Infinite Stratos 06: HHHHNNNNNNNGGGG CHARLES.

Yumekui Merry 06: What a twist. I'm liking the story a lot too.

You have an example of perfection?

No, because there's no such thing ; - ;

Infinite Stratos Episode 6
Horray for fake yaoi momments with a reverse trap....
Also what's with that German chick that just slapped Ichika from the last episode? It's like she's got a freakin issue with him for some reason.

P.S.
Clueless Ichika is clueless when he saw that Charles was a girl...

IS ep 6

Normally, I think fanservice all over an anime is bad. This episode was done right. THE SHOWER SCENE WAS SO CUTE ;-; DAT REVERSE TRAP!

Uh, also, you've seen Madoka Magica 6? I jelli.

Madoka Magica 6:

 Spoiler

Kyubey is so EVIL! I agree that Homura is pretty much confirmed to have come from the future to save Madoka, Terminator-style. Halfway through the season/series and I have to say this show is definitely the best of the season.

Kyubey is up to some sh`it. I don't know if anybody is noticing anything, but I've noticed this around episode 3 or so. Keeps on egging on and on about forcing Madoka to become a Mahou Shoujo. Something's up. Why doesn't anyone try to beat the living sh`it out of that thing?

WHAT? REALLY? HOLY pomegranate, I NEVER NOTICED THIS. c

Because nobody's mentioned it. Well, actually, think Spidey did. Been hinting it left and right like mad. It's just 100% dead obvious at this episode.

Well, it could be that Kyubey isn't so much evil as he is looking out solely for himself. As he constantly pushes to try to contract more magical girls and consumes grief seeds, he must be gaining power or getting something out of it. The fact that he doesn't care about his contracted girls at all and manipulates them to fight each other could mean that he's just keeping his pimp hand strong killing witches is not his real goal. However, I think it might be that Kyubey's selfish actions led to some unforeseen catastrophe that Homura has come back from the future to rectify. Otherwise, if Kyubey really was the main bad guy, I don't think Homura would have given up on killing him so easily.

Most of us thought he was evil from EP1.

Also, guys, spoil your stuff. Khoi iss not up to the same point we are, and I'm sure there are others as well.

Madoka 6

 Spoiler

So much stuff in this episode. So Magical Girls are basically liches, how nice. Their souls are the gems, and the gems get tainted the more they use magic. They need to fight witches to purify it. The Witches = Magic Girls that become tainted theory seems to be getting more likely. Homura is once again giving strong hints that she's from the future, and her power seems to be slightly confirmed. It's probably slow down. If it was time stop she'd probably just go on top of the truck. If it was teleportation she'd just warp on top. But she was doing "jumps" to reach the truck, so she can probably just slow down time enough so she can eventually catch the truck, but the truck is still going moving ahead as she tries to catch it.

Homura's also doing a lovely job at tainting her own soul. She's using magic left and right and not even refilling her gem. I bet this will be an issue that's addressed later. She turned Mami's offer down before, and I would imagine it's been a while since she's filled her gem. She picked up something after defeating Charlotte, but I dunno if it was Mami's gem or just the grief seed. I'll look back at the episode now. In any case, Mami's spirit is probably still alive, and Homura probably has it for safe keeping. She knows about the whole gems being souls thing, so I don't think she'd just leave Mami's soul behind to be lost for eternity.

Okay, so let's try to get everything straight here. Kyubey = Mephistopheles, pretty much. He's working with human weakness, greed, in an attempt to take little girl's souls. Once their souls are taken from their body, it'll slowly get tainted by sin. This is shown by Sayaka going over the edge as far as to kill someone else in the name of what she believes to be justice. As their souls become more tainted, they eventually turn into grief seeds, and by that point they become a witch. Then Kyubey continues the cycle. Kyubey wants Madoka badly because her soul is pure, as shown by how much of a freaking goodie-two-shoes Madoka is. I'd imagine corrupting a more pure soul yields better results for Kyubey (and Satan, whom he probably serves under). Madoka's gem would be bigger than others, so it'd probably be able to store more sin. When Magical Girls refill their magic with grief seeds, they're transferring their sins to the seeds. Kyubey then takes the seeds for himself, collecting all the sins from the witch as well as newly acquired sin from the Magical Girl.

Any of you on these forums read Faust? I'd like to get more into detail, but I don't want to spoil a classic for those that have yet to read it. Caus Madoka is pretty much Magical Girl Faust.

 Spoiler

Wow, I've never read Faust, but this makes me all the more interested to find out more about it. I remember reading somewhere about how some text from Faust was actually written on a wall in an earlier episode of Madoka as they were about to enter the witch world, so that further leades me to believe that your theory is true.

Okay, scratch what I said before about Mami.

