| Wowee we were thrown in like no tomorrow. I really hope everything is explained in the next 2 episodes |
 |
| As we already up to spell 75, I get a feeling it will be like that time I learned The Ferengi Rules of Aquisition. Quite enjoyed it and only noticed it was a three eps one shot and not a series after coming here to comment on opening! Which seems a shame as it was looking pretty good! |

| It's a bit weird that in anime they skipped one-shot, especially since it is official introduction to the character and world of BTW and is explaining the connection between Bleach and this series.

| The publicity made at the time and the news released on this series of films had already intrigued me a lot, although it is not a classic anime that talks about witches in the strictest sense, I liked this first episode enough for how the topic was treated. The direction and the script worked although there was no originality. Speaking of drawings, animations and backgrounds, the work of those who made this anime is excellent, I almost did not think there was the "Colorido" animation studio, since the drawing style used is very different from the one it uses usually. |

| Well that was an utterly boring yet overall harmless... film? Despite being only 3 episodes and being classified as a movie, it really felt like it was meant to be a smaller part of some longer TV series. I feel that it would have worked far better as a 12 episode show as here there wasn't really much of an introduction or conclusion to the story. The characters were all ok, but they would also have worked much better with some more screen time to get to know them. Oh well, I guess it was only an hour long so it could have been much worse. |
 |
| It was really fun to watch! The animation, world building, characters and music were sooo good. This makes me excited for the future of BtW and the return on Bleach! |

| Bleach's author sure knows how to draw attractive women. Noel can step on me and make me lick that gadget shit every time she wants. So... I can't make new threads for the other two episodes, uh? Wonder why is that but well. Guess I will return once I watch the rest... if I remember to come back here, that is. ==================================================== Wait? So Balgo's infatuation for Noel isn't exactly one-sided after all? Man, that last interaction between them sure was odd. Well, already watched it but ended up being quite meh if I'm honest. Thought there would be some sort of minimal introduction regarding politics; ranks and common in-world terms but it felt like being thrown into some random episode, at the middle of a series. Skipping up, in the process, all details and explanations related to world building; character motivations and overall context. As for the story, it felt random, predictable and surprisingly uninteresting for the most part. Noel and Ninny weren't particularly remarkable as MCs and the conclusion of the whole Cinderella/Macy story-line was pretty unsatisfying to say the least. 5/10 - Only good things I can mention about this movie/set of OVAs are the really eye-catching character designs; animation and overall aesthetics of the world. Everything else felt mediocre at best. |

Yeah the future is looking very bright and I'm sure this motivated Kubo as he also went to the cinema and liked the final product very much. |
| As someone who's never seen/read Bleach this one was a shock. What's with those sassy characters, cool high tier's(that son of hero came outta nowhere) and amazing animations? Way too cool for a 3 episode movie. Hope this continues for another arc or more. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Truly epic to see this with the great animation, story premise and cool designs but also some things from bleach but a bit different like the magic and stuff which makes me hyped for the bleach anime return. Bruno Bangnyfe really gives me the cool Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez vibes. Don't know whether being a dragonclad is a curse for Balgo by being ordered to be elimated because of the problem with the dragons or a blessing to be so close with best girl Noel. Kinda curious as to why the hell even touching a dragon is forbidden. Bit sad it's so short feeling more like a setup for one heck of an incredible world and interesting characters to explore, good to know Kubo continue the manga for this. Can't wait to see possibly more in the future on Nina, cute doggo owner Balgo, Wingbind organisation, The Märchens and of course best girl Noel. |

TohaJuuko said: I feel like this needed two things: 1) Another episode worth of content at the beginning to cover the one-shot. Having not read that manga until just now, the one-shot does a lot to fill in some character motivations and world building that did not even remotely make sense otherwise. 2) A more satisfying resolution to the Marchen/Cinderella fight. 2a) The fight does very little for character development and for the character of Macy especially. For how much lead up she had in terms of emotional attachment to that dragon, and how huge of a payoff it felt like we were about to have with it climbing onto that roof to look her in the eyes, for it to just get one-shotted, and then a hard cut to days/weeks later with few major consequences, took a ton of wind out of my sails. 2b) The fight doesn't make a whole lot of technical sense, especially after we were told it'd take five clean hits to the crown. Bleach suffered from the issue of fights being ended by a huge burst of previously unknown power out of nowhere, but at least that was usually from a character who was even in the fight in the first place, and the Marchen fight manages to even one-up that in terms of Deus Ex Machina. In conclusion, this anime felt immensely stylish and had a few really fun bits of character and world building, but in its current form it feels like a series of stray thoughts with very little holding them together and I feel like Kubo needs a story editor *badly* I actually don't agree with the Märchen thing, if he can find ways how to deal with things in a way that's our of the norm and works I'm literally all here for that and I hope he continues this type of vision for everything he does actually to see just what he can create. |
| I enjoyed it, only issue I had with it is the fact it was only 3 episodes long so hopefully the manga continues in the future so there’s a chance for a full season of this since that ending was too open to leave it off there. |
 |
| Pretty cool concept and chara design. This would've be cool if it was an actual tv series rather than a movie. Good job adapting a movie from a one-shot/manga. It does spark some interest for me to read the manga. Soul Society West vs East branch when??? |
 |
Gimme more goddamnit The only big problem with this is that its way too short. Usually, it'd give it a 7 at best because, there are definitely moments that need explanations but it was such a joy and an easy watch, it feels wrong to give it lower than an 8. |
 |
| Man, I love it so much! Even though Noel gives Balgo a proper hug in the Manga, here it felt much cuter (For Anime onlys she hugged him because the order to kill him had been lifted) I really look forward to some more and we can finally confirm that this is the same Universe as the original Bleach story ("Soul Society West Branch" on that gate that Ninny wanted repaired). It will probably expand on the Marchens and the missing member of the Boss guys, then there is also the Junior guy. |

