| At first I thought so many Elainas would be a heaven. But in the end it's original's character that makes her so awesome, so all those copies were rather boring. That ending left me really interested tho... |
| Overall this series had a chance to be great, but just felt lacking. I mean It had some really excellent episodes but that can't sadly help the weaker ones. Score - 6/10 |

| I'll be honest and risk incurring the wrath of the rabid fanboys (calm down, it's just an opinion) and say that I'm glad this is over, which is a real shame because at the start, I was really into it. It really felt like tonal whiplash week to week. Some episodes were full of yuribait hijinks, some episodes were fun and light-hearted, some episodes were dark and 3edgy5me and some were borderline horror. This show just felt like it had an identity crisis, which I can see why that's exciting for some people but for me it just didn't know what type of show it wanted to be. So, I liked some episodes, found some boring and hated some others. Also, sorry but I found Elaina very unlikeable - perhaps because I'm never going to be sucked in by waifu material but also, she was pretty annoying. Like if you compare this to similar shows, like Kino's Journey or Mushishi - those shows know exactly what tone they are going for and they have a vibe and atmosphere that matches their stories etc. I don't know. I totally get why you might like this anime. If you love Elaina then you'd probably love it. If you find her annoying then it's a bit of a slog. It wasn't bad but I didn't really like it either. 5/10 |

| 5/5 finale. So this episode basically implied thought-provoking stuff in the disguise of a goofy 'personality-split' story that previous episodes were never in chronological order and we were seeing "different" Elainas most of the times. Because from what I understood, Violent Elaina is the version of her after episode 9 tragedy that she happened to encounter BEFORE Ripper incident (episode 8, so chronologically, it should be other way around). The 3 Elainas with darkness in their hearts are probably the aftermath of dark stuff like episode 3 and 4. Other personalities look comic relief at first but it makes you wonder what happened to her to end up as a slime, or even dead once to be revived as a zombie. I said in last discussion that this show can be enjoyed by skipping dark episodes but now I take it back. They were pretty important after all, especially for Elaina's characterization. Overall, a solid 9/10 show through and through. Just alone for the fact that it gave me something entirely new on the table among norms. The ending also teased a sequel so I'll be hoping for a 2nd season too. And now for the show's biggest mystery. Why are Elainas Naruto-running? (lol) Must be part of Fran's witch training xD |
 |
| Really satisfying ending, Showing all the different versions of Elaina through different Journeys, 8/10 Ending. Probably the best ending that I could hope for this show |
| Interesting finale episode, to say the least. 16 different versions of Elaina but all on the same note by the end of the episode, that's some fitting way to end the series I reckon. Hats-off to the VA for her incredible performance this episode! And a sweet little tease for Season 2? Yes, please. I'm not going to lie, this show has been an over-the-place kind of experience with the varying episodes but it was fun nonetheless. Hence, a solid 7/10 from me. Op and the MC's antics are definitely going to linger around in my mind for a while. |

| Russian Elaina best Elaina |
  |
| What even was this finale XD This had me lolling the whole way through. 16 Elaina's... In all kinds of shapes and versions. I don't know where to start here but that was an awesome way to end the series. Protagonist Elaina is still the best! Honestly, 9/10 for the show, but since I love Elaina so much, a biased 10/10 from me. I do love that ending scene, potential S2 maybe? I definitely hope so!! |
 |
| I liked the episode a lot, but to end the season with this episode was odd. And no follow up on Elaina and her mom and Nike. So of course there has to be a season 2, however that's no guarantee, so to end the season with an episode like this, is very assumptive to think they're getting a second season. I mean hopefully they do, because the show was great. |
| And so we end with Elaina meeting Elaina x16....or was it 17? I dunno. And was that a season 2 tease with this Amnesia? It remains to be seen. Well I'm gonna go against the grain and admit this series, while technically good in art and animation and whatnot, just wasn't for me. From the very first episode with Elaina's master purposely treating her like shit to teach her a lesson at her mother's request which could have just as easily been learned in a less obnoxious way this series rubbed me the wrong way. It felt like an anthology series to an extent. This despite a cast of recurring characters like Elaina, her master, the girl obsessed with her, and that girl's master. These stories ranged from acceptable if unspectacular like the doll hair or grape crushing, to downright obnoxious as stated with episode 1 or edgy for the sake of it like the killer girl time travel a couple episodes back or whenever it was. I can't think of a single episode offhand I found particularly fantastic. To its credit this last episode was probably one of the better ones. I was genuinely amused by big tits Elaina, if only fleetingly. So the range I'm left with on the whole is from bad to mediocre. However, based on those technical merits I mentioned earlier I suppose I'll give this a 6/10. If a second season does come I'm honestly not sure if I'll watch it. I'm inclined to say no right now, but honestly it would probably come down to how bored I was at the time, and how much free time I had. |
| Odd episode to end the season. Nice callback to that earlier episode with the dolls. Imagine Love-Stricken Elaina and Saya Meets Each Other. Will the real Elaina please stand up? |
 |
| Omg, what a freaking ending for the last ep. That was funny, out of all the 15 Elaina's kind of like the cringey one xD. What a wild ride, I wish there was a season 2. |
 |
| wow really bad ending 4/10 |

| I really enjoyed this anime from start to finish. I hope that ending with Amnesia means there will be a 2nd season sometime. |

