| One of the best episodes in a while! Next episode looks crazy! |

I can appreciate why people like it but for me there's just no direction whatsoever. "not a lot happened" did we watch the same episode? |

Elias and Chise agree to sort.out her curse. Their first option fails so Elias goes behind her back. They disagree and Chise leaves with Joseph/cartaphilus. Literally 3 things happened this episode. I can respect that its a brief summary but to me, that's all that's important, everything else feels really unecessary. I can respect why people like this show for all its teenage angst, attention to detail and meaningful interaction between the characters. In my opinion the show took a massive dip in quality in the second cour. Every problem that arises is solved in the same episode, the main villain only pops up from time to time, no sense of urgency or overall direction of the story. if anything its more a slice of life than anything. It took Chise longer to craft her wand than it did to calm a cursed dragon. The second OP is just a glorified AMV. I'm disappointed by this show as I really enjoyed the OVA. It made a recovery two weeks ago but went back to being bland SoL with a flare for fantasy. |

Yes, I appreciate that most episodes can be summed up in one sentence, but at least Hajime no Ippo has a general direction its going in. Ancient magus bride has no direction whatsoever, do most episodes just feel like disjointed short stories. Like I said, I can appreciate why people like this, but in my opinion they've sacrificed plot development for character development. I wanted to think this show was great but personally I'm just underwhlemed. At least the soundtrack is good. |

| Finally, the Witch could not help Chise altought Cartaphilus gave her an opportunity to remove the haunting!!!! |
| A lot of Mahoyome's dialogue is extremely sketchy and vague, maybe I would enjoy this more if I concentrate on it. MCs' voice acting was a tad questionable. Having said that it was more fun to watch than the average Mahoyome week |
| Elias... is so abusive... It's scary. Him being child-like doesn't excuse how wrong his thought-process is. He's an interesting character but they do not have a healthy relationship. |

| damn jealousy makes you a monster I'm nervous for chise ahh, I hope she wont be tortured |
 |
| That punch was well deserved! Jealousy is a very powerful tool and is not good. But why is Joseph possessing Stella's body? Can't wait to find out what this will lead. Hope Chise won't fall for that sorcerer's hands foolishly >_>; |

Would you prefer your loved ones to die in a peaceful manner or have them suffer for the rest of their lives? If Elias cared about Chise even a bit, he would have considered her feelings. He is only interested in Chise because she's a Sleigh Beggy. He's just using her as an experiment subject. |
 |
| Good episode. Elias once again acts like a douche so I'm glad Chise reacted that way tbh. Learning more about Cartaphilus' plan shall be interesting. |
| So Chise finally realizes Elias is a monster after he tried to eat her on multiple occasions and constantly showed a lack of empathy for others. |
 |
| This anime came from good vibes to bad vibes real quick. |
 |
| I really dislike how they've been putting music over scenes without dialogue and expect you to read/have read the manga to get all the details. And this is just one of many times, mostly during the 2nd half, that they've skipped explanations that you can find in the manga. I just wished they planned the composition of this adaptation better. But anyways, Elias sure is dangerous. He was about to sacrifice Stella, and not the dragon, simply because he's jealous. I'm also surprised that Ruth went along with it, but I guess neither of them, not being human themselves, understands that doing something like that is something Chise would consider absolutely unforgivable. The stare and voice that Chise gave Elias gave me chills. Her tone when she said "...really?" was so perfectly serious. it's a tone that we've never heard from Chise before. Probs to Atsumi Tanezaki for that delivery. I know Chise is acting on emotions, but damn, you can't trust anything Cartaphilus says, especially after everything that he's done. But at the same time, she didn't have much choice either. Who knows what he'd do to Stella before they could save her. I'm still a bit traumatized when we saw what he was live dissecting the poor kid dragon D: |
| So she finally saw his true colors, such thing was long overdue. He would do anything to selfishly keep her near himself. Have to say I like this developement, she finally needs to save the monster inside of him instead of just blindingly depend on him everytime. Kinda wonder where this goes, although this is probably my false hope as he would most likely save her again, return her normal hand. and they would reconcile with each other. Also, nice dilemmas this episode. Still, for her to turn away from one who betrayed her only to believe Cartaphillus instead, that was immensely stupid decision, even if she wanted to save her friend. I sense some deus ex machina coming... or Lindel magic to solve everything. |
| That's quite the episode, especially that ending was interesting. That Stella certainly is not the right Stella, or was she faking it from the beginning? Really interesting and I do wonder what happens next. |
 |
| Aw. Elias and Ruth, what y'all doinnnnn? Nuuuu TT________TT It broke my heart to see Chise's expressions of betrayal when Elias admitted to swapping out her life with Stella's :( Jealousy is mean, green monster hahaha Looks like Renfred's prediction at the auction was right after all, lol "It'll be interesting to see how long that lasts. Living creatures change, whether they desire it or not." -Renfred, ep 19 Aaaannnnddddddd Chise willingly left Elias :((( I love Ariel. So helpful ^.^ Maybe Joseph and Chise can find some happy medium between their opposite curses. But she still shouldn't trust him ofc bc of many reasons lmao. Sucks that she got blackmailed into doing what he wants tho, so that's unfortunate and inevitable :/ |
| "As long as the dragon is still alive, the curse cannot be broken." So, uh...is killing the fucking dragon not an option? Seems better than human sacrifice. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Shit, this is really really bad So many mixed feelings ahhhhh Elias went down a really dark, selfish path to save her Ruth didn't stop him even though he should have known how much it would hurt Chise This is the most top-tier level screw-up I've ever seen And then Chise runs off with Josephilus THIS IS REALLY BAD |
| Does this have anything to do with the monster that kidnapped Ethan? I had a feeling the ending to that arc was too good to be true |

