Looks like Takamiya went to the land of the penguins ;o

Man tears were shed of course. So they also decided to initiate the kiss for a contract in the climax. I feel trolled now. He backs out of the last fucking minute with a kiss on the lips?! Oh who am kidding, this is Takamiya we're talking about. Underwhelming ending but it was a fun episode imo.

So I heard they went with an anime original ending that cuts off a season 2 in the future? Now I have almost no motivation to watch later.

Oh lord here it comes, the "well it was mediocre but I watched it anyway". I swear to God there are probably people who sit look at a Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, etc. painting and say, "God that is medicore". All things considered WCW is one of the more original works this season and in a while.

I mean did you read your own sentence, its a paradox, so the show is mediocre (this means average), yet it caught your attention because it was very unique.

This show was pretty average. Kind of like High School Dxd without the nudity in my opinion. Didn't have a very good sense of direction for the plot and was jumped around a lot, but it was still interesting at times. Decent action in this episode, but I'm fine with it being done now.

Well, I enjoyed it quite a bit, though dunno if I'm giving it a good score due to how disappointing other shows have been this season... I may have to revaluate it in a month or so.

Anyway, it was an OK ending, but I still have a pet peeve with how annoyingly pathetic the wimpy MC acted... He would give his eyes to save her, but he can't kiss her lips to save her? It was played for laughs, but it was not really funny...

Oh well, rant aside, it was fun.

Wasn't an anime original ending. It was literally 1 page difference from the manga, which from what I remember is chapter 28.

Lol at the moment between the bear and rabbit when their speech was was translated.

The llama got tied up :P

He's so damned chicken to kiss her properly.

"It's outrageous to kiss someone when you aren't even married." Seriously? What timezone is he from xd

That last fight between Chonoire and Kazane was pretty random.

Takamiya's power looked girlish was awesome indeed! XD
Nooo.. Kagari.. :/

Chronoire meets Weekend.. Liked how casually they were walking to a place for the battle. XD
Eh, Weekend is defeated already? Chronoire is better than I thought!

Takamiya just couldn't kiss Kagari on the lips. XD
Though, a kiss on the forehead worked at least.

How modest of Kazane; staying out of the battles even when her magic restored in 20 hours. XD
Chronoire vs. Kazane was too short..

White Princess is considerate! Everything has been resolved now. :)

Medusa's underlings arrive once again.
Kuraishi (Cat-girl) is the best! XD
Defeating 2 = Defeating 5 altogether. Expect no less from Kagari. :)

This show was good. Won't mind an OVA or sequel to this.

Okay so Takamiya's completely okay with sacrificing his own life for the sake of others...how brave of him. Then he wanted to save Kagari's life. Mikage told him to kiss her. He gets flustered and couldn't do it because "you don't kiss someone you're not married to." Huh? He must really want to get in the "Most Wimpy Characters in Anime" list. Tanpopo's rabbit minion has more balls than him ffs.

Well...


The anime ends at a spot before these events happen so most people aren't going to learn of them and will just be left confused/annoyed. They still haven't revealed "everything" since they're hardly at chapter 32 now.

The animation was solid overall, and that's the only thing going for this series.

The characters weren't interesting, in fact half of them were just punchbags, and the story wasn't intriguing at all, since the characters themselves lacked depth.

The MC was a wuss from start to finish, and Kagari was annoying at least.

The OST was forgettable.

I wish I could way that Takamiya will be the worst MC of 2014, but I cant, since its certain that the industry will prove me wrong.

It just seemed to wimp out a bit at the end, and even when she "died", it wasn't like I actually felt anything--she'd just been too much of a stoneface throughout the entire show. I actually liked the fail five tower witches better.

Couldn't help but laugh when he was about to kiss her on the lips but then suddenly kisses her forehead. lolol.

Tanpopo's rabbit and the bear's conversation lol. And they both go flying.

...and it goes back to just another typical day where Kagari is kicking ass, even without her mana.

I have to admit that I liked all the various antagonist witches a lot better than Ayaka. It's just too bad that not even the manga has progressed to the point where they've revealed just why she's so serious and single-minded towards Takamiya. It's progressed a little bit but is still pretty young.

