![]() ![]() We also don’t learn the significance of what the magical girls were fighting at the start of the episode, which might be because it’s part of a larger, later reveal, or again, video game stuff. ![]() Our two lead characters seem fine, which works out as most of the episode focusses on them, though we have no insight on why the two evil girls are doing evil things, unless that part is explained in the video game. Part of the appeal of Blue Reflection Ray was being able to finally see what this story is all about, but if, like me, you haven’t played the video game, there’s simply not enough here to enjoy.īlue Reflection Ray does present an interesting world, despite the magical girl aspects of it appearing to be very cookie cutter so far.
