| An interesting finale with some exploration. No matter where she goes, it always feels like Chise discovers something new even if isn't pleasant. This episode also featured Lucy although being in that ghost outfit. It was an emotional segment and I think the anime did a decent at job at protraying her personality. Finale overall is enjoyable and well rounded imo. Second cour ... October 2023 https://twitter.com/mahoyomeproject/status/1671872399565000707 |
 |
| Into the Waste Tower where Chise and her class descends from Zaccheroni's leading in the night of Hallowe'en to find plants and gems, and while Zoe and Isaac gathers minerals, Rian, Philomela and Chise go pick the plants. The stark truth is that those qualified can only see what they need to see, and nothing more for those who can't. Philomela, still stuck in the choice of her own family, chooses to keep everyone out of her problems. And while Zoe is on the search for gems, sorcerers caught him unawares, and he uses his Medusa-like Gorgon power to stop them in their tracks while getting help from Chise, while the latter is known by Zaccheroni by her true Sleigh Beggy origins, which Joseph/Cartaphilus's form from within stops him in his tracks, and not letting him have his way with her. Alice "trick or treating" Renfred, only to give him a low kick for the relationship that he had treated her like his own daughter, it's clear that his words and actions don't match, but he still makes it intentional that he's hiding something, which Alice desperately wants to find out what's going on. For Lucy, her brother Seth has been keeping her at bay for much of her recovery, and with the unintentional help from Alice for the Halloween ghost costume, breaks down of her own self-inditements and wants to focus on finding out the culprit that burned their spiders. Back from the outfield class, Principal Quillyn gets a visit from Philomela's family's head Lizbeth Sergeant who comes as the family owl bird to discuss about Philomela's voluntary withdrawal. But despite it being for the sake of her family, the principal stopped her in her tracks, which angers everyone with Isaac dragging her out before the talk could get any worse. To that effect, the College's cat-sith protectors finally show themselves as the College is closed due to urgency and the reports that Chise and the others are being targeted and under attack, to close the gap on the family owl. Season 2 (for now) feels like an incomplete story at best for one of the most masterclass shows of 2017...and not to worry, because the 2nd Cour's coming back in Fall to continue the College arc. |

| While i personally enjoyed the "season", i can also agree with the sentiment of people who found this to be very slow/barely anything happening. It's true that Chise did "awaken" new power of hers ... or something, but it also felt like a build up before something much bigger. Like a mid season rather than the next one, and even the Collage wasn't a center of it all, we almost barely even got that when they were jumping in and out of it all the time. This College in particular had a very flexible attendance rate requirements, lol. Hope the next part is better, more complete. |
 |
| Worse than S1 for sure but it wasn't bad. Feels more like an intro to S2 than anything else. 7/10. |

| Second cour starts on October 5th let's gooo!!! (There are really many sequels coming in fall huh? Not that I'm complaining 👍) Whoa, it's really cool how Joseph can swap with Chise like that. Wait, so if the other three also can see the flower does that mean that they have killed someone in the past? Dark. 13:06 Animation error? I think Alice is supposed to be talking here Yeaaahhh let's go Principal! She was badass! Whoa, well hello there Eye of Sauron. What's up with it? That's the one who has the book maybe? This had really good production quality despite not being that popular. I hope this doesn't change with the second cour in October! 9/10 |

| Pretty nice finale, so much tease. The cats weirdly reminded me of the cats from Aria or literal youkai from Natsume Yuujinchou ,so mystical i love it I'd say this first half of the season did a good job introducing the new cast,intrigues and environments, lot of subplots going on and we already got chara development for Chise and other characters, there's definitely something going on with Chise's body, maybe because she's a Sleigh Begga, maybe because she's cursed but it sure is mysterious and kind of scary. I hope we see more of the other dimension with the weird dog creatures, might have been the highlight of the season for the magical stuff for me with Elias's master's island. I didn't read the manga so i wouldn't know but i'd say from this first half they're ready to unleash some good stuff like we saw in season 1 i really hope i'm correct Also so glad the second half releases so soon like for Dr Stone, can't wait for it. Solid 7.5/10 season, a show that deserves way more attention than being so niche in my opinion. |

| Deep dark fantasies |
| Of course dapper dude was upto no good in the end. But he should've known better about Chise before in his attempts to incite her. Though the class just ended with a sort of heated argument in the end. So we're safe on that front. By the way didn't think hood guy would be THAT assertive, I mean it's in a good way but she was Philomela after all. You never know what that evil grandma of her is scheming. Though for the time being, she's been chased away and Philomela has her "friends" around her too, so we'll see how that withdrawal proposal will go. This season or more like this cour as a whole felt like a setup. No wonder we already have a continuation announced for fall. Though this not hitting the same as the first season is a truth, but like I said this was a setup to a much bigger plot. If it had been continous two cour like the first season, then maybe things would've been same if not better. |
 |
| heh I think I'm one of the fewer people if ever who thinks this season is much better than the first : ) I really enjoyed all episodes of this season, unlike the first season which was so boring imo. looking forward to the continuation! |
 |
| 2nd cour of this can’t come soon enough Seems like I’m in the minority but I thought this season was way better than s1. Yes it’s slower paced, but that gives us an opportunity to connect with and establish an intimate relationship with the new cast. I forgot most of the characters from s1, but I can tell these new members will stay with me. They all felt unique and likeable. Especially Lucy and Philomela. A lot of plot lines set up in this first four that I hope we’ll see pay off in October for the 2nd cour. Especially that Joseph and Chise twist. |

