| Damn, felt bad for Lucy this episode. She dealt with a lot of stress that affected her on a psychological level but this episode does gave a better insight to her character and personality. Despite some short lighthearted moments, this episode was very mood and had moments of its despair, coming from Lucy's narrative perspective. Truly, she's been through a lot. |
 |
| You know, this manga/anime always have had one of the most unique settings, mixed with a lot of britain's myths ... so pardon me when i say that a furry assassin gang felt kinda ordinary, lol. Nonetheless, The Websters got some (very mildly animated) action this week, but still, we don't really know what was the furry gang precise involvement with their family ... Or who is truly behind it. But hey, Ada Wong is here, so thats a +. |

| Glad to see Lucy alright with Seth recovered well, and his relationship with Chise certainly irks her off, but it's for the best as much as siblings matter. Simeon reinvigorated from a hidden scuffle, it's thank to Elias whom shares his magic power to keep him alive. And the enemy striking now against the Websters, it's a moment of emergency to save them both from harm. The creatures benevolent of Chise's contract with them, and usually an offering is compounded, though this time she promises to pay in return fort the wolves chasing the Websters down. Indeed, the mystery shrouding the Websters is a whole web of tragedies awaiting their removal, in both magic and reality, while that intention remains clear of why the spider's silk is stolen away. Requesting Marielle's help to look into Simeon's abnormality, and it came down to the Testament of Carnamagos, of someone using it to steal magic power. Looks like the College itself has a part to play in the Websters' tragedy story as well...but in what capacity? |

| The witch from season 1! Nice to see her again. I'm really curious about those wolf people. Yes they gave a bad impression, but we don't know their motives at all. Isn't that hooded child in the flashback one of their classmates? Seems like the one using the book is someone from Philomela's family. Perhaps it's Veronica or maybe Philomela herself? |
 |
| dropping it that shit half way through. we got the generic plot of the good guy defending the bad guy. these 2 tried to kill you all and you... save them? because she yelled out child? fucking hate that dog shit. |
 |
| Personally I would’ve let the wolves get torn to shreds by the dogs but it wouldn’t be a shonen without the MC feeling sympathetic towards bad guys. Not only did these people try to kill you, but they also killed your friend’s family. Granted, it is consistent with chise’s character. She’s a kind person so it’s not bad writing, just annoying for me. They’ll probably try and give us a reason as to why the wolves did it, probably being manipulated or something to make us empathise with them. Whoever’s calling the shots didn’t foresee Chise getting involved so interested to see how that plays out |

| This episode provided some better insight on Lucy's past and the Webster Tragedy, though to be honest, I found the assassins quite bland, and they were also not that well animated. I do wish the execution was a bit better, as it didn't really feel all that tense. There are still many questions regarding their identities and their motives, but it would be reasonable to suspect that the College and maybe Philomela or her family had something to do with it. With just two episodes left, I'm not sure if all these questions will be answered in this cour. I am glad though that everyone ended up safe, with Lucy, her brother, and Simeon, who has mysteriously had his magic drained out of him. Luckily Elias was there to help him out. |
| great episode, she is maybe to kind even if i understand why she did what she did. i want to hear more about the motivation etc |
| otakuweek (100k Followers) on insta for News /best recom etc just have a look, you won't regret it... Link below: https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh |
| Previous arc was better, but this arc show well how the world can be cruel. |
| I know that this strory explores itself delving into wider range of moral aspects, but it's kinda not really interesting... as a storyline, I mean. Maybe I just half forgot what was in the season 1, but can't bring myself to be as invested in this anymore. Maybe it's because of the new characters, or the current arc is just lacking, but oh well. I'm kinda waiting for it to end at this point, and probably won't be looking forward to the next season. |

| Lucy been having it rough these last couple of eps. Interesting eps though, I can feel we building to something |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Smart luring the wolves into that gateway or whatever, but I feel like Elias could have easily taken both of them out by himself. The author just wanted Chise to take the lead here I guess. Still she ends up being pretty foolish and letting the murderers run free, but I guess we'll meet them again and find out whatever motivation. Tho they could still have died and then we find out the motivation from some other character but w/e. |
| damn, some brutal stuff with the hounds and a lucy flashback. |
 |
| Nah man... I 100% would have let those werewolves die. No wonder Lucy was mad at Chise afterwards. |
| Really good episode, nice mix of action, suspension and drama. Things are falling in motion, the wolves attacking Lucy to "finish the job", the death book missing and people suddenly dropping left and right is all to coincidental. The action this ep was ok, Elias was quick to respond to Chise getting attacked and i kinda wish we were shown more of a fight, but the idea to head into the inter dimensional tunnel felt like an interesting gamble. As much as I wanted those wolves gone, it made sense for Chise to drive a bargain after hearing the wolves mentioned a child. It felt very in character for her to do that. Even after those events, idk I think I'd still side with Lucy and just left those wolves to be eaten. With the information we have right now, we know that those wolves are the number one suspect that caused her families death, and why she's mostly in the position she is in today. I'm sure she want's revenge, and right now there's been a life for a life, but unless we're shown more about the incident, i feel like the price these wolves have to pay for their actions against Lucy is way higher then both their lives and their child's life. If they are the same wolves, they seem to still actively be trying to kill Lucy so no that one in the Webster's bloodline can control the spiders, they've killed her entire family that are possibly innocent. Not only that, but by not killing her either right there or at a sooner time, they've let her live with that survivor’s guilt for so long it's criminal. Again thou, unless we’re shown more it’s really hard to try to feel sympathetic towards these wolves after what we can piece together, they just such a high price to pay and are in a Guilty until otherwise situation. Idk I think Lucy’s anger at Chise for letting those wolves go even at their mention of family, is justified. These people took all their spiders which was they main source of work, then killed her family on top of that before leaving her to spends years with the confusion, guilt and burden on her shoulders come back once again to “finish the job”, only for them to be let go after what could be compared to as a, less considerable loss, then hers. But i'm fully open to changing my opinion tho if they show more about the incident itself that would also lead me to believe that the wolves aren't the sole cause. Alone this episode brought way more questions about the incident, like "why did the wolf not kill Lucy on the same day as the rest of her family?" "why are the wolves even doing this?" "why try to kill her now?" But honestly, i feel Lucy has had some much screen time and has become such a deep rooted character in this story, it would be really hard for me to not to side with her not matter the answer of the other end. |