 Spoiler

Went back a bit. Mami's gem is on her hat (or in her hair, whatever), which Charlotte targeted first. All that drops from Charlotte when she dies is a hunk of flesh (which is probably from Charlotte exploding), a cup of tea, and the Grief Seed. Homura picks up the seed. It's not shown much, but what Homura picks up doesn't have the flower on top of it like Mami's gem, and it has a different enclosure that Mami's gem.

So, considering the witch went for Mami's head first, it's probably safe to assume that they know about a the soul being separate from the body. and specifically went for the soul first. So yeah, Mami's probably just 100% dead.

EDIT:

BY THE WAY, IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT'S STILL A BIT IN DOUBT ABOUT EPISODE 3 OF MADOKA, HERE'S THE SCENE IN THE MANGA

 Spoiler

And before anyone asks, the manga is based off the anime, not the other way around. There's also supposed to be a spinoff manga at the end of the series. There's also another manga that's following 3 different magical girls, and it's called Puella Magi Kazumi Magica ～the innocent malice～, but I don't know much about that one. http://www.dokidokivisual.com/madokamagica/kazumi/

IS - 6 - MMMMMmmmmm Charles. Also, Ichika is taking the lead as dumbest male lead, beating out Kazuya or whatever it is from Freezing, by a long shot.

Madoka Magica - 6 -

 Because anything would spoil it for anyone

Kyubey is indeed an evil little bastard. I have to agree with a lot of what Spidey says as well, since it makes a lot of sense. Mami may be dead, but Since Homura took the grief seed that came from the witch that ate Mami's seed, I think it might be possible that her gem is extracted at a later point. As for Homura's powers, I think she was restraining from all out controlling time to get Sayaka's gem back because it would have used a lot of power in doing so. I think she used "bursts" get to the truck while use a small amount of power. In comparison to when she butted in on Sayaka's and Sakura's or what ever the spear girls name is fight, she seemed way more in control, being able to move Sayaka at the last second, which would take a jump to and a jump back, while it was only a quick switch and she was saved. Her initial jump back to the time before Madoka makes her wish most likely used a lot of magic, so conserving it as best she can is probably best. Her also knowing who Sakura was leads some credence to this. Overall, I think Kyubey is collecting the grief seeds along with the tainted power from the soul gems to make him stronger.


Also....We have already been given a huge ass spoiler from the beginning of episode one. That was Walpurgis Night. Madoka's wish must have something to do with sending Homura back in order to either prepare them or to be more prepared herself for that. Something tells me that either Homura will indeed keep others alive to help that night (gives light on why getting Sayaka's gem was so important to her [though it could have been to prevent Madoka from making a wish]) or this is going to be some kind of loop where this time around (the one we get to see as they audience) is the one that actually breaks the loop.

But all that could be wrong and we a re just getting trolled here.

Yumekui Merry - 6 - One of the best episodes for a show ive seen this week. Its kinda nice to see that Play didnt get destroyed, cause she was on some levels a good guy, just blinded by her goals. Really really really liked the catgirls . Also, inb4Merry turns out to be the keeper of dreams.

What animes are good?

My favorite I've watched was Paranoia Agent. It was beast.
My favorite mangas are Bleach, Dragon Ball, and .hack

Any shows like that? The .hack show was lame though.

If you like Paranoia Agent, I will assume you're into twisty mind-pineapples and darker stories. You absolutely should see Satoshi Kon's movies, since Paranoia Agent was his one show. Paprika and Perfect Blue will very much flip your brain around. Tokyo Godfathers is not a mind-pineappleer but is one of those movies I have a hard time believing anyone couldn't enjoy like Finding Nemo or Toy Story. I have not seen Millenium Actress. Other shows to consider include Kaiba, Elfen Lied, Durarara!, Serial Experiments Lain (might be a little slow paced), Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, and the movies Mind Game and Tekkonkinkreet. In the kick-ass action department we have Trigun, Code Geass, Black Lagoon, Fullmetal Alchemist and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. In the kick-ass action and "oh my brain" department there's Ghost in the Shell:SAC and Baccano!

And then there are shows everyone who watches anime ought to see. Namely Cowboy Bebop.

Important question, did you watch Paranoia Agent with subs or with dubs? If you are open to watching with subs, then you have a really large selection to go to, but if it is dubs, its a bit more diluted.

^^This.
Also, I really don't see how Charles' father could have managed to fool everyone into thinking she was a boy since she should have had birth records and many people that would have already known her true gender. Then again, I suppose most shows don't make perfect sense and this plot device was just meant to be entertaining and harem building.

I watched it once on Adult Swim with dubs, and then online with subs. Either way works.

wow thanks man! Yea, I loved how thought provoking Paranoia Agent was.
I also loved the art style. A lot. The art really matters to me for watching animated films.
I like ponyo's art.

Okay, is there seriously 9000 episodes of One Piece, or is that a troll? lolol

Oh, and Perfect Blue looks good. People say it's like Black Swan, which was good.
