/a/ - Animu & Mango

>>765430

I thought the same thing. If I hadn't read the manga I think I'd have been confused as to what had even happened.

>>765430

>>765439

I haven't read the manga and it did indeed feel somewhat lacking. I mean, I understood what has happened but I also quickly forgot about it afterwards.

>>765439

I was confused. I was actually watching it with a buddy and they said 'what just happened' and I said 'I think she punched the wall but she's over it now'. Please advise if this is correct.

>>765439

I was confused too, had to wind it back and try comprehending it again.

>>765439

As a non-manga reader I followed it, its essentially the "hot blooded but weak heart" comment from earlier played out.

Episode 10 was okay.

>>767749

Just okay really. I feel like this show is meant to be watched in one sitting, not a lot happened this episode.

>>765430

My complaint about episode 9 is that Angelica tells Chise that she needs to learn to depend on other people more then Angelica tells Chise that she's being overly dependent. Pick one, bitch.

And here I thought all that "Skinwalker"-talk was just jokes.

>>769834

Not really though.

She needs to be more willing to ask for help, but less willing to just let Elias decide everything for her. Or, rather, she need's to make her own decisions, but understand that she can't do everything alone. It's not contradictory - it's just that Chise is a bit fucked up.

Is it me or does everything looks nice but boring? Kind of visiting theme park.

Characters are exposed but they were since 1st episode. Fairy tales are nice but usually they have more substance to it. They were about the story which just accidently had magic in it to lure kids. Traditional world of magic/fantasy or rather folklore is nice change of pace compared to "modern" anime but they do need a better story and characters.

>I was unwanted child and now I am thankful to a guy who rescued me from shit life

>also I am good looking and generally nice

Is this really the whole characterization you need? Was it told even once why she is not bitter? Why is she so trusting after a few nice words and a fucking bath? You cant have fucking apathy and appreciation(or any strong emotion for that matter) at the same time.

She was fucking kidnapped by a fucking dragon and all she felt was "well, this is kind of unexpected, but not overly so."

And the plot "you are going to die!!! unless author decides not to kill you, because author did not established any rules". Of course author decides everything, but author supposed to create some illusion of fairness. If its decided fucking offscreen its fucking irrelevant.

This anime is basically "parent brings his new adopted daughter to Disneyland before she dies of cancer".

>>770502

>>769834

Its not a contradiction because woman think this way all the time.

>>771055

Have you watched the OVA?

Manga chapter 42 just got released. In the manga she not only has magic cancer, but also dragon cancer.

Whoever said that this anime wasn't healing is a tasteless swine.

>>772887

Every episode feels like drinking fresh chicken soup.

Fucking recap episode. Honestly why even bother, just skip a week if you've run out of time.

>>767860

I know, right?

I really can't say I've enjoyed any other series more than this, when it comes to fantasy. Plus, Chise is goddamn adorable. I fucking hate romance shit but for once there's none of the shit I hate, and it's amazingly good. Is this how it starts?

>>765354

This shit better have a happy ending, or no ending at all.

Anybody get a plague doctor vibe from mr ancient magus?

>>778916

I think he's saying that sheep grow fleece, not that they grow fleece by absorbing coldness.

So how does this tie in with the OVA?

Do I watch the OVA then this?

I just got to the end of the Manga (Atleast until they release a new chapter)

Fuck, I did not need this. Why did Chise turn into such a retard suddenly, and why is Elias not committing his full strength here? Goddamnitt.

So something stupid apparently happens in the manga. Is it something really dumb?

>>780409

Yes, it's really dumb. Now go back to reading MIA faggot.

The cliffhangers at the end of every episode are getting annoying

>>781256

>>781206

Thats one powerful jar.

So, is the quality enough to not be laughable compared to the mango? If yes, I might try it.

Redcurrant and Joel's whole arc makes for a really good monstergirl story.

>>781261

Are you looking for quality or QUALITY? Because I'd say the show looks rather nice.

I didn't really read the manga, past the first few chapters at least, but I'm really enjoying the animu.

>>781261

See >>777721. It follows the manga very closely.

>>777654

Looks exactly like the Moving Castle.

How long is this season? 24 episodes? For some reason I really want to see this but not until it's all released.

>>783961

They are going way too quick through all the arcs.

