Puella Magi Madoka Magica

In terms of Iroha and Felicia not noticing they've walked into an Uwasa I just put that down as standard Shaft Bizarrchitecture

I laugh when the sweet water's good luck is visualized by the gacha roll. Who's the lucky light girl, I wonder?

Speaking of the anime and good luck, I managed to get Kyoko from the anime banner. Now all I need is Mami and the Holy Quintet is complete (at least until October).

Uwasa is the general name for them, I believe it literally means 'rumour'

The one from this episode should be the misery owls, I think?

Misery Rhyton, actually,the Owls are the familiar-analogue.

Misery Rhyton; the owls are familiars just like the padlocks are familiar to the staircase and the ema boards to the horse.

I notice something; in the game, the water rumor is in Sankyo Ward's stressed examinees. In the anime, it's in Kosho Ward's horse-betting parlor. At least, now the stupid "a high school turns out have large sewer that you can hide a cultist outpost" is no longer a thing.

Still saving my pick-a-character draw for Kyouko, since she's the last of the original characters I need, but waiting it out to see if she shows up from the freebie draws or something else.

...Why are these things called "banners," anyway?

Since the fans of the mommy of RNG collect-your-waifu, Kancolle, call the splash arts for events where you can get new ships "banners", as in the flags you put on ships' masts.

Oh so MR's fan terminology wasn't exclusively cribbed from Grand Order then.

EDIT: Also, I just got Madoka and Homura's doppels and with them a doppel for each element.

Apparently I have doppels of each normal element already—Tsuruno, Yachiyo, Mami, Homura, and multiple Light-types—but that reminds me to finish kimono-Mitama, who already has all the xp but apparently needs a bunch of light books. May have to wait until Friday to farm some of those. Really wish there was a way to downgrade higher-level books, always got tons of those laying around.

You can farm books by doing the Magical Girl Stories of a girl of a given element. You farm 1-3 for the first-tier books, 2-3 for the second-tier books and 3-3 for the third-tier books. Its also the best way to grind episode points.

Supposedly their drop rate in magical girl stories isn't all that great, other than a few specific cases. May end up doing that anyway though, have already got more AP potions than I can ever use.

Also, Madoka's Valentine's story is probably the weirdest thing I've seen yet in this game. Talking chocolate? I guess that's what happens when you let Inu Curry write a script. Madoka has a bit of a Deadpan Snarker side, apparently.

Well the talking confections would make anyone a deadpan snarker. Weirder still is the Mitikahara bunch talking to air thinking it's Mami though that one has a pigtail-haired explanation and Madoka thinking that Homura, the girl who leapt though time to save her from certain doom would ever leave her.

The missing Mami is actually not a bug, it was also in the original JP version. It's Emiri's illusion magic enforcing continuity since Mami is still missing at this point in the main story

In during Hotline Mitakihara

I'm aware of that, as my spoilered comments indicate.

Onto Lovesickness pt 2&3, we have Sayaka trying but failing to hide that she baking chocolate for Kyosuke and Aimi trying but failing (somewhat, he did receive the candy) to give her own crush chocolate.

Aimi technically failed her objective. Her love chocolate got mixed up and she gives it to another classmate. In Japanese Valentine's Day, what kind of chocolate you get make show of what you think of that person. If your crush, who you knew likes you that way, sees that he got the obligatory chocolate, then he'll make his conclusion from that. As long he doesn't realize it, and she made a lot of failed love chocolate, then maybe they're still in the status quo.

Well Miyako's was interesting. Homura's attempt at being a mentor went ...poorly. Momoko's story was interesting for the fake rumor angle and Ren's was prolly the most heartwarming of the bunch so far

Also got Kurom the tix and all the Stones, so my next goal for the event is to get all the outfits and the Destiny Bottles (and A gem for Tsukasa)

7. You know something is wrong when Kyoko is the smartest person in the room. Guess there's a magical girl cult running around that can control both witches and the new Uwasa monsters. How lovely. The intrigue is good, Felicia is still cool, and I'm liking the witch forms acting as power-ups. Nice way for them to make use of something that was meant to hurt them. Yay for cutting down on Iroha's travel time.

literally the dumbest thing homura did, do not argue with me

Kind of a weird convoluted version of Just Between You and Me, as it turned out.

Also, someone needs to explain to me what is "A la Carte" about this Valentine's event. You have to play through every story in a set order, you don't get to pick. Maybe they meant how you can choose outfits in the shop. Or that the characters choose people to give chocolate to? Or it's just Gratuitous French.

Well my Free anime pulls got me Kokoro and a copy of Dependable Negotiator. This after yesterday's got me a copy of the Tank combo memoriae (Sunlight and Asuka Garden).

EDIT: And then I spent some tickets and paid gems trying to get the pity to a multiple of ten...only to get Konoha in 2-3 pulls. And I now have exactly 250 pulls left afterwards.

I can only hope that Azelia rerun happens soon or that Scattered Flowers have Ayame in the event shop because I just need her now to complete the Azelia trio and with that get all the relevant protagonists of the latter.

I got Kokoro from last Sunday's free roll.

Assuming we follow a similar schedule to JP, there'll be an Azalea rerun before Scattered Flowers, but it's still a while off. We should be getting Diary and Happier Height reruns before then unless EN decides to skip those for the sake of speed.

I guess whether or not I'd rather have the events skipped (And Ayame being put in SF's shop) or not depends on if they happened after Dreaming Sakura/Leaving the Nest, as The latter's banner is one of the ones I'm spending 100+ pulls on.

What were the changes in the reruns on JP? I know that Diary's added Rika to the shop and that A la Carte's added extra events (which were basically frontloaded into the event's NA run)

Got Ria and Himika as new girl from the last 10 roll for the pity. Don't really have mats to awaken them cause I'm focusing too much on raising Magia level.

I don't think we'll get Azalea anytime soon. If the event drop, I would say that it's just before Scattered Flower, which was a post-Chapter 10 event. Instead, they'll chase after the rest of the events in preparation of when Chapter 10 drops, so no rerun until then. Nagisa event is necessary because it introduces the raid mechanic for the final boss, while Whereabouts of Feather is a must before or during Chapter 9.

The chance for rerun in JP is pretty high, but the main story update being super sluggish is a pretty much guarantee for it to happen. By the way, we still haven't see what's up with the 'locus' Witch, so I want Nanaka's team story get wrapped up properly along with their event chain with Azalea and Daito apartment.
