| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The search for the next Word continues. Episode had some bizarre moments like that strange creature Akko encountered. Also poor Sucy D: I kinda like how Akko is taking on more risks even when it looks hopeless. The reindeer, snow, and Santa-like character gave me some Christmas feels this episode. |
 |
| Ako is in a rush but it was an eventful episode. Especially the part with Yeti was nice, he was a victim of the internet trolls. Anyway Ako is following the way the greatness now it's a question of wether she will achieve it. |
| The search for the next words begins. Poor Sucy, Lotta and her family were covered in that Greenman disease. Akko was lacking patience, but she managed to cure everyone. The scene with the Yeti was nice. Three more words to go. |
 |
| Lotte's mom got NTR'd on her debut episode. |
 |
| Akko really needs to have patience lol |
| Good episode. Nice to see Lotte's hometown. Didn't expect the Yeti to be an Artisan. Akko saves the day. Another word down. |

Too bad they already did that better 12 episodes ago. I get why the Words exist, but I feel that their inclusion may have a negative effect of the show--well at least in this episode. I think that it was better when Akko growing as a character which subsequently unlocks a word than the other way around. |

| This episode felt like filler. Hopefully with only 9 more to go we don't get anymore like this. |
| Akko kind of annoyed me in this episode with how damn impatient she was -_- But regardless, this episode was still nice (Even though Akko didn't really grow/learn much) Only 3 more words to go |
Bugberry91 said: eXtacy67 said: Except it had her unlock one of the Words, which is really, really important and part of the main plot. As Ursula pointed out, you can't rush learning the Words, so it was inevitable that she'd uncover them in her day to day adventures.This episode felt like filler. Hopefully with only 9 more to go we don't get anymore like this. Still 90% of this episode was fluff. |
Bugberry91 said: Pencil_of_Noise said: Except that happened here too. Akko was already going on this trip regardless of if she discovered the Word along the way, and she didn't unlock the Word until the end of her mission to find an antidote. I don't see how you could think she unlocked the Word THEN grew as a character, since by definition she was only able to unlock the Word through her growth.Too bad they already did that better 12 episodes ago. I get why the Words exist, but I feel that their inclusion may have a negative effect of the show--well at least in this episode. I think that it was better when Akko growing as a character which subsequently unlocks a word than the other way around. The whole thing felt like the unlocking of the word was the solution to the problem, whereas the previous ones were unlocked due to a self-realization. Akko's previous Word unlockings were more focused in their messages; Akko had a desire which is then challenged and/or questioned by a trial. It could've been better if they slowed down the pacing of the episode so Akko feeling the need to rush is justified in that she urgently needs to fix the problem, and then realizing that she needs to chill in order to succeed would bring more strength to her development. |

| i hope the next episode won't be the same like this episode. |
| Even when it's just another "Filler", it still feels exciting to watch. Visiting Yeti's house, which seems that he's a shy "person". >_< |

| So I do believe the seven words that Akko has to learn are essentially born of lessons that tie to the Seven Heavenly Virtues. Like this episode she learned Patience while episodes before included Diligence, Courage and I think Humility. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| For me it seems like Akko didn't really found by herself the 4th word because Ursula-sensei already gave it out (hint) LOL @ Sucy she said to Akko what she's lacking something and Sucy said: "That narrows it down to just about everything." 4/5. |
 |
| A new word was found but the episode is kinda lame. Professor Croix scene was interesting though. |

| Finally a Finland episode! Surströmming/Hapansilakka in karjalanpiirakka and the green Helsinki trams. But didn't Lotte's Swedish speaking family live in Åbo? Also the first time I saw Sami people in anime. And the Moomin reference: Little My's older sister Mymlan as "Janne". Erittäin hyvä jakso! |

this  Akko is so gullible lmao In this pace,Lotte or even Sucy might discover who really is Shiny Chariot faster than her lol |

| First we had a dragon who plays the stock market and now we have an artisan yeti who is bummed out by haters. I really do love the ridiculous direction LWA goes when it comes to mythical beasts. |
 |
| Although not exciting as the revelation if the other words, I'm glad that the fourth has been revealed This felt more like a filler episode, but whatever |

