So, I just finished watching this anime, and I started watching reviews and other topics related to this anime. Overall they've been pretty good, but this odd topic keeps coming up. 

Why does Elaina not show any feelings for Saya?

Yeah, not a big deal topic like the slave girl or the time travel adventure, but this one is a bit odd. People seem upset that Elaina doesn't show signs of liking Saya. I'm more on Eleaina's side, as Saya comes off a bit creepy when she sees her. I don't think Elaina hates her, but she has no romantic feelings for her.

So, do most people feel this way, or are people just mad that a ship hasn't taken off?

People are mad about this? I never noticed.
Just an avid anime watcher of 20 years, not much else I could say about myself (that I don't want to reveal, of course, just ask if you wanna know more!)

When presented with an opportunity fans immediately decide to turn shows like wandering witch into a yuri when there is next to no yuri elements in the show. It’s not the point of wandering witch it’s a show about a young travelling witch not a romance. People shouldn’t complain.

Why should she show feelings towards her?
She is beyond obnoxious, insufferable and easily the worst part of this show.

I disagree with those other people


There is no reason to be mad at this

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

The abusive manipulation at the start kind of put me off the show altogether, but that's a different story altogether.  
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Who is mad about this series? there're probably many people who are but the main topic of this discussion would probably be: some fans who are shipping a girl to a girl (probably a yuri-shipper), are mad about this not being a yuri. (Seriously?!)

I myself am a shipper (most but not all are, probably) but I won't be low enough to... you know...

Anyway, I quite enjoyed this as Elaina grows up to be something she's proud of. I'm glad this story didn't go that sexual after Saya's entry to the story as her very existence is very unsettling.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

GUYS! Even the author of the LN said (in an interview) that Saya was put in the anime in order to create some funny moments between them: Elaina was designed to be the "smartest one" and Saya to be the "ignored one because of her invasive behaviour". Elaina and Saya's Ship can't take off because of this. All the other things are bull-s**ts.

Are there people being mad about their ship not going anywhere? Crazy. And much more so when there are way better reasons to be mad about it. Like, if you're the kind of person who really can't help comparing works, how this show seemed to go for a liiiitle bit of a Kino-no-Tabi vibe, but looks just so bad in comparison (I mean, IF you are into comparing and stuff). Or how the mc is much more unlikeable than mere comic relief would justify. Or how they spend an entire episode for an advanced class in victim blaming.

Ah. I thought this topic would be about something else, but this ended up being--

Well, is it one of those series? I think Saya's one-sided crush is cute, but of course, certain people froth at the mouth because, to them, it's not real rep if it's not requited. And while I am not fond of Elaina for obvious reasons and think Saya could do better, I still love and adore her one-sided crush and think it's one of the better things in this series. Shipping them would just -- well, it would not be the positive they think, what with how Elaina's personality has major issues and it would end up being yet another yuri ship with negative implications, aka, a power embalance and a part of the pairing who may not be the attentive other that the other wants.
