Yumemi should take school more seriously. Poor Kokomi on getting made fun of by a kid.

At least Yumemi made a new friend so she's not lonely.

Yumemi not going to school for various reasons, like being too easy. At least the bullying part was solved in this episode.

Makoto has a good relationship with Yumemi and it was funny seeing Hatena getting jealous because of it.

for all the anime that portray kids that are living with no parental supervision, at least this one seems to show kids that are not well adjusted living on their own.

Otherwise, the show just seems to be spinning its wheels.

Maerchen Maedchen part deux? Has production become the trainwreck that made its predecessor legendary for all the wrong reasons?

Good and heartwarming episode, Makoto was really cool with Yumemi and Hatena, I really like Yumemi now, maybe better than Hatena ? They're both great

A big ouch for Makoto, there goes his hopes and dreams of learning magic tricks.

This epi was sweet, Yumemi is a really nice and cute girl. I really like her. Glad her problem was solved.

The animation didn't bother me here as much as it did in other episodes, but it still wasn't great. My biggest gripe, however, is that Makoto kind of helecopter-parented Yumemi the entire time. I was really looking forward to having the sisters have a heart to heart, but Makoto went off alone with Yumemi 3 or 4 times, sometimes even insisting he do so instead of Hatena. Bruh you've been there for a month tops, chill.

Makoto was really cool with Yumemi , but his relationship with Hatena needs more work...............

So, the reason why Yumemi doesn't wanna go to school, cu'z she and Hatena don't look alike or was it because , she a prodigy where she sees her grade level as to boring?????

Wow the main premise was thrown out the window pretty fast lmao. It was all artifacts!

You know what's crazy? That we are not getting a recap for this and Darwin's Game is already getting one XD. This should be more of a production disaster and I'd expect it here...shocking.

What the hell was up with this episode?! the facial expressions and animations were so off and inconsistent it even could rival märchen mädchen and my sister is my writer. It's sad cause the animation of the fight between teddy and scarf was fine again, budget of the ep all went to those scenes it seems. If the rest of the production is going to be like this god help us.

And after a barely fine climax last week we got a school bullying centered episode which felt like a filler, I have seen enough, drop.

Makoto is in an unfixable state...the father figure (which is Hatena's father) that he wanted to learn from, unfortunately has lesser tricks up his sleeve than the young magician.

Even worse is Yumemi with a kuudere expression, being a shut-in is the least of others' worries. And so with prying from Kokomi, Hatena and Makoto, a trip down to Yumemi's school to figure out why, and it all boils down to...bullying?

It's ironic that Hatena and Yumemi aren't close to each other despite being sisters, and Makoto ended up being the 3rd party to teach more magic tricks. And it ended up bheing an Artifact battle against both sisters while Makoto is at the receiving end.

Good to see that the issue is resolved with Yumemi's classmates acknowledging his presence and all, but for Makoto stealing the show, it just seems corny that he's getting the limelight instead of Hatena.

Sadly, more than the story and narratives not holding up as much, it felt boring and cringey to see Makoto banter between sisters, especially Hatena with lip-serviced "romance".

It's more on par with My Sister, My Writer's standards of subpar animation.

The direction and animation is so comically awful, but it's just about endearing enough and inoffensive that I'm not yet close to dropping it.

Like it's really hard to believe that grown experienced men are writing the script and storyboard. Curious about what Ainya etc is thinking about the show while recording

Well at this point in time my hopes for the animation to get better are going down, everything looks bit weird

I think the heartfelt moment with Makoto should have been done with Hatena instead, would have given it a bit more of an emotional impact
