There's two more seasons of Symphogear coming at some point, so maybe you'll get your fix there eventually.

My wife and I started up Magical Girl Raising Project last night. I'm beginning to think that even cursory knowledge of Madoka Magica (as I've not actually watched it beyond random gif sets) has spoiled me on this genre. Early into the first episode I was sure something fishy was up, and by the end of the twenty minutes I was positive that this show would end in a pastel laced blood bath. Episode two did not disappoint. The show is only five episodes deep on Cruchyroll so far, but we watched them all and are really interested in learning to what end this whole project is for.

The first shot is a pile of bloody dead girls in silly outfits. It wasn't trying to hide what kind if show it is. Which I like, the willingness it demonstrates in sharing its secrets is refreshing.

I thought about watching but knowing about La Pucelle it's probably a show I should stay away from for my own emotional well-being.

Yeah, but the thing my wife read to me about it made it sound like the intro bit might have been part of the video game...and then it cuts to the main character playing a much more sanitized version of said video game on her smartphone. I just figured that the intro bit was kind of a "this is how it would look if it were really happening, but it's not..." similar to how when all the girls are in the chat room, the show cuts between them actually being there and them sitting back and looking at cutesy versions of their avatars with text bubbles.

My response to both of you is, "oh, that's understandable."

I've read some manga lately so I might as well post here.

All You Need Is Kill

Aliens called "Mimics" have invaded Earth and are kicking our asses. Keiji Kirya of the United Defence Force is killed in his first combat and wakes the day before as if nothing happened. After that he begins plotting his survival, abusing his infinite time to gather equipment, train and plan.

Even if you watched the Edge of Tomorrow adaptation, they're different enough that I'd reccomend giving this a try.

Sumire 16-Sai

A highschool girl who is decided to motivate and uplift her fellow classmates spirits, always lending a helping hand no matter what the subject is.

She is also a puppet being controlled by an old man.

I know. It's weird. But it's also very good, funny and a lot of times it's genuinely heartwarming. If you can get past the bizarre setting, it's a very fun, lighthearted story.

I recently got the Re-Zero: Starting Life in Another World manga vol 1 and 2 and light novel vol 1. I'll let you guys know how they are too.

@phil: Ah, k.

Man does soul eater suddenly hit a slump 2/3 of the way through. Forced large conflicts are boring and don't make sense with the rest of the story. Arachne's a boring character. She doesn't have any affect or personality; Medusa is way better (and seems to be returning to the plot.)

Like this series started off really strong and toally plummeted. I hope it recovers itself.
