even discounting translating "magic user" as witch (and why isn't Qifrey a warlock or wizard?), there were multiple questionable translations in the sub I saw.

>>287326332
Tongari no boushi means pointed hat. Though it's part of the title and translated there as witch hat. And it's in contrast to the brim hats so making that distinction does make sense. Translating mahoutsukai as witch is probably just to keep it in line with the title being "witch hat". I'm pretty sure even the early fan translations of the manga used witch.

I've read this manga since ch1 and I've never perceived it to be woke. Regarding the wide cast variety or character types, it's no different than what I've seen of other magic/mahou/little witch series (harry potter, little witch academia, magus bride and more). There's a white, black, asian, etc char in all 3 of those series too. I think it just comes with the territory when you gather a bunch of witches from around the world.
Now as for the author, I dunno anything about her but i guess she's super woke. My fav char in this manga is Olrugio - i have stumbled into degenerate shippers pairing olrugio with qifrey cuz theyre like the only two main adult chars. Guys, tell me now, is she gonna make olrugio be gay. He's just a homie, right? Qifrey colllects lolis but olrugio just hangs around him all day

I doubt it will ever go explicit but Olruggio did dedicate his life to Qifrey through their promise. Their relationship is as deep as any classic tragic romance even if it's "just" friendship. There will come a point in the story where Qifrey gets freed from the Silverwood parasite and Olruggio from having to repeatedly have his memories erased but I have no doubt they'll choose to remain by each other's side anyway.

I dropped the manga when i got tired of the author constantly portraying the unlawful perspective as evil. iirc there was a paraplegic kid who was cured with magic, and he suddenly became an asshole, while there was no reason for the author to portray him that way.

Did the manga get any better on that perspective?

You should reread it. He only went off the deep end when his father came back with mortal injuries, was saved by the Brimhats with a forbidden time reversion spell and the Knights threatened to capture him and erase his memories (and let him die anyway upon the spell running out).

Why don't the triumwichtare gets the monopoly of the magic trees? that way the brimhats can't do magic, right? Also I remember a map that not all the world is part of the great conspiracy that brainwashed people to forget how easy it was to do magic, why don't brimhats just go out of the great conspiracy territories?

because they were either protecting accused witches or on trial for murder (with witchcraft being the convenient accusation to speed things along)
SWT was about a lot more than witches. A village basically experienced mass-hysteria and started airing out all its secrets and drama, with witchcraft as the device to sidestep the direct issue.

Notice the other adjective - "occult", perhaps a bit unclear but what I meant is that it's dangerous and you cannot waive away consequences, everything action has a price that must be paid
That's the kind of magic I'm into, it introduces emotional depth and stakes to attaining frankly ridiculous powers which makes it interesting.
>Indeed its hard to imagine how anyone could have ever learned magic in the first place if that was the only option.
Not at all, there are numerous ways to approach this, for example just mirror the experiences of real life practicioners of arcane arts (schizo) who often aquired secret knowledge through spiritual experience (drugs and mental illness)

>Wicca was the masculine word for a witch in Old English. Wicce was the feminine version. Wicca was pronounced was Witch-ah and Wicce was pronounced like Witch-uh. Fast forward to the fifteenth and sixteenth century when “Modern” English became standardized. The word Witch made it easier to understand the intended pronunciation of the word and the gendered suffix was remove. Witch was meant to be the gender neutral combination of the masculine and feminine version of Wicca.

>So where did the word Warlock come from? Well, roughly one thousand years ago in Scotland when a man was accused of being a witch he was called a Warlock. Warlock meant “oath breaker.” Specifically one who breaks his baptismal vow to God by serving Satan. It also could be used to mean liar.

>The modern use of Warlock to mean a “male witch” was popularized in the 1960s here in America because of comic books like Sabrina: The Teenage Witch and the TV series Bewitched, which had very similar lore.

I'm not so sure magic can be described as occult anymore if the words "magic system" enter the conversation. It kinda implies that the magic is neatly classified and explained in all its interaction. Magic system makes me think of nen charts and stuff, which is anti-occult. But putting that aside, I think you'd like the Keyman manga. Despite starting as superhero story the magic is traditional european occult type. It's not explained in details mind you, just how it's shown.

That brimhat has such a weak brim. No wonder he’s so weak. Everyone knows a witch’s strength is directly correlated to the ratio of brim to the witch’s height
>>
>>287333014
Warlock has always evoked a more mystical legendary power than witch. Witches are found in forests practicing simple magicks, warlocks lead armies and shape continents. Ironically I’d have no problem with calling them mages but I have equally no problem with calling them witches. The dictionary schizo is likely an ESL and lacks an appreciation for how deep and varied English vocabulary is compared to other languages that only have 1 or 2 influences. Still better than the /pol/ grifter.

To add, warlock is technically not even magical in origin (neither is mage/magus) but various settings have shifted the zeitgeist on what these things mean in pop culture. Etymology is fun, I wish this guy had fun with it instead of putting sticks in his ass.

>>287331623
Lighted streets, heated rocks, self cleaning lakes, flying cars, flight boots, the list goes on and on. Plenty of interesting tools…AND magic was apocalyptic it all got banned you’ve got unstoppable crystal growths, Godzilla spawners, immortality. My ONE problem (albeit this is true for all magic systems) is why has no one thought of an infinite energy machine they already understand windmills aka turbines just slap a spin script on a turbine blade and you have enough power to never need magic again.

