The whole will to live thing with Chise and Shannon was interesting, glad to see Chise really showing how much she actually does want to live and become better. Also nice to get the brief backstory of Silky

If "their skin and veins did not support the magic", as I said many times. Why the fuck, she does not train physically? It could improve the vascularization, and make your veins (and body) are prepared for a lot of tension / pressure ...
STRIVE to train must be the same as having the will to live, I suppose...

The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list.
The question is "Why do you like it?" That tells a story. Your story.

The Silky backstory was best. Spriggan was cool when he helped her, but of course it is his duty. Silky bored and lonely while Elias, Chise, and Ruth are gone, but overjoyed to see Chise safe again.

I always wondered if Silky had an interesting backstory during the first half, and now this episode finally answers that question of mine. She looked so broken and hollow before the Spriggan guided her to the house that she lives in today, transformed her attire, and despite not wanting to be thanked, he gets a kiss as a reward from Silky, who he names before he departed.

Her happy expression when the others finally returned was really touching. Her smile must be protected at all costs now. =3

Speaking of the first half, Chise was able to heal her wounds, although the way that the doctor went with the test by choking her in the pond was a little much though. I'm sure that Chise will become stronger now, so hopefully we'll won't see her in a weaken state like this again for a long time, hopefully.

Nevertheless, this was a great episode, and one that didn't end on a damn cliffhanger for once too! ^_^

An interesting story of shannon about what happens when a human live for long in the fairy world. Chise is finally leaving her "I should be dead" mindset, good thing Shannon healed her.

To be honest, that thing with the doctor was a bit weird. They just laughed off her almost killing Chise. Like I get that it was ultimately to save her, but still pretty wild.

Overall pretty happy with the episode. Some Silky backstory was nice, and it was nice to be reminded how frail Chise's life is as a Sleigh Beggy.

Oh nice, finally some Silky backstory. And she CAN talk!

Highlights of this episode were finally more TITania, and that smug happy chibi Silky when she cleaned and redecorated the house.

Although vague, we finally got a glimpse of Silky's past and it seems Spriggan was the one who helped her recover ( that is one tsundere fairy).

Chise recovered and Silky was very over the moon, I guess you can't blame her since she had to wait until winter. I am glad also Chise had a will to live.

Good ep.

I really love how this story is well dealing with magical and legendary creatures we already know but with a different distinguish way, the reborn of the Light that turned a banshee into a silky really left me in wows, great episode again. <3

Gorgeous, yes. Well-written, absolutely not. The first half of the episode is just bad.

I'm dropping it. It's Christmas next episode, and at this point I shudder to imagine how this show will handle the Japanese implications of the holiday.

The murder attempt to save her and then laughing it off was a bit weird.

The Silky part was cute, but I'm sad they left her all alone for so long D:
There's apparently more to Silky's story with her family in the manga. I hope they adapt it eventually, but if not, I'll probably read it after the show ends.

I really thought Chise would be a goners when she was being forcefully drowned but good thing she was able to fight back because of her strong will. maybe she was being tested without any intent of killing?
Silky is so precious and she totally missed Chise and others!
4/5.

Damn, I wanted more of Oberon. He's just so goofy but something tells me that underneath all that goofiness, he's incredibly powerful(well, He IS the fairy king after all)

We got to know more of Silky and it was about time we learned more of her. So, she is a banshee but she doesn't sing anymore because of the loss she felt when the family she lived with, died out.

The Silky half was pretty nice tho.


Do not worry, she gets some slack now but there will be something later down the line with SERIOUS consequences, you can look forward to it.


True, like freaking Elias can't even catch her from falling to the ground while basically just in arms reach lmao you should be use to it now, Chise gets in trouble and Elias will be late af lol

This show has literally done nothing. Chise is always getting into shit, and she constantly needs to be saved. They don't explore the magic spell aspect at all. It's literally just world building with "just okay" art style. Very overrated. After 15 episodes, I think I've given this show too many chances to redeem itself.

Poor Silky. Christ, her backstory was really sad. It was really heartwarming to see her smiling and hugging Chise in the end though. I think this episode was all over the place but I liked the second half regardless.

I literally had to do a double take when I first viewed that choking scene in the healing pond. I'm sorry, but when someone chokes you and appears to LITERALLY try and drown you, you don't just shrug it off 5 minutes later and laugh as if you two are good pals now. I don't care the circumstances or reason for doing so. If this show is even remotely trying to present relatable and realistic characters, then this is just BAD character writing. At least have some respect for your main character and your audience's intelligence PLEASE.

This series needs to step up its game soon, especially in the pacing and writing department. What originally felt like a series going at a pleasant and relaxing stride is now just on its all fours barely crawling forwards without an aim or focus in mind. I have mentioned before that the show's overall quality in terms of art and animation has dropped, but I expected as much considering that this is a 2-cour show. But now, even the tight character writing from before is starting to show cracks? Give me a break.

Anyways, I am dropping the score for this series from an 8 to a 7 FOR NOW. I still overall REALLY enjoy this series, but currently its doing little to impress. What I originally thought was a the series getting back on its feet from the pretty good episode last week may just be me being overly optimistic.

Once again, I'll reiterate that I DO NOT HATE this series. It has some incredible world-building, tone, and a potentially great central relationship with characters that I can root for. I'll continue to hope that next episode will be better (it's a Christmas ep so I doubt they can screw up that badly).

(I'll admit that the Silky parts of this episode were pretty a'ight)

My thoughts exactly. I really hope we will see some change soon :/ It's starting to get boring.
At least Silky's story was a bit memorable and sad. I was happy for her when they came home.

Another round of new annoying characters, yay! But luckily they weren't as prominent this time.
Still, her stay in the land of fairies felt like an afterthought. We are constantly jumping from one place to another and the reason is.. because plot demands it, nothing else. I'm kinda getting bored of this rush and inexistence of some goal. Things are just happening for sake of stories, not the other way around.

But I pretty much liked the second part of the episode with Silky's backstory, that was nice. Honestly, I would like to see her talk finally and get to know even more about her.

This is my first official complaint about the series - that "suffocating to help" was really, if you allow me, cringy. I wish they did something else. But alright, I am not THAT angry, just little piece of mind.

It's not like the scene was bad in itself (and the fact that fairies can be cruel was good thing to show), the worst part came when Chise awakened and another non-reaction from her, she became great friend with her again almost instantly... o_O She wanted to kill her for god's sake, she should be at least a bit wary and afraid of her not having laughs together in the next moment.
If anything whole scene felt really forced for me.

OMMMMGGGGGGGGGGG. Honey sweet characters like Silky just melt my heart, seriously TT________TT She's so precious. We must protect her at all costs.
Her stress cleaning was just adorable lol. My heart broke from seeing her wait for so long :( It really sucks being all by yourself in an empty house </3

Her background story was nice ;^;

Shannon scared tf outta me though bc she looked like Joseph in disguise lmao. Even though it was unlikely, BUT STILL!!!! I was startled lmao. She got us good. Shit. Props to her though for lighting that fire in Chise. Everything she said made sense.

Sooooooooo... Redcurrant had a friend with her... Does this mean we get another star-crossed lovers series part 2????? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) lol jkjk. Idk if we could all take another sob love story >.<