| This anime should be called "The journey of narcissistic witch" |
 |
| so this shit is finally over eh, not gonna rant too much about it all i'll say best episode was still the first one with a ton of promise before it turned into the mess of Controversies with it's russian roulette of edgy as it went on dark episodes and mostly bad goofy ones it's easy to say this show suffered a identity crisis by the end with it's tone and the writing wasn't good enough to have a deeper meaning with a lot of it's themes or rather hardly said enough which lead to a lot of discourse with not just the message but with Elaina as a character which also wont get into much because fuck her ( narcissistic her) and this finale kinda showed how much i'd prefer her having any of these over top personalities than the one we got which is none but + for now having Saya show up again not sure how a show managed to make me dislike a gay af character voiced by Kurosawa but it did 5.5/10 or just bearly a 6 because i did like a lot of the visuals at times |
 |
| Damn that would be one funny asf orgy with all those different Elaina's XD but yeah twas funny seeing how different they are and how out of character it seemed o.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. |
_Ridley_ said: The disinterested observer made sense in Kino's Journey, where Kino was a girl without a family, special powers, institutional affiliation, or a home to return to. When you're a powerful witch with influential connections and a place you belong, you're just a privileged kid taking a gap year. 4/10 That sounds more like the recepie for an remorseful edgelord unable to adapt to society and it's norms. Elaina definitely feels more like a real person where she can be apathetic when it can be cumbersome, but also can become involved, empathic and even afflicted, compared to a one tone and one dimensional character like Kino. Regarding your last line, before Covid changed our world, that was exactly what young people did in their early 20s, traveled the world to experience new places, people and culture without any responsability towards whom they met in their travels, just as Elaina did. Never heard of real people complaining about something as trivial as this. |
| Man, Elaina's VA really carried this episode. Pretty fun seeing all those Elainas, and a pretty cool fight scene happened. Overall, this was a pretty fun journey. Liked every story, and most characters were very likeable. Now, all I can hope for is a 2nd season.. |
| I will miss Elaina... hope for a second season. |
| I got dose of Elaina before bidding goodbye. Its great to see her different personalities, and that it comes down to making peace with your own self. (Honorable mention to one that love Saya-chan,haha.) The Amnesia-chan on the post credit though,looks cool. Well, all in all, I really love this series. Im gonna miss this witch. Now ,hoping for season 2. |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |
| Hilarious hahahaha I hope another season comes out please |
| . |
| Amnesia, huh? It seems that she will be quite an interesting character. Her book was named "read this when you wake up". Does she forget everything when she goes to sleep? I wonder what she will do when she thinks she is Elaina. |
 |
| I'm gonna need a doujin featuring a 17 Elaina selfcest orgy after this... Ok, 16 Elaina. I don't really need Cossack Elaina in there. It'd just get weird. Overall, this show had a lot of potential but it didn't really live up to any of it. Elaina was a great character and some fun was had but it fell way short of expectations. What could have been an S tier show is just a B tier show. I'd happily watch a second season but I won't miss it if we don't get one. |
| Well it finally ended, showing a lot of Elaina with different personalities was pretty cute. It was a good journey has a dark episode but sometimes it has a really cute episode so far it was a 8/10 for the me. |
 |
| I really did not care for the ending episode. It seemed to me to have a lot of psycho babble in it and really didn't accomplish much for the plot. 1. Loved the artwork in all the episodes 2. The way we started the series all cute and went off the rails into darker episodes was good 3. The yuri friend was just annoying as all get out... reminds me of the usual annoying little sister in other anime 4. Elaina and her parents was very nicely done... left me wanting a reunion 8/10 and throwing out the last episode as an outlier. |
 |
| AOTS for sure...and that season 2 bait lol. Seriously tho, everything about this was top tier. |
 |
| This season ended with a bang, I really loved the comedy and all the different Elainas. Edgelord Elaina was especially great. The mix of straight stupid and super dark stories was interesting and surprisngly both worked well with the setup. Overall a solid 7/10 from me. I will definitely watch Season 2 if it happens. (Amnesia possibly bait?) |
| Great episode. I'm really gonna miss this series. I'm really hoping for a season 2 |

| An unexpected gem of this season, The Journey of Elaina (Wandering Witch) never failed to impress. The characterisation was unique and interesting, and the adventure-esque storyline created a unique and wonderful atmosphere and tone through some pretty interesting worldbuilding. 7/10 |

| Some of the episodes were great but I found most of the episodes in the latter half of the anime to be boring. Still a good watch though. 6/10 |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| Kino 2017 is better and darker tbh, I'm sorry somebody has to say it This definitely had the potential but it didn't take full advantage of it, what we got mostly are yuri baits and moe SoL 5/10 |

| Tbh, I really liked this finale. Seems like a fitting end. Also, it was really interesting to know how Elaina would turn out if she had choose different paths in her life. The post credit scene kinda made me wish for a second season and to know more about Amnesia. Well I hope that we do get a second season announcement soon!! Overall a pretty enjoyable experience!! |

judekeith1220 said: I just want to ask. Elaina goes to somewhere stating that their wishes will come true and afterwards encountering many Elainas with different characteristics. Meaning to say that was connected to what her wish was? And in what context? And who is Amnesia? Sorry, maybe I didn't understand the last episode fully, hooe you'll guide me and sorry for the wrong grammar. Hehe. Well Elaina's actual wish was to find out how she would have turned out if she had made some different choices in her life. So all those Elaina's there were actually what she would have been if she had followed a different path in her journey. And about Amnesia, she's probably a character in the Light Novel who Elaina will meet somewhere in the future and travel with her. |

The anime tries to give moral compass but some episode give tons of inconsistencies or nothing about it. Yuri bait is an absolute mess, almost like a fanservice at this point similar of how LN describe it and I felt like Saya relation with Elaina barely have a point lol. |
