Enjoy the finale of Black Rock Shooter S2 Puella Magi Madoka Magica S2 Mari Okada’s newest masterpiece. I can’t really say anything here without it being a spoiler. I’ll just say that the best characters are all in this episode. Take that as you will. Oh, and spread is what Okada did to my asshole.

See you next season, you scum.

What the fuck is going on?

Penultimate episode! And not to point fingers, but somebody doesn’t know the difference between time traveling to the future and to the past. And if Germans are to be believed, next episode will be quite interesting.

Some fun with names this post:

• Yuzuki, Hitoe, and Akira‘s family names all reference the color they use.
• Both Ruuko and Iona‘s family names have references to the sea. Kominato means small port, and Urazoe means inlet.
• Hanayo‘s name has the kanji for flower, like with her hair.
• Midoriko‘s name means, well, green child. The kanji is changed from “child” to “princess” on the cards though.
• Grandma’s given name is Hatsu, meaning first.
• Yuzuki and Kazuki share the kanji for moon. Look carefully at her new LRIG outfit. The Yu part means play, whereas Ka means scent.
• Mayu, the mysterious girl once thought to be called Ener (assuming they’re the same), is written with the kanji for cocoon.
• Selector can be split into select or.
• The X in WIXOSS represents the pronunciation of cross.
• Infected is what I did to your mom last night.

:O

Some notes. In a certain rooftop speech, the person speaking only uses the personal pronoun “watashi” way at the beginning and way at the end. It’s only implied in Japanese who the speaker is, but that’s difficult to carry over to English. Also, I know I talked about dat Arai Satomi last time, but I’m going to revise that to Taneda Risa this episode. Fuck yeah, Taneda Risa.

Oh yes, and the next episode title is “That Emotion is Stranded”. It’s stranded in the way that you get washed up on a beach and stranded, not like in the middle of a desert stranded. Bring up any imagery? Also, though it was translated “wish” in the beginning of episode 1, the speaker actually says 思い, “emotion” in that monologue.

Plot-related sexiness

This fucking episode. Go and watch it quickly. Pay specific attention to how sexy Yuzuki is too.
