That bag of air who is also known as the main of this anime just keeps getting more annoying, first he lets himself get beaten up and know he is trying to save someone from getting beaten up.
First try to take care of yourself before helping someone else.


So he cared enough to help somebody else? I don't get it, people will argue that Hiyori from Noragami is a saint for pushing somebody out of the way of an incoming car but will call Takamiya a spineless loser even though he does things like save the little girl in the mall from getting killed (by whatever it was, I forgot) and decides to learn magic so he won't be helpless.


Haters will be haters. If everyone in this world follow Aversa's logic then this world would be a hell hole..

On to the episode, there's really not much happening here except to reaffirm that Kagari is way OP lol.. I love this series for making a mockery of the traditional damsel-in-distress cliche. For once the "damsel" is a boy and I kept laughing how he acted like a typical damsel although in a more manly way. Him sleeping on Kagari's shoulder just nailed it lol...

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Really enjoying this series so far, can overlook that CGI for the moment.

Kagari taking pictures made me laugh, and the gender-role swap is interesting, Takamiya falling asleep on Kagari's shoulder.

That ED is too sticky, I'm like "Witchy, witchy" for days after watching this series.

From anime one would get the impression that japanese teenagers don't take lightly to people who get close to the "beautiful people". Talk about hate mail directed against him.

Liked it overall aside from that witch with no pupils. It just annoys me for some reason. At least the plots moving forward to some extent.

So, doing normal school work and playing tennis is training to become a witch? Magic must not be as great as we're being led to believe. But, that aside, this is still my 3rd pick for the season. It was an OK episode, loved the green flames and transformation on the bus. Kagari is such a beast, and Takamiya is such a bitch.

I think the best part of this series is that ED though, it's the only anime I actually watch all the way through the ED. It's catchy and quite hilarious.

The "Bad Witches" are multiplying like cockroaches, there are just too many to keep up with now; and they never last more than one hit from our awesome OP female lead.

Taking into consideration that his little sister has been stalking them, see previous episode, and that the previews for next week reveal her to be a witch. Also, during the bus scene, Chronoire was dropping some hint's about Takamiya and Kagari having some kind of history that he doesn't remember. So, I'm only making guesses here using the cliches and formulas these types of anime seem to follow, but: Takamiya was some kind of great super-bad ass, like a prodigy or something. And, Kagari served under him before he "lost" his powers and memories. Or, something happened to her and he sacrificed his power and memory to save her and that is why she "contracted" to protect him with her life. Either way, he was powerful and for some reason lost that power or gave it up, and when he did he lost his memory of ever having that power or being part of that world.

I may be overthinking it and confusing myself, but it's probably something along those lines. The training won't be enough, Kagari will get in trouble because of him, and he'll have to eat the candy. The candy will give him his power back, and his memory most likely, and then he'll save Kagari for once and super show off what kind of bad ass he really is. Although, as I said that is using the normal cliches/formulas for my predictions, so I'm hoping I'll be wrong and it'll super be something cool.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

It was a good episode and had some cute moments between Akari and Takamiya. I really like their chimestry and i love when she always save his ass from the danger.

I'm truly enjoying this show so far. I really love the humor, it's very funny, especially the group of tower bitches witches headed by the girl with neko ears that always make me laugh. xD

The ED is pretty damn catchy

if only takamiya was more of a ordinary guy instead of that super wimp. it really bothers me how in anime there are just two extremes. the main character who is a god at everything for no reason or the guy that cannot do the most basic things.

you do not need to regularly play tennis to atleast know some basic stuff and hit a ball once.


again awesome episode though. still biggest surprise of the season for me really liking it.

If Takamiya loses his fiery sense of justice and grew some balls (maybe lose the inner retard while he's at it), this anime would improve exponentially.

-> Doesn't want Kagari to get hurt for him

-> Continues to brainlessly dive into dangerous situations, putting both him and Kagari at unforeseen risk.

Please. Please tell me more about how you're making any sense, Takamiya.

Beautiful, a history of serious witchcraft, but also a lot of fun. Nice plot, you will discover little by little chores that need, good! ^ _ ^
Narration sliding, very interesting viewing.
Optimal design and animation bad. The CG perhaps a little too obvious, but you can forgive, given the very good work done by JC Staff!
I can not wait to see the next episode! * _ *

I like the ending too! XD

I'm surprised they're still keeping us in the blue here. Usually animes would usually tell you by now why Takamiya is so special.

I love the characters in this anime. The random big headed servent and the crocodile bodyguard. The fishes just swimming in the air sorta the reminds me of the subtle random backgrounds of the witche's labyrinths in Madoka Magica.

The flying scenes were pretty neat.

I still don't really understand the white stuff thing, but it seem important enough.

Now Takamiya can do a bit more than cruling in Kagari arms :P

Honoka received RARE CANDY.
Honoka put the RARE CANDY in the drawer.


Chronoire finally explains to Honoka the secrets to Ayaka's overwhelming power. He also receives a "present" from her... the rest is about his apprentice training which wasn't bad considering how I usually dislike those types of episodes. Haven't noticed any major deviations from the manga yet.

Visually striking episode. Especially during Chronoire's scene. Lots of... psychedelic visuals. Awesome transformation scene for Ayaka.

I have to praise the choice of voices for the mains, too. I'm already on Ep. 3 and I couldn't find any bones to pick regarding how the VAs sound compared to how I thought the characters would sound when I was just reading the manga. Good choices.

Damn, that preview is one huge spoiler though...