| Feels weird to be considered a movie with 3 separate short episodes. If Kubo's good at anything, it's his art. Could probably do without the danger prone male lead but I guess he can stay since Osushi is cute. Bruno's fighting style was pretty cool. Street punk graffiti style spell casting, that's a first in my book. Strangely refreshing to see the Soul Society banner and a bonus panty shot to end us off. Would be pretty cool to see a BTW reference in the upcoming Bleach anime. |
| It's just great to see Kubo's artstyle and chara design once again |
 |
| Gorgeous production value. I liked the character, and dragon designs. There was potential. But the narrative was an absolute mess. While the two leads had some fairly nice dynamics, they were rather uninteresting on their own; as were the rest of the characters. The problem is that they adapted four chapters that were the first volume (a setup) to a larger story into a movie format. This should have never been a move. They cut some of the world-building, which I understand because it was irrelevant from a movie standpoint. |
Punkuin said: They cut some of the world-building, which I understand because it was irrelevant from a movie standpoint. It would have been welcome but I understand why they don't adapt another 60+ pages to build it up as it slows it down of course. They probably saved a ton in production fees by not making it a feature length that way while from what I'm seeing they also made more by making it only have the core story. |
So, for the sake of its promising continuations, and its great arts, and beautiful designs, this suited enough at my 7/10. Thats it for me. |

| I actually really enjoyed this! It was fun to watch, and the characters were nice. Bruno was way too similar to Grimmjow which is a plus! :D Always a treat to see Kubo-sensei's art! Though I still don't get how this in the same universe as Bleach.. Would be nice to see more! 7/10 |
| Much better than manga chapters. |
 |
| CAN'T Believe this is only a movie/3ep!! Was expecting more to watch this week and find out it's not coming. Super SAD right now. Definitely wanted more! |
| the concept was good but still vivid |
 |
| It's been a long time since i've read the one-shot manga, but one thing i remember is that the male lead was absolutely annoying. This anime sequel reaffirms that my memory is indeed correct. He plays the role of a 'village idiot', causing constant trouble for everybody. I struggle to feel any kind of sympathy towards both him and Macy. If the story revolved solely around the dynamic duo of the two main witches it would have been better in my opinion. |

| now im very confident that colorido will definitely be good for bleach. that animation and visuals are v beautiful! |
 |
| Lol, that Soul Society sign reference. Tite Kubo's humor definitely translates into this anime with the comedy and character interactons. I assume the spells used from this episode is a reference to kido from Bleach as well. Surprisingly entertaining imo. They should make a full anime out of this someday if the manga gets enough chapters. |
 |
| Balgo is awful in every respect and I'm having some real difficulty understanding how this society's most prolific criminals are allowed free reign to do as they please. Bleach at least pulled the manipulation card... here there doesn't seem to be any justification at all. It's certainly engaging visually though. |

| They did show her panties on the last ep. 10/10, I am ready to fap now |
 |
| If this OVA /movie can be turned into a TV anime, it'll be so sick. The animation is top-tier, characters' design is amazing and astonishing, expected from Kubo, the story may be rly good if it was an anime since there was only lil time to insert many things, overall, it was a good experience. |

RamenIsSooooGood said: Whelp apparently no-one's made a discussion yet after so long so your welcome I guess. Thought's on the episode: this was probably the best episode out of the 3 and there were some pretty good moments too. Noel and Ninny 'defeated' Cinderalla, Balgo got released, Macy joined the team, got the panty shot from Noel at the end of the ep. Overall, this show was a good 7/10. Hopefully, they make a season 2 or somethin', or I'll just check out the manga. nope the mod just deletes this thread as you're not allowed to make more than EP1. |
