The funny thing about this series is that if the roles are reversed it'd just be another generic Gary Stu anime, but the way Kagari absolutely dominates her opposition while telling Takamiya to just stay there and let her handle everything is strangely endearing in its own way. Also, this pairing is probably the cutest of the season. I'm actually starting to take a liking to all the Tower Witches too for their eccentric personalities even as they get destroyed by Kagari.

Kagari dropping those bullets...then a deadpan BANG! Please someone gif that! She's OP as heck.

Little sister following them. I didn't think I'd laugh that hard when I saw the box behind them. Crafty imouto lmao.

I nominate the ED as the most masochistic ending sequence ever.

The ED is growing on me. It's actually pretty catchy.

There's a lot of characters introduced already....
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Not really liking the male protagonist so far, but all the girls are cute and Ayaka is super OP! That girl tried shooting her and all the bullets bounced off and Ayaka just turns around and burns her like toast lmao.

I like how colorful this anime is. Hopefully it just gets better from here on out and keeps me laughing.

Damn, Kagari showing no mercy to those Witches who are threatening Takamiya, the fact that she is so freaking powerful XD BANG! I like how Kagari is showing no emotions in front of Takamiya when talking to him, makes me laugh for some reason.

At least we get to show some information on the Witch Craft Works, and the Witches of the Tower for their motivation. Introducing Kagari's mother :D.

Well the story is still going, feels like another set episode, but can't wait to see more.

I'm a little unsure about how to feel about this show--largely I think because of the ED which juxtaposes a rather bouncy and upbeat musical theme against cutified representations of some of the most horrific instruments of torture and execution used against witches during the burning times. Like the mc, I'm also waiting for an explanation of just what the two groups of witches are after from him. At this point I just get the feeling that the pace is too fast, and somehow we're missing a lot of plot and development (unless this is going to be a multi-cour project).
Please don't feed the trolls!

Thoughts:
1:58 those math equations on the chalkboard… that's around Calculus 3, which is like sophomore college level. Super smart for high school student Kagari.

4:39 Crazy-san… great name

5:11 "the white stuff in your body-"

6:40 Kagari with all those flames… really looks like a boss

15:06 super exaggerated gigantic boob sounds

17:19 all the witch outfits look just like Touhou

------------
Overall:
1. Well, at least the plot is somewhat interesting: prevent the other witches from getting Honoka's white stuff

2. The episode was just alright. There weren't that many moments were I jump out of my couch and screamed like a loli girl. I wouldn't watch Ep2 more than 2 times. But that ED song is dam catchy. I hate myself for liking it.

Ep2: 5/10

Btw has anybody notices someone tailing Honoka and Ayaka in the alley and after they went shopping where there is a box moving from behind them?

the ED is really catchy and i agree its number 1 on the Sadistic Side, hopefully Takamiya will learn some nice fire magic from Kagari, and that part where the Box was following them around as they headed towards the school.... that was entertaining

My problem so far is that there is way too many characters being introduced, and none of the tower witches really have any difference from each other, and with them being in such vast numbers, it doesn't give much promise that they'll be able to fit it in a 12 episode series.

On the bright side there was some moments that I like from this episode(white stuff, bang) but my morale on this anime is still low.

Nope, that was how long they hadn't seen each other, they are at least 750 (and could be above 900) years old since they mention they have been witches since the crusades.

I've been enjoying this series basically due to the comicness of the tower witches, Kagari's OPness, the lingering mistery of Honoka's position in this mess and the ED but if this doesn't get outside this I'll probably drop IT, even with this strange "reversed roles" setting.

Good use of the CG's through there were some sloppy moments as when Honoka was getting to school at the beggining of the episode. Gotta compliment those koreans.

Let's see how this goes after the imouto comes in and Honoka starts learning magic.

This episode was better then the first one i even thought the main character was less annoying then he was in the first episode i dislike him tho.
And i still think he is a bag of sand not contributing much, he did help the little girl tho.

The main girl i have to say i like the stoic part about here, only thing i can complain about it the bust size but i can live with that.

Kagari was pretty awesome. I was like Oh my God are you Batman when she pulled up her cape to deflect those bullets and then she turned into Spike Spiegal with the "Bang" cant forget about the ED. I'm constantly wondering why am I watching this part though. And I was sure to notice the MGS cardboard box

At the very least this episode gives us more depth plot wise. Kagari is beyond OP though.
