| Just what I needed. I'm already hooked. Looks like Majo no Tabitabi will be this season's gem |
 |
| I'm quite impressed so far. Really liking the design of the world and characters so far, and I'm quite interested to see what direction this show takes. |
 |
| The animation is very pretty, the colors and the girls are all beautiful even the background characters. Story-wise it's okay, nothing much has happened other than her training. Her dad was just eating good in the background, I was surprised that he even cared about his daughter leaving. Every time he was on screen, the man was stuffing his face. |
| 臭い- |
| Background art is really gorgeous and compliments the foreground and the anime. Have a little bit of high hopes that this will be a fun adventure |
| Overall I liked what I saw, I think it's got some really nice backgrounds and architecture. I am a little bother at how her parents wanted her to be knocked down a peg. I mean, it literally shows that she worked her tail off to be as good as she was for the magic exams. She studied and practiced over and over again, which lead to her great skill. I understand that she needs to learn not everything will go her way, but that was way too extreme. She wasn't born with great potential or power, she worked for it. That whole part was just really awkward. Elaina did not deserve that in the least. Sensei was really pretty, and I liked how her hat and robe had that starry sky effect. I do like stories where the character is traveling around and always headed toward the next adventure, so I think this should be a good one. |
| Everything about this first ep was nice. I'm liking the characters, art, animation, and just everything about it in general. Def looking forward to more |
| This anime is already doing better than some of what I watched last season. Like I just finished Appare-Ranman and I’ve already felt more feels watching this first episode than the entirety of Appare🤷 What I’m trying to say is that Appare-Ranman is a bad show don’t @ me |
   |
| Got to say I loved it. My main draw was when MC was first tested by the stardust witch and I had flash backs to when Dumbledore fought Voldemort at the end of the Order of the Phoenix. Its one of those witch wizard battles one never forgets after witnessing it and the fact this show envoked its memory I'm looking forward to where the show might go! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| good episode, enjoyed the fighting scenes i hope flan makes an apperance again |
| Amazing first episode. I love the visuals, but most importantly I already felt a connection with the MC. 5/5 |
 |
Akumaxd said: lol thought I was the only one who felt this wayThis gave me nostalgia vibes, but i have no idea where they come from. So far i like it, i dont really tend to judge based on only 1 ep but i think this might turn out pretty good in the end. Dont really know how well recieved the source is either. |
 |
| Man it's been a while since I've been so hooked from just 1 episode. Haven't seen anything else from C2C yet, but from the art style and animation and the way the characters were built up, I got the feeling that this is going to be one of those series created with love and passion. Idk why I expected this to be a Slice of Life show, maybe from the synopsis? But then I noticed the tags "Adventure, Fantasy" and that pretty much sums up what this is so far, because it fits very well into that category. At first I thought this is going to be "Hogwarts the anime" but it had a nice twist to it halfway through the episode. Looking forward to the next ones! |
| Great episode! This anime looks promising. Elaina is an interesting character and I really liked how everything played out. |
| |
| Ok so Ive come into this because of the blowup that is episode 3. Already had plans to watch this so its just been quickend. Now, this 3 episode watch is either gonna ruin my day or be an interesting watch. I wonder which it'll be. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| I love it! ;O;;;; I've been planning to read the manga for a while, but have been putting it off solely because I just happened to already be working on a character who is a witch who also travels. Amazingly, even in my little witch universe, witches also get little witch titles like Bunny Witch, Birthday Witch, Frosting Witch, etc. And of course, my little witch is called the Travel Witch. Har har. So of course, there's the whole "Agggh people are going to think I ripped this off" aspect, but at this point I don't care about that type of thing anymore. The thing was when I first started the project I had actually been more concerned with people feeling that the character was more like Kino (Kino's Journey) and was able to get over that, so that was no longer a problem for me. Instead I was worried my work would be influenced by whatever I'd read from the manga. But theeen the anime came out and I couldn't resist. So here I am. Tbh, my story actually is probably going to be really similar to this, and ya know what? That's fine-- especially considering that the Travel Witch is actually not the main character. (lol) I'm just to enjoy and not worry at all anymore. ouo)b I love me some witches. So back to the actual show. I think it was great! Nice visuals, random but ahhh that food looked so good, Elaina seems flawed but that's good. I'm interested in what type of world this is, and adfkdhgs I just really like witches. I don't really have any complaints. It's like a dream anime at this point! I hope it stays good! |

| A very captivating anime series, if you can judge by one episode...lol. 1. Protagonist is skilled, smart, polite..... has a goal and looks for growth 2. Side characters don't have a lot of information about them, but they are believable and are very complimentary to the story 3. Art is wonderful....the Star Dust Witch's tree home is really cool looking 4. The story isn't complicated with emotions (revenge, love, etc..) it's just a nice "journey for growth" type of story. Hooked and booked on this train! Let's see where it goes. |
 |
| What a great start! Can't believe they actually managed to put so much in a single anime, she's much older now. I feel bad for her dad tho, poor guy xD I do wonder if that witch she wants to be like is actually her mother. |