Lame ending.. nothing changed, Takamiya still a coward as ever thus just going with the flow and they return 2 their daily life once more. I hope Takamiya can be a little mature and show some backbone 4 once if Evermillion might leave his side in the near future. Well dat's not going 2 happened anyway since Evermillion is the reason why all the witches want his power so badly. (Without this godly presence, his existence is just like a mere pebble 2 me) Rant aside, I'll read the manga later in case something good might happened.

Aside from that, I had my fair share of laughs throughout the series!

Enjoyable episode and I gave WCW 8/10 because Honoka's character development was not that much and there are things that wasn't answered (probably, Ayaka and Honoka's relationship & connection in past)

Need to continue the manga.

Considering how little I enjoyed the first episode this was a fun series but damn, Hokoka and Ayaka need to get it on, that's the only way to stop him from being such a wuss I reckon.

I ll give it a 9/10 just to counteract the stupidity in here, "I don't like the male mc so 4, I enjoyed it, it was unique, original but 5 or 6 anyway" this is why scores mean sh!t, MAL is good for archiving your watched list and the forums.
The bear an rabbit fights were epic , great atmosphere, good music and a mellow feeling all around, I could watch this for hundreds of episodes.

The author comments on the inner workings of the series in volumes and blogs that didn't make it in the manga and anime , I made a thread in the manga section if you're interested
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1119119

For example - why aren't there many powerful witches (who are immortal and invincible)?
Because most of them just achieved godhood and left the mortal plane entirely. This leaves precious few godly witches who stayed behind for personal reasons.

I see a lot people here love the Sleeping Beauty cliche that has been done million times. I glad they did something different and it still worked. Remember this show mainly gender reversal. Takamiya was the damsel while Kagari is the knight as shown in the first episode.

Takamiya...it's great that he saved the entire town, actually gained enormous power instead of being useless form the start, and has the determination to do whatever it takes to fulfill his goals (not that the same can be said for many other protagonists from other shounen anime I know)...but when push comes to shove, he still lacks the balls to kiss the girl he's always admired, that loves him deeply enough that they would give each other their lives. It's just a f***ing kiss! I get it if he were abstaining from sex until marriage, but a kiss, regardless of it being the first one or not, should not be that big of a deal. Hell, even Kagari has tried to have her way with him before in bed (without his consent of course). If there's going to be a second season, he better shape up, and be a man! Right now, he's still a mere lad.

And another thing, when he thought Kagari was dead, (despite pulling out the knife stabbed into his back by the blade with his bare hands like a bad-ass) he still didn't even have the spine to deal the finishing blow to the biggest villain he's ever faced, that had already killed countless lives in the town by this point.

They went with an anime-original ending for Magi too, yet they still gave it another shot. So, who knows? Depends on the sales of the BDs/DVDs.

Omg the rabbit and bear interaction part was so freakin' cute and hilarious. XD

Turned out way better than I thought it was. (I didn't like it much in the beginning). Although it's a bit too comedic for my tastes, they at least stuck with the comedic route throughout the entire show so that was okay~

Most of the characters were really irritating especially first few episodes basically all the fangirls of Kagari - even when they saw she was close to Takamiya they still treat him like shit. It was so incredibly annoying.
I lost track of the story about half way through because it was all over the place and getting quite boring.
I HATE that group of witches who are just there for comic relief and don't do anything. The light-pink-salmon colour hair girl with the cat ear things has the most annoying voice. They also make me hate the ED which would be pretty catchy otherwise.
Animation and art was incredible though - but that's like receiving a really crap present in beautiful wrapping paper. Good animation/art isn't enough to save an anime with a really bad story imo...
What was the point of the never ending flying confetti in this episode? It's like JC Staff had excess animation budget left and didn't know what else to spend it on. It did look pretty though.
It would have been better with more fire. I like fire.
And one more thing - Takamiya was really lame. He didn't even have the balls to kiss Kagari and that pissed me off when he was like "I can't kiss without being married" or something - like even the strictest cultures don't think like that. Such a wuss. No character development in fact he got worse as the series progressed.
5/10 - would have been a 6 until the very last scene where that group of the most annoying characters turned up and spoiled a relatively good episode.
