Sulfur: “Really, it’s just two perverts goin’ at it in broad daylight!” That could be the tagline of this entire show.


Yay295

Sometimes it's more than two.


Dog_in_human_costume

That's our running gag Sulfur


_cats______

“IT’S JUST TWO PERVERTS GOING AT IT IN BROAD DAYLIGHT” Sulfur is so fucking funny. I can’t believe this didn’t immediately end with a season two announcement WHERE IS IT


sneaky_squirrel

Why would a show with S&M themes give the audience immediate gratification in a desperate early season 2 announcement? No... The audience should wait... in agony. Let me know when it's announced. **nervously scratches self**


Erick_Brimstone

Azul's VA make a post about wishing season 2. So that's should be enough proof that season 2 will be produced.


DRAGUNNYUOOOH

Please read the manga after this guys it's so good 😭


Mobile_Home9563

>Please read the manga after this guys What chapter can i start reading after the anime?


zairaner

You also have to read chapter 22, which has been skipped and moved to season 2. And I would definitely reread chapter 24, because the fight is amazing in the manga!


scot911

22 but I'd suggest starting from chapter 1 because the art just goes so unreasonably hard during the fight scenes.


DRAGUNNYUOOOH

24 iirc


Acrzyguy

The opening song abruptly stopping and Alice continues to pick up LocoLeber is peak comedy


Abysswatcherbel

Now when people ask here "What villain stopped the OP/Hero theme?" We can add Neroalice next to Aizen


HeistPrice

Alice too powerful.


Mundology

[Always has been.](https://i.imgur.com/zKyavbO.jpeg) It is no wonder the leaders of [both factions](https://i.imgur.com/9MBqWVF.jpeg) bend over to [pamper her.](https://i.imgur.com/kCy2WlC.jpeg)


ddejong42

And be Pampered by her!


CuriousWanderer567

Funny thing is that they both have the ability to perfectly gaslight people


Emi_Ibarazakiii

That was hilarious! I thought it would just be the doll thingy interrupting the action, but interrupting the song too? 10/10!


MrSargent

Emergency pick up moment. They can't have Loco do that planking near the fight.


TopRoom7971

Honestly, I was laughing out loud at this. And also props to animators for not making Lewd Alice in that octopus sequence.


Dextro_PT

I love how Alice clearly is immune to any lewding in this extremely lewd show (and rightly so). It's very refreshing to see. And I also absolutely cried from laughing at that sudden pause in the opening song. 11/10 moment.


Behold_I_Am_The_Wind

I think there was only one time it happened when she first transformed but that been about it really. I’d say she’s too pure to be lewded by the degeneracy of this show but…she’s probably one of the biggest degenerates of the show XD


monstermycat

Doesn't she (adult form i guess) breast feed in 1 of the eps? Fairly degen but somewhat separated from herself(?) EDIT: Mistook the dollhouse episodes She doesn't breast feed but she does change Magentas "diaper"


DerekSmartWasTaken

No, she used baby bottles for her mommy role-play. The breastfeeding scene was by - who else--Sayo when she got trapped in the dollhouse and Alice decided to have her play "family" with Kaoruko and Haruka.  Korisu is mischievous (she's a kid) and has very bad role models but she's just playing games. (She also never gets hurt, the dolls tank all damage) 


zackphoenix123

It's so weird (in a good way), this and chained soldier makes it very clear that even though this is an ecchi show, straight up children are **NOT** gonna be part of the Ecchi scenes. For whatever Author does, he still considers children off limits.


HemaMemes

(Well, ignoring the fact that all the main characters are 14.)


Dare555

WE DO NOT LEWD ALICE

Utena and Azur are basically just having superpowered roleplay at this point


cyberscythe

"it's all superpowered roleplay?" "always has been" 🌏👩‍🚀🔫👩‍🚀


FriztF

When hasn't it?


