| The episode was colorful at first but got dark suddenly. Elaina is a wandering traveler so she wouldn't barge into someone else's life what I like. Poor Nino and that bastard old guy. |

If you have to cope with an MC that decides to do something as "being a sadist" i dont even know man, I think your trying to make up some random shit to cope with what you expected.Wait, this is basically just Kino no Tabi but with magic...? Then why is it so popula...... *Cute Sadistic MC* Oh..... Okay then. |

| That went quite dark at the end and I don't dislike it. Wonder if we will every find out what happened to Nino, for now we can only assume. I do hope for at least 1 continuation with 2 open endings Also, I like it when Elaine doesn't meddle too much with other people business, for the better. |
 |
| Who would win: A genius witch or a plant that pretends to be a cute girl? How Elaina was able to be tricked like that is beyond me. |
| This episode... was hella dark. |
| It took me 30 mins just to find a forum avatar lmao. |
| Ah, the other side of Elaina's travel story. Its not a light hearted story one, right now. But, its kinda sad and broken my heart with a two separated routes of them, somehow, that led into the same way: The ironic behind the happiness. Its surely gave a chilling moments, in a short glance. After then, you realized quickly that its not certainly right. There were a hidden darkness beyond it. So, yeah, the end must be easy to predict. Elaina, just passed them by like that was surprisingly great. Its understandable. She was not the kind of witch that wanted to help them all in a long way until its resolved. She was a traveller afterall. Except the previous event, that was kind of special for her. Because, yeah, its special, for the reason of why she needed to stay, until its people. So, yeah, this was the true journey she must realized. The true face of the worlds that her story became real in fast. A hit and run method, and told the story within it, just surely a unique attempt to me. Once again, Majo no Tabitabi, never miss a chance to amazed me. |

| Not everything in life is always happy and this episode shows this, Elaina isn't a hero, she is just a traveler. That's why she didn't do something in any of both stories, I don't get why people think she is obliged to do something. Not because you are doing something for someone else means that is correct, such a wonderful advice. |

MrAwesome2018 said: Nino came out of the fat bastard's room still getting dressed... If no one told me this I wouldn't be thinking much about what happened, but now that someone pointed it out, my mind is in shambles. I'm basically forcing myself to think that Nino was just adjusting her poorly-tied clothes, but because she tried to fix it up more after Elaina saw her... I could just cringe in mixed feelings of anger, disappointment, and confusion. |
| This episode was unexpectedly dark compared to what we've seen so far. I kinda liked that tone. And what I like even more is Elaina's character. Her attitude is a breath of fresh air after all self proclaimed heroes. She is a realist with a smug aura, and I love it. As for Elaina not doing anything about Nino... what was she supposed to do? For all we know, slavery might be perfectly legal there. We also don't know anything about her power compared to the rest of the world. Realistically thinking, she'd end up attacking innocent citizen (after being invited to his home for dinner!) then quickly get caught and punished for that. And she never even inspired to be hero. Being aware of her own limitations doesn't mean she isn't good person. |

| So you have a super dangerous flower field by the town and when someone goes missing you don't even bother to check it? Nor do you burn it down? What the hell was that? Then when someone tells you someone is in trouble you don't even mention it or help, but go back the next day to loot the body? Seriously WTF was with that. That has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever watched. |
| Elaina, I liked you for 2 episodes, but now I hate you :,c |
| Rather than complaining about Elaina's action, I am more concerned on the directing of the episode. They crammed and rushed two plots in one episode. The manga did the flower story better even if it still left a bad taste. |
| Damn these stories were really cruel... I was expecting this to be a lighthearted show, but I guess we're in for a more colorful scale of emotions. |
   |
| I suspected it could go dark after the time-skip in the first episode to make Elania 18. Well, it was quite interesting, although somewhat unfinished. But if the story with Nino feels bittersweet and I wouldn't want to know the ending either, the story with flowers is just... a complete mystery. Like, what was that even for. |

MrAwesome2018 said: Nino came out of the fat bastard's room still getting dressed... woah i didnt notice that at all. pretty dumb on my part lol |
| Ok, I kinda get why she could not do anything in the second story: if slavery is legal in this country, the NTR-guy (he cucked his own son if I got it right) did nothing illegal. But in the first one - why didn't she burn this flower field? Yeah, it looks pretty, but it is dangerous and noone would be offended if it burned. |
| That was...dark. I guess episodes like this are bound to happen given how Elaina thinks logically and realistically. Also, the show is about Elaina's journey being a coming of age for her as she learns what the world is like. If the flower field is poisonous, why not send mages with fire magic and destroy it? That would have prevented the horde of "undead" from marching on the city. |
 |
| I'm not sure what to think about this show after this episode. Elaina is so detached and don't seem to care at all and I don't like it. |
| This Violet Evergarden witch style with a different type of story and plot but the journey topic is implemented in both shows. Personally this episode wasn't as great as last episode however not to say that it was horrible. The bottle of happiness was a great touch to this episode it gave off a caring and heartwarming vibe. I wish all fat characters would just go away, Nino's innocent..........don't hurt her...........please. Good episode :) |

Hamtaro42 said: Burning down a field would ruin nature, what right do we humans have to just go destroy nature even if it's dangerous." Ruining nature by burning some agressive man-eating weed? Notice, there were no other plants on that field, cause this flower clearly does not alloy the "nature" you are so concerned about to grow anything there. So how "nature" will be harmed if this land gets reclaimed? Hell, even human existance conflicts with nature, cause world around us is pretty hostile, even without man-eating flowers. If MC was a weed herself - I would get it why she did noting. But she is a human, and she has no empathy for other humans cause "flowers are pretty"? That's straight up psycho, sorry. |
| Is it really that weird when Elaina doesn't help the people with the whole plant situation? In the previous episode she only helped that apprentice witch girl out because she lost her brooch and needed it to keep traveling around, I don't think she was ever someone to involve herself in other people's affairs like that. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |

Well, it is a question of required effords, time and danger. Elaina is immune to flowers, she is a genius witch with lots of firepower, so raining a bit of napalm to at least contain the field would require not that much of an efford. Also the guy who got eaten got there only because of the flowers she brought there, so she is the one who led him to his demise - and yet she shows no emotions and does nothing. |
| Dat happiness flex was cruel af, ignorance can be bliss after all. And as others have already mentioned, the Kino vibes were strong in this episode, even tho, I think most Kino storys had definitely more subletely and finesse. Still my favorite episode so far, hope we get more of thatand some guro doujin featuring Nino |
