| The show ended up a mess, but the story definitely had the same kind of potential as something like Kino no Tabi, so I'm somewhat excited to see its continuation. |
| I WILL be there no matter what Best news of the year |
 |

I hope it's not a recap movie.
| @Hipo27 I doubt they would announce a recap after so many years. |
 |
| I'm happy to see these news. I've been waiting for a second season for years now but a movie sounds awesome too. I just want to see more of the greatest most perfect witch in the world |
| two 'oddball' anime get sequel announcements during one event? cool! :D https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2247770 i found S1 alot like 'Kino no Tabi' as the 1st commenter mentioned. i do doubt that Crunchy will even attempt a North American theatrical release for this movie... i don't think the show was even that popular here in NA so Crunchy probably won't think a theatrical release would net them any profit. but i do hope Crunchy does pick this movie up for streaming purposes. :D |

just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| Please don't be some fucking stupid recap like so many great series get. |
| "Well, she's flatter than a pancake" -Mimi Alpacas |
| The most logical decigion for them would be to just adapt the 4th LN volume as it is a big self-contained story and they already teased one of the main characters in the S1 ending. |

| I have read up to volume 10 and I planned to re-read them, and then I notice there are 24 volumes~ I am going to lag behind in reading again~ |
| Elaina is officially coming back with a sequel film. I've been waiting for a sequel since the first season ended. I don't really like this trend that the sequel is a movie. But hey! Elaina is back and that's all that matters |
 |
| Yay! I really enjoyed season 1 and I’m looking forward to the movie. |