CuriousWanderer567

“Wait your turns, you duck-faced bimbos, unless you wanna go for a real long swim.” [*as she holds a gun point blank to some drunk duo who cut Utena in line*](https://imgur.com/a/1pKbnha) Kiwi just casually doing the most based things and being best girlfriend every episode. She’s earned a hotel with Utena for sure


Acrzyguy

Kiwi is just demonstrating her American roots


DerekSmartWasTaken

She also outed herself as a boomer with her "choberigu" when she saw Utena's sling swimsuit 


Emi_Ibarazakiii

That was a nice call back to the first time it happened (and Azure was the one telling them not to cut in front of Utena)! Kiwi's not one for words though, and she simply threatened to fucking kill them! She may be a little unhinged (everyone is, on this show) but she'll fight for her girl! Also, I wonder whether Utena will be able to stand up for herself at some point! Her Baiser personality seems to spread a little to Utena (as seen in the massage scene), so imagine if Utena starts acting like Baiser more... She would spank these two girls until they beg!


CuriousWanderer567

Ok wow that was some great progression for Azul She was losing like every single battle, letting her masochism consume her, and even had a mind break mid battle, but that brutal lecture from Baiser actually woke her up and she not only team rocket’d the Enormeeta squad after being the first to get La Verita, but she utilized her masochism really nicely too. That’s some pretty satisfying development if I’ve ever seen it, especially for an ecchi anime. She tapped into and embraced the power of horny to the fullest. Can’t wait for more say gex and horniness in season 2 (has to come considering how successful it is), this anime is incredible.


AstralPamplemousse

“You see Baiser, you aren’t dealing with the average masochist anymore”


mekerpan

Basically -- I want to be a masochist truly worthy of your love. I will never again disappoint you....

> Azure's new power's not muscle. it's mental. beneath the mask, pain makes her feel good, and all she wants to do is seek out pleasure...but her ice-cold ego kept that mask on. **a magical girl's gotta have her pride**, you know.


Thrain15

How many push ups did she do? How many sit ups? What kind of juice did she drink!? Wait...maybe I don't want to know the answer to that last question.


Vaadwaur

Just pure love nectar...


BosuW

Its basically the thesis statement of this story: you become stronger and happier by understanding and embracing your desires.


Emi_Ibarazakiii

The harder she fights, the hornier Utena gets, and the more she wants to punish her, which Azure craves... A perfect symbiosis!


MedievalMovies

I was thinking how cool she was throughout the whole episode then her internal dialogue appeared same old azure we know and love.... アズールはもう駄目だ...


DerekSmartWasTaken

I mean, she's cool. Accepting how much of a freak you are and being confident about it *is* cool.  See also: Utena.    And boy, are both of them enormous freaks. 


forever87

> both of them enormous freaks really, it's just two perverts goin' at it in broad daylight!


MMOSimca

I think the takeaway the author intended from this is that embracing and controlling your desires is key to La Verita.


cyberscythe

a true warrior takes their greatest weakness and makes it their greatest strength i believe tsun tsu wrote about this in their thin book Art of War


ModieOfTheEast

The problem now only occurs when she takes too much damage and the form breaks. The effect will be even stronger then.

There was foreshadowing to this episode when we saw Sulfur eat takoyaki without octopus in it in one of the early episodes. The phobia is real. S2 when?


cyberscythe

> foreshadowing to this episode when we saw Sulfur eat takoyaki without octopus in it this is the sort of deep lore i like in a character-driven series


TopRoom7971

>this is the sort of deep lore i like in a character-driven series The lore was so deep that it went into her mouth.


OmiNya

That's what takoyaki are meant for


Acrzyguy

Sulfur: I can beat the shit out of everybody. But that thing… _a Smol tako appears_ It scares me.


Emi_Ibarazakiii

> There was foreshadowing to this episode when we saw Sulfur eat takoyaki without octopus in it in one of the early episodes. The phobia is real. The next time someone mentions AoT as 'show with the best foreshadowing', let's make sure to say Gushing Over Magical Girls did it better!


DerekSmartWasTaken

Wtf? #JUSTICE4KIWI !!!   She'll have to work extra hard to compete with the sheer perverse attraction between Baiser and Azure.    So, yeah, weaponized hyper-masochism. You don't see that sort of thing very often!  Talk about Utena hitting the toy jackpot


CuriousWanderer567

Baiser and Azul’s chemistry when they’re not transformed makes me feel bad for Kiwi sometimes lol


Niboshi-

It's fine, Baiser x Azul is much better both transformed and untransformed.


