I like it, but trying to be meta with a Magical Girl series when Pretty Cure already does the same thing on a yearly basis made that part not very special to me.
Persona/ Stand using guy was cool, though. Hope to see the mech guy and the Black Lagoon like gangster guy next ep. Selesia would probably like the mech guy, since she had one in her story, but couldn't bring it with her to our world.

I like that the "Totally not a Stand" guy is like the archetypal Edge-lord character from the looks of it. Complete with belts on his pants legs.

I find the term Edgelord to have lost all meaning when so many people use to describe something dark in a negative sense when it never really actually makes sense to do so.
I can make an exception with Persona/ Stand guy, though, but he's an obvious parody.

Nah, the part with Mamika getting shocked by the sudden grittiness was my favorite. When the genres collide!
Persona guy looks suitably ridiculous.
Face me now, Bitch!
I tend to only use Edge Lord when the character is clearly invoking the stereotypes associated with it.

Man, this series was crazy; it's like Fate/stay night except with Anime characters instead of folklore heroes.
I laughed at how the Magical Girl was like "wait, why did everything turn violent all of a sudden!!" and then the classic rival character shows up with a Stand.

I like how Celestia reaction to seeing her creator is just irritation. I totally get her tho.

Oh man, the review on ANN mentioned this, but I wonder how they'd react to all of the doujins being made of their series...the sfw and the nfsw ones.

Wut?
Oh god, that could be brutal.
Was not super-fond of episode 2. Spend half the time on Meteora babbling, and then the stuff with Mamika felt like spiteful parody of magical girls
Mamika's utter horror at seeing the collateral damage from her fight completely sold me on this series. Just the implication of that being how it works...
Like, imagine a character from some series with over-the-top gore and darkness getting an inverse realization- being super caught off guard and unsettled when it turns out cutting through bones and such is hard.
And does this mean that censorship makes Mamika effectively invulnerable?

Celestia? is that an official translation?
Dunno I couldn't actually remember her name, so I checked on My Anime List, and that's how it was there.

I think the subs I used used Selessia.

Just flowing with it.
Two episodes in and I'm really liking it so far. I like how Meteora, the one in charge for infodump in her game, is also in charge for infodumping in the show. Her remark about the information density in the real world being so high compared to hers is interesting. So before the characters are transported they live in inherently simpler worlds (because the limitations of the authors' imagination)?
Mamika's reaction to her attacks being actually dangerous is amazing. The new guy is straight out of Persona, or Shaman King, and he just tanked Mamika's big attack. The power levels are pretty messed up here. Should be even more fun when a giant fucking mech (or two, if Celestia's author can do something about Vog) joins the fray.
The director has apparently stated that the series is directly inspired by Last Action Hero, expectations, expectations...
It won't be truly Last Action Hero-inspired until we get a kickass hard rock/heavy metal soundtrack out of it.
Despite my original concerns about the show, so far it's been one of the best newcomers of the season for me

Why do Japanese anime put that prefix "Re:" in front of things?
There's that anime Re:Zero, there's Re:LIFE, and I'm almost certain I've seen it a couple of other times. It feels like the Japanese equivalent of when American properties used to put "X" behind something to make it sound cool.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but from a glance it makes me think these things are connected.

I like it so far but the MC is just painfully bland. I hope that they try and subvert the typical MC-stand in persona at some point.
Warrior to the very end! My tumblr, dood!
Face me now, Bitch!
The MC is just the narrator, so him being bland is probably the point.

Yea, he even said he prefers to narrate someone else's story rather than be the main player. I feel like that's gonna be turned on its head though.

Liking it so far. It's like Last Action Hero up to eleven.
Mamika's reaction to the destruction she caused was pretty awesome. She would've had no qualms about the carnage if she was a character from a show like Madoka.
...It's a miracle they haven't run into fan arts or doujins of themselves yet. Also, I wonder what would happen if they came across fan art of themselves complaining about porn of themselves.
Mamika was able to unleash her magic in the real world but Meteora's Restoration Magic didn't work? I guess there are certain types of magic that are allowed to work or something?

Here's a thread the show hasn't pulled on: What about differing art styles? Like, they're anime characters, but people don't react to them entering the real world with 'holy shit, a cartoon is walking around the real world Roger Rabbit style', but with 'huh, that person looks a lot like that anime character'. But nor do the characters say 'why do I look so different in this world?'
Of course, one answer to that is that show is not, in fact, taking place in the real world. Obviously. The truth is that it's an anime, so of course regular people look like anime characters. But one would expect a trashy LN adaptation, an idealistic magical girl show and an edgy action game to be in different worlds stylistically. And yet here we are.
So a part reverse isekai, part Fate-style battle royal, and part meta commentary on stories. After two episodes I can safely say I'm enjoying it greatly.
Very interesting premise, with explicitly fictional characters being transported to our world and being fully aware that in this world they are not real. Interesting to see how each of them deals with the whole mess.
