| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That Agathe girl can be a bit....hard to get along with. A lot of fan service this episode. Really, they spiced it up in the baths. This episode just felt all over the place and I'm not impressed. Hazuki still need a lot to of room to develop and tbh, I think she's being too nice to others. |
 |
| Hazuki was wearing a magical bath towel which appeared and disappeared at random during the very long hot spring scene. And the matches girl has hair that resists fire. Besides that it was a pretty action packed episode with the matches attacking like that. |
| A bit disappointed that the second China student with fan “ba jiao shan” actually having the same fantasy story “Journey to the West” as the other girl with stick, eventhou China has many other fantasy story to use for. Creator should have at least give the other China student a different fantasy:( |
| Got some strong girls in this episode, especially Agathe. Them fighting naked was amusing. Hazuki still wasn't able to do anything. She learned the sad backstory for Shizuka. |
 |
| Accurate portrayal of America, arrogant psychopaths that think they deserve everything and did nothing wrong. Qazan working undercover to get a home and shizuka's b-d is when her mom died :'( |
 |
| Seems like things have taken a turn for the worse... Wonder how Hazuki can maintain her reputation as the strongest Origin amidst all the backstabbing and betrayal that she doesn't know of... Aside from that, the episode wanders from place to place NOT like a book does... |
 |
| I'm really getting tired of Hazuki getting used as a punching bag. The strongest Origin, eh? All she's done so far is summon a few marching pumpkins. Barely shown a hint of getting stronger, and as we leave the episode, may never get that chance. A third of the way through and she's worse off than when she started. I'm not ready to drop this yet, but boy did this one leave me angry. |
 |
| I really don´t get why they gave the little match girl to an american rather than making her danish |
 |
| and we are back at that episode 1 nonsense, battling in the baths lmao. Let me guess. MC will cry and for some random reason will activate the "book" and will "destroy" bully girl, and (probably) she will respect her after that. |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| The setting/plot itself is already boring enough for me. Dragging this "oh I hv the most op power but don't know how to use it" for this long sure isn't making this series any better. |
| It's odd that someone's death being on the same day as another person's birthday happens the same year it happened to me. It helps me connect better with the story. As for Hazuki, I'm sure she will be fine because plot armor Interesting episode, but not the most entertaining. |

| Look, it's the "Buy the Blu-Rays"-episode. |

I'm not ready to drop this yet, but boy did this one leave me angry. i understand your frustration, but what would you've done in her place? Its all new for her, especially talking with others, dont you remember she is master at running and runs from everything in her world. And in this world she finally started to face things. Im sure 80% of people on mal are huge introverts just like her and would run from this another world unlike Hazuki who didnt run. Please consider the character personality before you try to want her to act like someone who she's not. She is not Lelouch vi Britannia. If anything blame anime and studio's execution in certain parts in this episode. |
| I actually like were this is going, the MC barely gets to use her powers and will probably get way too overpowred when she does near the end of the show instead of being overpowered from day 1 xD. |

| well i did not see this episode yet but in my opinion this episode would make me give enough anger management issues |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| the only thing keeping me watching this is the episode where she finally transforms and blows everyone away, tho if she transforms and bumblefucks around like she has for the last 4 eps then droppy doo this goes |
| Those towels must have been glued on. |
| Good episode. Best one so far |
| Guess I'm opposite of the majority here, I actually think Hazuki is the only saving grace of this mediocre-at-best show for how relatable she is. |
 |
| Probably based on some LN, given how horribly bad this is, no probably better to say its generic above any belief, dropped |
| I just knew White Sukumizu girl is gonna my favorite when I first saw her in the ED despite looking all innocent in there knowing her personality this episode now I like her even more Hazuki oh damn, I was neutral to her so far until now, she's getting annoying, she's pathetic as hell |
| The fight scene in the bath was pretty nice and finally got me hyped for the Hexennacht. I still don't really understand what they expect Kagimura to do during the competition. She still can't use the Buchhülle spell at all and even if she manages to do it soon, she'll only have less than a month to learn how to fight. I wish we were progressing more instead of going back to episode 2 with that ending. |
| It's sad to see that very few people are enjoying the show. Oh well, I love it, the transformations and powers are very cool and the fight was good. Hazuki is by far my favorite character. |