| The tension that this episode had to offer was thick, with me feeling more sympathy for Lucy and how much she has suffered so far. Her brother, Seth, has done his best to give her a good education despite not being able to use any sorcery, so I hope it's not too late for them to reconcile and be happy as siblings again. The wolves made a bold move on Chise and the others, with the main target in killing Lucy and Seth as they "didn't finish the job" during the past where Lucy's family were killed off. Elias got there quickly and did well himself, although he stood aside after seeing what Chise had in plan, which was using the inter dimensional tunnel to lure the wolves in. The brave gamble that she did paid off, as the creatures inside the tunnel ripped the wolves apart. Chise had second thoughts and asked them to stop, leaving the one wolf alive after she mentioned about saving her child's life, although ripping off her partner's head and slightly chewing(?) it before running off wasn't the outcome I expected. I can understand why Chise made this call, although it's one that won't be the most popular with the viewers, which I can understand. Getting Marielle to help out was good timing, but checking out Simeon led to her seeing a frightful looking creature before flinching backwards. It looks like someone has their hands on the missing book and is using it to steal other's magic powers, which then leads to the next scene with Philomela's nasty grandmother plotting something. It makes me think whether she's got the book, or is planning something that'll cause chaos for the main cast in the future. Hopefully the next episode will get into the thick of answering those questions eventually. =) |
| boohoo cry me a river wolf murderers... /rolls eyes |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| I knew Chise would protect assassins. I knew that old lady was sus. I wonder if the pesr is Marielle or Chise. |
| I think that some of the people commenting about Chise sparing the lives of the humanoid wolves (or one of them - wasn't one killed and the survivor started eating the corpse of the other?) are kind of missing the point. In that it isn't necessarily about the wolves themselves, their actions, condoning their actions, what they did to Lucy and her family, or any of that. Besides showing mercy in the moment as a gut instinct and reflex, it's also about the larger picture of Chise herself and what kind of mage and person she wants to be and eventually go on to become. We already know from a recent episode, from the school camping trip to rural Scotland where she ended up forced into that confrontation and killed the nuckelavee and attempting to consult with Cartaphilus about it after, that she is already having deep misgivings about her power to kill, and probably doesn't want to match her ability in that area with a readiness or eagerness to fall back on doing so as a first resort. Of course, it makes perfect sense for Lucy to be angry with Chise to some extent over that aspect of the situation, and I probably would be too in her shoes (almost certainly), but that doesn't mean Chise's decision was wrong for Chise. It can be the right decision for her personally in terms of development and the type of person she wants to become in the future while still unavoidably hurting another in the process. I do agree though that it seems like Elias' own abilities were pretty awkwardly neutered in a clumsy way to facilitate that scene in the first place. I would also like to know how Marielle and the other witches in her coven more generally perceive themselves in relation to sorcerers and mages. |

| Is Philomela's family involved in this? Seemed like it. Kinda felt bad for that female assassin wolf but then again they killed Lucy's family. |
 |
What's the deal with what Chise is thinking about, I mean, I know that Seth sold her but what's with all those numbers. |
| Chise's too kind, but the thing is she's the only one who is, not the crowd around her. So I get Lucy when she was mad at her for letting those wolves or rather that one wolf get away. They did show us about the Webster tragedy but to be honest in the end they've left us with more questions than answers. And I'm afraid things would change much, now that we're near the end. |
 |
| I expected more from chise and elias during dat wolf fight, but chise's plan wasn't half bad. |

| The couple of wolves attacked but the ended was tragic!!! kekeke |
| Damn, suddenly the wolves take off their masks and I knew once they established one was female we'd have to sympathize with her. Chise's really gonna have a hard time reconciling with that violent self-defensive voice in her head if she keeps sparing everyone that tries to kill her and her friends (ESPECIALLY when it's already established Lucy's entire family was slaughtered by these wolves). Although that was pretty fucking savage she had to tear off her mate's head. |
| Just when I thought this episode might be really good, Elias and Chise disappoint me. Elias by his lack of combat ability and Chise by showing mercy to merciless killers. |
