Hopefully the anime does get to that point, but yeah, there's a reason why Workshop Witches are so powerful.

Also, LOL at Kuraishi and her friends hitting the Karaoke turning into a running gag (though I do like how it ties in somehow with the ending animation, mikes and all). I think they only did that ONCE in the manga.

This is in fact a plot point.

but maybe that is because of the massive power gap between the two groups. (30 tower witches vs. 5 workshop witches, and the workshop witches aren't that worried)

Well for one the Workshop group isn't the ones trying to kill the MC and are stated to be keeping normal people safe from rouge magic. Just remember that good isn't the same as nice.

Oh wow, first thing that flew into my head when i saw that cross counter:
Hajime no Ippo announcer: MIIIGGGIIIIII~!!! Epic, epic punch and an equally epic sister. So fearsome in her love of her big brother. Of course she'd pull out all the stops - unlike Kagari, who feels as though she has an unnatural compulsion to protect Honoka, Kasumi has family ties on top of her given mission as a Workshop Witch. Which means that lil Kasumi will wreck you if you mess with her brother.

Good fight between Bearzilla, Mechabunnyzoid and Bone-raptor. Great wrestling moves, I liked the clothesline and giant swing. It was a laugh at how Mechabunnyzoid deceived Bearzilla with that puppy dog eyes act.

It is Teddybearzilla... he can be get angry on you if you continue to spell his name wrong...

AGear2Ax · 2014-01-28, 14:03

I see... So what I asked is a plot point that maybe will be explained later in the anime, If the manga chapter that explains it gets adapted.

Some people seem to be assuming that, but I saw no proof one way or another of what it was eating.

Actually according to the next episode preview, the Bear's name is Macaron.

DragoonKain3 · 2014-01-28, 18:21

What the hell was that? Frigging hilarious, that's what, even though I have next to no idea what's happening. I mean, imouto just leveled a good poriton of the city with a Kaiju fight between a rabbit, a bone lizard, and a bear, but no casualty and the residents don't see anything? XD

Overall, imouto was a pleasure to watch. Then again, I might just be biased since it's the typical rivalry between childhood friend and the sister, and it's been a while since the latter is on the losing end.

But if Kagari is a witch and her mom is too, then if imouto is a witch then Honoka's mom must be one too? Interesting...

It's weird though, I see resemblance between imouto and Chrono, and have to double take each time either appears to determine who is who. I recognize the difference between the two faster by their voices lol.

Dekomori Sanae · 2014-01-28, 21:49

They should've introduced Honoka's little sister much sooner... now things are starting to get interesting

Anyway, things got a bit clearer now after episode 4.

I don't see how you can still perpetrate this absurd bs after ep. 4 with a straight face... it seems you have totally lost any grasp on reality XD
This was already questionable before, but now, after ep. 4, even the last bit of credibility in this sentence totally went out of the window.

While the Tower witches may have a big mouth, they're mostly harmless. Their mech rabbits and bone dinosaurs are just trifling matters and hardly caused any damage.
The Workshop witches however are quite another thing and are anything but harmless. The immense damage they caused really is staggering. I think you could regard Ayaka and Kasumi (Honoka's little sister) as a magic version of the Dirty Pair - at least in terms of damage caused

The burning question right now, after ep. 4, is...
Who is keeping the ordinary people safe from the epic destruction caused by the Workshop witches? Natural disasters are nothing against them.
It's a miracle that no one got harmed during that massive city levelling... except probably for that poor llama

Master_Yoma · 2014-01-28, 22:11

Honoka really is being so whipped both by his sister and by Ayaka

It's quite difficult to respond to this as it would be spoilers. Like others have said, all in due time.

My advice? Watch the first episode again, in particular what happens after Kagari and Tanpopo's fight.

AGear2Ax · 2014-01-28, 23:42

Well, the alligator's master (Chrono what? VI) in episode 3 said that her barrier was about to dissapear. Probably they are setting a special kind of barrier (alternate reality zone, reality marble, magic's zone?) but, why the people are protected but the buildings get destroyed regardless of that?

Oh well... Let's wait for the proper explanation then.

It makes for interesting comparision that IRL we have neutron bombs that destroy people but leave building intact.

Having a formidable girlfriend ad a formidable imouto are something any guy would like to have.

Like for example, the damage done to the school building during Tanpopo and Kagari's fight and the next day everything is fine as if nothing has happened? Suddenly, I have an idea of how the damage was repaired... with magic! If magic destroys it, magic can repair it too, isn't?

Really? That would just mean that the guy is inferior and can never be an equal imo. Relationships last due to equality imo.

Tanpopo said the falling clock tower was just an illusion to test whether Honoka was a threat. Once she ascertained he was useless, she felt it was safe enough to show herself to kidnap him.

In any case, it is inferred the Workshop Witches do clean up the damage from their magical battles. The chairwoman took the call after the city devastation and said they would take care of it.
