| what a woman of wisdom, I really like Rahabs character, and her design live up to my expectation water camouflage and their fast travel was amusing to watch Looing forward for the second half of Elias backstory. |
 |
| Another good episode, and I really like how were getting to see elias's past now and getting to know more about him. |
 |
| So Lindel is the one who discovered Elias. tiny Elias is weirdly cute! Lindel is Elias' master but Lindel also has a Master...and so on i guess... 3/5. |
 |
| So I loved this episode, because Lindel is one of the best characters IMO. The character designs, and most aspects of the series, are so well thought out; Lindel takes after the Sámi people and it's kinda rad to see this (and my) culture used as an inspiration in a manga/anime, especially a culture/ethnic group most people don't even know exist. Bravo to Kore Yamazaki, and also bravo to the animators and direction for getting al the little details correct down to the colors for Sámi clothing, and the color of sacred reindeer. Can't wait for more! |
| I just love how this series teases so many of the characters as being evil, like Lindel and especially Elias, but they never give in. Everytime I see an episode, I feel so on edge. And now with Elias' backstory, wow. He might have been a human who got in black magic. That is incredibly interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing if and how he gains his memories back from before he was walking. |
  |
| Chibi Elias was really cute! It was nice to see some backstory although it didn't answer any of my questions. I wonder if Elias was indeed a human who experimented with dark magic. The mysterious vibe of the show regarding the characters' past is really intriguing. |
| god, I was bored watching this episode. A huge patch of fuck-all happening |
 |
| Was that wolf cry at the beginning the same one they used in mabinogi.. xD ? sounds identical |
| The flashback was very nice!!! |
| Elias about to get ntr'd by his daddy |
 |
| I guess it will be good to Chise to be alone for a bit. Also, it is nice to see Lindel and Elias past. |
 |
| The story continue and there are still many questions to answer, the good thing is that are many episodes left; we have a lot of time to enjoy this art... I loved the little flashback to the past of Elias. 5/5   Cute scene. |
 |
| So there's a possibility Elias was human? |
 |
| I was so intrigued by Elias' backstory that the credits started rolling before I knew it :P Elias living with and learning from Lindel is going to be fun to watch whenever we get to it :) We haven't heard much about it since Elias first told Chise, but how is he planning on keeping her alive? How much time has passed since she first met Elias? |

| A good episode. We finally get to see a bit of Elias' past. |
 |
| Falling harder for this series now, some deeper back story is due and it's finally happening. |
| Nice episode with interesting background for Elias (his story was like it was taken out of Utawarerumono, I wonder if it shares any other similiarities) but the atmosphere was as always bit ruined by those super-deformed scenes and comedy (although it wasn't much this time). I wonder if he actually sends her to a college so she can learn magic and grow up independently, at least for a time. Chise is surely overdependent, well, both of them are. And I think there is more to the story of why he wanted his own apprentice. |
| Interesting backstory I must say, really interesting development! Looking forwards to see what's next. |
 |
| When Ruth caught falling Chise from the tree <33333333 Not much happened this episode, but it's good progress on Elias' backstory C: |
| Bird talking with a speaker voice was funny Some of these fairy spirit including Elias look like Kaonashi from Spirited Away. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| I want to protecc tiny Elias. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Wow looking back into Elias' past now |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Finally we know something more substantial about Elias's past and in the meantime the narration is spent to make even new characters enter the story, I can say that I am more than satisfied with this episode. As usual the quality of the drawings is excellent and the soundtrack is catchy. The characters also prove to be very funny and funny this time. The air you breathe is excellent in terms of magic and mystery. |
 |
| Great to see Elias' backstory with Lindel, he is funny with the size of a kid xD |
 |
| Finally we get some backstory on Elias. Not gonna lie, his chibi form was kinda cute. Didn't think that dragon dude would've been his master though. |
| It's so cute how Ruth is always reminding Chise that she won't be going anywhere alone. He's such a jealous dog. Also, I ship her with him in his human form. However, I'm okay with him being an overprotective older brother type as well. Selkie is adorable and so are the other dragons. |
| 臭い- |
| I'm loving these flashbacks, they are so well done. Though I guess Elias still remains a mystery... Hmm I wonder how cool the wand will look :O |
 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. |
| Felt like another pretty relaxing episode with some nice lighthearted moments in the first half (especially the moments where Chise met one of the dragons she played with in one of the earlier episodes and got to actually experience flight with said dragon), and a little more of a serious-ish tone in the second half focusing on Lindel talking to Chise about how he met Elias and even described about how he was named Elias in the first place. Really pleasant episode (until the intense, serious cliffhanger at least), and Lindel's dub voice is impressing me too like the others. This show really has a damn good Japanese and English dubbing for it. |
| In case anyone is interested, Selkies are a mythological creature from primarily Scottish folklore. That looks like a seal, but is capable of removing their skin and become a beautiful woman. It is said that if you found the skin, the Selkie would be bound to you, until such time that it got the skin back. The Selkie in today's episode has the black eyes, flipper like hands and the love of bobbing in water of seals. But is more small and cute, rather than the elegant maiden of lore. Though interestingly, she possesses her coat meaning that the familiaral bond with Lindel must have been mutual and not by force. |
| We saw plenty of Chise's past but none of Elias, of course until this episode. He and Lindel share a long history between them, also one thing to note he made Elias his "acquaintance" and not "apprentice". |
 |
| It's kind of funny how the series seems like it keeps going on tangents, but they do somehow end up forwarding the story. Who/what Elias really is seems like something they would keep secret forever, but they are taking the time to give that information to the viewer. |
 |
| I swear that scene with Ruth, Chise and Lindel's familiar at the beginning looked like they were going on a picnic lol. Going on a picnic by riding a dragon xD especially since Silky also prepared sandwiches for them. Look like a happy family. Finally, there was a bit about Elias' past. The moment when the Master Lady gave him his name was beautiful. |
 |
| Hello Master, I want more with her. |