| Hmm i see tht and well the series need to get better if not it will really end up in the words tht i mentioned above |

| I think the transformation of Hazuki will get to episode 6-7. And since I do not understand what the director of this Academy is doing, she has a crazy psychotic with matches running around and a spy. |
| Things are finally starting to heat up. Lets hope we get some good action and fights during the tournament. And, the matchstick girl. I like her. Even if she is American. |

| So things are now getting complicated huh...and the committee of 13 wants Hazuki out of the picture from Hexennatch! 4/5. |
 |
| Ah yes, the American always fucking everything up lmao. |

| This show is looking more and more like a poor Madoka Magica ripoff every ep, and I'm losing interest. I think I'll give it one more week to get in gear. |
| Qazan's being a big traitor was a surprise, that trick with the american school did fool me... Shizuka is a tsun. |
 |
| My first drop this season, I'm being honest I had hopes for this series at the beginning but really the whole cast is annoying. The three main girls Hazuki, Shizuka and Yumilia are bad and all other characters who have been introduced so far are bland too. The story prologue is handled so badly to this point it seems to me that the producers want viewers to drop the show xD |
| Why are people saying the Little Matchstick Girl shouldn't be American? Cinderella isn't Japanese. |

Maybe fanservice did it for people in 1st episode and then they dropped it. While I plan to stick around for this, at least a little while longer, I have to say this anime just feels kind of off. At least in my opinion anyway. I guess it's the way it tries to mix the comedy and the more serious tones so much along with the cutesy art style and abundant fan-service. It makes it hard to find this anime funny, but I also can't take it seriously at all, I'm not sure how I'm suppose to feel about any of this. On top of that, it feels like things are happening to quickly and I'm just not feeling the voices. It just don't sit right. |

| Wow, that was unexpectedly cool . . . the way that fight escalated and evolved was fucking awesome . . . plus the choreography, this show isn't screwing around either. Once again, in a show for cute girls and some fun or some nostalgic style, and i got some strong shit. That ending hit me pretty good . . . Like when Yumilia was telling Hazuki to stop her, because you know she doesn't want to do it. The nation representation was pretty damn good too. CodeKeima said: I could say the same about FranXX, which for the time being, is riding on Gainax coattails and Trigger hype and pointless indirect sexualization.The three main girls Hazuki, Shizuka and Yumilia are bad and all other characters who have been introduced so far are bland too. The story prologue is handled so badly to this point it seems to me that the producers want viewers to drop the show xD ps: the intro for this anime was meant to be a nostalgia for early-mid-2000's fantasy-magic anime. very much meant to reel in people that are actually familiar with such a genre of shameless nonsense from the good-old days of generally shitty but likable anime. all of that is personified in Hazuki's familiarity with mahou shoujo and other magic-fantasy fiction. |

| The way they're handling the countries is cringeworthy at best. Oh look, Japan being all peaceloving and vulnerable. I bet they were like that too in real life. Entertain me, entertain me please... Polycell said: Why are people saying the Little Matchstick Girl shouldn't be American? Cinderella isn't Japanese. At least Cinderella isn't explicitly regarded as from a certain country, and it's seen as a super-book of sorts above normality in the series. I think I recall hearing that Cinderella was in another country previously in another episode. Hazuki is a girl from the outside world too, to accentuate the abnormality Conversely the Little Match Girl is explicitly Danish, and there's no real reason to give it to the US, is there? They could have easily used the Wizard of Oz etc... |

| More drama stuff at the end there. I feel like dropping it. |
| Kasumi has been my fave ever since i first saw her and finally we get to see her transformation and its really cute besides that as much as im liking this series it is getting kinda annoying that Hazuki still cant transform yet, i mean this series is only 12 ep and still nothing really hoping something happens next ep |
| "one step at a time" |
| I like the story. but why were they ruined story with nations? Why there is world nations in isekai? |
