LOL, what a cute Kagari doll. It's a mini Kagari~

Decent action with Kagari I guess. She sure kicked some ass there. I kinda feel sorry that delinquent there this episode. Looks like Takamura might of just gotten more badass too.

That's Kagari doll was cure.

Even without using magic, Kagari was still good at combat.

Good thing that Takamiya made a contract, so the magic can be used again.

It's actually getting interesting, the explanations brought this episode open several possibilities... I could be overthinking though.

Anyway, fail witches against someone named Nietzche doesn't sound hopeful. (Ok, it's Kasumi vs Nietzche, still not looking good)

Chronoir's idea of torture is brutal XD

The city burns, bombs were set off. Meanwhile, Kazane is in her cell making a Kagari doll. Brilliant XD!

I'm likely weekend so far, she's was pretty clever there to use normal bombs. Not a big fan of this "contract" stuff. Just like that everyone can use magic again? But hey, maybe he'll be less useless now.

So, it looks like Weekend has an accomplice, I'm guessing that it's probably a workshop witch who switched sides or a tower witch who infiltrated the workshop.

It's monday and they are already talking about the weekend, the slackers...

In any case when will Takamiya finally grow some balls his behaviour is just annoying.
On the other hand it makes Ayaka shine out a lot more and her character is just great really like that blunt nature of hers.
Tanpopo being ordered around is funny to watch especially when it's done by Kasumi she seems so forceful.

Ouch! Quite the head butt at the end XD Let's see Kagari vs Weekend now ^^

Weekend is pretty good as a villain. She doesn't rely on her magic at all.

Kagari's flying knee was OP XD

Nice to see Honoka making a contract. I just love it when those marks appear on his face. He looks BA with them.

So the boy made the contact and now everyone can use magic again. The only down side is that the boy uses too much of his power and in the end ends up putting his life in danger.

Yea, I liked it too. I think you are right, he is putting his life in danger. I am really surprised that I have hung in this long, I don't usually make it to the second episode of a Harem Anime. This one has so many things going on I got caught up.

So Takamiya is officially a witch. That's great, I really wanna see how he'll be powerful.

Was it Tanpopo getting her hair cut? Naaaaan :(

It was much slowly paced than the previous episodes, but I get we'll have a lot of action next episode.

5/5

Episode decent, you lose in comedy, but the story is quite interesting and serious, although at times a little easier to understand.
Plot discrete, context becomes serious and the atmosphere is tense, but do not miss a moment of lightness, as on the occasion of questioning by Chronoir pity we are already at the end.
Drawings and discrete animations, CG a bit awkward; oh well! ^ _ ^
Interesting that there is still some new characters to discover, soon! : D

Im stunned that Kazane, a Witch of immense power who enjoys torturing her enemies, can have such a ... cute... hobby.

That punch from Rinon to Weekend mustve hurt and goddamn is Weekend vicious to strap damned bombs to fellow Witches. Cant wait to see the group behind this all and their motive, and of course, their relationship with Evermillion.

So, last week we learn that the town is protected by a "contract", a powerful witch uses their own power to keep the town safe. I said then, that this sounds more like a scapegoat than an actual plot device. We see the power of the "contract" get taken down, because Kazane is powerful enough to make a contract with an entire town, protect it from every bit of magical stuff that's happened so far, and not even break a sweat. The whole town get's blown away at once, and it only puts her down for a week, so she spends that time making Kagari dolls.

So, the very next episode, this week's episode. All of that "contract" stuff happened in the previous episode, and as we all know that's all it takes to explain everything, make sense of everything, resolve everything, and move on to the next problem. So, Takamiya makes his own temporary "contract" and the town is safe again and the Workshop Witches can use magic again. The scapegoat put into to explain away so many things effectively becomes useless again, the next episode after it shows up.

Weekend allows herself to be captured, goes suicide bomber, but somehow manages to survive blowing her body up, and says that everything is part of her plan. Sounds like same BS that Aizen pulled in Bleach, no matter what you did he'd shrug it off and announce that he planned it all that way. This is not good storytelling, this is cheap and is really sucking the enjoyment out of this series. This series started off with so much potential, I thought it would be one of the best of the season.

Overall, I'll give this episode 4/10
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

Kagari's plan is decent enough to deal with the current mess.

Weekend is playing dirty by sending those witches there; attached with bombs..

Kazane makes some cute little dolls! :)

Gibraltaar vs. Kagari was awesome! Defeating just by applying a flying knee kick. Nothing less to expect from Kagiri. :)

Chronoire favorite meal is powerful witches? XD

Kagiri and Takamiya reaches the Workshop's scared ground to make a contract with the town..

For once, Takamiya is being useful; giving them their magic power back. :)

Weekend is 'captured'.. & escapes using her bombs..

Takamiya was actually awesome; trying to save his friends..
That headbutt was strong. XD

Kagiri vs. Weekend, incoming!

You serious? You think Kasumi, Ayaka, Tanpoco etc. look like men? Just because they don't like they are 10 years old like those characters form those lame moe girl high school anime like K-On, Lucky Star etc. doesn't mean they look like men.

It wasn't Tanpopo-chan, it was that other wizard who was using the golem magic.