Saw the names of the 3 future episodes One Will be aboout Amanda since it's called Amanda and the Holy Grail And one is called Cavendish (19th) Don't know the 17th name, forgot I think that after these episodes main plot kicks in again, finale š be patient! |
| My actual reaction 1st phase- Oh, so we're going to Lotte's house and meet her family. That's nice, a breather from all the shit hitting the fan. Finally we get some more character develo... 2nd phase- HOLY SHIT!! When did Little Witch Academia end and BIOHAZARD (Resident Evil) begin?!?!?! Everyone's turning into MOSS! $#@%ing MOSS! We have moss creatures who drown you to death, and they look a lot more merciful compared to THIS! Overall- 10/10 This time I really didn't see the main point of the episode, which was patience, coming, so good on you guys. You're finally getting the hang of this (Why am I feeling like there was a three act structure here?) We get more insight into the past, though brief, of Chariot and Croix. But the main selling point was when Biohazard started. Time is of the essence and Akko needs to make the antidote asap, but as it turns out, to get each of them, patience is required (Though technically, snow can only fall when energy is transferred to the snow to make it fall, and berries are technically made to fall from wind, be it naturally or through a sneeze. If that isn't natural enough, you need to revise on your Natural Biology). But one of my favourite moments has to be when
(Wait, that's three) Oh, I forgot to mention the OTHER favourite part; when Akko pushed Lotte's dad and had him smooch Miss Jannes (At the time, they were MOSS statues, so they didn't know), Lotte's mom came out (STILL in MOSS form) and pimp-smacked her husband out. It's like that scene from Back to the Future 3, when Doc. Brown ran to the water hole in a coma, when it turned out to be his reflexes. |

ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!! |
edgeofultima said: i hope the next episode won't be the same like this episode. Seeing the names of 3 future episodes, I think they will 17th (forgot the name) 18th Amanda and the Holy Grail 19th Cavendish And I guess that after that the finale kicks in, the last word that even Ursula doesn'to know, with main plot and villain Croix and badass Ursula and emotional battle and that fire that Akko saw in episode 11 |
| So, we had a dragon who was a pro at the stock market, and now we have a yeti whose skills were brought into question by the crappy side of the internet, the trolls. So it was a good thing Akko threw his phone away and told him to just ignore the haters and continue making stuff he excels at. =) Overall, Akko has now unlocked the fourth magic words in this fun episode. I had to laugh at Lotte's parents though. Akko did nudge Lotte's father into the neighbour into a kissing pose and just before the moss stopped their movements, Lotte's mother gave the big guy a good whack on his head. XD Only three more magic words to go now. =) |
| I thought we were done with the useless episodes :| This episode has consequences of a very dark tone yet it was all solved in a rather cartoonish way, despite feeling serious for brief seconds... something that trivializes the whole point of the development shown. Insert plague that requires literally 2000 things to align, on top of the 3 main characters being the only ones not affected (initially), and apparently no one else in town as well. Feels just a bit too silly for me at this point. Then we have Croix that, despite trying to kill Ursula / Chariot last episode, is still allowed to have her base of operations at Luna Nova (or very close). Why isn't Ursula telling the main committee or at least Akko that she's bad news and should stay away from her? Lastly, Lotte and Sucy don't seem very interested at the fact that Akko is apparently a chosen one of sorts (considering just how incompetent she is regarding magic as a whole). Meh. Hope next episodes are better. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| Such a nice episode, I really enjoyed it. 4/5 I kinda wish there is an episode where they visit Sucy's house now. xD |

Bugberry91 said: Infatuate said: You don't need dire, dark stakes to have an important lesson. This wasn't a useless episode, far from it. Not only did Akko unlock a Word, we also met Lotte's family and saw a typical magical family for the first time.I thought we were done with the useless episodes :| This episode has consequences of a very dark tone yet it was all solved in a rather cartoonish way, despite feeling serious for brief seconds... something that trivializes the whole point of the development shown.