| Things are starting to go downhill! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| This episode seems to open a new narrative arc, which will take us very far and with very good premises, at least it seems so. The narrative proved intriguing and the final twists were the icing on the cake. |
 |
| Damn that cliffhanger... Chise in mad mode was scary, and poor Stella :( |
 |
| Argh, I hate it when the characters can't simply say what's going on... I mean Chise noticed that Stella is possessed relatively fast, but still Elias could've told her before. |
| No one is wrong. Everyone is just weird asf as to what they want. sometimes Being neutral could save you lots of pain, which is why Lindel wonders why people do these things. Also being transparent would have helped lolz |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| y'know, Chise was right afterall, Elias is just a really old kid paying as badass. |
 |
| damn, my hatred for elias has been building up for quite a long time, now there isn't one thing i like about him. |
| This was intense, Elias was so desperate otherwise he wouldn't have done that. this gonna escalate even more. |
| I felt bad seeing the relationship between Chise and Elias be so strained in that episode to the point where she punched him, decided to leave Elias and go off on her own to try and save herself by letting her go with Cartaphilius who let Stella go as a trade (he possessed Stella previously during the whole ordeal). Still though, Elias definitely deserved that one. He wanted to help Chise out but went about it completely the wrong way, and given Chise's history of insecurity, having Elias sacrifice someone completely made him to look like the others who abused her in the past. Hopefully the relationship rectifies himself but man, Elias and even Ruth blindly fucked up there. To also play devil's advocate, Chise fucked up the moment she was alone to acquire the Dragon's Curse and now she chastises Elias for handling this in the worst fashion possible when they promised to do this together, kind of double standards moment there. It's just a bunch of desperate idiots at hand trying to figure out what to do without truly relying on each other and instead sacrificing each other in different manners, physically or emotionally. Who knows what's Cartaphilius is going to do to Chise, but it's not going to be pretty, that's for sure. Great episode with a lot of intensity to it, especially on the music and dub voice acting front. |
| I’ll be honest I didn’t expect Elias to want to sacrifice Stella I thought he wanted to break the familiar contract between Chise and Ruth and sacrifice Ruth to save Chise a life for a life |
 |
| I'm still having a hard time understanding Cartiphilus' motives if all he wants is peace why is he making others suffer? It pains me to see the two of them fighting but I guess that makes for good conflict. |
| desu desu binches |
| Finally seeing chise getting pissed. Was like a breath of fresh air. Shes never really gotten angry at elias, just a bit upset with him. But now seeing her let it all out(great right hook btw) after him trying to pull that shit was great to see. Im surprised ruth went along with something so stupid. He knows thats not what chise would want and would probably try to kill herself after it was done. |
| Jesus christ.. really? Elias for such a petty reason and then that unnecessary misunderstanding. Also Chise's to blame here too, should've been patient enough to hear counter argument but no she went with the fist, and then got herself caught later on obviously. Pretty frustrating episode. |
 |
| Chise, que grande eres, al fin abres los ojos, aunque yendo con Cartaphilus... Bueno, que se le puede hacer, estaba amenazada. Me lo esperaba del pendejo de Elias pero de Ruth? Lo siguiente lo digo a unas personas que comentan sobre el episodio en otra pagina de Anime Muchos defendiendo a Elias, otro viendo como es (gracias) Me la pela que no sepa lo que son las emociones y todo esa vaina, un imbécil no deja de ser un imbécil si solo sabe comportarse como imbécil, ya ha vivido demasiado tiempo como para que apenas este creciendo mentalmente |
 |
| I feel really bad and sad for Stella who doesn't know anything about this and gets possessed by Cartaphilus. I can understand why Chise is angry and I'm honestly upset with Elias' decision but at the same time I can also understand why Elias did it. |
 |
| man, nevin is the dude. things got heavy really fast. |
 |
| And they just agreed they'd do this together. Interesting how clear minded Elias was on WHO to target. Chise was quick on the uptake too. It's understandable with no other options to keep her alive. But they didn't take her feelings into account (and Chise being pissed off is scary af) |
 |
| Elias you really became the monster here....but Carty did you kill Stella? |
 |
| oh no. happenings |
