This show loves strange and forbidden events and objects, so naturally, Chise would come across another one of those again. That school is full of mysteries.

Between a mixture of goofy and serious moments, I do think this episode had the right balance amount of emotions. Oh and Elias' words are still wise even after all these years.

Chise was not feeling herself well over there, so she got some NOT snickers, and all was well again .. see ? Just as the advert said so.

No but seriously, every time you think the shit's going to go down next week, the next week comes and nothing happens, again ... Still, the big lady talk with Elias was kinda interesting.

0:20 The second line wasn't translated. He says "You were moaning in your sleep"
Joseph!
That's a lot of snacks lol
Alcyone development!
It was cool how everyone stood up for Lucy in the cafeteria scene.
It's interesting how the attacks have completely stopped. But it's clearly related to Philomela somehow.

That grandma is getting on my nerves. She basically does whatever she wants to others without any real backlash whatsoever. I know she's a classic puppetmaster villain and she might be acting on orders but this is a bit much. Have her meet some opposition already.

Oh and Philo's master is clearly feeding on her pain one way or another to handle her own feelings caused by her own situation. True it's probably to show how sorcerer families work but I got that already way back. It needs to get integrated in the main story or I'll lose focus even though I do think it's really well done.

Looks like next EP something is finally about to happen. The plot not moving was starting to get annoying.

Is it just me or is Veronica uncanny? The way she smiles gives me "poisons someone so they get sick and she can take care of her" vibes.

PS: One of the most hillarious scenes I have ever seen, the headmaster dropping snickers all over Chise.

Alcyone getting to know herself by talking to Elias, she really cares for Philomela, pretty fun the snacks bit and how Chise immediately went to defend Lucy, it seems the next episode is the moment that has been building up.

Ahh ok I finally understand what’s going on now with the forbidden book and students getting their magic stolen lol. I been confused as hell for the past 4-5 eps cause I couldn’t remember last season at all.

I love the similarities between Alcyone and Philomela and Elias and Chise relationships. Alcyone is understandably very concerned about Philomela, knows she’s being taken advantage of and wants to help, but she feels it’s not her place. Glad Elias convinced her to do what she feels best and not what her “place” dictates. Relationships grow and evolve over time after all.

Nah Chise standing up for Lucy was fire. That’s a real ass friend that everyone needs. You need people to get upset on your behalf. Especially when folks spouting bs like that dude was. Guess Chise will have to tell Lucy how she saw into her past now.

Damn that ending, poor Philomela :/ definitely needs someone to come get her out of that situation.

@Gl0rp Is Chise's 'fairy friend' Elias? Elias is Chise's husband... yes... Chise is married with the immortal elemental being also called Pilum Murialis.

@Gl0rp Being a powerful magus herself, Chise has an excellent relationship with the Nature, the elemental beings and the supernatural beings. Considering the College is isolated and Chise herself would never explore another being, she relies on herself and her husband to fight the good fight.

Certainly. My reasoning is that miss fairy friend wanted to visit Chise, flew into the barrier, started to look for why it was up, found out it was because of Lizbeth meddling, smacked Lizbeth some fierce, barrier went down and fairy, Chise and Philomela had cookies with tea.

I truly enjoy how the author has consistently stuck with the theme of classic folklore in the story; the idea that certain times of year, places, items, bonds, names, etc, all have significance and power in wildly various ways has always been an integral part of the narrative and is forming the basis of the darkness that is creeping ever closer.

As a manga reader it's been fun to see in animated hindsight all the small things that built up to what's coming. It's kinda like 'oh... that makes sense now, it was there all along'.

The principal surprised me here. When dealing with Chise being short on magic power from the attack that was aimed at her, the principal had the perfect solution of being a walking confectionery shop, dropping dozens of "Snickers" and "Mars" bars for Chise to replenish her energy with some high calorie content.

