| Honestly, the new OP song isn't as bad as other users here are making it out to be. Junna's OP song is better, yes, but I think after a few more listens, people will start to like the new one a little more. As for the ED song, the duet between Aiki and Akino is nicely done and right now, I slightly prefer it over the first ED song. I will admit that I might be in the minority with my opinions here, but I'm fine with that. =) I wasn't expecting Chise being transformed into the fox by the shady old guy at the end. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of this scene plays out next week. All in all, this was a pretty good episode. =) Tehqo said: so is the new opening just a recap of the prior episodes. cmon now. It's either that, or just like the first OP, they would tease, or borderline spoil, the contents for the rest of the series into the animation. Magi S2's second opening animation kind of did that thing back when it aired and fans of that show weren't impressed by the producer's choices, myself included. =/ |
| Agree with others that I wasn't a fan of reused footage in OP and overall I like the first OP better, but I am not complaining either. The episode overall was pretty good, Elias and Chise finally having some open conversations. I like how Elias finally discovered the feeling he experienced in Chise's absence. The ending was a cliffhanger full of mystery, really excited for next episode! |
| Noooo, bring back the old OP. It feels like the new OP is like a recap of what happened in the 1st cour. Jesus. Huhu. And Junna's song is just wow, so it's unbeatable. ;-; The ED was okay, though. That scene with them getting the wools from them sheeps which apparently getting the coldness from their surroundings, then there's one which is the "bringer" of the cold and is getting the warmth. Hehe. It was a very cute scene. Elias x Chise scene at the greenhouse. My heart. Just kiss already! Haha jk. :p They're so cute together, my heart almost can't take it. It seems like watching the OVA after this episode is a very good idea since this episode pretty much showed that it happened in between in this episode. Nice. Uhh, what the fuck happened to Chise? Why did she turn into a fox/wolf? What. And I wonder what that not-human was talking about with "A gift for the youngest born of those who capture and bind my people!'. Welcome back, MnY! 5/5. <3 |

| now what kind of present Ashen Eye giving to Chise? are he gonna kidnap her? judging by preview for next week, it doesn't look like that way. maybe that wolf cloak is the present for her? that Ashen Eye guy have the same eyes as Nagato, the Rinnegan. lol |
| Both OP & ED songs are quice nice... ED cuz' AKINO, but I like the Old OP a lot better than the current one... Damn dat' Cliffhanger... |

| The OP and ED are weaker than the previous ones, in my opinion. They recycled a lot of scenes too. I did love how they manage to put scenes from the ova in this episode, to let us know at what time of the timeline that happened. It was subtle and nice. |
| Redheads and kidnaps always go together Lots of recycled animation in the new op, this already bothered me in the first cour and it still feels lazy here. Let's hope they make good use of this money they are not spending. Episode was okay, nice to know more about Chise's past. |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| Good riddance to the datta hitotsu etc, it was annoying to a song skipper. Decent episode btw, dialogue felt classy again |
| Ok. FIne. Chise is fox(?) now. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| A highly anticipated episode, which leaves me very satisfied, and clarifies point by point all the doubts undermined by art in the last preview of the previous episode, hurray! Narration very serious, and usual exciting cliffhanger. Ranxomare said: Change the season, and changes the OP and Ed... I prefer the before!! I agree in full, not even I like them. :( |
 |
| The new theme songs are weak but it's kind of expected after the perfection of the first cour. I wish they'd make dolls of the fluffy youkai instead of porgs. |
 |
| That intro before the OP was delicious! Chise looked like a badass in that robe and was that Elias´s dragon form?! Hype! That cliffhanger though. |
I witnessed a loli spill from a cartridge and somehow retained my sanity. |
| Narratively this episode was fine... but I have a serious problem with the storyboard execution, at least in the first half... it's just weird, the pacing was off and wherein the first twelve episodes the pregnant pauses were done to great dramatic effect with good emotional build up, this episode fell flat in a lot of scenes. Also, Chise's disappearing wand was using video game mechanic of "Oh, I keep under my sweater." But, then the second half of the episode was back up to the usual excellence, so overall an OK episode. I remember the chapter in the manga for the first half being much more poignant and made Elias more sympathetic in his desire to wipe her mind, while here it did not have that sense of drama. Eh... nitpicky... I am eager to see the next episode though! Hope they do not try to rush too much. |
| Good episode! Chise teaching Elias about human things and as well as Elias, teaching Chise mahou! The heck!? did Chise polymorph into a fox!? Great OP by May'n and awesome ED by AIKI & AKINO from bless4! 5/5. |
 |
| They don't want to spoil much about this new arc, OP are all made with scenes of the first 12 episodes. |
 |
| Fuck, there goes the ED. It was 10 times better than this new one :( |
 |
| I recommend watching Mahoutsukai no Yome's OVA 01-03 right after this episode. It just fits so snugly! I had not watched it before even though it was written as a "prequel" in MAL... However if you watch the OVA RIGHT NOW, everything fits perfectly. It was amazing. The OVA looks beautiful. I absolutely recommend watching the OVA at episode 13. |
 |
| Oh wow, new opening. Not really a fan, but okay. The new ending is good tho. I love the moments between Elias & Chise. |
| Saw this episode connect a bit with the ova, but was thrown for a loop with chise being turned into a fox. Beautiful fox though. |
 |
| I know the first OP used clips from the show, but this new OP feels like 95% clips. And at least the song in the first OP was really good; this one is just okay for now. ED song was good though. I know Elias let Chise get herself in trouble a few times at the beginning, but at this point, he's lucky she's still alive! It's getting redundant >< Other than that, I love the atmosphere of this show and watching Chise's and Elias' relationship grow. I know this post is mostly negative, but overall, I still really enjoyed this episode :P |
| :0 I love the sheep bugs :) I would so by a plushie of one of them! Ashen Eye turns her into a Fox... uhhhh |

