| The finish is not very original, but it's cute and nice pier to see the summer festival, I would have preferred that gave a bit of time to better admire the yukata of the characters. Cute and original Fish of the earth. After this series, came to me want to put hand to the cutting and sewing and still devote myself more to gardening, I wish a beautiful house with a garden! I hope they do not end here the adventures of Makoto and his companions. I love the series with witches, and this coupled with the slice of life was perfect. Excellent work of the JC Staff, designs and style, were beautiful, even the animations were very good as not to mention the scenery, really fascinating and well done. Not far away is the CG of the Whale flying, really well done. For now, my vote is 8.30/10 |
 |
| I can't add much to what most others have posted. AOTS for me. These kinds of shows - Non Non Biyori, Aria, etc - speak to something in my soul. It's the world I wish I could live in. I really hope there is another season of Flying Witch. 10/10 for me. I can't think of anything I did not like about it. Poor dad, he was hungry, but the women of the house were too busy. |
| Dat Eartfishes lol, alcoholism everywhere lol, still nice ending of this show, nice, funny, relaxing (unlike Tanaka-kun's boringness) and the biggest plus = Witches!!! 7/10 for whole show |
 |
| that was a nice and heartwarming series |
 |
| And the series ends. Makoto has a nice talent in making robes. Chinatsu looking cute in that red robe. The earth fish were cute. JC Staff has done a great work with this. They clearly put a good budget seeing how the good designs, animation and background art is. All the characters are likable and entertaining in their own way. This SOL anime is a gem this season. Soothing, relaxing, funny, and enjoyable. It just sucks you in to their world and temporary forget about the real life. I love relaxing SOL anime. They help you relax, and calm from a stressful day, tired, a bad mood, etc. It just slowly sucks out all the negative feelings you have and leaves you in a good feeling after watching. Its sad to see this series gone. Time sure flies. Hoping Japanese fans will love this too and convince JC Staff to make another season. Thankfully there's Amanchu next season. Adapted from a manga and whose author created the masterpiece Aria. One of my highly anticipated series for summer. There's also quite a few more SOL for summer which I'll look into more. I'll give this a 8/10 for this lovable series. Will surely watch this again sometime. |
| Probably just me, but I think the series was too SoL-ey.... Like, it felt lame when Chinatsu commanded her brother to turn into a doughnut, and he started acting like... basically an idiot. Anyways, 6/10. Pretty meh series. |

| So sad that this was only 12 episodes because I could watch it endlessly. Flying Witch set out to be a laid back SOL with some light magical elements and it did it perfectly at every turn. You know you have a great cast of characters when you can have them do every day activities and still make things interesting. A super chilled and relaxing anime, I loved every single episode. 8/10 - My AotS Spring 2016 |

| It already ends and still no romance developed yet TT^TT Overall, I really enjoying this series. Hope there is a second season and they go into the romance route. 8/10 |
 |
| Oh Flying Witch, what am I gonna do without you? We had a good time, you and I, just chilling out on a Saturday afternoon. Like everyone else, Flying Witch was a AOTS easily. The story, characters, environment, animation quality and soundtrack were all spot on for a great SoL anime. It felt very much like ARIA's spiritual successor, in a way that has a relaxing environment clashed with the supernatural. I loved how relaxing it was, which was just what I needed to balance out the rest of the season's big shows. (And Flying Witch was the only show I watched that actually delivered in the end. Funny how that works out.) I hope they'll be a second season, seeing as the manga is still ongoing. The BD sales aren't super great, though. I'm just gonna go cross my fingers. 9/10 |

