Nishi No Yoki Majo (Good Witch of the West - Astraea Testament)

[wao]

The thread's in General Anime cos the mods still haven't moved it to Fansubs...

That woman has freakish boobs. I don't like her! (Not a fan of big boobs)

[Owaranai Destiny]

Anyone read the novels? I got the manga, and it has some...complicated terms so far...^^''

[Leo_Otaku]

comlicated terms? *blink*

wao: I know hey! She is totally gonna be some snob ... looks like it anyway.

I wish more people would follow this. It seems there are more shoujo watchers here than seinen / moe.

What can I say, except lots of pretty girls in princess costumes + fairy tale setting + major weird social conventions + Hikaru Nanase music.

Count me in. Episode 1 is gorgeous; totally in love with the music. I like Roux.

On another note, when they were talking about banning knowledge and heretics, first thought that came to mind was that particular episode of Kino no Tabi. Lol.

P.S. Is it me or does A-Keep's video looks dark?

I think that maybe in part due to the lack of subs. It was certainly the case for me, as I was waiting for the show to get subbed before checking it out.

Having seen it subbed, I can safely say I will be following this show. Whether I'll actually participate in the discussion all that much is another thing. I don't usually like coming into a thread late and retreading the same old ground which is usually the case, particularly when quite a few people follow the raw versions of shows.

I think you pretty much covered all the things I liked about the show, so I won't bother repeating.

It's official,gold is raining this spring.Again,a very intresting show.I am really intrested in those "heretic science".

This one is going to be good.

Nishi no yoki majo is one of my favorite series this season. I've been following this series with chinese fansub ( they are quick in releasing episodes, however, its a pain to download a small file).

The video originally looks dark, especially episode 1 & 2. I think they are trying to produce "midieval" + fairy tale aura.

I like the music because its hikaru nanase's music. The bgm blends well with fairy tale theme.

LOL same here. :P

I liked the art, but they use too much "blush", hehe. Hope to see some nice romance (it seems like it's a Cinderella story).

西の善き魔女

episode 2 by Ureshii Fansub is out



the story develops to a very interesting plot now.

Spoiler:

but I'm a little sad that it doesn't follow the plot of the novel/manga completely;

and in the anime, it is also missing some "interesting" parts (the part i like) on the first half volume from manga.

[Apocryphal]

Seen episode 05, the red-haired nobleman and the black-haired boy is realized and it's hilarious!

Episode 3 is out

LOL NoSanninWa. Btw, I love your sig (so h264 is that good huh XD).

Ep 3
OMG hahaha Adale is a Yaoi fan~

Back to the plot, now we know that there're no witches whatsoever. I strongly think that Cisaria is the culprit. I feel like I've heard her seiyuu before... Anyone know her name? :O

Yeah. Apparently the title refers to a more mundane and very female sort of magic. I'm both disppointed and intrigued.

Her name is Mamiko Noto and she is a hotty! I know her from Girls Bravo, the wimply male lead of that show. She also voiced for a significant character, Shinji, from Full Metal Panic.

And so am I. I do have to say I would have enjoyed this show even more if the translation weren't, how do I put it... weren't so blunt. It's still a pretty good effort for a group that just started subbing. Episode 3 felt very awkward thanks to the lack of emotion, but near the end of the episode has made sure that I look forward to the next episode. Tricky animators.