Coming from someone who likes chocolate, I'm jealous! XD

I do like how Chise stood up for Lucy by giving Kevin a good verbal lecture, although Lucy gave him a nice knuckle sandwich, which he did deserve. Having said that, Chise's involvement did annoy Lucy, so she does have the right to know about what Chise saw in her past, just so that misunderstanding don't arise.

As for Philomela, she's still suffering, even to the point of being unable to eat much of Veronica's food before throwing up. However, Veronica asked Philomela if she's feeling okay, but the camera gave us a look of Veronica that did make her look suspicious. I won't deny that this moment has giving me doubt as to whether she's got hidden motives or not, even when factoring her backstory from the previous episode. Hopefully I'm overthinking things here, although the preview of the next episode does look like things will be escalating very quickly.

To repeat myself from before, I can only hope that Philomela gets the help that she needs, although I do feel like that won't happen just yet. =(

That's alright. We all have different taste and I simply like stories that build up and suddenly gives you a revelation. That's just one of my likes so I totally understand if your taste differ from mine. Better drop a anime you don't like after three episodes and spend time on those you do.

I really like Philomela, at least her development. It's kind remembered me of Chise in the start of the show. But after this ep, i starting to think she and/or Veronica is the main antagonist of this arc.

Veronica seems like a mom with Munchausen's By Proxy. I'm surprised Philo tried to eat considering she was raised never to eat anything given to you. I'm starting to get over Philo. Either die or do something.

The only part that seemed interesting was the test and we hardly saw anything.

Good thing Chise's cursed. He actually came to her and told her not to look the thing in the eyes. The principal has a sweet tooth. Where was she hiding all those Snockers.

Veronica is creepy as shit. Also the book-attacker subplot has to be related to Philo's story in some way. The grandma is obviously awful and was involved with the werewolf stuff but Idk how I feel about Veronica yet either.

As Alexandra needs Chise's Sleigh Beggy powers to amp the Gathering stones for students in dire need, since the attacker is still residing in the College. And once agin, yet another victim, though Chise's power gets sapped the exact way from the Testament of Carmichael, though it used the student as a test. The news is already making its rounds around the College, and Elias devises a side solution to relieve Chise of the negativity going around right now, by harvesting vegetables.

Rian wanting to apologize to Philomela, but it seems like he's protruding at a wrong time. As the training continues, Chise seeing both Elias and Lizbeth together more as the College enters the Christmas season, and Kevin is on his own parade wanting to catch the attacker, when there're basically no clues at hand. To that end, Chise standing up for Lucy before she even struck at him, it's natural for her.

Philomela is still sick, and Veronica going to see her, just what is going on Philomela's mind?

Barely any action in the second cour, very slow pacing, and Philomena's character in particular has remained virtually unchanged for 17 whole episodes. Are they trying to get us bored? If so they're succeeding...

Pretty excited that we're finally seeing the relationship between Philomela and Veronica, both of them have really shady pasts that are hard not to pass on with the current events in the story. It'll also show more of Veronica's character which is shaping to be very sinister, it's really hard to see Philomela and Veronica's relationship as "friends" even though Veronica sometimes gives that aura, more like she's using Philomela and extorting her a lot, i think that single frame of Veronica we see from the pov of Philomela sums up the situation well, Philomela is bat shit scared of Veronica and rightfully so, Veronica got Philomela dancing in her palm.

Next episode looks wild and in a really depressing way.

I really like this series, but I think it's about time we put the Philomela stuff in place and get over with it. It's been going on since forever, and to what it seems like, would see its extension till the end of this cour, if we go by this pace that is.

Also that dude with "infamous" hairstyle really did embarrass himself in front of a crowd lol.

OMG! I'm so happy to see that Elias has grown enough to be able to teach others how to be human! Alcyone is also showing signs of free will.


BEAT HIS ASS CHISE!!! How dare he talk shit about Lucy!



NVM! Lucy got it! I wish more characters did this to their bullies.


So it Veronica actually a piece of shit or is Philomela just too scared of everyone? Was I wrong?
