| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Very beautiful show. Only 23 minutes for the first OVA but I think Wits Studio captured the very essence of it with the main characters. Chise is also someone that I find interesting so far in particular with her ability to see spirits. Elias is portrayed well in regard to his personality and I love the world setting so far including that fantasy forest. Can't wait for the other two OVA episodes. |

| Visualy really amazingly done and so far the story looks really interesting, this will be long and painfull wait for the next 2 OVAs for next half year and 1year from now. Really hope once they are done with this 3part prequel, wit studio goes and makes the rest from the manga i believe there is or will be enough material to use for a 12ep season :) |
 |
| That was a really good and interesting first OVA. Visually appealing, and the animation was good. I'm looking forward to the other two OVAs. Stark700 said: Very beautiful show.

| Loved it but it seems like only the manga readers will REALLY be able to enjoy it. For anime only people, I highly recommend reading the manga as well :-) Wonderful episode btw |
| I enjoyed it and her childhood sucked, but doesn't everybody's, or was the just me? Sucks there is only 3 episodes. How much content is in the manga? i have yet to check myself but if it is a decent amount i will read it for sure. Also she reminds me a lot of Shirayuki which is a good thing, plus very cute! :3 |

| Fuck this was great, the hype wasn't for nothing ! |
| A beautiful looking first part, 9/10 so far! |
 |
| This was very good, especially the flashback! |
| I don't remember the part where she found the magician in the forest in the manga. Did it not happen yet in the manga? Since from reading the manga I already knew about all her past history and how Elias found her but I don't remember the magician in the forest at all. Anyone know what chapter that was from if it is out yet? |
| Everything about this episode was stunning. Was so looking forward to this and it did not disappoint. I've only read the first few chapters of the manga and I'm holding it off till there's more material since I loved everything I read. Hopefully by the end of it's 3 OVA run it'll get a full TV adaptation. |

| Love this. The flashback is sad and I'm feeling bad for Chise. Elias is lolicon :D, Chise reminds me of Natsume from Natsume Yuujinchou that can see supernatural thing and have a bad childhood. Overall, good OVA |

| I'm going to regret starting watching this given the....one flipping year air time for 3 episodes. Wonderful intro episode. Thank God an OVA was actually subbed. |
| Damn the art is gorgeous. I was expecting something i already know from the manga, but it's something entirely different and i like it that way. and Chise voice is not like i was imagining so it's kinda feel funny lol. I think this Ova is a bit hard for newcomers who haven't read the manga. |
 |
| That was beautiful! |
| Chise's appearence reminds me Shirayuki from other anime. Sad that this going to have only 3 OVAs, and 1 YEAR to watch tem all. ;( |
 |
| It is a shame that crap such as RElife has 100K+ members while this flies by sort of under the radar. I think there will be some word-of-mouth movement though. |
 |
| First of all, I was waiting for this anime for a long time. Secondly, after watching the first OVA all I can say is WORTH IT! The animation was amazing and brilliant, the characters were well developed especially Chise (like damn what an awful childhood). The story is very interesting seems like it will span her entire past leading up to when she first met and started training under Elias. If not it doesn't matter either would be great. Just hope the next two OVA's are longer. |
 |
| I'm amazed with everything... The art, animation, seiyuus, etc. Can't wait to see more of this, and I'm really considering read the manga right now. |
 |
apalagi said: For me, it was pretty much as I had imagined she might sound like. Same with Elias. Ruth's voice, however, threw me.and Chise voice is not like i was imagining so it's kinda feel funny lol. It also firmly established that Silkie enforces the rules of the house :D |
 |
| Very charming episode, I loved it. Absolutely stunning presentation, The way all those magical creatures moved around the rooms, The sparkles when Elias casted magic and the lamps lighting up, The library in the forest, . Everything gives the show a real fantastically immersive atmosphere. All in all the visual presentation is nothing short of outstanding. Quite a sad backstory for Chise. :( Overall that was an excellent start, I was gonna decide whether I would pick up the manga after seeing the OVA and now I definitely am. |
 |
| Love how magic is handled, and the music at the end was lovely. :) |
| What beautiful animation this show has, the wait will be painful but worth it. |
 "There are three things you can never get back: The word after it's said, the moment after it's missed, and the time after it's gone." -Koe no Katachi  |
| The wait is going to be deadly... |
| Why can't we have a fucking animated series rather then 3 ep OVA,this episode was so fucking beautiful.Japan why you do this to me (ಥ﹏ಥ) |
| I always heard Chise's childhood is worse in manga, but don't expecting this worse level. And why japan has many blackie one eyes creepy monster but in England have cool dragon and cute and ero fairy. The Library shot at the end is amazing. |

| That was pretty damn pretty. No complaints really. Direction was very on point on all fronts. Soundtrack through the roof. Wondering how this will do for anime only's. Manga readers are obviously going to love it. I especially liked the mention of Chise being Elias' human teacher, hngggggg. |
 |
| I need the full version of that ED song so badly |
 |
| so gooooooooooooood, the ending made up for that heart-wrenching middle. great watch |
| This anime is TOO SHORT -.- |
| From the first seconds I already found it interesting... When the characters appeared and started talking it was confirmed... But then I come here to check and see that it's only 3 eps? Instant disappointment. Hey Re:Zero, this delivery system was so imaginative... It'll be hard to beat. |

BlueBalls said: It is a shame that crap such as RElife has 100K+ members while this flies by sort of under the radar. Because ReLife has been shown for quite some time now with all the episodes being completed NetFlix style while this show is on a premiere as of now heck I bet some of the people even knows this show is being premiered. Damn harambe didn't die for that shit bruuhhh. |
 |
| This was absolutely beautiful. Felt like I was watching a movie adaptation. Gonna have to read the manga, the wait is going to kill me. |
 |
| Her past is one of the saddest i have seen lately in anime. Poor girl. She can see monsters (aren't they illusions though, the food was still there when the foster mom threw it away). The music was very nice. Very magic focused, it's gonna make for great animation also :D |
| Seems very promising so far, but the wait between episodes (and the fact that there's only three of them to begin with) is going to be pretty annoying. I already want to see a full series just from this and the first chapter of the manga alone, so based on that this is one hell of a good start. |
| Aww man poor Chise... I'm gonna go read some of the more happy-go-lucky chapters from the manga now But damn this was really good, it's been a while since I have seen an adaptation done this well. The wait is gonna kill me, but if it allows them to keep this level of quality then I can deal with that. Smudy said: Her past is one of the saddest i have seen lately in anime. Poor girl.

| Chise's voice actor sounds so much like Saori Hayami (one of my favorites) I love it xD |
