| Cried again, I can't even lie |
 |
| So far this is like a slightly less cynical, self-aware, and pretty Majo no Tabitabi. I doubt that it will be able to equal or surpass it, but not a bad watch as a light Majo no Tabitabi analogue. I suspect that I'd personally enjoy and get more out of it in the long run if it leaned into more of a Slice of Life "day in the life of a witch" than melodrama direction. The strongest moments of the show for me have just been Meg hanging out casually with her friend Fine and at home with her teacher/mentor. |
| I didn't realize that this series would be this touching and kind of sad but this episode was, and that's not to say that I'm not enjoying it because I am, it's just that I thought it would be more of a chill adventure and fantasy-type watch. At least it has some humous moments like Meg asking Fine to marry her lol. Anyways, hopefully Meg will find a way to collect tears of joy faster since at least a week has passed and she has 2 tears of joy and 2 other types which I think had a mix of sadness to them. |
| yeah didnt think this was actually gonna be a sad machine anime when there is already a KEY anime airing this season... my god that ending theme is so sad and somber |
 |
| I am hooked on how charming Meg is and her response to her death sentence. If this keeps up the pace, it could be one of those animes that does not win awards but is satisfying to watch. Do not sleep on this one |

Nice premise and sweet development, but I'll drop for now.
I find the writing too weak and cheesy. It's like the show is screaming "time to cry now!" but it doesn't set it up with proper buildup. I don't know Fine, why should I care for her grandpa's watch? I don't know the old lady, why should I care if she dies?
The story needs to give me something I can empathise with. Violet Evergarden had the same episodic structure, with people I didn't know every episode, and yet they managed to bring me tears because at the and of each episode I cared for them (I still have PTSD because of ep. 10).
Now, I'm not saying that every tearjerker series needs to be at the same level and has to make me cry all the time, but I'd settle for a good compromise (e.g Plastic Memories).
I can understand people being moved by this show, but unfortunately it's not for me. I'll come back to it if I have more spare time in the future.
To all the lovers of the series: I hope you'll enjoy it till the end. :)
Peace.
EDIT: I forgot to mention. The ED song is a piece of art. As soon as the extended version gets released, it goes into my favourite playlists.

| @Kyou_Ryuu Not quite at dropping, but I agree this episode was weaker. I don't mind a blatant tearjerker. There's just not much here to work with and the whole thing feels very sanitized. Grandma goes right from active and responsive to gone without any of the messy between, and we skip right over what her family is going to think about missing her last moments or what that witch was doing when grandma died so abruptly. I don't feel these characters as people. |
| Such a gentle ending - and ED song 🥹 |
 |
| Bruh, the old lady is supposed to be like a fkng 10 level witch yet she can't do shit, old woman can't even fix a damn watch 💀 The way this episode ended was way too sad bro wtf 😭 I love Meg, she is a good protagonist, her attitude is cool. I expect, if this gets more seasons until finishing it, to eventually see Meg surrounded by the reaper in the final chapters, because I doubt she will get all the drops before her very last day, the owl said she had to get 3 peer day, yet in this episode like an entire week passed and she only got 2 lol |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| It was a happy ending for that grandmother... |
