| well ..I learned a lot on this episode .. she can't use her magic all the time bcoz she depends on the amount of ley iine in the area .. izetta's dream and another flashback of her past with fine, im very curious to the story of the previous white witch's past despite her being called a traitor .. and also that izetta has a big rack ... |
 |
| Ley lines i see and Elvira is hot ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| What I truly learned this episode, Izetta is more stacked than I thought. |
 |
| Pretty interesting to see how her power works through those leyline connections which at the moment seem as though they'll play a crucial factor for Izetta and Fine's troops seen a little fan service here and there lol but its all good as long as it doesnt go cray |

| funny how some people saw boobs then condemn the whole epiosde, saying it's getting worse ...ok |
| So the king is dead and Finé is taking over. Izetta is the real deal and is being called the second coming of the White Witch — who isn't thought of as the best witch by the witches themselves. And they plan to reveal both to the public and the world on the day of Finè's coronation. The witch reveal will serve to make the enemy wary of this tiny country and make their allies reconsider their decision regarding Elystadt. But the Germans will still approach Elystadt because the king believes in the existence of witches and is thus interested in Izetta. And Izetta's weaknesses of ley lines may prove to be too much of a problem if the enemy gets their hands on this information. The enemy could then attack from where there are few or no ley lines to avoid Izetta. And they can get this information by someone leaking top secret information. That maid was cute and fun too. The king just dead and she's in high spirits with her own background music which stopped for a while when the death was mentioned lol. And Izetta is quite well endowed in her chest region. |
| So this week featured a slower paced episode I guess to come down off of the high of last week being that badass fight that Izetta faced head on...understandable but...this show is hitting a very static-like edge and it's only the 4th episode. Like I can appreciate slow building stuff but if we are only getting 12 episodes then either the development is going to pick up before the midway mark or it's going to be so rushed that it will plummet this show's potential into the dirt. Which...tends to happen to a lot of original shows lately. The soundtrack is great as always but what's up with the fanservice? I don't mind it when it fits in an anime but for this set up, it's really awkward. Last week we had butt shots and panty shots throughout the entire action sequence and now this week we got some groping, tit flashing and etc. I mean...it's just like a complete outlier. Then again, it feels like Izetta's parts in this series has been nothing but triggers for random drops of fanservice so far but who knows. I'm hoping they pick up the pace and bring in some new material because this show has kinda lost its initial edge from its debut and with the second episode. Don't get me wrong, the action of last week is great but...idk, it feels like I've been watching this show for a long time and nothing is really going on. But that's just me. 3/5 for me this week. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| This episode I feel had alot of good points to push the story forward which I'm complete ok with. Sure not much action happened but it was interesting to see the aftermath of the last battle and how people are reacting to the witch izetta. So far I'm liking the characters a bit more and I honestly don't have many gripes with this show so far. It's been very solid and consistent so far. |
| Overall another great episode that not only advanced the plot but also introduced some interesting characters. Lotte is a pretty funny character and her seiyuu Nao Toyama is as perfect as always. The adviser that sat next to Fine also looks to be good character as well. I love how it shows the Fine is concerned more about Izetta's well being than her powers unlike the generals. The bond between them grows by the day. Hmm using Izetta as a deterrent is a smart move that guy who suggested it is smart Hmm a news reporter from the states Makes sense that there will be reporters in this setting Interesting character so far and its to see that she's played by one of my favorite seiyuu's Kana Hanazawa here wow Fine was so brave when she was little she still is as a adult as well Wow their outfits for the coronation actually look really smart especially Fine Wow Izetta is so devoted to helping Fine create an ideal world im sure that Fine will be able to do so The germanian king though looks to be a smart man and no doubt will be plotting something very evil. He also looks like he believes in the legends of the witch. This episode also did a good job in explaining some of the lore surrounding the witches. It makes sense that they will have some sort of limit to their powers as without it they will be too OP. Anyway can't wait to see what happens in the Coronation |