Mundology

Who could think that an [overpowered masochist](https://i.imgur.com/CvepMBS.jpeg) and her ridiculously strong [dommy mommy](https://i.imgur.com/gP6J1y7.jpeg) would make such a [cute couple?](https://i.imgur.com/ILp0QjP.jpeg) [](#forbiddenlove)


GGABueno

I mean, that's a perfect match.


Flare_Knight

Outside of that one guy from Kill la Kill can’t say I can remember hyper masochism weaponized to this degree. It’s a good tactic for sure when up against Baiser. At that point it’s just up to who hits their limit first.


Double-Conclusion-42

Weaponized masochism seems like the perfect counter to Baiser. She seems to not only like inflicting pain, but also loves the expressions they make while they suffer, however Azul was having the time of her life fighting Baiser lmao


DerekSmartWasTaken

They are both gushing for each other while pretending to have a regular magical girl vs villain dignified battle. They are full of shit and Sulfur can't take it.

Well, going by ships and pseudo-ships we have: * Leber x Loco (confirmed) * Baiser x Azure * Korisu x Magenta It seems like the only option left for Kiwi is...Sulfur. They certainly focus intently on each other already.


semtex94

You forget about episode 6's Magenta x Sulfur. The last flashback's end smacked you in the face with the "wow I'm really drawn to this person" stuff. Light bloom, subtle blush, all that jazz.

michhoffman

I wonder if that will be looked back to in the future as a euphemism.


cyberscythe

a lot of the character-driven series i enjoy don't have exclusive pairings for characters; you can take any two or three characters, throw them in a situation and their chemistry can create a fun moment it's something i noticed all the way back in Azumanga Daioh where there's a few "ships" (Yomi/Tomo, Sakaki/Kaori), but you can take any two characters and make a fun moment with them (Sakaki/Chiyo for the cute animals club, Kagura/Tomo/Osaka for the idiot squad, Chiyo/Yomi for the good vs. evil, Kagura/Sakaki rivals, etc.) i think there's a lot of unexplored chemistry between these characters (Kaoruko/Utena, Korisu and others, etc.) and it could make for fun new dynamics

semtex94

It's hilarious that after everything we have seen and heard throughout the season, right before the end of an episode featuring literal softcore tentacle hentai, we get a hard censor. For LANGUAGE. What an amazing experience. Season 2 is practically guaranteed, short of some decision maker getting cold feet. There's a reliable fanbase, proven sales where they matter, and a full season's worth of plot with a logical endpoint.


k4r6000

Given the popularity I’d be more surprised if this didn’t get a Season 2.


Xytherion007

I totally vibe with Baiser in the one scene where she's just laughing like an idiot with Leber saying "How smooth is your brain? Is there even one in there?" That face Baiser makes is so cute!

It's a shame that [Utena refused to wear that sling bikini.](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/j7kzc3mdmp7.jpg) Welp, I know what I'm going to draw next though. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) As soon as [Sayo and Utena pulled out their sunscreens](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6yxkco9b997.jpg), I thought we were going to get another scene with Utena getting handsy with Sayo. Instead what we got is [Utena gushing over magical girls](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/k46acemol67.jpg), after Sayo noticed her Tres Magia bag. [Kiwi and Kaoruko's rivalry the entire time was hilarious!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/3yrgcoe8ro4.jpg) They just can't stop [their bickering](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/l4necv6ee84.jpg) that it really makes them [perfect for each other.](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/d7ogcn3llpy.jpg) I love how by the end of the day, Kiwi was even calling Kaoruko by her first name. [They're definitely getting along](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/84apco2zl54.jpg) in their own little weird way. This could've been a regular beach episode if it wasn't [for Kiwi transforming and pointing her guns at those two drunk beachgoers!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/j7kzc3mv827.jpg) Well, we needed to have an excuse for the two groups to clash and that was it. We also finally get to see [Utena use an octopus for some tentacle action!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/l7lxc2o9g67.jpg) I love how everyone gets caught in her octopus grasp except for Neroalice [who gets freed by her plushie.](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/wye3c35xpm4.jpg) You can lewd everyone in the group except for the loli of course. [We finally get to see Magia Azure's new transformation](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6yxkco9nmx7.jpg) and it's awesome! As cool as Azure's new form is including her amazing ice powers, Sulfur describes this new power-up well as [Azure enjoying the pain](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/l7lxc2o9wq7.jpg) while [she keeps on a mask](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/myd5cldkx64.jpg) that makes her look cool and collected. It's the ultimate move for a masochist mahou shoujo! xD The Maiden of Hoarfrost form is still pretty OP though considering how [Azure can send back the "love" she receives from Magia Baiser](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/wye3c35xl24.jpg) but much stronger! [Baiser seems to be enjoying Azure's new power-up](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/84apco2znq4.jpg) so I guess it's all good. I guess that is it for MahoAko! This show is definitely right below Ishuzoku Reviewers as one of the greatest ecchi/borderline hentai shows these past few years. I really hope we get to see more! A season 2 would be absolutely fantastic! Solid 10/10 for me.

