Flying Witch

In the witches' tradition, when a practitioner turns 15, they must become independent and leave their home to study witchcraft. Makoto Kowata is one such apprentice witch who leaves her parents' home in Yokohama in pursuit of knowledge and training. Along with her companion Chito, a black cat familiar, they embark on a journey to Aomori, a region favored by witches due to its abundance of nature and affinity with magic. They begin their new life by living with Makoto's second cousins, Kei Kuramoto and his little sister Chinatsu.

While Makoto may seem to be attending high school like any other teenager, her whimsical and eccentric involvement with witchcraft sets her apart from others her age. From her encounter with an anthropomorphic dog fortune teller to the peculiar magic training she receives from her older sister Akane, Makoto's peaceful everyday life is filled with the idiosyncrasies of witchcraft that she shares with her friends and family.

I felt calm while watching this anime. The initial story is a typical story about a wizard who has just arrived in a new land, but the magic here isn't the instant magic we usually see in other anime, but rather feels like traditional magic or magic that requires preparation and certain rituals.

The storyline is relaxed and enjoyable while enjoying a meal and a warm cup of coffee. The depiction of each character and creature from the magical world, which seems close to the human world, feels like a common occurrence in this anime, and The background music and art style feel lighter.

I enjoyed watching ... this anime.

For those of you who want a calm anime about the lives of school girls with magical activities,
I recommend this anime.

Mixed Feelings

This was kind of a bit unexpected because I thought it would be a lot better but this ended up being a bit boring. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s that it’s boring. It doesn’t really go anywhere or do anything, there is little to no plot development and for a comedy, it’s not funny apart from two moments, but in general, this show is not funny, despite being labeled as a comedy. The characters are also very one dimensional and offer no opportunity for development… or to do anything even remotely interesting. This was ultimately a one cour show that came and went without ... doing anything or even making an impact.

The art and sound quality are top notch, but that is basically all the show has to offer. The entire series is lacking any conflict or extensive developments, which were far and away the best parts of the show. The sister's arrival and the magical phenomena (the mandrake, burning the hair, the black and white river) were the best parts, but overall the series came and went and literally it was just a bunch of characters in a room talking about obvious and/or dull things with almost every other sentence ending in sugoi! (amazing) or eehhhh! They would call such random things amazing. Oh you ... own a liquor store, or can spin around in a circle, or like to eat fried herbs, or can make curry? Amazing!

That dynamic definitely enhanced the feeling the show gave off of just shallow, fake characters. Everybody was too happy basically all the time, and people would get excited over weird things. Three middle school boys were literally looking at a cat in a tree and say "Amazing, that cat is so cool." That just feels dumb to me.

I only finished the show because I'm a completionist and because I wanted to see if they would actually make some type of plot with the reason she moved there (to train as a witch). Spoiler, they don't. Not well at least. So yeah, bad show
