Drug abuse normally begins as a coping mechanism, but it quickly spirals into its own problem with its own destructive effects(eg, Mary abusing her child). Even if the original issue was resolved, drug abuse doesn't stop so easily. Alcohol also creates a chemical dependency, so a bad enough drunk will go through major withdrawal symptoms is they don't get their fix.

I thought the hole at the end was her doing - which made Winterprison obviously jump, thus getting exactly where Swim Swim was gonna swing. |

Great Jumping Jehosaphat... this is like trying to herd cats. I know what alcoholism is and how it usually works. My Mom, bless her soul, gave me a direct and personal example of it. So, again, I only wanted to point out that there was probably something that caused Calamity Mary to become an alcoholic, and I doubt very much if that thing has been resolved, regardless of her current dependency on alcohol. This earlier issue may very well be a factor in why she is acting the way she is right now as alcoholism generally doesn't cause people to go on killing sprees. I'm curious if they'll address it, or just leave it at "she was a bad person and a bad mother", which is pretty much all we know about right now. I suppose this is mostly my fault for not having been clear enough about what I was trying to say and I'll try to do better next time. |

Good catch. I hadn't noticed that but I went back and checked out that portion and I believe you are right. Not sure what would have made Winterprison's walls collapse other than a hole, with the possible exception that they were so heavy they caused the floor to buckle (that's assuming there is a basement to the structure which I don't think is common in buildings of that type in Japan). @ Tour_of_Gondolin: I realize that you were only expressing your opinion and for what reason you were doing that, but you should also be aware that the question of whether alcoholism/drug addiction is a disease or not it a touchy one. So don't be surprised if in the course of expressing your particular opinion, you get some push back from people who actually consult medical authorities as opposed to someone who just decides he knows the answer based on anecdotal evidence. If you are not prepared for that, then I suggest keeping your opinion to yourself or in a situation where you are confident you won't offend other people. |

Looking at the scene closely, it collapsed right after she punched the wall. Since she can only make straight barriers, the structure she made to capture the Peaky Angels become unstable, causing her to leap out from under the rubble and surrender the initiative to Swim Swim.

@ Polycell: yep, you're right. Sorry, killjoy_the ... you suck.
Actually, I'm glad Tama wasn't directly involved. Poor kid, I feel for her. She got boned right from the start, falling under the influence of Ruler. At least some of the other Magical Girls got some fun before the crap hit the fan. I don't think any of it has been fun for Tama at all. |

If Tama had met Nana or Top Speed first before Ruler her life would have had some fun since those two are were the nicest of the earlier magical girls before Alice and Snow White arrived. They would have had some fun before Fav turned this in despair. |

You know, at first I thought Fav only needed 8 candidates to fight against the shadowy things from the beginning, but now I think he just likes seeing magical girls die.
And while Top Speed's inevitable death was tragic (damn you Swim Swim and your dramatic timing), Sister Nana's death was almost overwrought. Sobbing and despair was perfectly understandable, but moving to alcohol, drugs, and hanging herself with Winterprison's scarf in about a week? Did she have no family to cry/rely on? No other reason to live? Rather than making me feel sad I was more surprised that it happened. At any rate, it seems like Yunael? figured out either Snow White's or Hardgore Alice's identity, so they're definitely not out of the line of fire. Speaking of Alice, it's nice to get a bit of rationale for why she stalks Snow White - respect for her ideals. Hopefully we get to see more of her backstory (death not included). If F.a.v. wants the magical girl count down to four, I think Tama, Yunael?, and Alice will be the ones to die. |

This would have been the best episode yet if it hadn't tried to be dark again. Killing Top Speed like that felt like a waste of a good character (and continued the annoying pattern of flashback=death by the end of the next episode) and Nana's death felt like the writers just wanted to get rid of her. The action in it was a lot of fun, though, and Hardgore Alice's powers are still as cool as ever. I also liked Ripple's speech about what being a magical girl means. I just wish the show had more restraint with its darker parts.

I'll admit Sister Nana's death was a bit darker than I like from this show. As grim as it can get I mainly like MGRP for how completely ridiculous it is. The Calamity Mary fight was a lot of fun though and Swim Swim continues to be the best and most unpredictable characters of the bunch...to me at least...
When looking up peoples reaction to the episode earlier I ran into a few people saying how much they thought the episode/show sucked, and honestly as someone really enjoying MGRP the comment surprised me a lot. The expectations I had for this show have been met almost exactly, sure it didn't surpass them but the idea people went into this show expecting high-art kinda baffles me. It's far from my favorite show of the season, but not every show needs to try and be 3Gatsu Lion or Yuri on Ice and sometimes I just want to watch a shallow, fun action series. |

Yunael was the one killed by Winterprison. It's Minael there. |

SPOILERS ...
well , i knew top speed was going to die before the six months, I just didn't know when. This show is definitely my favorite so far as it IS still exceeding my expectations . With the death of La Pucelle and top speed, it finally gave way for Snow white and Ripple to find their friendship ,but what does that mean for Alice? Is she going to die also? Maybe that is what one of the twins meant when she said, she knew how to kill one of them(Snow or Alice) . Maybe she now knows where Alice lives and going to kill her while she is in her normal form or something . Can't wait for next episode

I don't think that would happen. I'm not saying for it to always be light, I just wish it would stop adding darker content for its own sake. |
