| A witch of the forbidden forest? How bizarre. She didn't seem malevolentor anything at first glance but also seemed strange. Also, it looks like she is familiar with Tinasha. Tinasha's wits and wisdom came to play again. She's kinda carrying this show imo with her personality. This anime is also opening more opportunities for world building as well from ths latest episode. |

| Tinasha is introduced to Oscar's father the king, despite being the Witch of the Blue Moon, their relationship feels close in front of them. Still, both him and Lazar going into the woods to investigate a series of killings, only to be found by Lucrezia the Witch of the Forbidden Forest, she's also a real handful and a friend of Tinasha's, despite her helping them find out the root cause of the investigation. For sure, because of Lucrezia, Oscar starts seeing hallucinations, and this raises Tinasha's suspicions of a lover attached to him. Upon her knowing that it's Lucrezia, her spell that leeches his life force during his sleep, in trade of sexual interactions that's all in the head, there's no simple way to remove it than to break the spell from within. However, the spell was reversed to make it look like he's trying to kill Tinasha by breaking her neck, which thankfully brought him back to his senses. A wise game plan to make romance out of Oscar and Tinasha, that's Lucrezia for you, especially with her sexual hoarding. That said, will they ever progress their romance? |

| What is this horrible writing? Are we skipping a ton of original novel/manga or what? |
| I can't pinpoint why but the episode felt very awkwardly written and paced. Might drop it if the next couple of episodes aren't better. They really glossed over the deaths too |
| The witches in this series are attractive to say the least but I didn't like what Lucrezia did although I guess it was her way of entertaining herself and eventually seeing Tinasha. Speaking of Tinasha, even though she says she won't marry Oscar I think she does care for him and maybe she'll have a change of heart as this series progresses. |
| I think it's interesting that Tinasha and Lucrezia are both kind of neutrally coded. It makes me curious about the circumstances surrounding the witch that put the curse on the family since that witch is likely not evil. |
| Lazar remains annoying. When Tinasha sat on top of Oscar and he hugged her, my heart went doki doki. |
| New witch is pretty but a bit nasty. She really just gave Tinasha his sperm and blood and she took it like nothing lol. Also Lazar can't stop talking for one second which might get annoying soon. Sweet Tinasha x Oscar moment at the end there which was a bit surprising as I didn't think they got close enough to sit on his lap and hug. Maybe was offscreened? Anyway. |

| Lucrezia shows up and in one episode stole our hearts. They haven’t missed yet with the witches designs and personalities, and we’ve only seen a couple! If the others are as good as Tinasha and Lucrezia we’re eating good. While Lucrezia is gorgeous, that was a pretty ugly trick she played on Oscar with the erotic dreams and perfume scent. Luckily Tinasha was able to catch it before it led to a serious situation, but the dream sequence of Oscar choking out Tinasha was hard to see. Even though it was just a dream, just seeing a version of Tinasha dying like that is rough. And wtf did I hear that right? Lucrezia gave Tinasha Oscar blood and sperm lmao? They glossed over that like it was no big deal. I do really like how this series handles some topics like sex with so much maturity. Characters don’t get all flustered when intercourse is mentioned, it’s just a passing statement and we’re on to the next subject. The characters also behave really mature in general, like Oscar and Tinasha making up at the end thanks to her apology. Such a cute moment between the two. Lore wise, this episode did introduce a lot of questions that I’m really anxious to have answered, particularly that comment about timelines/histories.. so are we going to be dealing with multiple timelines in this story? That’ll be interesting if so. Another great ep |

| ENGI butchering another light novel adaptation once again. This might not look ugly but the pacing and execution in general for this is very poor with so much skipped, when the foundation of the first few volumes is building Oscar and Tinasha's relationship and have that grow over time, and a focused mix of world building and learning about mysteries about witches/magic, etc. Feels like a lot is skipped all over the place, and the execution of scenes lack any punch to it to make people care and even Oscar and Tinasha's back and forth responses don't have any impact here with how the pacing and flow of the series has been. I'm not a big fan of the books but I could at least see the potential with what the author was going for there and how the setup transitioned to the bigger picture of the story, but feel like the anime adaptation has been very lazy, awkwardly paced and skips over too much to have the character relationships built like Oscar and Tinasha not quite hit at all as it should, especially with the close moments that they showed in this episode when it hasn't been built enough in the anime to have that happen and make complete sense. Way too big of a leap there without having the time truly spent to make that relationship work to be that way. The banter and general interactions is one of the key elements to this franchise and while it is there a little bit randomly, it still feels incredibly off and soulless in its execution compared to the books due to how much is sacrificed in the process to have the series end at the appropriate place in the span of 12 episodes. |
| Aw man, the pace is so confusing. What a letdown, even though this anime had a promising first episode. |

Are the books good ? Like do you think it’s more enjoyable than watching the anime.

| @ElmoBoredAsf I personally didn't like the books that much (just my own opinion) but it was significantly better than the start of the anime I would say. A lot more fleshed out and detailed, and you can see the change a lot more clearly in Oscar and Tinasha's relationship compared to how suddenly Tinasha was close with Oscar here so quickly and out of nowhere. I know friends who personally have read this and they liked it. So, if you like the characters so far and the premise on paper, I would recommend giving the books a shot at least. |
| I guess it's a bad sign that I'm not even a source reader and still thought "Damn, this is pretty off" |

| Tinasha getting jealous over her clone in his dreams getting... 😳😳😳 by him... 🫣 The witch of the forest was certainly a pervert. P.S. Rip to the guy who got killed by some antagonist. The girl with her is teleported to somewhere. I really need more world building. OwO I hope they won't skip ANYTHING. @animejas and I was hoping that it's the normal pacing. Thanks for that message. It open my mind that someone or a group of people are actually butchering another LN. It's sad to see this happening again. I was honestly hoping to know how their magic system works. Currently, both of their characters are too shallow, and most likely the anime is focusing more on the sexual aspects. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| That ending felt pretty sudden. |
 |
| last scene hard carried, that was cute. |
 |
| Somebody please just fucking kill off Lazar already, a character who's either whining in his high pitched little bitch voice or getting flustered and acting like some damsel in distress in almost 100% of his scenes, does not make for fun viewing. |
| ep 3 felt a bit weird, not sure how the light novel goes, but read a bit of the manga up to this point, and there was quite a lot of bonding moments that were skipped in anime content. Ending of the ep felt a bit forced since both chars throughout the anime hasn't really bonded much. Ep 1 was great, 2 was okay, 3 felt a bit weird to me, hopefully doesnt keep going downhill since i really enjoy the show. |
ehee47 said: mid episode unfortunately :/ personally this one felt a lil weird idk. while the premise of the whole story is a little uncomfortable for my taste, nevertheless i have been enjoying the show up till now. this one was a little off though (i'm still gonna keep watching) same. and am I blind or did she go from " don't touch em / we aren't like that / not marrying you" to hugging in the lap??😅 I ship them but damn? 😭😅🤣 |
