Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei! | Episode 1 | TFP Review
stardf29: This show wasted little time going back to the yuri fanservice.
Anyway, no problems here. It’s still the same mahou shoujo show that pokes fun at the genre while still being true to it–the transformation scene with Rin and Luvia arguing while it was going on was definitely my favorite part.
The Archer-like second Illya should make things interesting going forward.
EmperorBrandon: Yeah, [that argument] was the scene that stood out most to me. Definitely poking fun at genre conventions on transformation length.
That, and for whatever reason, it feels like Illya’s gang of friends are a bit more fun this episode. Well, the first season went straight to the magical escapades and drama with Miyu, so there wasn’t much time for them. But with things relatively quiet and peaceful at the start, there was a bit more time for their quirks to show through, even Miyu’s own brand of subdued yuri-ness. Back to serious magical stuff (beginning with incomprehensible magic-babble from Lord Waver) in the later part of the episode, though at least I’m curious what role the new dark clone of Illya will play in the show.
Buckeye: It’s still the same silly and generic magical girl show that I remember it being with familiar characters, and now things could really get out of hand with the appearance of Kuro. In another season, this show would probably be included in my watch list at this point, but as things stand with the season being so loaded that something has to give
GingaDaiuchuu: Why do I watch this show again? I guess I’m just a slave to the franchise. I am liking this season more than the first so far, though, so hopefully it can convince me that it’s worth sticking through another full season in the next few episodes.
I find it hilarious that the most moe character in a show with a little mini Rin running around and saving the day for an episode is the one big hard-ass in this show. What happened to our sweet little Waver-kun? I want a spinoff about that.
Two Illyas? This must be Miyu’s dream come true. Depending on just how dangerous this second one is.
Sensuifu: I’m just as guilty Still, it’s a fun watch. Illya’s ‘duality’ makes me think of Misao’s from MGPS, oddly enough.
