| 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. |
| I need sleep. |
Lelouch0202 said: Akane getting drunk was pretty funny as usual, Wonder what she dragged Inukai into this time XD I was quite worried when Akane showed up there... Inukai seemed to be doing well at the end, though, so can't have been anything too horrible. :D |
 |
| Damn it, Every show I liked this Spring Season (2016) had already ended, just like the others. Well, If there will ever be a sequel TV Series, I'm absolutely gonna watch it. Since I really enjoyed watching this anime, I'll give it an 8 out of 10 score overall. Lastly, just fucking why my Ayane Sakure was just a cat! She should be the main heroine!! If she wasn't here I won't watch this!!! |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| AoTS, nuff said. 10/10 |
| “Are there some unseen roles that we have unknowingly set ourselves into, dictating the rules of engagement whenever we see each other, inevitably leading to us hurting each other?” |
| First time I've seen a cat make a o.o expression Great series overall. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Great way to end the series i guess. they were still keep up with the fantasy elements and the relaxing atmosphere in this episode even tho this is the final episode. i really like it. Chinatsu with that robe looks cool imo xD and cute too xD and Chino sure talked a lot in this episode xD and that Earthfish in the end, man, that part was realyl entertaining and interesting to watch. it really looked like a fish came from the bottom of the earth. made me felt like earth, ground is actually a sea xD 9/10 from me. really enjoyable and i really want another season. it's a really good show to relax yourself in the middle of a night :D hope for another season :D and it's really unexpected that J.C Staff managed to made this relaxing show xD |

| With the show having Shounen as one of its tags, I expected some action, but the show was boring with no action. The only redeemable qualities are the look and sceneries, and the witchy stuff. If the show would have not been given the misleading false genre as Shounen, but real genre as Shoujo, I probably would have not watched it. I expected the show to be similar to an anime I like, Escha & Logy no Atelier: Tasogare no Sora no Renkinjutsushi, which has witches, alchemists, slice of life, adventures, actions, humor, pretty art and sceneries, cute villages, etc. So I'm really disappointed by Flying Wich and I hope Escha & Logy no Atelier: Tasogare no Sora no Renkinjutsushi gets a second season. |

| I feel a little guilty because the series was very well-made and Makoto is love, but I just wasn't in the mood for healing this season and didn't appreciate it the way it should be appreciated. 6/10 from me, blame my lack of daily stress. |
| I think I might've liked it even more than Non Non Biyori. 12 episodes without any action and very subtle humor and yet I haven't felt bored even for one second. I don't understand how this kind of anime works, but I love it. I hope there will be more seasons in the future. It was my favorite SoL setting and cast so far, so it won't be easy to replace them with some moeblobs ^^' |
| It was sooo nice!! Really hope there will be a second season I!!! *o* |
| Those earth fish popped out like daisies. I didn't love Flying Witch as much as I could because I wasn't attached to the characters but it was a nice and chill show. Some of the humour was a miss but was great when it nailed the comedy. I really enjoyed the casual integration of magic into everyday life. |
 |
| I really liked this one. Had a nice relaxing feel to it that I wasn't expecting. 8/10 |
 |
| Great closing episode, if whole show was like this it would be on wholly different level. Sadly, until its half, this show was really slow and not entertaining. And Kei was literally the worst character. But the second of this anime was a lot better and I grew to like it, wouldn't mind second season of it. Still, can't disregard those bad thing in earlier part. 6/10 |
| What a fun journey. Interesting world and concept. Good animation. Slice of life kinda bores me, but still... I don't regret watching it. |
| It was a relaxing journey and the final episode wrapped the series up nicely. I am, however, slightly sad to disembark from the ride, as it was probably one of the finest slice of life type series I have seen. Another season would be highly welcome. |
| Quite a heartwarming ending if you ask me :3 Really lovely slice of life in general and the suiting atmosphere sure got me each episode! All in all a pretty good anime I must say! |
 |
| This deserves a second season for sure. Lovable characters, gorgeous designs and music, and as they say, maximum comfy! 9/10 |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| For me at least this show was surprisingly delightful. It wasn't perfect but it was a pleasant mellow way to spend a half hour every week. This finale was no different delivering on big moments for all of the main and some of the supporting cast. All with a remarkably solid premise for a finale, Makoto wanders the the town trying to find a fabric store to repair her robe. I really enjoyed Nao's big scene but she was also one of my favorite characters. The big emotional center of the finale was Makoto deciding to make a robe for Chinatsu as well. It was a smart way to show how the bond has developed between the two characters over the series. And Chinatsu did look pretty cool and Red Riding Hoodesque. It's amazing how far they've come from Chinatsu being a little afraid Makoto, to happily drifting off in her lap wearing a robe she made for her. Like many I wouldn't say no to a second season but this one was pretty great on its own. I said last week I wish the show had more consistently done supernatural world building. Well we get that here, as at the very end Makoto and Akane encounter a phenomena called ground fish. They show up during festivals, like sake and rice and if you're nice they'll light up like a fireworks show for you. I couldn't help but notice once again are magical creature is just a sea animal in a place sea animals shouldn't be. But once again it was pretty well realized with some sharp cg, and it was quite an aesthetically pleasing way to end the series. Just wish we'd seen more stuff like. I'd give this one an 8/10. The lack of plot kept it from being perfect to me, but I enjoyed it immensely from start to finish. |
 |
| This anime was so enjoyable, I'll miss every single one of its characters. I hope to see them again one day. |
 |
| ground fish are such strange creatures but they also have beautiful color changing fishes that can swim on ground act like fishes when feeding and can even get drunk! Them floating was so cool! This is such a heart-warming show! 4/5. 7/10. |
 |
| Am I the only one that thinks that this anime is so relaxing, I really liked this more than was expecting, just the OST and dialog makes this so good. I don't know why I feel this way. It's...weird. |