| it was ok. didn't like the last lucy scene when she was crying and made up with the brother. |
 |
| You want to take your kid home? No. There's a problem at the school... so we're going to lock the students in with it! *facepalm* |
| i hope the second part of this season is much better than the first. i was completely disappointed by this part... it didn't feel like i was watching mahoutsukai no yome at all. |
| Feels bad for Philomela, she's a nice girl. It was a pretty nice season, maybe less striking than Season 1. I'm still curious for Part 2. |
| honestly i enjoyed the first season more |
 |
| That was a pretty hype way to end the first part, I really enjoyed this season just as much as the first but with so many interesting characters introduced I think this one is my favorite so far. I hope we get to listen to another banger by JUNNA . October can't come soon enough for Magic and Science (Dr. Stone). |

| Yeah with a part 2 coming I guess it would end in a kinda random spot like that. The uni president actually turned out to be pretty cool tho. And the sketchy guy maybe wasn't quite as sketchy as I thought last episode... Anyway guess we're waiting a season for part 2 like usual. |
| I was a fan of how different this season was compared to the first one. Excited to see where we go from here. The cliffhanger is kinda painful lol |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Wasn't really enjoying this season, even though I looked forward to it. The vibe is kind of different, we got introduced to a lot of new plotlines, characters, and monsters. The worldbuilding goes on, which is good. It's just I didn't find it particularly interesting. |
  |
| The finale was one of the better episodes this season I'd say, with more suspenseful moments and the scene with the principal and Philomela's grandmother was quite a good one. A lot of character moments, with Renfred and Alice, as well as with Philomela, who continues to be mysterious as ever. Overall, I must admit that this cour was weaker than Season 1 by quite a bit, as the restricted view of this fantasy world in the College didn't feel as compelling as the world-building in the previous season. The animation and soundtrack were also inferior to the first season, though it wasn't bad by any means. The pieces are there though to make the second cour, scheduled for October this year, a more interesting ride, and I do look forward to what it brings. 7/10. |
| hmmm, i really liked the first half and gave this a 7/10 overall but tbh the second half was leaning more towards a 6 for me. really liked the op tho and visually one of the best things this season. now onto the 2nd cour in fall this year, very soon. |
 |
| Second cour in October confirmed. Was to be expected given that "Chise in college" is like a huge arc in itself. Pretty nice follow-up after a truly charming first season. Though considering what's to come, this cour really felt more like a prologue than anything else. Anyways, the setting changed for this sequel yet atmosphere and overall vibe remained as engaging as ever and I found most of the new characters introduced to be rather interesting. Hopefully, they will continue to complement Chise's journey in a positive way. 8/10 - Looking forward to October and hopefully, another JUNNA banger. |
| My favorite anime of the season excelent, they slowly introduce all new characters, for you to like them and some seinen action in the last part, the first season was diferent, the two are master piece on they own. Philomena and Lucy are the new friends of Chise, will prefer better if they try to have girls talk secretly and not with the family around. |
 |
| Didn't quite capture the gracefulness and the magic of S1, but was still a very good show, enjoyable watching Chise in a new environment. The students, the family power struggles, the conspiracies, all very interesting in their own right. Elias getting just a little annoying with his overprotectiveness and ignorance at times. I feel he should know some of this stuff by now. |
| There are too many mysteries and questions.... I can't wait for fall to come! Oh and the cats are definitely not as adorable as they look hahah, that's so cool. |
 |
| It was obvious that the goggle wearing "teacher" was up to something and he was very interested in Chise since she's a sleigh beggy, but since Joseph is a part of her, it made him think twice and give up on her for now. Hopefully he'll know his place and not do anything dodgy in the future. It was nice to see Lucy and her brother having a sweet moment of reconciliation with each other. It was awkward, sure, but it definitely helps Lucy to open up to Seth and for him to try his best to support her more in the future. =) As for Philomela, I'm glad that her fellow classmates were there to support her when her grandmother, in the form of a talking owl, arrived to ask for her withdrawal from the college, but Isaac had other ideas and took Philomela with him, with Chise and the others following closely behind. The dorm cats also showed what they were capable of since they're cat sith. Either way, it does end this episode on a cliffhanger note with the plot building more momentum. Overall, this second season is a slower burn than the first season, due to how long this arc has been and the setting in question. Visually and animation wise, it's about the same as the first season, which is good as this series does look pretty. I think it's done enough for an 8/10 and I'm glad that just like with Dr Stone, its second cour will be airing later this October as well. It would be fitting if they both air on the same day once again if possible! =D |
| Kinda sad it's not back to back like the 1st season because it's so heavy that it feels like the cour ended right after they could introduce things |
 |
| So the story of who got that book will be disclosed in the second part, I see. Not as good as the first season, certainly, and far less eventful and exciting. |

| Its very clear to me that we need moar!!!! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| I don't know about ya'lls but seeing the blonde gals familiar roll on da floor like dat was funny asf. Highlight of the episode. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| i love every aspect of this season. the pacing, the characters, everything is perfect. can't wait for more <3 |
| Squealer: My kind are neither slaves nor beasts. Judge: If you’re not beasts, then what are you? Squealer: WE ARE HUMANS!!! Watashitachi wa ningen da!!! |
| Things sure got interesting this episode. Really like how the principal handled things. The cat sith reveal was nice, those cats are lit. I'm glad nothing bad happened to Chise and group. Zoey and Chise found themselves in a bad situation but managed to get out of it by themselves. Lucy and her brother's moment was sweet. Pretty good cour, I'm glad we are getting part 2 this fall. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| Well See ya all in fall |
 |
| The OST at the end of episode 12. "Exotic station" |