Hope next episodes are better. The other locals weren't affected by the plague because they didn't have contact with the pies, and the other locals couldn't help because none of them were Witch families with the means or understanding to cure it, since the antidote book said you need to contact your local witch. We've had plenty of other silly episodes with important lessons, so I don't see why this stands out to you. If Ursula tried ratting out Croix, Croix could easily do the same to her identity as Chariot, and it's fairly easy to see at this point that Croix has more credibility. Lotte and Sucy haven't seen what Akko has seen, so they probably aren't able to grasp the importance of her task. That sounds reasonable, sort of. At least in the realm of assumptions it is. |

And Akko just having a stare contest with the reindeer, that is adorable. I'm still not convinced that Nicholas, the man in the Sami clothes, was anything other than just an ordinary Sami man. There also was a scene with a young boy with the same blue clothes (Gákti) as Nicholas, before we met him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sami_people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A1kti https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Winds_hat |

Due to the big number of ways Nicholas can be written, it's surely not a coincidence. Reindeers also doesn't have red nose (Usually) and Sami people are sometimes linked with Santa Claus, especially their clothes. I know that the name Nicholas can be associated to Santa Claus in some countries, but the Swedish/Finnish equivalent Niklas has no such such associations. It's just a name among others. I personally think that it's too far-fetched to force a Santa connection here. But anyone is free to believe whatever they want. I have also never ever heard of any links between the Sami and Santa, here in my two homelands Sweden and Finland. But the creators really did a good job with the Sami clothes, and I'm really happy to see our proud ingenious Nordic people in an japanese anime. So, when can we see the Ainu people speaking Ainu language in an anime? :) |

| @Pencil_of_Noise @Infatuate @evyyy @eXtacy67 @WaifuNationz People seem to forget the overall theme that this show has going on in the background and how this episode still followed it. There is this whole thing with magic dying out and technology coming in as a replacement. In this episode, it was shown how Lotte's shop has now changed with the times and stopped focusing on selling magic items. The lack of skillful mages in the area (and actually the whole world while we're at it, it's just a symbolic thing that it was this place and not another) left Akko to deal with this situation in the end. First she gets help from Lotte and Sucy, which was supposed to show how they're gonna get involved in Akko's discoveries more directly from now on. When Akko meets the Yeti, he is simply bummed out and lost all passion for his craft. Why? Because technology made him this way. In the previous episodes we got to see how great technology is and how it'll help the mage world, but at severe costs. Now we see it having more and more negative effect, because previously the Yeti probably wouldn't have to deal with all of it. In the era of magic, he would (and probably was) be more appreciated and never receive this kind of negativity. Akko helped him understand that he doesn't have to abandon the past by switching to the new, how technology isn't a thing he should worry about, as well as hate which she had to deal with before as well. Croix also showed how the strongest source of magic energy is anger in one of the scenes here, which supports my claim. We already saw that Croix is most likely the antagonist, but now we see that technology is pretty bad in its own right as well, not only in the hands of Croix. As she was getting back she was contemplating giving up, the one that told her that was her past self, the one that couldn't cast a single spell and didn't have the Shiny Rod or her friends. But thankfully, those people tell her that she has to carry on with her duty to become better, and finally she sees the person she's been striving to be like: Shiny Chariot, telling her the same thing, so she picks herself back up. She gets saved, goes back, understands the overall lesson of being patient (though quickly forgets it as she usually would) and unlocks a new word. That was long. I still probably missed a lot. This episode had a lot of substance, it's just that it was subtle. |