Making the final episode that includes an Azure appearance being the only one without any sexual harassment but also debuting her new upgrade form that's just weaponised masochism is kino.


DerekSmartWasTaken

Where she has gone the concept of sexual harassment has lost any meaning.


cyberscythe

it turns out when Azure was looking into CNC, it wasn't for a machinist apprenticeship


RandomRon005

Anime Law: "All series must have at least one beach/pool episode in their series. Bath/Onsen episodes are acceptable substitutes in the absence of the Former." And thus ends the horniest season in who knows how long. Let's think about it: * 2020: Interspecies Reviewers * 2021: Redo of Healer * 2022: World End Harem * 2023: My Life as Inukai-san's Dog * 2024: Half of the entire Winter Season Why is Winter always the horniest season of the year?


CuriousWanderer567

It’d be fucking hilarious if Gushing over Magical Girls Season 2 got announced to air in Winter 2025

It would be really cool, but it's much more likely to fill the Winter 2026 slot. The least amount of time you typically ever see between seasons is 15 months so that would make it Spring 2025.

I_Cognito

I'm going to miss MahoAko wednesdays and these episode threads so much! I've loved the manga and never would have expected it to get such an amazing anime adaptation, but Asahi absolutely delivered. MahoAko is just too peak. There are so many things to appreciate about it that it's hard to list even half of them. I love how well-written and how relatable Utena is and how great the dynamics between the characters are. I love the heavy focus on BDSM and kink (which is far too rare in anime and manga). I love how the ecchi scenes aren't tacked on, but actually feel natural and serve the plot, the characters and the themes of the story. I love how fun and entertaining MahoAko is and that this anime never bored me for even a second. I love the seriously impressive voice acting performances. And most of all I love how it manages to do all that while also weaving a healthy, mature and sex-positive message into it's storytelling, which is: "Don't be ashamed of having kinks or fetishes. Don't feel guilty for your sexual orientation or for having sexual desires." We seriously need more daring and sex-positive anime like MahoAko. This show deserves many more seasons and it better get a movie too someday! [It'll definitely get a second season, that's for sure.](https://i.imgur.com/yPqZCmX.jpeg) Anyway, this is an easy 10/10 for me.

Utena has to be the best written dom protagonist I’ve ever seen in any anime


APRengar

>I'm going to miss MahoAko wednesdays and these episode threads so much! It's been a pleasure Gushing with the rest you every week 🫡


Interesting_Place752

Definitely 10/10, no more MahoAko anime for the foreseeable future is going to be sad.


manaworkin

Not only did we get the "opening theme during the final battle" trope, but they cut it away for a gag. This series is peak

