Well, their disguises are at least as good as Clark Kent's.

Episode 9
Himawari and Wakaba episode. For the most part it was not really that great, beyond focusing on the secondary main characters it just felt too cliche. The best part of the episode was probably toward the end where we get to see the transformations again and a little battle, but it still felt like it was wasting time.
Did anyone else notice that this week's Alone's plan, trying to crash down, was pretty much exactly like one of the angels in Evangelion, not that other Alone have not had familiar traits. I guess I am happy to have watched the movies earlier this year.
Well I guess Himawari is my favourite character in the show, so her outfits made it not an entire loss.

The blandness of episode 9 seems duller than usual after episode 8's slight improvement in narrative. Seriously, the contrivances leading to the missing hairclips and its resolution was pretty loudly telegraphed. Don't want to get too creative and miss any friendship flags from the checklist. I was hoping the bonding between Himari and Wakaba would lead to a Green/Yellow merged form. How are we supposed to know that their relationship leveled up if they don't have a combo form?

Episode 10
This is going to be quite something when it comes out on uncensored blu-ray, likely not going to see it out here now. The part that made the episode has to be Akane showing the birthmark on her butt, such a dork.
And I just realized something really pervy with the whole mayonase thing, well they did not end up covered in it until now. Oh anime.
The big reveal of the magical girl meeting the dark magical girl is a big part of these type of series, and I was really looking forward to it here. Strangely it was Rei who felt more betrayed here.
I don't know if I just did not realize it before, but I found it somewhat humorous that Vividgreen has a booster on her butt. And an excuse to show another butt, really need to have a compilation of every excuse this anime uses to show one.

Ep 10 is definitely a step up from previous episode. I love the character change in Rei and her new friendship with Akane. And to turn it upside down at the end is a nice plot device. The funny part is how the show made Rei as some kind of victim at the end when she has almost gotten the girls killed. Heck, thanks to her many men have been slaughtered by Alone. Can't wait to see what they're going to do to her next episode.

I don't watch anime to see logic in operation, but when it appears or the opposite of it appears I notice.
A new Alone shows up and it gets three arrows, and half of the vivid team dusts it off without even working up a sweat. The prior Alone was cut to fragments first, and one fragment got an arrow and Akane ends up in the hospital. I guess not all Alone are created equal and perhaps they don't appear in increasing strength, but Rei sure got screwed out of at least two arrow-chances she has. Whatever the crow is after it doesn't make sense for it to set her up for failure. It doesn't giver her any help at all and it doesn't make sense.
As for that, I wonder when someone will figure out the crow has been lying to Rei all this time. I'm pretty sure Rei can't do it herself since she is so desperate she has to believe. Although I do have to wonder -- she managed to face down the crow pretty decisively when the episode started. If she has the ability for that sort of pushback she has to at least suspect sooner or later that things aren't on the up-and-up.
And it is logical for Rei to think she has been betrayed. When the useless floating trashcans first spotted her she made the reasonable assumption that she had been under surveillance for some time. From there it would be reasonable to assume Akane was playing her, and that would hurt her deeply given how alone (no pun) she has been.
The bathtub scene was a bit much. Akane did everything short of telling Rei to stick a finger in.

Just because Rei thinks she has been betrayed, doesn't change the fact that she helped Alone that has killed so many people. So far the show conveniently ignore this to somehow make her the tragic victim. All so that she can befriend Akane to have another yuri-ish relationship.

But we all know that it will be Akane who will be doing the befriending, that is what the ultimate attacks of such magical girls are for.
I wonder if she will be able to shoot a giant pink beam?
