| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Holy shit, Kagari in a swimsuit?! Ah nvm.. Looks like Takamura is getting more magic training again. I'm not liking that delinquent from the previous episode again. I lol'd @ a stalking Kagari from the bath scene. Freaking priceless. |
 |
| Looking forward to watching this! Thnx for the HEAD'sUP ; nd one more thing - Will there be any development in the relation of Ayaka and Honoka? |
| Takamiya back at it with training. He made a bigger version of Kagari in a nurse uniform lol. |
 |
| Awesome episode.... "Spartan" training for Takamiya..... Nicely done Takamiya, Giant kagari san in bikini would have been nice, but the nurse was a really good choice. Can't wait for next episode. |
 |
| That was a fun episode and now we have a new villain. The bomb was a really good move. |
| damn is this it ?? finally another plot development??/ |
 |
| LOL Tanpopo-chan (I think it was her anyway) walking onto some platform to train or smth then immediately sprains her ankle XD And they stop training because of it xD Oh wow, Kazane. Didn't know she had THAT much magic in her. Damn, can't regain her magic until a week is over. Nice little fight between Kagari and the other workshop witches. XD Rinon threatening Takamiya if he tried to escape. Hoping Weekend gives them a challenge this time. |
 |
| Finally an opponent that has "annoying villain" written all over her lol. Chronoire was actually likable and Medusa's pretty chill. And Weekend's voice is weirdly annoying yet attractive :3 She sounds oddly familiar. I'd likely to figure this out myself so I won't be looking at the list yet lol |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Ayaka was seriously hot during that training anime definitely needs more girls with such personalities. Seems that things are unfolding now they i can't really say it's spectacular more like something like this was bound to happen. As for the girls that where supposed to help them out i knew something was of the moment she was laying and trying to make up some fake excuse. It just sounded really fishy. In the end it just seemed like they wanted to hide them from Weekend or the other witches. |

| Nice episode :D Nice dream at the start with Mizugi Kagari :3 The training part was really fun ^^...Lol'd at Kagari being jealous of Kazumi bathing with Honoka XD And what she calls "Spartan" training...Holding him from behind helping him XD Yeah really spartan XD Also how she was ready to stop the training just for a scrape XD...Then suddenly throwing him off the building XDXD Talk about extreme mood swings hahaha...but that's what makes her cute ^^ Honoka's image of something strong being Nurse Kagari was priceless XDXDXD But I definitely agree though ^^ Kagari's dream interested me. It's like she was dreaming of a future Honoka (From her perspective as a middle school girl) Damn dem explosions. Kagari still taking the test with no care in the world was lol Weekend's idea to make Kazane use all her magic was pretty smart. I think she's underestimating Kagari though. And if not then the white princess will own her hehe ^^; The end showing they can't use magic makes me think differently though. I wonder how they're gonna fight? Seems like we'll be having an arc from how the PV had "Part 1" Nice. Seems interesting. Can't wait :D |
 |
| This is getting serious now?? Hope takamiya unleashes his powers on Weekend!!! |
| The swimsuit in the beginning of the episode was short lived. So the training he went through being pushed off that building reminded me of the training Naruto went through when he was pushed of a cliff by Jiraiya. Great episode!!! |
 |
| This is where Witch Craft Works gets really good . The anime only has 3 more episodes so I hope the OVA will cover the big fight. |
 |
| I like how they even have explanation as to why no one was hurt even after all those magic battles happening throughout the city. Kazane must have OVER9000 magic power since she can protect so many people O.o Ayaka kept concentrating on the test and only got mad when her paper got burned was hilarious XD That's the thing that I love the most about this show. Even during intense/dangerous moments, everyone (the witches) are quite chill. The Medusa siblings somehow have already been adopted to Takamiya's family XD |
 |
| I really think that this anime is underated. His fast pacing is really crazy and his absurdity is so hilarious. Also, I like Honoka since he's a weak and disliked MC. He pretty much have quality expect of his kindness. What is also great is that the main girl is really powerful and protecting the MC, which is often reversed in anime. It was funny when the five tower witches were all happy for their new gym, but then, ''GIANT MINI-SKIRT KAGARI NURSE!'' xD This show is so stupid. We could also say that the only reason Kagari accepted to train Honoka is that she wanted him to stop him from taking bath with his sister. Oh Kagari, you sly tsundere :P The plot advanced nicely. I like the special link between Honoka and Kagari, Kagari seem to be linked with him in a personnal way, like she knew him before and he was important for her, and Honoka seem to have interrest in her and admiration. That new blonde girl look like she is the true mastermind behind all the tower witches. I guess she'll be really powerful. We also know why the city seem to be never really affected by all the explosion and craziness, which is because of Kazane. Anyway, this anime keep getting better and better, I really wanna know how all this madness will end. |

| Just realize Aya Hirano voice for Weekend. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Weekend and this part of the plot seems promising. Was sort of disappointed at the Medusa one. She's a pretty chill character though :D |
| Suddenly they crammed a lot of plot in there after some rather uneventful but zany episodes. Kagari in a swimsuit for the win. |

