| I wouldn't mind if Akko stayed a mousey for the rest of the show. |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode, more so than the last one. There was plenty of over-the-top action thanks to Amanda, quick moments of Croix being up to no good, Andrew got even more on-board with Team Akko and there was a tiny bit a world building, too. Best of all, it didn't feel as rushed as last week's episode, and there was no "forced" reward at the end. I can see why some people would dislike it. Akko should indeed recognize Croix's serpent, for example. And of course there are more plot holes, this show has been like that from the beginning. I just don't really see it as a detriment. I think it's more interesting to judge a show by the standards it sets for itself, instead of applying the same rules and expectations on every show. Though I totally understand why plot holes and other inconsistencies would break suspension of disbelief for a lot of people. I can't really ignore things like that most of the time, either. Anime is literally saved one frame at a time. |

| really liked this ep it was nice to see things focused on someone else than the usual few that they always show been honestly wanting Amanda to have more screen time and here it was now if only Constanze can get more screen time as she is my fave of that group but yeah great ep looking forward to the next |
| "one step at a time" |
| Amanda was amazing! She rocks... They are really making it seems that Akko is having a thing for the rich guy... |
 |
| I still dont know what andrew is up to. First I thought he actually liked akko, then it was like he is really annoyed by her and now he trusts and kinda supports her. Hes like a male tsundere. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Nice sword fight and animation during it. Good episode as usual. |
 |
| Akko and Amanda are a fun pair. More delicious tomboy is always good. |
| I think this is my favorite episode since the new cour started. It just felt like a more natural and well realized story of the week than we've seen from this series in a while. Akko being a mouse the entire time was a bit much. But it gave Amanda a good showcase. And her character carried this episode really well. Her attention drawing antics were quite amusing. And while not incredibly well animated, I was pretty entertained by the sword fight at the end. I also liked Akko and Amanda's relationship development here. Which managed to make progress without retreading everything we've seen from the character so far. At first I was annoyed by Andrew's appearance. Because in contrast he seemed to be redoing the same character development we've seen twice already. But after he very quickly took the witches side, showing he had grown since their previous encounters I was pretty satisfied with it. I also like how they've made Croix the shadowy big bad. And now that it seems like she's here to stay for this cour, I can't wait to see where the show is going with her character. In short I thought the series was kind of losing it. But this episode brought it back in a big way. Can't wait to see what's up with the Cavendish's soon. |
 |
| WTF Amanda is so fucking badass fuck me Amanda. Amanda's really cool ahh. :'D I quite liked this episode even though the grail was kinda a waste. I think it's important to have these "witches aren't too bad" moments though because I feel it helps the world gradually accept them or helps to break down their walls. |
| -this louis dude seems like more of a jobber than frank -andrew's a bro, though -yeah louis is 100% jobber -Whoa this episode just took a giant 180 -Also mouse Akko looks super adorable with the cup hat -Akko got super baited -Aw man, I was super stoked for an escape episode before Andrew had to be all civilized -is that even legal -Did Amanda's hair get unslicked by the fencing duel or was it always like that ever since they were found out -That is one strong bridge -Maybe Louis isn't as much of a jobber as I thought with him coming clean of pretty much everything he did First half of the episode wasn't anything too special, but the second half was actually pretty nice in terms of character development of people related to high-ranking officials in the mundane world. I find both the non-magical and magical parts of the world pretty interesting and it's pretty nice to see the attention that both of them are getting. It would seem as though Andrew has kept his sympathy for witches since the last time he and Akko ran into each other, which is a pretty nice touch. Also, as an added bonus, Amanda shows off some sword fighting skills and enhancement magic, which is something that hasn't been shown other than when Akko awakens a word. Episode was pretty average. |
 |
| What an intense episode. Finally got what I wanted: a friendship between Akko and Amanda (it also gets a plus, because Amanda wasn't introduced in the first episode AND isn't Akko's roommate, but a friend Akko made herself), more Andrew and his background, new characters, an unsuccessful but rewarding mission and an insight of what Croix's doing. |
 |
| This episode, i you had doubts, Croix is a bad person and has a plan, malefice plan!!! |
| Nice change of characters, Amanda is pretty cool and Andrew is actually changing so it seems :p Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Being Trouble is not going to cover Anything if these 2 get caught....and was is wrong with Cavendish family? Return of Andrew....I hope romance will stay out... Soccer...Who wants to bet Holy Grail is Soccer Championship Cup! XD And Amanda will play! X) Oh My mistake....Witch hunt...Oh hell this might come back later on with revenge if those Visions from Blue Moon Cave were true. AMANDA IS COOL!! !LOVE HER AND AKKO RELATIONSHIP! Well Nice Filler better than last one (even if last one is favorite with that much of Finish references) Maybe make people thik better of witches...but can also have serious pay backs... Croix and her Instant Ramens! She is making her plans go forward huh. |