>>783974

If they get up to near where the manga is, you'll regret that decision.

Only a few hours until episode 16. Christmas is coming.

>>786278

...Well, that was a disappointment.

>>783961

Silky is the purest of meidos

>>786778

Drugs are not consumed for their taste.

>>784000

Why?

>>788519

The worst kind of Cliffhanger.

>>786798

>Left to Right

What the fuck is this shit?

>>791443

The characters are mentioned to all be speaking English in-universe, and that page is her diary, so the author wrote it English-style.

>>796342

Not melting fast enough. Though I suppose you can never melt one fast enough.

>>796948

Is the author of this Manga - dare I say it - /oneofus/?

I haven't watched it since episode 12 and finally caught up with the anime.

Man, I really enjoy everything about this series. Too bad there's some smug fucks in this thread that can't stop spoiling- or at least giving hints about- the manga. Guess I won't re-visit the thread before the series is over.

And that's why people said it wasn't a healing anime.

Now she's got magic cancer and dragon aids.

>>801228

Episode 21... her Beta provider, despite being literally monster, has exhibited One-nitis and clingyness, Chise gets pissed off and decides to join mass murdering Psychopath kid.

>>801210

Chise = AWALT. And I used to like her.

>>801316

>getting red-pilled by a girl brainwashed by the Juden

Don't let your memes be dreams.

I am wondering how the series will end. It will at most take 2 episodes to catch up to the manga. Really makes you wonder...

>>801483

I haven't read the last couple chapters partly for that reason. The last part I read was Chise and the Jew seeing eye-to-eye. I'm not sure how the show's going to end.

>>801483

>>801487

I think they're intentionally timing it up in such a manner that show watchers and manga viewers will be "surprised" by the "finale" at the same time.

>>803348

Jeez, Chise's eyes are GIGANTIC.

>>805441

I wanna be one of loli-Titania's many lovers!

So that's it, huh?

I guess they're not planning on continuing on with a Season 2, or at least, not for a number of years. But at least it was a good run.

>>807391

>But at least it was a good run.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the feel of the series. The second part of the last episode was a heartwarming/healing marathon.

I'm glad this show is over. It wasn't the worst thing in the world, it at least had some nice animation and music, but for the most part it was boring drivel that I could barely tolerate for 24 minute lengths. There were definitely good parts, but the monotony dragged it down overall for me.

It was ok, I liked it when it was problem solving in magical problems but things got less entertaining after the Christmas episode.

I was mostly worried about her eye.

I think they went with general direction of anime. It could be good show for kids, it could be good show for kids with general old fairy tale lessons. But they decided to go with mix of things which will work great for kids and mixed some 18+ bullshit which are bad/useless for kids show. I personally mostly liked it in general, but I think kids would loved it if they adapted it for them. Amount they spend on visuals is insane. Its wasted on you, nerds.

>>807827

I'm not too clear on it either.

In general the show was better in the parts that didn't focus much on him.

>>807827

They threw him down a well with some pillows and showed him some Yuru camp, so now he is too comfy to act.

>>807827

The bigger question is what the deal with Ashen Eye was. That, and how easily the Elias + Ariel team-up managed to absolutely wreck him, in spite of how easily he trapped Elias earlier.

I wonder if Cartaphilus will end up escaping in the manga, or if Ashen Eye will end up becoming the new major villain moving forward.

>>808176

>Elias + Ariel team-up managed to absolutely wreck him, in spite of how easily he trapped Elias earlier.

Elias is magus who uses spirits as power source.

>I wonder if Cartaphilus will end up escaping in the manga

Escaping sleep?

And its not about good vs bad its about weird shit vs weird shit. Or humans vs weird shit. Fairy tales does not see wolfs who eat humans in a forest as the ones who responsible for their death. Its humans fault for going in the forest.

Also if you wonder why Ashen Eye did what he did, its because he could. Forest creatures often represent justice and danger. If you are greedy, they will lure you to your demise. If you are smart you can outwit them or simply impress them and even earn their favor. Or you can just beat the shit out of them if you are strong enough. Basically he fuck around because he has nothing better to do than to fuck around with people, like any other trickster god. Not to say that any other fey-creature are to be trusted. They are not human, they dont think like human, they are not like you or me.
