Really liked it but damn, ongoing manga at 153 chapters. Will prolly pick it up after the anime if it proves fun enough.

I'll throw in a couple cents and say you definitely should. Thus far, the manga seems to be the most detailed and entertaining out of the 3. If you like the anime, you'll absolutely love the manga.

GDiddy · 2015-04-13, 20:22

It was okay; I was thinking of reading the manga but I'll give this a few more episodes.

Master_Yoma · 2015-04-13, 20:58

Well not to bad of a start but with only 12eps hopefully it wont be to rushed

Netto Azure · 2015-04-13, 22:41

Dang, I loved this series since it came out a few years back. Nice start for the series, still can't get over Yamada's hair color after all this time. XD

And just like in the Live Action...The Voice actors are so talented in expressing so many different personalities. XD

Malicre · 2015-04-14, 12:53

Nah, the manga still has its moments. The last few chapters in particular have been excellent.

MagicaLideaL · 2015-04-14, 20:58

I didn't expect someone else to find out their secret in just episode 1. Well, they got to be lucky that the third person is not someone with bad intention. Then I realized the anime comes with the name seven witches which means there are going to be many more to come. Things escalate so fast lol.

I see you have posted twice on this within the span of a page of posts in the anime thread. No offense meant, but I don't see the need to keep repeating your view and your disappointment especially about a future content segment which clearly will be not be in the anime and only the manga readers will understand. I think it's fine and still acceptable if you feel frustrated and want to let some steam out about how you feel about the manga. But is there really a point to repeating it again with no added value in your posts in just the span of a page in the thread?

And I beg to differ. The 2nd part wasn't bad; it didn't go downhill in my book; it just wasn't as good as the 1st part in terms of 'refreshingness'. The first part was faster pace, the second part gives more focus to characters and it seems a little draggier and more 'meandering'. But if you go through the chapters carefully, you can still see 'links' of the plot that pan out across the chapters. In this respect I would say it's no worse than Fairy Tail, and in the respect of 'dragginess', it's 100x better than Nisekoi imo. I do also have some gripes about certain development, but I can understand why. At any rate, we should continue this discussion in the manga thread.

Complaints from manga readers aside, and from what I've seen, most anime-only watchers are loving the hell out of this show so far so let's not ruin it for them you guys

Draco Spirit · 2015-04-15, 07:13

Nice opening episode, still not explained the whole witch thing in the title yet... but hey it episode 1.

DragoonKain3 · 2015-04-15, 10:10

Nope still don't think Hayami is the one for 'normal' Shiraishi. Don't get me wrong, she's a perfect fit for her other main roles this cour in Seraph and Oregairu, and I think she did a great job as Yamada-in-Shiraishi's-body. But Hayami was the last voice I imagined while reading the manga as a bookish, reserved, anti-social girl. XD

Oh well, I'll wait until Asuka (<3) is shown before I drop this.

chaos_animagic · 2015-04-15, 18:10

love this series.

Yamada is seriously funny, lol

Tho some ppls are right, the "first part" of the series is the good one. (basically season 1)

And the "second part" kinda become boring. (basically season 2)

Wild Goose · 2015-04-16, 20:36

Having not read any of the manga, let me just say this:

I've watched the first episode about 4-5 times now.

I thought it was fun, and I'll be following the show for the rest of the season.

Also, I really like the OP. It all flows together for me: the composition, the art, and the song. It's something greater than the sum of its parts.

The best part of the up is towards the end, when Yamada grabs Shiraishi's hat, and she shyly tugs the brim down and they kiss. Brought a smile to my face, that was so cute.

Spoiler for My Speculations based on the opening:

Did felt rushed though.

Stark700 · 2015-04-19, 12:04

Episode 2:

I think I lost the # of kisses this episode. This show already surpassed (in quantity) any other series' this season/year in that number most likely lol. Not sure how I feel about Ito though this episode. She does bring in a lot of energy into this series though and some of her personality reminds me of Haruhi.

sikvod00 · 2015-04-19, 12:39

Some of these VAs shouldn't be voicing high school kids.

Haak · 2015-04-19, 12:45

You mean like Takaya Kuroda and Daisuke Ono? I completely agree.

sikvod00 · 2015-04-19, 12:58

^ Yeah. The show seems to be stacked with A-list, well-known VAs, most who are probably phoning it in. But there's no point if they just sound ridiculous for their roles.

ginger02 · 2015-04-19, 13:34

lol i really love this show. Pretty much most things about it, including the OP.

The pacing seemed a tad fast in this episode, but pacing issues tend to be an issue the first 2-3 episodes anyway.

Note the hat - her hat - and the thorny vines that connect them. He's wearing the hat, she's holding it, suggesting that he took her powers. The rest of the girls with witchy hats are obviously the rest of those witches. __________________ One must forgive one's enemies, but not before they are hanged.Heinrich Heine. *I believe in miracles.* Order of Freelance Mages (Goose's Nanoha OC Project)
