They are, however, very rare. Unless you attend WNBA games.

... or maybe you will bounce of her rock hard abs! :-p this is an assumption (if Miakasa can, Kagari can do better IMO) , so far there has been no beach or hot springs episode (damn!) and at the compressed rate this is going there will be no filler (hopefully they will make a filler ova with said fanservice episode

Just in case, a male witch is called a Warlock (albeit I do not remember that word being used in the manga). But who knows, maybe you have already turned another forum member into a newt, we will have to throw you into a lake to see if you are made out of wood. Why? Because nobody expects the spanish inquisition!

I don't think the Japanese term for witch is gender-specific.

You know, just looking at the OP there seem to be way too many characters to meaningfully develop in a one-cour series.

Homu-homu~

As for being "compressed" I really hope they adapt what material they have available and wrap it up with an ending that makes sense. In other words don't have a non-ending but don't tie thing up so tightly that nothing could come afterwards. I hope they find a natural "breaking point".

And I eagerly anticipate my fanservice OVA.

I noticed that too. Maybe we'll get a season 2 someday once the manga's progressed.

Well, at least not for main characters, I'm happy with that variation.

Well, I was referring to the situation surrounding Kagari at school but sure, thanks for the reassurance.

Somebody please correct me If I am wrong but I think the manga/anime is using the english term ウィッチ instead of the japanese ones 魔法少女/魔女 which makes sense since they are going with the full hats/brooms/familiars paraphernalia western witches are known to use.

This is where the skills of the adaption team will shine (or come crashing in flames *cough* Maoyū Maō Yūsha *cough*).

What you meant flew over my head until I thought about if for a little bit. I was referring to my "I wouldn't mind just being her friend" line since it would hurt to be friendzoned if she existed. I haven't found many anime characters like Kagari so I was quite taken with her...well, as much as you can think a drawing is attractive in a rational way.

I was basically saying that I wouldn't let my anger that she wouldn't reciprocate my feelings cloud my judgement...or Grief Seed.

This of course calls for a Genshiken reference! *insert maniac laughter here*

These two statements aren't mutually exclusive. I'm not sure I agree, but I defend your right to want both.

[Sinestra]

I found the first episode very enjoyable and i love things are not always what they seem. I had some very good laughs and i happen to think the animation is nicely put together. I couldnt help but to crack up at the army of mechanized bunnies lol. Im thinking i like this so much because it kind of reminds me of Maburaho.

Spoiler for Episode 2:

The second episode is going pretty interesting. I like that although somewhat odd for a show with lot of female characters, most of them are basically enemy pawns that tries to target the main pairing, it was hilarious. I like that Honoka's bond with Kagari is pretty good and isn't overfilled with jealously from other females and enjoy spending together, especially Kagari who shows indifference towards anyone (other than Honoka) and prefers them to shut up. I love the animation and everything that the show had (the fight scenes are majestic), it's very great for a show of its genre and it had a chance of becoming my season' major surprises.

Spoiler for episode 2:

Awesome episode. Those tower witches are hilarious. Nice ED additions as well, I was thinking there was a lot of extra background space so I'm not surprised they are adding the characters as they appear. I'm very glad that they are sticking so closely to the manga (even burst out laughing that they added the picture scene after the ED). While Kagari's fire isn't exactly how it was depicted in the source I did notice they are starting to add little details to the fire animation (and faces lol). Also, it's a lot of fun trying to see how many times Takamiya's sister is placed somewhere in the background. I only spotted her twice in the first episode but I've lost count of how many times she showed up by the end of this episode. Ugh, the wait for episode 3 will kill me.

[Flower]

Well, ep 2 was not all that bad, I guess - maybe a bit more interesting than ep 1. Maybe.

Some time back someone told me they felt this series was more of a "battle manga" style work, and I guess I can see a little more of that if it is so.

Still not completely convinced yet....

[Myssa Rei]

Before people blow things out of proportion, no, they're not after his "white stuff", you pervs. I think the term that SHOULD have been used is "white thing".

Oh, and it should have been "Like Mario's star (aka Mario with the star power up)" heh.

And I hope people paid attention to who was tailing Honoka and Kagari this time.

[Solace]

Yeah the translations were slightly off. It's not crafting witch, it's workshop witch. The play on words falls a bit flat otherwise.

Other than that, I think things actually improved this episode. The pacing felt a bit smoother, although the comedy is still a bit flatter than the manga. Kagari's special effects are far better here, they even used the mini fire elementals.

All things considered, I'm impressed that JC Staff is handling this so well.

[Myssa Rei]

That box following them around too. It makes things less "wait, you did what during when again?", unlike what happened in the manga. Nicely done JC Staff.
