Again we focus on a random kid, and again it’s not a total waste of time at all. Note how this episode revisited some of the previous victims, showing that they’re still alive. That’s rare, even among the good episodic mahou shoujo. This episode also showed a bit more about that mysterious guy, who against my expectations might not be the student council president. This episode also made sure that the battles aren’t going to end up incredibly repetitive by revealing the powers of these mysterious heart seed as sources of random powers. With a bit of creativity this can lead to pretty nice action scenes.
We’ve often seen school photographers in anime. Her story wasn’t as good as last week’s, but it still was well thought out: it’s not exactly like she was feeling down because she was terrible at making photos: she had the right intentions, however by capturing people’s accidents she just carried out her hobby in a bit of a wrong way.
This episode again was great on the visual expressions of the characters. Also, take a look at the student council president’s aikido: that’s not just good animation, but you can actually see that the animators spend time at studying how to perform these techniques. They’re all just hints at how much effort they’re putting into the production of this series. I’m also not sure for how long this is going to continue, but this episode introduced yet another transformation scene. Weren’t these scenes originally intended as a means of laziness? 😛
Rating: * (Good)
Hey..The camera girl didn’t random kid at all. Did you can’t remembered the original OP?. She appeared in it.(Student council president appeared too) So.. for me. She will be important character in future for sure.
And her intention in this Ep confirm it. She try to search for precure!. It’s very nice touch that some people doubt about their existence.(Some mahou shoujo series didn’t have this attention. It’s very weird.)
Gladly that they add some of main plot involved again(about that mysterious guy) and gladly about their creative in action scene too. It make battle didn’t look repititive. I like it.
I ddint like her at all, I mean Duh you take pictures of someone getting a soccer ball to the face they aren’t gonna be happy about it being posted in school. . .and then shes gets all butthurt because the camera guy gave her some advice! Its not like he yelled at her or called her pictures bad etc etc. . .I really thought her character was just annoying as balls, and hope we don’t get to see her anymore.
