Meh, I wasn't feeling it too much for this episode.

Felt more like buildup and I feel like the school principal may be hiding something. Second half of this episode was better but they're still making Hazuki look weak. Mm, that cliffhanger...

Not sure how to feel.. Like, why would the principal allow someone without any magic go into a fight involving some of the strongest magic users.. I'm guessing she gets her origin back? If not then what difference is she really going to make?

(tbh I'm just hoping she doesn't sit there and cry and say 'I'm sorry' over and over again like she has in episodes past)

Figured Hazuki was going to come back. She came back running like Cinderella. Hopefully she's going to be useful now and not cry again. She looks pretty in that dress.

Why do I have such a feeling that headmistress spoke of Hazuki's mother? In any case, I like Saeko and Misa, but Schizuka is still a little annoyed, although it may be later she will be corrected by Hazuki.

So Hazuki was planning on running again but she finally made up her mind and stopped running.
One should only run if their life depended on it else try to confront the problem, problems don't get solved by running away.
Still it looks like they will face a tough situation.

Well she certainly looks like a younger version of Hazukis mother.. I mean you can see what is likely Shizukas mother and also the current headmistress - all 3 were friends though seems some bad stuff went down in general ;s

Why has it taken over 5 episodes for her to learn to fight and transform. I don't know if the pacing is slow or normal but its taking too long. Almost dropped my hero academia because the mc was weak and took to long but the only reason I haven't dropped this is because she's a girl.

It's ridiculous that the headmistress was even allowed to put 4 people into a 3-on-3 battle. Japan's team should be DQ'd the moment Hazuki jumped into the battlefield for doing a 4v3. It wouldn't even matter if she actually transformed or fought, since she obviously influenced the outcome of the 3v3 fair battle.

The fact that they didn't show one bit of the fighting has me worried. Not to mention the completely lazy low effort OP. It's screaming at me that the series has some budget problem. But I hope they are just saving the budget for later during the tournament.

Not even sure how are they going to wrap up the tournament with so little episodes left. It will either be extremely rushed or end mid-way as a cliffhanger.

I knew my girl, Hazuki, wasn't done with her magic. She's finally facing her fears and not running away or hiding herself in a book. Shizuka clearly wasn't done with her, either. Now, it is just time for our main character to become the shining princess she was destined to become.

I know that may sound weird, but I don't generally like Fairy Tale stuff, so it just came out when I did like one of them.

I love Hazuki's development, the relationship with her family goes very well and she decided to take a step forward and not run away again. That ending... a long week of waiting..........and that end card.




*I don't like to complain about scores but jeez, the score of this show really hurts. . :/

MVP = Onee-chan. That was some top tier sisterly love and a lot of effort went in to show it even though they only recently became sisters.

Can't wait to see Hazuki in action in her Cinderella outfit. She's beautiful. <3
I downloaded a soundtrack and it showed her on the cover. Unintentional self-spoiling >_<

WTF with mom and sis not being on the cast listing btw.. I'm curious who voices them....

If only the art wasn't an abomination this episode would have been perfect!
The OST really hits me!
I teared-up a bit when she really wants to go back! for sure her getting back at the Hexenntch would definitely make a difference!
5/5.

I am pretty sure she will break the seal on her Oirigin herself, heck it might be the first time she properly uses it and becomes super op in the process lol. Otherwise I can't see them winning the pre-match.

She basically just sent her to her death

So obviously next episode will be plot convenience galore

5 episodes in and there really isn't much substance to this series... yet atleast. I still have hope.
Hazuki isn't the worst character, but we've had a few scenes where she could have shown SOME sort of strength. I know it's supposed to be some big reveal next ep, but man, I don't have the same belief as the characters that just because she has the Cinderella Origin means that she's automatically going to be amazing. We should be shown something at least :T

OMG, Headmaster is age 40

She looked so young...

___ ___ ___

Also, the plot about Hazuki giving up and returning is actually nice.

Since it's based on Cinderella giving up on going to the dance (tournament), but got the courage and dress from her Fairy Godmother (Mom, and Headmaster).

___ ___ ___

Also Also, LOL @ Hazuki falling down right on top of everyone... (normally she should just appear on land like the other girls)

BTW, I kinda like the Crane's dress and style, it looks nice.

well this ep... if anything finally Hazuki is finally deciding to take things more serious and finally decided not to run anymore

hopefully this means she'll finally transform next ep, hopefully also i feel that the original master of the book was her mom makes sense imo


anyway looking forward to next ep as it should be interesting with alot happening i hope as next ep is the halfway point

It's kinda stupid that a good fighter like Shizuka was losing like she was nothing at all, now she will be "alive" again coz she will see Hazuki....Hazuki's mom must be the old Cinderella...

Overcomplication is hurting this a lot, they tried to force the Cinderella idea into the plot and glued over the cracks. All the christmas party and dress shit felt really unnatural, too western a thing, it should be real life and it isn't

Ok, so I just jumped in starting from episode 5, and I'm quite liking this show. The characters are interesting and I'm intrigued to learn what happened to make protagonist girl leave.

Not sure whether I'll continue though

Headmistress looks pretty young for her age.

As expected, Hazuki is back to action. There's no way she would have given up so easily.

I kept hoping the whole episode she'd drink that memory erasing potion and just be done with it. Ever since she got involved she's been humiliated and bullied by all the other girls and it's hard to watch. She finally makes what she thinks is a friend and just by wanting to throw her a birthday party is told by said "friend" to screw off. I want her to just wipe her hands of the whole situation, she's honestly better off without all them, though I knew she would go back because the show's only half over.

I did laugh when the judge was explaining the rules and those two girls were asking each other wtf he was even talking about. Halfway through the show and I also have no idea what is going on, so at least it's not just me, even the show's own cast is confused.