| i'm going to miss this anime, I always watched it as soon as I woke up. it was very refreshing and relaxing. 8/10 One said: Probably just me, but I think the series was too SoL-ey.... Like, it felt lame when Chinatsu commanded her brother to turn into a doughnut, and he started acting like... basically an idiot. Anyways, 6/10. Pretty meh series. Its supposed to be slice of life, and its considered a "healing" anime, these type of anime don't actually follow much a story, but really depends on the characters to carry out their actions. This anime just wasn't meant for you, which is why you didn't enjoy it, you really have to be in the right mood to appreciate it. |
 |
| Flying Witch still continues to amaze me as we head into the final episode on how it is able to make a 20 minute episode feel like mere seconds. Before I know it the episode is over and I'm left with a warm and fuzzy feeling. While I wish we had explored the magic side of things a bit more I am still quite satisfied with how the series went and it is definitely a great series to wind down with. Here's hoping for another season! 8/10 |
 |
| Great like all the episodes. The scene with the fishes was beautiful. I hope that a season 2 will come. Flying Witch is one of my favorite SoL. |
| this series was nice and relaxing and i ended up enjoying this series alot would honestly love a season 2 but god ima miss watching this series every sunday |
| "one step at a time" |
| Decent series but not one that will live long in the memory 7/10 |
Rayla said: I know what SoL is... I've watched quite a handful of SoL. But I'd put Flying Witch into the 'lame' category, mainly because they emphasised too much on the small stuff instead of a bigger picture. One example being that they didn't show them going to the festival and having fun. That would have been better. Instead what they wasted time on was make Chinatsu show off every little thing to her mom/dad, which felt really slow and lame. Not to mention that this anime was lacking a little comedy. The only episodes I found to be well done from a comedic point of view were episodes 2 and 7 I think. They had one scene which would make you laugh, rather than either sitting poker face or smiling throughout the whole series.One said: Probably just me, but I think the series was too SoL-ey....

This anime just wasn't meant for you, which is why you didn't enjoy it, you really have to be in the right mood to appreciate it. For me, an SoL which has light humor, lovable characters and maybe some romance attached to it would make for a great watch. I'd give Flying Witch a 6/10 for light humor & 7/10 for likeability of characters, thus an overall of 6. |

| One of the best SoL I've come across. Probably my new favorite too. It's calm, natural, cute, and adds a dash of magic and fantasy that makes it so fun to watch rather than boring. From what I've seen, definitely one of a kind. It naturally incorporates the world of magic into everyday life. I love the characters and their natural, playful interactions too. I was worried starting it because SoL with female protagonists tend to annoy or bore me in some way or another, but this was a real gem! Plus the animation is absolutely gorgeous. This is something I'll end up reading, but it would be a shame if there isn't a second season.  |

| love this ! season 2 needs to happen find it hard to not come out of each episode feeling good! only thing i could say i wish there was a bit more Witch like stuff and while i like Makoto a lot it seemed like Chinatsu had more of a focus at times in fact she got more development since she wasn't even a witch to begin with lol. 8/10 ! |
 |
| the world in flying witch is absolutely beautiful. it gives me a guild wars 2ish vibe haha 9/10 series was relaxing and something i could look forward to every week |
 |
| I watched a lot this season (a lot) but while most either wrapped itself up or is something I was already reading or just wasn't up to expectations in some way, this show is going to be the one I really miss not seeing every week. Charming and grounded, a nothing happens but everything is magical but not ridiculous kind of story, with one of the best and most convincing young child characters I've seen in as long as I can remember in Chinatsu. A whole interesting world is hinted at that a spin off would be interesting to explore (Kenny's anthropology adventures and Akane is probably the overpowered mage in an adventure manga and comes home between insane travels). The world building was just so natural and not forced at all. Story needs more Nao in it though! Her reactions to everything are priceless, would have loved for her to see the whale or the fish. Kei made for a decent older brother-cousin figure. Definitely going to pick this up reading and pray for a second season. The only thing wrong with this is there isn't more of it. |
| Probably the best episode of the entire series. It had some heartwarming moments towards the end where we learned that not just Makoto but even Akane has come to see Chinatsu and the rest as their own family. And even though Akane spent most of her time being a drunk or sprawling on the floor in the house and taking long naps like a cat, it appears the reason why she took a break from her globetrotting was to make sure her clumsy and absentminded sister was doing well. Sadly, the rest of the show sometimes felt a little too uneventful and mundane even for me. Still, I am actually going to miss this show. It's not often you get an Iyashikei anime, especially these days. It gets a 7/10 from me. Might raise the score upon rewatch. Hope it gets another season. |

| OMG the earthfish, i loved that. I feel bad for not getting into this earlier, only in the last episodes i felt like i got into it. 7/10 |
| 9/10 AOTS and so far AOTY for me (maybe tied with rokugo) chinatsu is the best |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| I don't know how I can go through my Mondays anymore without this anime. |