| Kagari in dat swimsuit ,hnnggg. Dat summoning,lol. Ohh a new villain.They're in some deep shit now. |
| Massive respect to the author for not putting Ayaka in some oddly slutty bikini. Friggin lold when Ayaka wanted to stop training because of the scraped elbow she feared would happen. And is it just me or did Honoka's Familiar look nothing like Ayaka? Damn, I knew Kazane was strong, I mean she beat down Ayaka-Medusa with 1 strike AFTER being turned to stone, but protecting an entire city around the clock? Shes damned crazy powerful. And so the puppet master is named Weekend eh? I wonder what her magic specialty is. Baddie007 said: Whoa, wtf, Kagari is wearing that lame swimsuit, shit them illustrators ought put her in a bikini instead. Nah man. Its a nice change of pace for a beautiful woman to NOT be strutting her stuff in a slutty 2-piece. I mean I love it as much as the next guy but porn is the last thing I watch anime for. |
 |
| Loving that OST, it kinda sounds like a hip hop beat. |
| Not a fan of this episode's pacing. |
 |
| Another villain randomly shows up with some kind of plan, sticking to the formula this series has set for itself. Trying to explain away all of the crazy shit, like people never getting hurt during these battles, and the such with some kind of magical contract that's only just now being mentioned? Seems far-fetched, more like a scape-goat than an actual plot device. This episode seemed rushed, too much crammed into it, and suddenly forcing a plot around all of the random events that have taken place in the last few episodes should have been handled with more care. It's like it was just thrown together at the last minute. Still, though, it was a better episode then the last few. On the series as a whole, it seems the pacing is completely out of whack, not synchronized at all. You've got some episodes that have an average, somewhat normal, pace; then you've got others that are extremely fast paced, crammed full of too much to keep up with. You've some episodes that try to supply this series with an over-arcing plot, then you've got some episodes that are just completely random and have no plotting at all. It's all over the place. |

Apology said: The plot became very tangled and difficult to understand. Weekend wants Evermillion or Evermillion's magic power and she used Medusa and Chronoire to destroy the seals imprisoning Evermillion. Before she could make a move herself though, she had to get Kazane, an immensely powerful Witch, out of the way. And now Ayaka knows the face of the one who destroyed Honoka's chance for a normal life so now they will fight. Whats so difficult to understand about that? |

On the series as a whole, it seems the pacing is completely out of whack, not synchronized at all. I am glad you stuck with it, I was waiting for your opinion, was just about to message you :-) I have to disagree with you though, the magical contract while not explained obviously has been part of this show from the very beginning. This explains why the Workshop Witches never killed the Tower Witches (even though they probably deserve to be killed (in that they have no worries about hurting people)), this is why they could explode the tallest skyscraper in the city without consequences. One would think that witches blowing up stuff all around the town would have proven the existence of witches, but now we know why no one has heard of them (though it seems like every single woman in town is a witch - and I think that is deliberate as well - Fritz Leiber anyone?). What this show doesn't worry about is explaining things at the beginning, it seems rushed because the author wants most people to not think about the background until he is ready to explain it. The animation crew also does a good job at this (for instance this episode when Takamiya created giant nurse Kagari, for the first time people DID see the magic, this should have ramifications later, but they underplayed it here). This work is a good example of alternative plotting. The writer is using a hyper style to keep peoples interest while he slowly explains how this world works. When we discussed this a couple of episodes back I had said that I felt a plot working beneath the surface, this episode was the first glimpse that the writer does have one, and I fully expect the next couple of episodes to prove this. I actually have to agree that as an explanation for the events in question, yes, this does indeed work. It works fairly well, actually. However, it doesn't feel legit. It seems more like it's been thrown in at the last minute because the writer let things get out of hand, and not so much as an actual plot device. I can see the plot they've put together in this episode, using Weekend as a "big bad" that's manipulated the previous villain-types. If all of this had been played correctly, this episode would have wrapped everything in a nice little bow and paved the way for the final episodes. Instead, it just does not feel legit and comes out feeling rushed and random. It would have been a simple matter to develop these plot devices in the background without giving anything away too early, and would have made this episode much greater. |

| 5/5 Takamiya no ecchi!!! XD The plot begins to accelerate and looming clash noteworthy (?). The narrative loses the humor expressed so far, but it compensates with the seriousness that so much was expected. The character design that I love so much, this time back again to shine thanks to the drawings returned to previous levels! Hooray! I hope you get to do a new series, with new characters that are actually exploited in a manner befitting. |
 |
| I dont understand Ayakas dream,so a mature takamiya showed up and fortune told her? wut? Overall good ep. |
 |
| Fantastic ep. This show needs a S2. |
| Good episode. Nice face punch |
 |
| after they beat the crap out of that new villain she will act like nothing happened just like Medusa and the other loli... I guarantee it |
 |
| Started slow, last 3/4 of the episode was great. |

 |
| Pretty awesome episode! I really like where this is going! |
 |
| The city is suffering from all these explosions and battle xD seems like MC is going to be powerful soon |
 |
| On GOD you are telling me that when faced with a life or death situation and forced to use magic, Takamiya familiar that HE thought up of to SAVE him was a fucking giant Kagari clone in a NURSE OUTFIT? I would understand if it was a giant Kagari familiar since she kinda just saves his ass 24/7, but in a nurse outfit? I do not think i've ever laughed so fucking hard in my entire life watching an anime holy shit. I also lost it when its only move, its only purpose besides saving Takamiya, was to punch in a random direction that just had to be where Kuraishi and her gang were. Can the gang please get a W just once? What an introduction for the antagonist, plants a bomb that can blow the entire city up, introduces herself for negotiation before taking out the head workshop witch of the city in minutes during said negotiations. The full workshop is shown as well as some of the unseen members, but things get complicated as everyone prepares for a last stand against Armageddon. |
