Welp, that's awkward.

Hazuki starts the episode tied up....
Looks like this episode features more on expanding her life style at school. It actually seems like a pretty normal school besides the magical content. Hazuki still really has a lot to improve...

Honestly, I feel the story is pretty weak so far. I'm not feeling for it much.

Well it seems the main is adapting and it's nice to see she wasn't running the entire episode which she did last time.
There is nothing wrong with being insecure but running whenever trouble occurs is a really bad habit.
That being said maybe the main will learn a thing or two over the course of the anime and stop running from her troubles.

The fact that this is adaptation of Light Novel really stands out.

Where did they get those authors for those LNs ? Jesus.

Hazuki being tied up and teased was awkward. She may have a powerful book, but she needs to learn how to use it. This battle against another school is intriguing.

My reaction was the same as Hazuki, this is a battle-type series?

Crunchyroll plot:
his is a story about girls (called "Maedchen") who are selected by “Origin”. They attend school of witchcraft located all over the world to wield their magic and become first-rate “Origin Masters”. Their goal is to win at the annual Hexennacht competition, where representatives of each school compete in their abilities to wield their magic. The winner of the competition gets to have one wish magically granted. Due to lack of members, there were concerns that Japan might not be able to attend the annual competition this year. However, things start to change when one day Shizuka Tsuchimikado, the leader of Japan meets Hazuki Kagimura, a high school student who loves reading and daydreaming. For some reason, Hazuki, a loner who doesn’t have many friends is chosen by the Origin “Cinderella” which possesses strong power. She begins her new life at school of witchcraft. The girls practice to wield their magic with “Cinderella” to win the championship while sometimes they enjoy soaking in hot spring baths; their battles are about to start!

Hazuki's quirky magical adventure continues with this episode, where she finds out she must train for a fighting tournament between schools. I guess she really knows her anime tropes and conventions! Her development and relationship with Shizuka is exceptionally well-done and anyone who has experienced feelings of loneliness and abandonment can relate to what both girls are going through. Also, the music is beautiful!

I thought it was only for one episode so I didn't care, but this OP is one of the laziest OP I have seen. They just copied & pasted random animation from the series then slap a song on it and called it an OP.

So basically this is one of the magic battle school anime but replacing male mc harem with female mc yuri bait.

Well, I would not call it a battle magic school with qeerbaiting. Rather, it is a gratuitous parody of maho shoujo with tons of fanservice. However, as they continue to try into the plot, it may end in the end as generic story about a strong female friendship.

Take out the bait part. Just yuri.

And the real OP obviously won't show up until she transforms into Cinderella at least once, with a self-aware MC like this one they obviously know to don't spoil things in the OP.

I actually cant believe that it got adapted so soon, i mean light novel is not even a year old and it already has anime adaptation???? How much will we cover i wonder, will we even get anywhere?
As far as episode goes, i liked hamburgers moments and calling by first names moment.
LOL'd when Hazuki compared her life to harry potter or mahou shoujo but its actually a battle show :D

So far it’s an OK anime, but I don't expect much. Imo this series has a CGDCT feel so the small bits of fanservice (like running around the school naked in the previous ep? or the short gym outfits) seem kind of unnecessary.

That was... savage

I feel like this episode felt different from 1st which was more charming. This one felt rather generic.

It was okayish.
Hazuki is learning how to use magic as a start and as well as getting closer as good friends with Tsuchimikado.
3/5.

An interesting start to the episode, but I feel like the MC's voice got a bit more... irritating to listen too. Particularly when she gets loud.

Anyway, some bullying because shes the new girl and shes special and can make pumpkins and things are kind of progressing quickly... quicker than I thought it would... A bit to quick for my liking...

Just found out that fhana was the one behind the OP. Goddamnit. It sounds so good yet again, but not as good as Kobayashi-san's.

Awww. Such a cute episode with Hazuki and Shizuka being offical friends and calling each other by their first names. :)

I guess all Disney books are considered Originals and powerful? Hahaha.

That Yuuko gal. Hahaha. She's too cute to be a bully. Pfffft. And those bullies can choke. Prejudice of a bitches can choke!

Decent episode. 4/5. :D

Better than the first episode for sure, but let's be honest, it's not hard to make an episode better than the first one.
Still, the only reason I keep wathching is cause I don't like dropping and I'm damn stubborn. Not my cup of tea.

This is pretty thick in fanservice.

Why are they looking at her like she's a dumb fuck when they've not taught her anything of note yet?

EP itself was ok, very straight show that follows all the anime rules but can't find anything too obnoxious sticking out that bothers me

Feels kinda bland...?
At least Shizuka as the oldest mage family matches with Kaguya as one of the oldest stories. And seems Disney originals are powerful as ever. And stuff like Shizuka's toy gives a bit characterization, tho barely any characters are introed yet.
[random german word?] so it's another TOURNAMENT ARC??

Very funny episode.

Hazuki is learning how to use magic. Her first attempts were pure failures, but in the end she was able to summon a pumpkin, lol. That was hilarious. Well, it fits to the Cindarella story, after all.

I'm glad she became friends with Shizuka. Now she's not alone anymore. :)

Shizuka really loves hamburgers. Nom.
