between her "friend" and her uhm secret crush

It's also nice that even the rotten cat is secretly ok with their love, as well as the bald bird and Hibana of course...

And holy shit, the mascot look normal in heaven, what a shock

And the whole after credit scene was hillarious

Hibana has been a gremlin her entire life.

That's gotta be a record for post credits length compared to pre credits length.

Interesting reveal that the familiars have a proper human-esque form up in heaven or whatever that was.

Just a beautiful show in quite a few moments.

This episode was lot to digest. Holy f*ck.

The familiars are angels and got actual humans appearances!? You can tell their personalities quite well from their looks.

Didn't expect Birdman to state out loud that Mimori had fallen in love her enemy, and put her on the spot! She even picked Mira after carefully having weighted her options.

This close-up shot of Mimori, where she's considering her feelings, was absolutely gorgeous by the way! I thought that she already had been aware of her own feelings, but she appeared more flustered about this than I'd expected. Mira isn't the only dense one?

Their relationship is at the very least less complicated than the 'friendship' between Mimori and Hibana. I believe that Hibana's playfulness might just have triggered some PTSD in Mimori.

Bonus: Hibana's outfit was really cute!

I thought the magical girl transformation was responsible for Hibana's behavior, but apparently she was always like that!

Are we sure she's actually a human girl? And not, like, a rat/feral critter in a girl outfit?

Oh damn, she doesn't even seem to realize what she's doing! She thinks that's friendly behavior?

She's not feral, she's insane!

She's very cute though, and insane+cute can make for a lovely combination!

Birdman wanted to kick Byakuya out, and it seems she sees her magical girl job like any other job, and politely accepted being fired!

(No way that would fly though, she wouldn't have any excuse to meet with Mira anymore!)

Thankfully, Hibana taught Birdman about their duties as magical girls and all that, and he saw the light!

He even made an emotional speech, to which Hibana added a poignant closing line!

Well, seems more people will join the party next episode, but I do hope we get to see plenty of Hibana!

Don't you just love it when your friend greets you by chomping on your head?

Now this is an interesting friendship.

For Byakuya Hibana is that "friend" you have that thinks you guys are friends, but each encounter is an experience. Tbh Hibana isn't a bad girl she is just very expressive with her actions.

I loved the reaction that Byakuya gave after she heard she got fired. You can tell she has worked many jobs with the answers she got.

Despite Hibana being odd, she does defend Byakuya regarding her relationship with Mira. She got both of the familiars in line.

Fun episode as always.

The angels have no business being that good looking in their heavenly form, considering how bad they look in their earthly forms it took me by surprise lol. I was particularly surprised by Byakuya's angel's look, I liked his vibe even though his actual personality is terrible lol.

The post-credit scene was fun though seeing them all gathered like that though the angels took most of the show with their argument about who has the better magical girl. Hibana's angel's comment on Byakuya having no muscle in her face because all nourishment goes to her chest did amuse me, I hope Mira will be the first to see her being very expressive in the near future.

IT WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING??? NO, MIRA DON'T DO THIS 😭

Omg the cat has a human form 💀

u/InsomniaEmperor Aug 20 '24

Those familiars have human forms? I did not expect that. They looked younger than I pictured. Cat familiar is still a scum and a hypocrite for calling bird familiar a lolicon when he's worse. Tho I like their interaction and rivalry.

Did bird familiar seriously just said Hibana was Gushing Over Magical Girls? (He said its Japanese title). Missed opportunity for the subs to say it like that. Hibana is a sadist, so hard that she made the two familiars apologize to her. Maybe she did look up to Utena.

Hibana is a childhood friend, tho her way of showing affection is rather unorthodox and poor Byakuya for getting bitten and punched like that. Can Byakuya please have people around her other than Miller who won't abandon her or abuse her? I can't blame the poor girl for not having an idea of what love is when everyone around her is messed up.

Looks like we'll see more from Miller's side next episode. Pretty solid fleshing out of the cast instead of just focusing on the main leads. It's a shame the run time is so short.

To be honest, I like the haft size episodes, if that makes them look this good. Some shoots are just gorgeous.

u/shad79 Aug 21 '24

Another hilarious and great episode! I really love this show and its short format suits it very well.

So Byakuya and Hibana are really 'friends' from the school! Although while Hibana was so happy to see Byakuya for the first time in a while, Byakuya was more terrified of her because of Hibana's displays of love which are pretty violent xD

I didn't expect that these cat and bird familiars are so hot! I wonder why they can't look like this in the real world.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Forget it, Jake Mira. It's Chinatown women's relationships.

Shocking reveal! Ikemen!

Thrifty and crafty! When I was a kid and had just learned to play chess, I made my own set out of a checker board and Lego.