| Okay, spin.moe. I'll watch the mediocre witch cartoon. I'm not really feeling this to be honest. We aren't given a reason to care for Elaina, yet we're expected to be invested in everything that happens to her from the outset. I imagine they rushed through this episode so she can venture out into the whimsical world of Robetta, but the lack of any tension or investment nullifies the impact it was attempting to have. I also know I'm not the only one to mention this, but Elaina going from 14 to 18 in the span of one year seems like too big of an oversight for it to be real. I can see why people would enjoy a show like this, but I can't really see myself sticking with this one. I don't think this is bad per se, just not something which is worth my time. |
 |
| So far a really good adaptation and a really good first episode. It was nice to see Fran teaching Elaina the meaning of failure. Can't wait for one good ride. |
 |
| Well that was some good wholesome moment, this was a pretty interesting start. I haven't watched a fantasy anime for a while now so I might as well watched this and keep up with the seasonal anime this year. So this is all about Witches, I expect this to be quite a wholesome anime. |
 |
| The first episode, while having to cover a lot, did a really good job. I didn't expect this show to begin in this fashion, but I am not at all opposed to it. The animation looked really solid, I liked the music, and the story definitely seems promising. I am looking forward to watching the show further! I am a little worried about how the worldbuilding will be handled, but besides that I have extremely high hopes for this piece. I am glad I decided that I will try and watch a seasonal anime for once, because it definitely seems like I picked a good one. |
Have a great day!  |
| i like the stardust witch lady, she's so nice and cool uwu |
 |
| Good start though i wanted at least one more episode of training... |
| A beautiful beginning!! This first episode was really wholesome and the soundtrack was really pleasing!! |
 |
| Very Nice First episode , something inside me is telling myself that i'll really enjoy this show. The Development of Elaina within only one episode was great. Seeing her cry and Flan trying to apologize was a touching and amusing scene. A Lesson here is , though sometimes we are confident with our abilities, sometimes you gotta struggle to know that there is always room to improve on :D The fight scenes were really good too! Seeing Elaina's Dad get emotional all of a sudden was kinda funny ngl haha. |
| not even 5 minutes in and I already love this show |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| I think Nikeh is her Mother? Great first episode! |
 |
| I am not expection very much, but it was a nice start. Looking for more! |
 |
| I like the animation!! It seems promising. |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| I feel Little Witch Academia vibes with this episode. Cool action scenes, likeable protagonist and a wonderful world. I hope it doesn't end up being a boring world like Somali and the Forest Spirit. |

| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Wasn't sure what to expect...but I am liking this! Elaina's super cute and I love her GIANT HAT. :D |
  |
| I was honestly just expecting another waifu bait show. Glad to be wrong! This has some Magus Bride vibes. That said.... wow, what a trashy way to teach someone a life lesson. That made me more than a little uncomfortable. |
 |
| For a witch who appeared pretty aloof and chill, Fran sensei really didn't hold back against Elaina in the test. Good Animation, nice action and an interesting magical world, curious to see what the ashen witch is going to do next! |
 |
| What a fricken banger of a first episode. Stardust witch? Because it SOUNDS COOL! Knew we were in for something good once her wand lit up blue. Why hasn’t this gotten more recognition that it has? Am I being deceived, and that this show is suffering from the typical first-episode-is-the-best syndrome? Because as far as I’m concerned, the animation, the sound design, the characters, it’s all godly. But yes it is true that it’s too early to tell. But if first impressions are anything, I think we are in for an anime that slaps hard. |

| YO, months late here. Just finished marathoning Dr.Stone yesterday, gonna marathon this series today. (too many anime to watch, not enough RL time) And I did not expect this series to be so interesting already in just episode 1. I can already see all sorts of adventure this little witch will have. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Nice start. Good looking animation. |

| Elaina was inspired to take a journey as a fully fledged witch by all the stories. To do that she had to go through chores and tests set by the Stardust Witch Flan. Elaina was able to overcome Flan's test and a year later got the acknowledgement as a Witch from Flan. Elaina appears to be a hardworking type of character who, according to Flan, has everything but experience. Flan feels like a laidback type of person, but the fight between them showed that when she's serious, she can be deadly. Elaina definitely held her own in that fight, that's for sure. For this show, I think the backgrounds and art in general will be its best feature. I dig it. The colour palette also looks pretty decent. The animation throughout the duel was very good. |

| lol, just why witches don't want to take talented student?.. It doesn't make any sense.. Unless there are like some reasons, why they do that.. Her overcoming them is kind of an eh reason - I mean - there has to be witches, who would be alright with their student overcoming teacher.. So I don't know what's the reason here, really.. Hm, this witch says that she's different from the peaceful country's witches.. So that's the reason?.. Like, if their student would become too powerful, she could be targeted by other more hostile countries or something?.. Well, who knows.. Well, learn how to deal with failures is important.. Or with things you don't like as well.. Parents are nice to their girl in this.. I wonder, who Flan wanted to meet.. I mean.. She talked with Elaina's parents.. If that's not coincidence.. Maybe Elaina's mother was witch in the past herself, or something like that.. Well.. We probably can expect to see those less peaceful countries.. Oh boy.. |
| Flan is a good teacher. funny when Elaina was crying, saying she is not the one who liked butterlies. lol |