| Cool having Amanda taking the spotlight. She played a good trap, could have fooled me. |
| "I feel hella out of place here." Now I know who Amanda reminded me of. Chloe from LiS |
| I just realized that with every episode with Andrew, Akko gets shapeshifted :D But other than that, it was pretty average episode... do she even get the word? I don't think so.. this felt more like a filler but it was nice to remind us of Andrew and show us developement for Amanda. |
| Yeah! Amanda was so badass in this episode! It's nice to see that Andrew keeps supporting Akko. I also liked the conversation that Akko and Andrew had. The poor guy does whatever he does because it's expected from him (same happens to Diana), not because he wants to, like Akko does, and can't understand the concept of free will. :( The whole adventure was a trap set up by Croix to perform her experiment (and probably hoping that Akko and Amanda would fail). >:( Croix's fall will be soooo satisfying. |
 |
| Well, excuse me but can we talk about the fact how truly amazing is Amanda? |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| Akko as a rat is adorable. It was nice to see her and Amanda go on an adventure together and kind of bond, though Amanda would probably swear that she doesn't really need anybody. So that whole holy grail incident was because of one of Croix's experiments? I don't trust her... |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Wew screentime for Amanda, that was fun! |

| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Probably one of my more favorite episodes with a pretty good storyline as well as really good animation and just all around aesthetic. Great episode! |

| A episode dedicated to Amanda and a bit to Andrew. Nice to know more about the boy's academy. The son of the director is dumb. 4/5 |

| Giving Amanda more screentime was nice, she's a fun character. The scenes of the witch hunt were actually bit scary. That surprised me. In the end nothing come of it, but for a moment I thought we'd get a dangerous anti-witch-movement. The fight at the end was pretty badass. Akko saving the students in her own way had me laughing hard. |
| Really enjoyable episode. Amanda was really super fun this episode. Loved everything about her. LWA doing what it does best - being just a lot of fun |
| This episode re-evaluates the figure of Amanda, who has remained in the background for too long. It makes it shine once in a while and enriches the scene with a character that deserves to be in the cast. Funny enough the episode, even without Sucy and Lotte. |
 |
| Really good and quite captivating episode, that Luis dude was a dumbass tbh |
 |
| Totally digging Amanda's air flare's she used to beat mr. whatshisname the first time. She's definitely the dancer of Luna Nova. Glad we got a bit more time with just her and Akko! |
 |
I was looking for a Monty Python reference all episode, but couldn't find one. |
 |
| Amanda is handsome! Good thing Andrew help them ❤️ |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| I think Akko and Amanda make a good combination with their excellent personalities, I liked that Andrew supported Akko, it was a great moment so moving, it made me remember episode 10, it was great. I see that Croix is still causing problems for Akko, I hope Akko finds out, I hope that Professor Ursula soon confesses to Akko that she is actually Chariot.   |
| Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an otaku in secret.  |
| Amanda and Akko have some underrated chemistry together. While nothing substantial happened with finding words, the actual episode itself was fun and chaotic as usual and we got some sweet action too in the form of a duel. I love seeing Akko's metamorphosis magic used again too. |
| i hate how they made amanda and akko so (extra) stupid here just for the sake of the plot, regarding when they are caught |
| Amanda certainly has skills, and she managed to change that blonde guy's opinion of witches, at least to a certain degree. Andrew has become even more friendly and helpful than before. It's too bad that they didn't find the fifth word yet, but at least they destroyed one of Croix's experiments. I wonder how much longer it'll be before Akko learns that Croix is evil? |
 |
| One of the best episode. Amanda is sure a badass. |
| The paths that Andrew and Akko lead is a cool contrast. Andrew lives his life through expectations from his friends and family. While Akko lives her life through her own desires to entertain and bring smiles to everyone like Chariot did to her. Basically, Andrew lives his life through what the people around him wants him to be. While Akko lives her life through what she wants it to be. |
 |
| sort of overly ambitious episode considering the subject matter but it turned out a pretty cool spectacle Amanda was gnarly, glad she's getting some proper series screen time, loved her in the OVA |
| Amanda is a badass. |
