| Alright, that was much better than the first episode. I got what I wanted with Takamiya being a little more assertive this time around. I'm glad he decided to learn magic, otherwise I would've been a little irked with him just being a "damsel in distress" the whole time. |
| Those witches! lol I also like the fact that those 5 have different personalities which makes this show more fun to watch. I nominate the ed as one of the best this season. I kept hearing "b*tch b*tch" along the lyrics. lol |

| Yup! It sure was much better than the first episode. I am reassured, and will follow this series. |

| At first I thought the plot to this anime was kind of lame, but as I find myself repeatedly watching bits of the second episode, I realize that it's really well-made. I love how the little witch familiars are all over the place doing their thing, fading into the background as nobody even acknowledges their existence. Speaking of fading into the background, I didn't even notice Takamiya's younger sister was even following him until the out of place cardboard box made it a little obvious. Only after intentionally looking for her did I notice that she was eavesdropping on the phone call from the stairs and following them long before the box scene. I wonder if she has any significance in the story, or if her sneaking around is just a bit of flair? And I absolutely love how strong a character Kagari is. She takes her role as Takamiya's protector so seriously that she even protects his ears from loud noises like gunshots. But she does it selflessly, and doesn't try to act like a hero, as is typical of anime where the men are protecting weak, defenseless women. And she's willing to take on Takamiya as an apprentice instead of hogging all the magical glory. She's ridiculously overpowered, and were she a man, would have a harem of women in other anime. The scene where she drops the bullets and follows through with an explosion strong enough to cause the floor to bubble and melt is awesome. It's as if she was taunting her enemies because the fact that they thought shooting at her would achieve anything was slightly irritating. With the way she's so effortlessly powerful, the fact that she chooses not to kill anyone makes her a real badass. I kind of wonder whether she lets people live because of Workshop policy or because she feels like she doesn't need to. |
| The animation is superb |
| Now if this show had me invest emotionally,it would be commendable because its fun to watch. |
 |
| I feel like one of the only people who doesn't like this show. I had to drop it half way through the 2nd episode :/ |

Some people that don't like it just give out the usual HURR DURR troll comments so I'm curious to hear an honest opinion. |

| I can't believe I'm saying this, but the biggest problem of the the anime is that it follows the manga too closely. I mean, aside of a few, very minor changes and additions, the adaptation pretty much goes panel-by-panel, doing two chapters worth at a time. The problem is, that reading two chapters takes about 10 minutes, while the episodes are about twice as long. I think this is the main reason why a lot of people may feel that the pacing is off. I won't go into details, let's just say that if they keep up this pace (and I see no reason why they wouldn't) then the next episode will be more of the same, with some explanations and then will have the "oh shit..." parts and much better paced awesomeness afterwards. Honestly, they should have got the first few chapters done with faster than this. I just hope that people won't give up on it before we get to the best parts. :/ |
| hmm okay I think :3 now finally the MC will became a witch XD looking forward with this one :3 |
Arlia said: Bang ! That was a great episode. Kinda surprising how this show isn't more popular than this. It's one of the more popular shows of the season. But if you mean the rating, yeah, I don't know why it's so low. |
| Haha, "Bang!". Pretty good episode, surprisingly. This anime might actually be good after all. And the ending is catchy. |
| Insert philosophical quote or exceptional picture here. |
| Man I am loving this series! Though how strong is Ayaka o.o?? |
| OMG they are after his white stuff!!!! xD I'm seriously enjoying too much this anime and the ED aswell :3 I just don't like how Ayaka is SO OP >_> |
| thought the first episode was ok, but was not sure if i would like it. this episode however much better. animation, voice acting, story got more interesting, love the humor (the subtle stuff like the big aligator. no mention no explanation he was just there) mc was better too in this episode he was really bland in the first episode, much better in this. witch craft works biggest surprise of this season for me |
| Was less annoying than the first episode, chick still has serious resting bitch face. 4/5 |
| The first episode looked like a slow start building up to something that could be good. The second episode dispelled this latter possibility. A shame. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| This episode was much better than the first. I probably won't drop this now. |

| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| ''BANG'' ! Kagari-san was badass as usual. Lol @ white thing :D |
 |
| I didn't notice it first episode, but the OP of this anime is pretty badass. |
 |
| So it's all because of the "white stuff", mmmm... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Still decent-ish I guess. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Really interesting episode with a lot of hints to the link between them two. Personally, I can't get enough of seeing Kagari burn everything! It's such a spectacle to behold. |
| Hehe i'm liking the imouto the most eventhough we haven seen her face yet. |
| Who was inside the cardboard box tailing the two main characters? |
| 5/5 I do not know the others, but I'm liking it in an unusual way. JC Staff is striving beyond any logic I can see, both in animation and in design, excellent! ^ _ ^ Plot and narrative that I like and even the script disappoints me. I just hope they do not overdo it in the first few episodes and then remain with the latest without anything new to present, it would be a shame! ^ ^ " For now I love it and the ending is fabulous! XD |
 |
| Am I the only one who would be fine with those hotties coming after me for my white stuff? lol |
| Kagari is too OP for her own good |
| WTF is this shit?! |
| Is it just me, or is Kagari really freaking OP. Also the tower witches are all weirdos lol. http://screencast.com/t/joQXosoL lol^ |
My Candies:     |
| Bang! The two factions of witches, the Workshop and the Tower witches are introduced. Forces of order and chaos. Not necessarily good and evil, though. I really like how nearly every little thing's got expressions and faces on it. It feels kind of rewarding to pay attention to not only the characters, but even the backgrounds too just for this sort of thing. Notice anything moving in the background? "Gotta love that intricate art style." There goes my mandatory line for Ryuu Mizunagi's art style. And man, that ED... it's... addicting. |
| Dat stalking sister... ''We want your white stuff'', so that's the direct approach I heard about :P It was pretty sick when she catched all those bullet. So now we knwo a bit more on the witches. Also, Kagari is a creepy sadist o.o |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| I am really enjoying this series so far I hope that it doesnt get boring So far even though all the Tower Witches run away after alittle beating is alittle annoying but it is still funny and they for some reason remind me of Team Rocket always failing all the time. |
 |
| This show is not for me, sadly. There were some cool moments, like the "bang!", but I really dislike how OP the main chick is. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Interesting episode, quite lovely development and action and lol that ED <3 |
 |
| Majo-gari? It's Maka & Soul's skill xD Lol.. Torture Research Club? Crisis? Crazy?? Well, that name suit for her condition pretty much xD Lol... White stuff?? She's Mario in god mode!! xD The Princess is so OP!! Lol Tanpopo the karaoke-ing master Dat ED... Still hilarious xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| what was that about giraffe necks growing longer? lol |
 #partyhard |
| moving box hmmmm..... seems legit :D |
| I hope this wont be the type of anime where they keep fighting the same people without a conclusion. Like they already fought cat ear's twice, and she just escapes. I'm just hoping that wont become a trend. Kinda of reminds me of aiki, and that shit got boring real quick. |