| I liked better the first OP, it was more magical, this one is more shounen-show like. |

| "This voice is May'n, am I hearing it wrong?" is what I thought when I first hear the new opening, and looks like I'm right about it. It's not like I hate May'n in particular but in contrast with the last opening, the solemness of the opening really lessen a lot. The visual seems like a random AMV pasted with the song. It didn't matched the song in general. I'm pretty disappointed with the new opening. The episode itself is pretty nice. Though I noticed some dialogs was cut down from the original manga though it's not really important in the first place. |

| Nothing too much happened up until that ending, damn. Decent start to the second half. Nice new OP and ED. |
  |
| nooo the old op was soo much better :C |
| The frozen mosquito the best of this episode!!! |
| I absolutely adore Elias and this episode reminded me of why after a (albeit brief) break from him. The scene in witch he tries to delete Chise's memories is a good follow up to his previous thought on the matter, and watching him try and understand emotions as humans feel them is very endearing for some reason. I like that they are finally making use the stone amulet (that it's supposed to let you see fairies on Irish lore, I think). And that cliffhanger the end...I was not expecting that. |
| just watched this episode and i already miss the old OP/ED :((((( |
| A nice relaxing episode. That ending, Chise was turned into a fox. Like the new ED though I still prefer the old OP & ED. |
 |
| STOP REUSING ANIMATION FOR THE OPENING YOU JERKS Gosh though, I love Elias and Chise so much. "I'm glad I bought you" ah yes the pinnacle of romantic lines right there I really like how they wove in where the OVA takes place. |

| Not fan of new OP and ED, pretty forgettable songs. But I liked the intimate conversation Chise and Elias had, that was really well done. And the drama towards the end was also interesting although it's probably yet another fake cliffhanger that would get resolved instantly in the next episode. |
| Preferred the previous OP and ED but these are still pretty good as well. Interesting episode once again as well. That ending was especially interesting. Really wonder what will happen next! |
 |
| Chise is certainly doing a lot of shapeshifting lately. First a phoenix, now a fox. That's, like... two more times than I've shapeshifted the last few months. Those wooly bugs are ULTRA MEGA KAWAII DESU. New OP and ED are trash compared to the last two. |

| Well damn. Doesn't Chise look quite.............................FOXY? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) xDDD I didn't notice it before until this episode when Elias was about to erase her memory about his past, but it looks like Chise made herself a matching wand set with Elias. How sweet :') And all these sheep bugs make Silky complete as Little Bo Peep, hahaha ^.^ cute. |

| I finally know the name of the cutest creatures in the show. Halfway through the series and Chise still falls unconscious. Mukokuseki acknowledged |