| Feeling a little clunky here, but hopefully things will be back on track now. Not keen on the maid and bodyguard characters. It would have been nice if the leylines and trust-building weren't so conveniently pushed along. |
| Episode that does not excite me too much. First, because to make the atmosphere light, do not necessarily go overboard with fanservice. Second, because all the events seem to be taken very lightly, you had to play more on the psyche of the characters, in short, it takes more characterization to advance a convincing story, this is "one" of the keys to success. It is useful to have put some stakes to Izetta's powers, makes more credible the plot. |
 |
| build up on Izetta I see.......... |
 |
| I love how humble Rosetta is. These kind of characters are very likable. I personally think they shouldn't expose her existence. Seems that'll be the trigger for things to come. Lovely animation as usual. Definitely in my top 3 this season. |
| damn, the forums these days... |
| now that she told them that secret i just feel that some one is gonna turn on them or something but other than that was a nice ep with a nice change of pace |
| "one step at a time" |
| Was the fanservice really necessary? It's probably due to a lack of action, but it also shows a lack of confidence from the writer's point of view, thinking that their writing's not strong enough to hold its own without the need of "plot". Also lol at the United States of Atlanta. |
| I need sleep. |
| "B-Banzai...?" xD |
 |
| I'm a bit curious to learn more about the first White Witch and why the first White Witch was called a traitor. Though I can assume it's because the first White Witch decided to help the people. Izetta's character being fleshed out is a nice change of pace for this episode. LOL Hitler sure looks different in this show compared to real life. XD I noticed some fanservice in this episode, but that didn't really bother me. I like the interactions between Fine and Izetta. The preview for the next episode hints at something bad that's going to happen. Hoping for another interesting episode next week. |
 |
| It was a nice episode but i think that's dumb that they will reveal Izetta to everyone, they should keep it a secret, nobody needs to know how you destroyed your enemies...better keep it as a myth. Everyone would just think that they have a secret weapon....but no let's advertise her worldwide. It's the same if a government would reveal what they are working like those"TOP SECRET" files, with secret weapons etc... And that ecchi moment with the reporter was extremely unnecessary. |

ahahahah best joke xD |

| This show is supposed to be a reflection of World War 2 yet I seem to be getting a ton of World War 1 vibes. It's almost as if the screen-players didn't know the setting in Europe during this time period, which is perfectly fine I have no quarrel with that, it is set in a different universe. Other vibes I'm receiving so far into this series is the relation to Howl's Moving Castle mixed with a little bit of Kiki's Delivery Service. The animation could be better, as long as we always get that Evangelion style fight climax mid-episode so that we know the budget was spent adequately, it should be fine. (No pun intended on the Evangelion reference.) In saying so the backdrops look stellar, the key animation (during fight scenes) is very well done. I'm really liking the use of originality from this series when it comes to how Izetta fights with her power. I'm really hoping to see more of it. On the cons side of things I did find myself skipping through rhetorical talk this episode, mainly filler. Some fan service used as a means of entertainment based on the episode itself lacking action is not a good sign, at one point even going full yuri. I felt like I was watching an episode of Mad Men when 'advertising' was brought up, I understand morale, we don't need half an episode dedicated to it. Flashbacks, no one likes a flashback. Fucking boring episode compared to Episode 3. |
| Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Lie until you aren't lying anymore! Figures  |
| So now we know more about Izetta's power, that's why she get weak sometimes. Finé have always been a cool girl, since a kid! |
 |
| the fanservice in this episode was unnecessary but it didn't take up much of the episode so i can deal with it. izetta and fine looked pretty cool in the end. |
 |
 Dat fanservice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

