| Beautiful episode once more. Hope we get to see more about Elias next episode. And Chise was great in this EP. |
 |
| I thought Chise and Elias won't meet as she was busy making her wand, until the mirror water moment. Beautiful! The questions that left me: The stove never on. The bird died. Why, oh why? |
 |
| kinda wish this animes story was as good as the sound and visual , ill drop this here its so boring |
| So, everyone shouting about how wonderful that singing scene was, teary eyes and all and here i am thinking it was sickly sweet and kinda silly xD. It totally felt like those singing disney moments, lol. Zelev said: I haven't been able to pinpoint it, but something about this show feels odd. Anyone else get that feeling? There's something... IKR!?!? I feel the exact same, pretty frustrating i can't quite identify it thou. Amazing visuals but not sure about the rest. |

Inugirlz said: Why interpret it as if he lied?Was there some deeper meaning to the fact the fireplace wasn't lit? (Because he told her it was cold despite the fact it was on...) Am I reading too much into this? I don't think I am, why else would they show it unlit at the end? It's in the other way round, he says it's cold without her even though it's summer and he has the fire on. Then after they speak, there is no fire, meaning he no longer needs it after talking to her. |

That could be one interpretation, but I think the other one is more likely simply because 1) I feel like they would've shown him specifically turning it off if he just decided he didn't need it anymore --instead of just showing the dead fireplace (plus there's no signs it was recently blown out, no embers) and 2) they stopped the peaceful music and then cut to the ominous scene of Silkie burying the bird then the very last scene we see is another dark, SILENT, scene of Elias' back and then the empty fireplace. I feel like that last scene would've been more upbeat if the meaning was something heartwarming like your suggestion. ALSO, watching a few scenes again, when he was talking to her through the mirror there was no background light that might have come off from the fireplace. The room was dark and the only light seemed to come from the bluish hue of the mirror. Plus we couldn't hear any crackling of the flames, but we did hear them in the beginning when the light was on and Silkie was in the room with him (actually we even have a view that's showed the flames in the corner crackling). Silkie never turned it off when she left the room so this leads me to believe that after she left Elias was upset and blew it out himself. |

Yes, the floor looks like stone instead of hardwood/carpet and there seems to be vines or some kind of greenery in the background. So a different room is likely. Why mention the fireplace then... eh Elias is probably a nut xD Still love him tho |

I don't think it would've fitted with the tone of the rest of the episode, that was way more somber in Ellias' end. And doing so in one shot still gets the point across. |

| Elias ate humans in the past... Lindel's song was so beautiful! |
 |
| More Lindel this episode, yes <3 I suport Elias/Chise more every episode |
| Although i've seen this part of the story way before in the manga. I can't help but feel warm and fuzzy. Their story is somehow heartwarmig anf fluffy at times. It's nice to see both Elias and Chise express their emotions. |

| Another good episode, with some more pretty scenery and funny moments. |
 |
| Nice to see them tie in the OVA episodes a bit there. Uhh...did I just see Silky burying a dead bird there? Like, the bird that was being used to talk to Elias about Chise? |
| Another episode that is top notch on visuals and is as expected very beautiful! especially the particles and sparkles! lolz 5/5. |
 |
| Elias eats persons!!! interesting, but for Chise not matter!!! |
NihilisticLoner said: I'm either going to drop this anime, or put it on hold. I'm sorry. I've been trying to like this anime genuinely, but I can't. For some reason, the dramatic magical seasons rub me the wrong way: I HATE the music score used, I hate how hard the anime tries to shove into your face on how magical it is. I can't help but think that maybe I just feel this way because I'm watching it weekly. I dunno. I just binged these 11 episodes so nope, it's not because you watched it weekly. I feel like the show's really gunning for its magic/visuals to carry it while the rest just falls flat. The romance too but I'm not a fan of either of the two characters so it's a miss for me. |

| Great episode, intersting backstory |
 |
| This is probably the most beautiful episode of Mahoutsukai no Yome. With Lindel being "little" Elias' mentor and legit taking care of him. Lindel telling stories about being with Elias, and when Lindel started singing while those elves were dancing with Chise then that scene between Elias and Chise. Ohmygod. That freaking creature in the lake or whatever is that body of water was so majestic. Was it Lindel's seiyuu who's singing? ;-; I'm in love with that song and voice. ;-; 5/5. ;-; |

| "Did I look tasty?" ...That's the line I will remember from this anime. Beautiful as always and I like the setting of this show but I don't care at all about the relationship between Chise and Elias :/ |
I'm just gonna put this right here... |
 |
| I will never tire of praising this great anime, the animation, scripts, music and characters are so well developed that each episode is a delight to all senses. A job with dedication, care, commitment and most importantly, love, gives rise to excellent works that without a doubt must be successful. Mahoutsukai no Yome has everything mentioned above and more, giving life to scenes like this:     5/5 |

| Shite song Really pretty but maybe a little um, frustrating? |
| More beautiful scenes with beautiful music, it's nice to have one of these episodes every now and then to even out the series. |
  ~ |
| What a beautiful episode. Such a warm conversation between Elias and Chise. I think I'm starting to fall in love with this show. I don't like the ominous atmosphere from Elias' side of things, though :( |
| Another great episode. We get more of Elias backstory. The second half was just beautiful with the singing and the scenery. Loved the scene with Chise's and Elias' conversation. |
 |
| One of the best episodes so far. The Music is something really special. |
| The way Elias acts is so adorable |
| as much as I like the two main characters of the show. I have really an issue to get a feel for the magic in this world. It still feels kind of ambiguous. It feels like they are putting a lot of focus on Elias and Chise, which is not bad but than they maybe have to be more efficient with the world building. Maybe I am just missing an overall arc to this. |
| Love the night scene with all those flowers. It was breathtaking. So magical <3 I also loved hearing Lindel's singing ^.^ The part where Chise talked to Elias from a water mirror reflection was very nice to see ^^ Wonderful episode! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| this is feeling more and more like a shoujo anime |
| Send me Friend requests!!!! |
| Quite the lovely episode, some more backstory and character development. That ending was great! Let's see what's next. |

The magical, fairytale atmosphere is absolutely the crux of the show, which is something I really like about it. But that's... about it. I'm enjoying it... more or less, but I wish there was more of a plot, I guess? It's weird, because I adore Mushishi, and sometimes I get a similar vibe with this show. Somehow this show fails to capture the strength on an episode-to-episode level that Mushishi had. I feel it would be stronger if it was purely episodic instead this pseudo-episodic, pseudo-linear narrative it has going on now. It seems to be centered around the Elias/Chise dynamic, which I want to like more than I actually do I suppose. |
