SS Fire Megumi:

Due to a lucky roll, I bagged the SS Memoria of my dreams, Megumi in shrine maiden outfit with fire elemental powers.  Not only is she beautiful, in this outfit she's strong.  I instantly used her in my 'plot party' and beat the highest difficulty of the score challenge, bagging a platinum trophy for my efforts.  If even my plot party can do that I'm basically unstoppable.  This Megumi is so much better than the light-element Megumi I got previously.

The version 2.0 Heaven Burns Red seems to have buffed all my characters' skills, correspondingly making the game's challenges much less challenging.  I never got such a high score in a score challenge before.  Does that mean I can finally challenge the clock tower on hell mode?  I doubt it, but I suppose I should give it another try.  There's also three new Orb Boss III's I need to take down, and some new, stronger Anachronies, so I suppose the game still offers new challenges to overcome.

The new Angel Beats! crossover event gave me the new protean shards I needed to limit break magical girl Tama to level 4, which is max.  It also allowed me to do my final two skill evolutions, for characters I barely ever use.  So take the usefulness of that with a grain of salt.

I got bathing suit Sumomo's SS Memoria, which I already had, so that contributed ten shards towards her level 3 limit break, so I know who I'm limit breaking next.  (It's wasteful to have 1/2 of a powerful limit break rotting away in the bank, so I have to follow the game's random lead.)

The Angel Beats event was great, as expected of anything written by Jun Maeda.  The old Angel Beats music was super nostalgic.  If I were Miyuki I wouldn't be so forgiving though.  For four classmates to conspire together to terrify you to the point that you accidentally kill yourself trying to escape a 'ghost' that they concocted -- that's murder, plain and simple.  The penalty for murder should be death.  I would have preferred all four of those kids dying for their sin than watching them all get away with it and live happily ever after.  No thank you.  What they did was unforgivable.  But I do understand that Miyuki is a nice girl and nice girls tend to have different viewpoints than mean men like me.

It's very cute that they allowed me to recruit Miyuki as a Seraphim in my army, but she only has an S-Memoria version so she'll never be playable.  Oh well, she is cute.

So long as I keep logging in over the days of this crossover event I'll also get an SS-Memoria Yurippe, which is far more important and cool.  I'd like to recruit Kanade too but not so much that I'll blow money on her like I did for Charlotta and Hisame.  I'll just make what rolls I can and hope for the best.

On that note, despite Hisame having zero limit breaks, she's freakishly strong, finishing off high-rated enemies in single blows.  The 2.0 version of her Mikazuki skill is insane.  It makes my purchase of the materials necessary to get maid Hisame seem like a prescient investment.  With her skills displaying this much potential at zero limit breaks, I should really try to get her to max limit level, but I just have too many other priorities right now.  Besides, she seems fine at limit level 0. . .

Meanwhile, I decided to add Homura/Hikari/Pneuma (the same person with three different aspects, like the Holy Trinity or something) and Elena/Millenia (the same person with two aspects, like Janus or something) to my wonderful characters -- taking out Jania and Marcus from Illyria, who never really deserved mention to begin with.  Obviously characters with multiple names and multiple personalities aren't a good fit for '100 Waifus,' being too confusing, but the more flexible wonderful hall of fame is just the place for girls like these.