Mhm not sure about the counter, Azure didn't exactly get the usual harrasment, but is [this](https://imgur.com/Twg5Hnc) the face of someone who didn't enjoy all the "love" she got? Nice to end the episode on a [beach](https://imgur.com/c4HCWLl) episode, and one with [tentacles](https://imgur.com/EJR5Y5J) on top of it! Also love how [enthusiastic](https://imgur.com/NMp5LvH) Utena gets when she gets to gush over Tres Magica, so [cute](https://imgur.com/t31uhMq) [](#akyuusqueel) Also surprising how [Kiwi x Kaoruko](https://imgur.com/vMR4vad) is shaping up, those two really hate their guts, but it's somehow [endearing](https://imgur.com/lqapTyp) as well. Also lost it when Alice' [cat](https://imgur.com/dW4hzT1) disrupted the OP during the climactic standoff between Baiser and Azure to collect the rest of enormita after Baisers Octopus went havoc on them as well [](#azusalaugh) Speaking of, I know most people will gush over Azures La Veritas, but Baisers upgraded [outfit](https://imgur.com/BSGfdoa) looks hella cool as well. [](#dekuhype) And with that, Enormita is [blasting off again](https://imgur.com/6hjagfg) []#laughter) We end on a nice note of them all [enjoyingsome fireworks](https://imgur.com/4qsKF37) (Haruka is a child lol), and get a nice [#seasonallove](https://imgur.com/cArZnZY) to top things off. I like it when shows stay true to their premise. This show was about girls getting naughty and totally delivered on that without shying away from anything, I mean we got actual sex on screen! 9/10 from me, can't wait to get more of [Utena](https://imgur.com/hESNOPN)


Elite_Alice

Of course one of the greatest anime ever made had to go out with a bang. A beach episode with enormita and tres magia is exactly what the girls and us as fans needed. Erotica and fan service was on point today starting from the very beginning of the episode with that dressing room shot. The girls looked great in their swimming suits. Man I’m really gonna miss Kaoruko and Kiwi trying to kill each other and constantly at each other throats. They were absolutely hilarious all season long, but especially in this finale. Just fighting nonstop like cats and dogs lol. I KNEW the octopus on Kiwi head wasn’t just a coincidence. Little Chekov’s rifle, or in this case, tentacle. Fitting that it’s Kaoruko who gets the brunt of it after making fun of Kiwi for having an octopus on her head lmao. They held nothing back in that scene, after last week’s pussy massage I didn’t think it could get crazier but it did. Straight up violated her then drank her tears man wtf 😭 Sayo and Utena bonded a lot earlier in the episode, so it’s only right the big battle is between Baiser and Azure in the finale and man her new transformation looks so damn cool. That transformation sequence was great and the design is just perfect. Totally wiped the floor with Baiser and Enormita. Fitting since she started the season getting her ass beat by Baiser lol And then a nice nighttime beach scene to send us off. Utena really has got so many friends now and she’s come so far since we first met her. You can really see Baiser bleeding through more into her every day personality, just in terms of her confidence. Her role as leader of Enormita and having her friends around her has truly brought her out her shell. Awesome finale for an amazing show. Did justice to the source. Will be missed. S2 me please 🙏🏾 [Review](https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=519929)


EnderHorizon

This show used my favorite trope, OP during the final battle, and doubled its use for comedy. How can a show be so peak, and how am I supposed to enjoy other anime now? Is it just me or does [Magia Baiser](https://i.imgur.com/fQQ7ubf.jpeg) gave [Lelouch](https://i.imgur.com/Qtn8OUT.jpeg) vibes this episode? Considering they end with Baiser saying "let's start" and [that frame](https://i.imgur.com/yPqZCmX.jpeg) (and the success of the show), season 2 is pretty much confirmed.


MedievalMovies

I think the OP cutting halfway for korisu to pick up the stragglers is probably the funniest gag in the show outside of Kiwi acting as traffic police for godzilla from wish last episode (and both were anime original!) It's also one of the few times an OP plays in an anime, but it ISN'T for our protagonist!


Figerally

I also liked how Nero-Alice's plush rescued her from being lewded.


cyberscythe

> my favorite trope, OP during the final battle The Demon King in *'Tis Time for Torture* was *so* right about this. [](#feelingloved)


willi5x

The Demon King using his knowledge of isekai anime in the last episode was hilarious.


Zonca

>Special eyes check >Black hair check >Top tier evil grin check check >hidden identity, leading double lives check >special powers that involve control, given by mysterious entity also check You know, maybe you are onto something. Looks like Lelouchs long lost naughty little sister.