mozgow said: This anime was great from start to finish. I would absolutely love to see next season of this! And the reaction faces are simply brilliant! :-)  This was a good show. Will miss this and Tanaka-kun. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| Why do a nice things always end... I loved this soo much. The characters, the interactions, the atmosphere, EVERYTHING. I'm praying for a second season. Going to read the manga for sure. 10/10 |
| This need a second season !! |
I agree. Makoto's face as she saw her sister was great. It was like: I'll pretend I've never seen that. Lets fly. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Aaaaahhhhh the final episode. I know I'm gonna miss this perfectly calming and relaxing anime. The way she flies her broom is so smooth. Chito teaches how to be the best cat. Drunk Akane is awesome, like, super awesome. And earth fish are weird. A nice and cute finale to a nice and cute anime. 8/10 by me :3 I'M GOING TO MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH. HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO CALM DOWN NOW. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Man, I loved this... Watched every episode with a smile on my face. Perfect for relaxing and then go to sleep joyful. Why can't this show go on an ongoing basis? Already missing it... :'c 10/10 Makoto <3 main waifu for life. |
| I'll fade away and classify myself as obsolete! Obsolete!! |
| One of my favorite series this season. Beautiful opening, beautiful ending, cute stories, nice and understandable japanese language (I'm studying it and this series are easy to understand and listen), beautiful art, backgrounds and characters. 9/10 anime for me. |
| Beautiful series. I watched Aria before finishing up the last 3 episodes of this and it was quite on par with it imo. 9/10 Anime of the season for me. Akane and Inukai were my favorite but loved everyone one of them. |
One said: I know what SoL is... I've watched quite a handful of SoL. But I'd put Flying Witch into the 'lame' category, mainly because they emphasised too much on the small stuff instead of a bigger picture. But this is exactly what slice of life is. Flying Witch is slice of life in the purest sense of the term, a show that depicts the little delights in life with no conflict, narrative, and/or extraneous elements like romance or drama. It is one of the very few shows that can only be categorized only as SoL and nothing else, which is quite impressive in its own right. The main strength of Flying Witch is its ability to equate the magical and the mundane. For example, that sense of wonder when the characters witness the ancient flying whale is definitely present — even more so when the characters explore the ancient ruins on its back — but the show doesn't place a particularly strong focus on the phenomenon. They hop on the whale, walk around a bit, meet someone, and then that's it. They leave, and tthe whale soars away, continuing its journey through the endless skies. And the very next scene is of the characters making and eating hotcakes, which seems completely insignificant in comparison, but the amazing thing is that this mundane hotcake scene is given as much, if not more, emphasis than the majestic whale scene. While they're eating, one of the characters enthusiastically talks about the history of hotcakes in Japan, which is far more detailed than and just as interesting as the history of the flying whale. Basically, the main theme of Flying Witch is that the mundane is just as amazing as the magical. And it delivers this message effortlessly. I see that some people dislike the fact that Flying Witch didn't focus more on the magical side of its world, but I found the show far more fascinating because it didn't. |

| Nice episode, Akane is being herself and Inukai is back! And Chinatsu looked good in that red hoodie. Good ending 8/10.  |
 |
| The expected kind of final episode. Well made SOL undoubtedly, hardly a flaw within its boundaries. Art relaxing, sounds relaxing, characters relaxing, production relaxing, voice acting relaxing, good spray of comedy. Biggest problem was that the characters weren't completely endearing for me, hindered my enjoyment quite a bit. I think I would have appreciated this better if I had a little more peace of mind in real life. 6-7/10 |
| Didn't expect this to be as good as it is. It's my favourite show of the season. *Crosses fingers for season 2 |

Flying Witch fails to do that, because it was too focused on the so called 'little things that make it pleasant'. Another thing is that, although I liked some of the characters, I didn't quite grow to like all of them. They didn't really deliever with all of the characters, for example Chinatsu's big brother. He had little role to play in the whole series, especially considering the fact that he was related to the main cast. PS. More focus on magic would indeed have been a turn-off for me as well. |

| Akane really likes to drink, she is like an old man... The fish part was pretty. 7/10 |
 |
| 10/10, no doubts, no regrets. Now this is truly a 'healing' anime if I ever saw one because it healed me alright. Second favorite anime of the season behind Hero Academia, I enjoyed it all the way through and I would LOVE to see more. Now please Sentai, hurry up with that Blu-ray release :D |
| I had no idea Chito was a "she". Nice and relaxing overall. Solid art and animation all throughout. And it helps that it doesn't seem to pander to otaku, which affects my enjoyment. Debated giving it an 8, but I feel the lasting impact the show had on me isn't as strong as my initial Non Non Biyori watch, so 7/10 it is. |
