| Good news! Such a fine series getting animated. |
 |
| Fantasy? yes, slice of life? eh |
 |
| Looks great. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| Slice of life with a witch MC? Interesting. This could be fun. |
| It's going to be hit or miss, mostly depending on the budget really. Maybe get Junichi Sato up in this. |
 |
| Daaamn, those are some fine legs. |
 |
| Slice of Life is always fine with me :) While I'm not a huge fan of witches, I really like the quiet rural setting of this. |
| seems interesting |
| I love it, as long as there's no unnecessary drama. |
 |
| I agree. It seems rather interesting to be, and the fact that she is a witch has piqued my interest a bit more. So adding to PTW list. |

HaXXspetten said: more like Flying Bitch amirite LMAO why? Anyways. i'll have to wait for more info to see if i'm gonna watch this. |
 |
| this one sounds really intriguing. will watch for sure! |
 |
| If this is anything like Aria, Barakamon, or Yotsubato then I'll definitely enjoy it. A nice comfy, soothing series. Let's hope it doesn't get bogged down by any fanservice or other blatant otaku pandering nonsense. Simply pleasant series are hard to come by nowadays. Also, since it's airing on NTV, I'm just taking a wild guess here and thinking that maybe Madhouse might be doing it. Let's hope so. |

| Fantasy slice of life is always welcome so I'm excited to see this. Hope it will retain the atmospheric setting and mood of the manga. |

Let's hope it doesn't get bogged down by any fanservice or other blatant otaku pandering nonsense. The manga had nothing of the sort and I doubt they'll try stuffing animu with that. Choosing among the recent series, it's quite not unlike Non Non Biyori. |

I really do hope this is one of those rare and unique type SoL anime, or else I'll cry if it fits into a genric fanservice type instead :/If this is anything like Aria, Barakamon, or Yotsubato then I'll definitely enjoy it.

| I'd always wanted to read this, but didn't. Glad there's an anime coming out, will watch |
| Looks cute ^_^ |
| Seriously? Awesome! I completely didn't expect that. I think this might be my favourite slice of life comedy because even the jokes are so chill. It's kinda deadpan, but kinda not. People don't just underreact because whatever happened was too weird for words. Maybe it was, but really, they're cool with it. I hope the anime doesn't screw it up by underlining the punchlines too much. Hongu said: It really shouldn't, unless the studio adds it. I don't remember any gratuitous nudity or weirdly erotic poses and camera angles at all.Let's hope it doesn't get bogged down by any fanservice or other blatant otaku pandering nonsense. Simply pleasant series are hard to come by nowadays. And if they do mess it up, you can just read the manga. I think it's super pleasant. ichii_1 said: Literally none.I love it, as long as there's no unnecessary drama. |

| looks good |
 |
| As a reader of the manga this is great news! :D |
| It's LWA SoL that i've always wanted, i'm curious. |
 |
| Interesting, really looking forward to it. |
| Cool Japanese anime version of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. |
| Those hips she has are lovely It needs the entire staff of Tamayura to make this turn out well. |

| Only TYO Animations aka HAL Film Maker could make this a successful anime. |
 |
| Anyone that's expecting this to be some generic RomCom with typical fanservice bs, prepare to be disappointed. This series is relaxing af, I always find myself excited to read the newest chapter despite how..."paced" this Manga is. This is going to be relaxing to check out~ Though now I only really question exactly how far they're going to go given that the Manga translations themselves aren't very far...@_@ |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| I wonder if this is the new NTV-madhouse show that will replace Ore monogatari on NTV's wednesday anime block. :-) Anyway, the sypnosis sounds interesting. I'll try watching the first few episodes when this comes out. I like calm, soothing atmospheric series. |

| Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse. Now take a look at Berserk (2016). YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO CRY. |
| I remember reading the one shot, it was pretty decent. |
