Looks like Kamitsubaki has a barrier to protect itself but they should've had better measures in case of emergencies.

This episode is still a strange one with the events going on. There's still singing so I guess that's going to be recurring trend in this show. Not sure exactly what path this anime will go but seems to still stick roots to its city.

Ok episode, but still not a big fan of the story. That "special" episode was more interesting.

Nice song btw. I liked the visuals.

The beginning felt like I missed out on something in between this episode and the last. I'm understanding more of the story slowly but a lot still alludes me.

I have no idea what's going on, but the existence of an isekai cult sent me.

So the hologram bird things are immediately pretty suspect. I dunno, a defense system that's powered by dead kids is never a great sign. Unfortunately Makana's sacrifice didn't quite carry the emotional weight I feel it was supposed to, probably because she was only really introduced this episode along with Sekai's dramatic backstory.

Once again I have this feeling of not understanding what I watch and because of that I didn't feel particularly sad about the sacrifice! Animation is beautiful and the music is pretty cool but the story is too messy for me right now!

Looks little funny that Kamitsubaki is describes as urban, high-tech metropolitan City, but most of their vehicles and public transport are outdated russian and east german vehicles from 1960.

I know that but the wasted movements of the first couple of episodes reminded me of RWBY and the animation reminded me of it just my thoughts

Having the girl we just met a couple minutes ago dissolve herself for whatever reason while Heart of Sirius plays in the background was certainly a choice. I'm sure this scene was much more powerful in whoever wrote the script for it but it ended up having potency of a wet fart. What a shame

With all that's going on in Kamitsubaki, it's clear that the witchlings have to escape to safety, and the Church of Isekai Salvation in Area 3 certainly is one area where both Sekai and her familiar Anemos grew up and held their faith altogether from being saved by the Church's people, thereby being the Witch Candidate that everyone looks up to after the current Witch has passed on. If anything, Sekai was forced by the people to utilize her power for the "greater good", which ended up being quite the burden. Moreover, the witchlings being in jeopardy if they just fiddle along, now's not the time to whittle around.

Still a lot of plotholes to account for...

There are some dark backstories and plots going on... (turning witchlings into barrier power sources)

But it's also slightly covered up by the chill serene songs they're putting out.

.

This is like a combination of some other series where people are sacrificed as power sources and the controllers (government) saying it's for "the greater good".

Also, for such an important "power source" to began with... WHY THE HELL IS IT INSIDE A RUN DOWN BARN WITH NO DEFENSES???

How many little girls have they killed because of their shitty set up?

Sounds to me like the "good" is also the "evil", so everything is "evil" since the witches also serves the "evil".

Which makes me think... who was that outside of the city under the green sun? did they control the mass fishes?

.

And... is this why they only have 5 Witchlings? (instead of possibly more)... since they been turning 10s maybe even 100s of Witchlings into power sources...

Imagine if the witchlings weren't turn into power sources, there could have been a lot more than 5 witchlings, which would make their fighting against the invaders A LOT easier.