2-2Distracted said: Lol funny how folks are complaining about fan-service in this episode when there already was in the previous one AND in the OP (a naked chick and a dripping gun for fucks sake!) There are different sorts of fan-services. I bet that most of the people here complaining didn't care much about Fine taking a shower in the first episode (At least I didn't). I can admit that's subtil and not so understandable for everybody, but there's is somewhere for some people a line between good (I do think it can be good) and bad fan-service and what matters is on which side of this line we are, because, you know, I swear, we all know that women have boobs, we can see that and even sometimes we won't sigh and roll our eyes if some appears on the screen, but here in this episode at least I did. Side-note other topic : I might have been wrong, and most of the people here right, in my interpretation of the traitor-flag. It's probably "traitor" toward the witches, it makes sense. |

| The groping scene was a bit weird imo. But overall a nice episode. I hope we will see more izettaXfine time in the future, because this was not the amount of yuri I was looking for. Izetta is just to cute! damn! A bit explanaition of her powers. This all looks very promising. I just hope they dont rush the anime to fit into 12 episodes.. |

| there must be either one of them is spy. |
jeah and this is exactly why I hope they find the right pace. The story looks like it could deliver more then just "magic in WW2" considering how the germanians sort of knew about the witch. So what mostly happens is a) open ending or b) rushed shitty ending. And I really hope they will find a better way here. |

And I really hope they will find a better way here. Honestly, this show has bigger problems than pacing. I'm more worried about the characters myself. Both Fine and Izetta are pretty one-dimensional. Fine is just a flawless princess, and Izetta's entire characterization is just to serve Fine. The rest of the cast is even worse. It's pretty lazy characterization really. At least the action is good. That's this show's saving grace, so they probably should focus on that as much as they can. the problem is you can already expect the pacing to become a problem in a couple of episodes. And whats the problem with the characters? In a 12 ep anime you cant really expect characters to have tons of backstory to justify their actions and so far we even got some. why cant a princess be capable? Why cant she be flawless? She is not out of character imo. As the last of her "race" and with a high dept to fine, I dont see a problem with Izetta serving her aswell. especially if you consider fine beeing her only friend and she even saved her from captivity. We may see more of the characters and some developement in the future. Then action is indeed really good, especially the details on the equipment. |

In a 12 ep anime you cant really expect characters to have tons of backstory to justify their actions and so far we even got some. why cant a princess be capable? Why cant she be flawless? She is not out of character imo. The problem isn't lack of backstory or Fine being capable. Fine is more than capable, she's flawless, personality-wise, and that's a problem for two reasons. First because there's no room for character growth, and more importantly because when there is such a flawless character around, everything becomes about her, the characterization of everyone else starts to revolve around her, and this doesn't let the other characters come into their own. We understand why Izetta's entire purpose in life is to serve Fine, but regardless of the reason, being like that doesn't make her an interesting main character, because it doesn't let her come into her own and be her own person. And it's not just Izetta. All we learned about Hans is that he's super loyal to Fine and thinks she's more important than all the soldiers put together. Then we have Lotte, the maid who stays cheerful even after the king died... because Fine told her to. And why did Bianca stop suspecting Izetta? Was it because Izetta showed she is a trustworthy person on her own merits? Nah, they just bonded over their mutual worship of Fine. And it's not just the characterization, but the interactions too. Just go back to episode 2 and see what Izetta and Hans or Izetta and the doctor talked about? They talked about Fine. And what did Izetta and Bianca talk about? Fine. You can't build proper relationships when the center of every character, interaction or conversation is Fine. I'm not saying this doesn't make sense. When you have such a flawless character like Fine around, everything becomes about her. It's logical. But whether it makes sense isn't the problem. The problem is this is fucking up everyone else's characterization and interactions. With a character like Fine around there's no chance for anyone else to be their own person. Everyone is one-dimensional, even Izetta with all her flashbacks and backstory, because all those flashbacks and backstory are more about Fine than Izetta herself, about how brave and selfless Fine is and how it's natural that Izetta (and everyone else in the kingdom) lives to serve her. She is the princess of the country, its kinda obvious she is in the centre. Not every character needs to develope. Its alright if we get an already developed character. Again, this is a 12 ep anime. You want things that are just not possible in that short amount of time. Nobody cares about hans or all the side characters. |

| I'm just gonna keep away from the fanservice discourse and appreciate how HanaKana and Ucchi managed to set their voices that low. Just whoa. |
| No seriously. |
| Another decent episode but the fanservice was a bit jarring. |