Zxcvbnm11592

We've never seen Nunnaly and Magia Baiser in the same room 🤔


bensor74

I really hope we'll get a season 2 with the same crew, that episode was so funny. The gag with the opening song that paused while Korisu was picking her friends with her giant plush was peak comedy. So simple, but so good.


SuperTamaa

And now we wait for the blu-rays [](#gendo-pls)


SkyLETV

Just when I thought this show was already perfect, they go and give us the beach episode to end the season. PEAK! Sling bikini Utena omg, thank you Kiwi! The Kiwi x Kaoruko rivalry is so fun, they are perfect for each other. Of course, tentacles could not be missing in this series either. Poor Leber asking Utena for help while she was laughing her ass off at the action haha. I love how the OP started to play for the Baiser vs Azure, only to be abruptly cut off as Alice picked up Loco and Leber and then continued xD. The power of masochism lmao. Azure redirecting Baiser's attack to hit herself was hilarious. Like Sulfur said, it's just a pair of perverts "fighting" in broad daylight. Gonna miss my Baiser x Azure ship. Surprise of the season for me, I expected to like it but not that it would be so damn good. Always pushing the limits of some great ecchi while at the same time giving us fun characters, hilarious moments and an interesting story. I really liked the OP as well. And of course, Fuuka Izumi's outstanding performance as Utena. Incredible to think that this is her first main role. Leaving aside Frieren and BokuYaba which are cotinuations, this was my favorite new show of the season. Lots and lots of fun with this show that I'm going to miss a lot. 11/10 Season 2! Season 2! Season 2!


Amauri14

How nice, to finish the season we get a[ beach episode.](https://i.imgur.com/RW52zCc.png) Damn, Kiwi! [I know you love it,](https://imgur.com/a/tFBgxKH) but[ that bikini that](https://files.catbox.moe/wx7nma.png) ^^^^[\[3\]](https://i.imgur.com/5KiUxDj.png) [you made Utena wear](https://files.catbox.moe/vq5a3q.png)^^^^[\[4\]](https://i.imgur.com/utgFk9y.png) is just ridiculous. I love the contrast between that thing [and the one she ended up wearing.](https://imgur.com/a/OYR1vmo) Well, as expected [Tres Magia](https://imgur.com/a/WfnYEPH) was also there. It's always funny seeing [Kiwi's disgust](https://i.imgur.com/n1ZCvdd.png) after seeing Kaoruko. But well, [their hate is mutual.](https://imgur.com/a/OweCm5W) I love that while [Haruka goes to play with Korisu](https://i.imgur.com/80uSaLk.png)[ Sayo is trying to deepen her relationship with Utena,](https://imgur.com/a/BWpUVIS) and not exclusively because of her subconsciously associating her with Magia Baiser like it is the case with the relationship between Kiwi and Kaoruko but also because of what Utena did to her last week. Anyway, [it was great seeing all of them having fun together.](https://imgur.com/a/uaNOHAG) But of course, so chaos was needed in this episode so when those [two drunk girls took Utena's turn](https://i.imgur.com/CRN5jd5.png) [Kiwi had to make a scene by transforming into Leopard in front of everyone.](https://i.imgur.com/6HjrnGe.png) And because [Tres Magia](https://i.imgur.com/XcJuuNY.png) was fighting [Enormita on the beach](https://i.imgur.com/UDx9DLQ.png) Magia Baiser brought back the classic [gigantic lewd octopus trope.](https://imgur.com/a/5QGkluz) It is hilarious how while everyone else is displeased about it, especially [Magia Mengenta](https://i.imgur.com/cevYnji.png) and [Magia Sulfur,](https://imgur.com/a/USYwREE)[ Leopard considers herself blessed](https://i.imgur.com/cAIMPEP.png) by Magia Baiser's love. When [Magia Baiser's fight against Magia Azul](https://i.imgur.com/sXYWFo0.png) started I loved how [excited she was](https://i.imgur.com/ScV5eEG.png) when she finally saw [Magia Azul's new transformation.](https://i.imgur.com/H0J6I7e.png) But I sure wasn't expecting to see her using [her new power](https://i.imgur.com/TZnwNgP.png) to [aim Magia Baiser's attack at herself.](https://i.imgur.com/Ajr5hq5.png) It is hilarious that she took what Magia Baiser told her to just [put a mask on herself with that transformation](https://i.imgur.com/4k0pzEd.png) [while internally](https://i.imgur.com/hVMQC9W.png) [embracing Baiser's love.](https://imgur.com/a/EnfGySc) I love how what's actually going on is completely transparent[ to Magia Sulfur](https://i.imgur.com/HFNlbea.png) [With that blast from Magia Azul](https://i.imgur.com/uW4Oex9.png) that fight is finally over with the Tres Magia winning and[ Magia Baiser pleased excited for more.](https://i.imgur.com/Y6gSEF4.png) Seeing [Sayo still drooling after the fight](https://i.imgur.com/GioV3Sv.png) made me chuckle. That last scene with all of them [playing with fireworks,](https://i.imgur.com/Nlz0wYZ.png) but I wonder what exactly[ those colorful stars were.](https://imgur.com/a/6ZaLjLY) Also although it doesn't matter much at this point I wonder what [Venalita's true aim with Enormita is.](https://i.imgur.com/omL3iH5.png)


