Musaigen no Phantom World

I gotta say while the little girl's name is meaningful I find the name 'bear pillow' to be creepy.

This is in a world with three-headed beasts, killer machines, monsters who'll abduct you from the world, and Mai, and you find that creepy?

Next episode:

Teddy bears. Teddy bears everywhere.

Kind of reminds me of Kirishima.

On to the episode itself, goddamnit Kyo Ani, do something about Koito, please? I don't see anything remotely musical about her power set, much less HOW its acted out on screen.

What, you don't see the clear connection between Koito monotone and music?

I can sing better than that, and so can my pet spider.

Yeah, same here.

Then again, I am part of church choir, so it isn't exactly fair. XD

The story tries to have its cake and eat it with her. She has to be so incredible that it make sense for Team cockup to seek her out, but she also has to be in the sort of danger that they can handle for them to actually be able to rescue her. It was relatively cleverly done this episode but it remains awkward.

It's not that cleverly done if it's so obvious and still awkward. It would probably have been a lot better if they'd actually shown her to be as powerful as they claim.

If they want to show that she's actually competent, they need to stop pittting her against phantoms that have perfect counters to her abilities all the time.

That train at the beginning wasn't good enough. Suppose if there were multiple demonstrably powerful phantoms which she oneshotted all at once because they couldn't neutralise her powers...

Obviously she is the 7th Intoner, which means that Earth is doomed. Good ending get.

Episode 6. In which Kurumi can't bear the pressure.

Those babies don't look familiar at all.

"Useful". Appropriate sign. It's one of the most common desires people have. To feel useful.

If I had to choose, I'd probably pick her landing. I'm not entirely sure, though. His does have its charm.

He's smooth. Or cool. Not both.

I sense a slight pattern in her favourites.

This is one time where someone conveniently interrupting them is entirely appropriate for their situation. Or her situation, specifically.

She's faster on the uptake than he is. Unless that's what he was hoping for, but it doesn't appear like it.

Because "please" is so much more convincing if said from a giant mecha.

Magical Girl Kurumi-chan.

Happy face. Happy adorable face.

Before the episode, I liked Kurumi. After the episode, not any less at all.

Haruhiko was rather useless this episode, right?

I felt that it was kind of the point. He was there specifically to not help out.

Baby Mai is just way too adorable.

She really lacks confidence.

Crossing hazard - falling into another world.

Albreht is the coolest teddy bear.

Taking escapism to the next level.

She sure loves bears.

Well obviously she has to do it herself - it's a mental journey after all.

Kurumi reclassed from princess to magical girl.

She lacks confidence no more.

Yeah, the whole thing was about Kurumi finding the strength to stand up for herself, that's why they had someone useless fall in with her.

Mai's right, he is useless lol.

So caught up with stuffs

Episode 5: Ya know, I have to wonder how OP is her ability if it can be negated so easily. She really needs to stop being pissy and just join them already, its gonna happen whether she wants it or not. The teacher totally lied to spare her feelings too.

Episode 6: There is a lot of adorable in this episode, starting with babies. Damn, even as an infant, Minase is a bitch, taking Reina's blanket like that. So, before they fell into the world, I was kinda of having trouble wondering what her hang up was...is she socially awkward? Because she didn't seem to have trouble interacting with kids based on the flashback.

And that is one smoooth Teddie bear, goddamn.

Alright, with this episode, all of the main characters have been properly introduced and fleshed out...well, except Haruhiko, but who gives a damn about him amirite. Wonder where we go from here, it took six episodes to establish the main cast.

What was unclear about what her hang up was? She said it out loud.

That's just way too cute.

At this point Kyo Ani is just showing off.

I like the animation so far.

I don't have a problem with the characters, Ruru is a bit annoying though since she doesn't really feel useful at all, Haruhiko is... well, a protagonist, pretty bland so far, I like him but he isn''t different from other M Cs.

I like most of the characters too, I was excepting to like Koito but so far, she hasn't lived up to her hype at all, lol, she needs to get bailed out repeatedly. That train scene was thrown in because they wanted for us to see that she was a Badass I guess. The phantoms always find a way to screw her ability up after all.

I really like the series so far. And huh, it's probably old paranoiac me but I get bad vibes from the teacher, I dunno why, I'm probably 99% wrong but heh.

a very literal example of how harem anime infantilises women...

Episode 7. In which there are and aren't cats.

Not a Death Flag. Awake Flag.

The rest of the students look equally inspired. Or maybe it's just a catastrophe.

Not getting enough sun can disturb the circadian rhythm, but it doesn't make it go crazy. Mostly, I believe the absence of sunlight would increase the biological day by an hour. Which is pretty much where my natural day is at, with enough sunlight.

Staying up late doesn't really disturb it either, unless it becomes a habit. It will however make the body compensate for the lack of sleep.

Whatever it is going around, it's messing with their awareness.

I guess he can answer Ruru's question with regards of those two.

What's wrong with taking a picture?

Jealous?

English sign is as usual. Only mostly good.

So what was the point of explaining the cat in the beginning, if they're going to repeat it here?

It's almost is if they're walking through the Tardis.

If they're crawling forward, why is she complaining where he puts his feet? Wouldn't it be easier for her to, you know, not crawl into him? Other than that there always has to be someone whining when they're in a cramped space. It's mandatory.

Being a cat has some advantages.

That's not hitting him. That's giving him a pat on the back.

Welp, time to start the cat puns.

Looks like this was a catastrophe.

So I'm guessing that this episode wasn't purr-fect.

Sorry, I'm feline sick at the moment >_>.

I already used that one.
