Lol magic. This series got even weirder. I mean, Ruru turned big! Lol. Just look at how happy she is to be part of the class.



I'm somewhat surprised at how well she is adapting with all this though. The girls looked cute in their yutaka, yes even you Koito. That ending though lol, fireworks.

Wow, Ruru looks like a dark elf in that human-size. Pointy ears, dark color skin. Still energetic and hilarious as before but one thing for sure is she's even cuter than Mai in Yukata Kyaa!! I said it. >_<


It almost reach the point for "Sad" ending. But still, goodbye, Ruru...


Step on a bug, literally.

Ruru's moment to shine and it was funny to see.
Tho Koito might be angry about the story that was a lie.
I wonder if we will see more of that witch granting wishes for other phantoms.

Nice epsiode! Nothing groundbreaking in terms of action or plot, but really entertaining.
And the first couple of minutes were really good. The sound design made me feel so small :)
But I'm kind of wondering where the show is going. I know it's episodic, but normally you have some kind of goal. In Cowboy Bebop we know that there's something about Spikes past. The show even starts with a flashback. Or Pokemon, where Ash wants to become the strongest trainer. But MCPW? Is there any goal the group is trying to achieve?

Well damn, Ruru cleans up pretty well human sized, though Mai was still most beautiful in her yukata. Pretty fun outing, but I woulda enjoyed it more if Ruru didn't hafta hide her identity. The schmaltzy reaction to her "death" was also unneeded. You know, tweaked a bit the plot of this episode could probably sustain an entire series, or multi-episode arc at least. Here's to hoping that random witch phantom returns! :D

I'm just glad I got to see Koito in a Yukata. She made me laugh when she gave Ruru that coffee too. "How sad!" lol.

Overall it was a decent episode. Not the best.

My favorite episode of the series tbh. I would have liked to see Ruru die, not because she's an annoying character, but because it'd have been more interesting.

The Witch Phantom's design tho! It was truly beautiful. Didn't see such a great character design in months.

Wow this was almost interesting when Ruru died but nope...she didn't die.

Honestly would've preferred if she had died since she's the most annoying character in the series.

This is pretty much a summary of how I felt about this episode, so I have nothing else to say.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

A good chapter. I guess if the phantom witch appears in others episodes?
Ramune-Lulu was... nice, nothing more that this. Too clamsy without be cute.
Was obvious that the explosion don't kill her. This is not that kind of anime.

I'd defend it tbh.
People just had too high expectations to begin with.
I bet that if this was animated by another studio, it'd have had a
postive reaction.

that witch phantom is so nice tho....grating people phantom's witch like that XD
Ruru with that size reminds me of Lala from To love ru tho......or maybe someone think the same thing too ?
in the end is it 1 cour or 2 cour ? split cour ?

Edit: That witch phantom design....to be HONEST! that was freaking sexy and cool design imo :D

yea people are always expecting so much....

so kyoani decided to mix it up this time by not focusing on the "story/plot" of a show

so fucking what?

so that means this can't be a good fun/cute/hot show that deserves a s2?




and for you "but in the light novel/manga" people

New Phantom, new possibilities. Magic, in other words.

I have a somewhat cliché'd feeling about this episode. Nothing wrong with that though, if they work it out correctly, which was decently done here. Decent overall.

Best. Episode. So.Far!!

Ruru got her own episode despite being anime exclusive. KyoAni showed some more independence from LN (that went into the direction I kindof dislikes (I haven't read it, waitin' for translation). I don't understand why everyone thought that Ruru died... Why would she sacrifice herself? Or maybe they forgot how fast she really is?

Yeah, and I like the girls in yukatas. They finally had different hairstyles #EkiadoxApproves

Now what I really want is for this anime to develop into they own, better path in eventual second season and to get bigger score on MAL in this way. For me, it has sooo much potential!

Let the hate train running. I liked the episode, however. This season will end without anything significant happening because it will only cover volume one of the novel with day-to-day days spent by the main characters.

I wonder how many of us will actually follow if they plan to make a sequel of this anime since volume two of the novel is polar opposite and probably would be the darkest stories adapted by KyoAni (if adapted i.e).

Well, first the team of MCs wanted to get better in kind-of -club-ranking but it looks like they forgot about it or simply aren't the worst anymore. I'm still curious when Koito will join the team and stop being solo like Kirito from SAO did. Friendship power, Koito-san!

Human sized Ruru looked so adorable. I loved her socks she was wearing, the style was certainly unique in my opinion.
I've been waiting to see a Ruru centered episode.

The ending to the episode was so troll. Haruhiko on his kness crying and Ruru casually shows up like nothing happened. He just pulls her by the hair, come on Haruhiko show a little love to Ruru, hug her at least.

I don't think KyoAni would adapt volume two since. The thought of seeing dark stories in a KyoAni show, hmm I can't picture it. Bittersweet probably.

So we as anime fans should be happy that the summary of a show has more plot and intrigue than 10 episodes of the series?
