Do you like Tactics? If you've never seen it you need to watch it. If you have seen Tactics then I have a question. I don't understand how the heck everyone got their "Mystical Powers." I mean how are they supposed to get them. I don't think that they explain it very well. If you do like Tactics then what is your favourite episode.

I will explain to you my friend. Its simple really-[b]THEY GET THEIR FREIKING POWERS FROM BEING POSSESED FROM EVIL SPIRITS, HOW MORE OBVIOUS COULD IT BE!!!!! With that being said, i love tactics I love episode 13 were the army people vanish and haruka is targeted by the same people and i love how watanabe uses the cannon to fight.[/b]
With a title like "tactics" I was expecting something more cerebral than demon killing in Meiji-era Japan with a hodgepodge of Western and Eastern occult ideas. Not that there's anything bad about that, but I was a little disappointed.
It's certainly no intellectual tour-de-force, but I'm enjoying its Sci-Fi run well enough. I see it as the anime equivalent of junk food: not much substance, but a lot of fun.

I'm still a bit upset about the dubtitles. It's funny how big of a deal the Zeta and Blood+ dubtitles are yet nobody besides me seems to care about the ones on the R1 Tactics. I actually turned the subs off on the later volumes (like I did on Zeta) since I would find the discrepancies rather distracting. Between that and the really long wait for the last DVD frustrated me about the release.
Overall I enjoyed the series and found the supporting cast the best part of the series. I found Yoko rather cute and Muuchan hilarious. I also love the episode that was dedicated to Reiko. The characters make me like this series over the incomplete Shounen Onmyouji which shared many of the same themes.

The musical adventures of the girls bands in BanG Dream! have always been integrated with anime. But as a new entry BanG Dream! YUME∞MITA is even more marinated in said culture. The characters of YUME∞MITA live adjacent to Akihabara, long seen as a mecca of otaku culture in Japan. So, of course these girls are going to be steeped in anime and manga material, and it shapes both their identities and the vibe of YUME∞MITA.
