I thought the first lesson was humility so that one should be responsible in using your powers, with-great-powers-comes-great-responsibilities sort of thing.

Maybe we'll see her teacher again on her travels in the future? That will be interesting.

Oh man, I felt sad for his father who was crushed that she was leaving so soon, but hey it's adventure time!
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Elaina has a beautiful character design and art style might as well follow up the cute name while you're at it

Looks like it was a generic slice of life ish kind of vibe till the action starts that caught me off guard and again might be the actual turning point of the anime if they mainly focus on battles but still off to a great start

She has a lot to learn but 4 years later she's starting her journey outside the woods and off to a great start.

That was some harsh training there. Good thing the teacher witch explained herself instead of being mean for the sake of being mean, as if being rejected from apprenticeship by every other witch for no reason wasn't depressing enough.

I was expecting to be another CGDCT like "Little Witch Academia", but it seems to be a little deeper than that. Or I hope so.

This was a pretty good introduction, and it gives me a lot of hope for what might come. There was a good mix of humor, action, and drama. So I'm optimistic.

Fran's numerous chores came off more ridiculous than anything though. I was actually laughing when she asked Elaina to get a spider from the bathroom -- amazing.

It was a decent start to the series, Elaina became a witch at the end of the episode and she is the Ashen witch, looking forward to how the series unfolds.

I give this episode 5/10.

I didn't at all know what to expect, but it turned out being quite good ! Eleina's relationship with her teacher was so sweet (too bad we won't see more of it in a while). I also truly appreciated Eleina's crying scene, because of how real it felt. I could really feel Eleina's emotionalexhaustion here.
That's a promising start ! I'll probably put it on hold though, I have too many shows in my watch list and I don't like to wait before watching an episode, but I'll definitely get back to it.
Very funny her mother told her not to be full of herself and then she end the episode by saying she is the most beautiful witch out there. LOL my question to you is she this sassy in the rest of the episodes or she plain vanilla.

This was actually better than I thought it would be, and I already have high expectation, since some people hyped.

Although, I would say this I understand what the parents were trying to do, but the way they did it was just awful. They pretty much just paid a random witch to teach their kid a lesson(a lesson that she should learn naturally), which she accomplished by beating the shit out of their kid.

Okay Thank you- I came to this thread looking for a comment acknowledging what her parents did was cruel.

I was so shocked when that happened. One month of chores and having her wishes ignored is already sucky, but beating her up that much just to say “you’re not special” is so weird to me. Elaina was even afraid she was going to be killed for a minute. There are ways to teach humility to a child without going that far. I can’t imagine paying someone to treat my kid like that. Her parents didn’t even try to just talk to her before doing this?? Like, “you’ve worked really hard and that’s great. But we’re all just people, we are equal. There is always someone stronger, smarter, or more skilled than you at something. We should learn from each other and not put each other down.” Like just off the top of my head.

I know it’s just a show but I really didn’t like that message at all. I would just talk to her and then if she ignores the lesson- yea she would end up learning it on her own. No need to go that far

(Also comically late response lol, I just watched this)

I know the lesson they were trying to teach her was that failure is real and she should be humble. But i think the most important part is learning not to be taken advantage of.

Bro it felt like this episode went by in an instant 0_0 It was pretty good though! I already love Elaina and how she worked hard to become a witch and travel the world, and man that crying scene actually kinda made my soul die a little LOL

Hope we get to see Fran again later on 😊

Her parents seem like horrible people. Sweet and supportive on the outside but more than willing to pay a stranger to abuse and demoralize her to crush her dreams and make her stay home.

I don't buy the forgiveness and heartfelt goodbyes at the end. It feels like she would have been better off striking out on her own and learning for herself how to tell when someone is deceiving her, rather than staying with people she already knew lied to her and tried to crush her dreams.

Ok I like it. Solid start. Pretty good first episode. We got some character development already. So those witches at first all slammed the door because she's too talented or what?

Tbe animation of the magic duel was damn cool for an Episode 1 fight, it being one-sideded and a pretty extreme way of teaching hardship aside.

Also really liked how the traces of Fran's house just poofed off of the tree after she left lol

I watched this anime when it was ongoing, decided to watch it again.

I liked the first episode.
The best thing here is that its not a cliched anime, it feels very fresh and new, there are no typical anime tropes, so its interesting to watch (even although im not a fan of such fairytale fantasy setting).

Characters are great, Elaina is a cutie (as a fan of 86 i just cant get rid of the thought that she looks like Alba), sensei is cute mommy and i remember there will be more cool characters later.