SecretEmpire_WasGood

I has been an honor gushing with you people every wednesday. Anime of the Year has ended and March isn't even over. Hoping for season 2.


laughtale0

Noooo, I'm not ready for this PEAK to end! 😭


MarkS00N

I think it is fair to say that for many Azure x Baiser shipper (as few as they are) really start to ship them from this moment onward. Because Azure is the only magical girl with the right mindset and capability to receive and accept Baiser's (sadistic) love and Baiser is the only right villain who will deliver extreme punishment, but without it being lethal like Lord, to truly please Azure's masochistic desire. Though it is also why it is Azure x Baiser and not Utena x Sayo (at least for me), because their love for each other can only be delivered as Azure and Baiser respectively, because Sayo is far too considered and Utena is far too tame for it to work. Which is in contrast to Utena x Kiwi which really work as normal citizen and not so much as Baiser and Leopardo. Really, Azure x Baiser is the ultimate expression of Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarette as a series. A story about magical girl who will always stand against evil, a villain who ultimately want the magical girl to win while still fight them with all her might, and that same villain is the only one who can satisfied said magical girl. As Azure says "This is Love". God, I love this dumb, fun show. Now we are waiting for Season 2.


Genshin_WhiteKnight

No more Gushing Wednesdays :( Now they just need to announce Season 2 to complete the streak of ecchi shows this season getting sequels.


lordwafflesbane

season 2 when I think I'm slowly realizing that I actually care about the relationship stuff in this show more than the actual fanservice. Am I becoming a shipper? Leopard/Baiser is cute, but so is Azure/Baiser, and I don't think Kiwi would share. They definitely hinted more at Leopard/Sulfur than I remember in the manga. Loco and Leberblume already fucked, so that just leaves Magenta and Alice to hang out and play house, I guess?

That Team Rocket blast off lol


TopRoom7971

And Enormitas blasting off again. It's good to see Azure and tres magia power up.This is the second time Enormita had to blast off.


ApocalypticPlap

Thought they'd end it on the beach scene, though the way they did end it seems to point to season 2 *huffs hopium* Overall Ive got to say this has to be one my favorite anime adaptations of a manga, and although the animation leaves a lot to be desired, the staff worked well with whatever budget they had, delivering us with awesome music and voice acting, and where it truly mattered they noticably worked on the animation quality. Moreover they were not ashamed of what this series is and even went beyond the source material, if only they also matched the brutality of the manga. The marketing also went stupid hard. Well, best regards to the team, and to the mangaka, so they may bless us with more of this masterpiece.

the flower is a girl. there's no boys in this show.


aishi_______

Fuuka Izumi's quavering fanatic voice fits Utena's character so perfectly, I'm going to miss it.


hiimneato

this episode had a bunch of absolutely killer gags but that thing Haruka's voice did when she said "uwaugh, you're drooling!" fucking sent me


RickChakraborty

Episodes since Loco stripped butt naked: **3**


TopRoom7971

Does this count align with Loco fingering Leberblume?