I like how the author understood that the idea of being a Brimhat is appealing despite their reputation, the temptation to just *do what you want* instead of being bound by societies rules, and thus created the design of Brimhat Coco to reflect that same appeal and temptation. You see the design of Coco there and you immediately go "Yes, this is better. This is Coco in the fullness of her power". Which makes it seem like an ascension rather than a corruption.

That was ok
Ep.2 was very standard introduction to magic. I REALLY hope they don't go to a typical magic academy route like in most (native) isekai fantasy series.
the magic system is kinda shallow and uninteresting. it feels like it doesn't require mastery at all. all you need to do is draw the very simple arrangement properly
and that ED theme is ear cancer.
>>
>>287334288
Custas was mad that a cure for his condition was kept from him that would’ve been easily available to witches and it is therefore reasonable for him to hate magic society. The author wrote him in such a cartoonishly over the top edgy way that it is impossible to take this seriously as what he actually felt though. Coco literally did things against the law FOR him that he didn’t recognize it was even against the law UNTIL he learned the truth and he completely ignored it and became a “hurr durr I must cause mass suffering for everyone because [unknown]”. It was played off way too seriously to be just a scared and lonely childlike tantrum which would’ve been believable and played off way too edgy to be seen as motivated by a genuine anger from being mistreated. It’s like if you watched a doctor operate on a billionaire while you’re bleeding out in the street most people wouldn’t suddenly start nuking middle class neighborhoods. This is why people say the author is painting the brimhats as cartoonishly evil because despite them having generally clear cut goals (research magic on their own/expand magic to the common folk) they’re instead running around blowing up cities, crystallizing random farmers, and making child soldiers. They clearly have the power to achieve their goals they just act like narrative fodder.

As far as the magic being simple it does get a bit more complicated.
You can have circles link or have a circle inside another, conjoin symbols and have that symbol have a circle inside it. Its really just a lot like normal drawing, just put the right shapes in the right place but by doing that you can make it work how you want.

I can't believe no one has pointed out that the author's use of “witch” to refer to men is likely a conscious choice. I mean, she’s a woke feminist; she probably didn’t want to use a “masculine” term that might evoke stronger feelings in people because that would socially and mentally divide them, creating a gap between witches and wizards—and you know how much feminists hate those gaps. So she chose a gender-neutral term to make everyone equal.

I know, but she always likes to use the term “witch” in general, as in >>287330266, and even if it was a localization decision, she never bothered to correct it. She's a huge westaboo so it's impossible that she didn't know the term “wizard” and also that the official English version made that choice, therefore, if she was told about it later, she surely approved it because she agreed with the use of a “gender-neutral” term for the English release.

Exactly, that’s my point—only a feminist or an ally would do that. It’s not because of any ambiguity in the language or for some canonical reason, and if there is one, that canonical explanation was created with the intention of avoiding a masculine term—because we have to destroy the patriarchy of wizards and elevate witches or something like that.

Way, way less gay that Homura. Everyone is.
Homura elevates her gayness into a league of her own, trapped in a time loop thats entirely hinged around saving Madoka from one terrible fate after another its gone from friendship to obsession to love to religion to something completely off the scale.

Agott is just kind of gay for Coco. Not even particularly gay about it. Meanwhile Homura is over in the corner going

It would fit with the leftoid accusations if the author believes terrorism and extreme violence are reasonable (and inevitable) reactions to muh societal injustice.
If so, we're probably supposed to read all that retarded edgy sperging as a reason to hate the magic police, rather than the characters doing the sperging. You know, because we live in a society or whatever.

Honestly this. The pointed hats being against healing magic Is retarded and It's pretty clear through the series that Qifrey and others think so too. I'm curious what he would do If Coco or any of his students were going to die. Not just sick like Coco was, a situation where It Is life or death.

One of the primary reasons that Witch Hat Atelier is good is because it has one of the few authors on Earth who has recognised that lore is a stupid thing for stupid people

>>287326332
No, think about it...this name choice aims to capture the zeitgeist of Japanese making anime for women that has witch vibes... of which the word should be 魔女(majo) not 魔法使い (commonly magician). Yet, by calling him a sorcerer we'd have to constantly change the name from witch to sorcerer, of which most are majo, it's themed after witchcraft...it would be awkward to change it all the time like when you don't do honorifics. In a Western series, you may appropriately convey that with witches/wizards, but it could get complicated in Japanese. That's why we gotta go with "witch". This best captures the origin intention of the author to make all magicians have a witch-style instead of localizing it to the correct term magician that the author used.

Little of both. Its pretty explicit that this is an abuse of power and a showcase of how the wizard cops are not really being overseen by anyone so long as the don't step too far out of the line of their duties, but also said woman and her childhood friend were both victims of sexual abuse that went unpunished when she was younger so this is a particularly sore spot for her.

She IS overreacting and inflicting the maximum punishment, but not without cause and not in a way that anyone but a schizo would consider to be representative of what the author's actual stance on the matter is. Like much of WHA, its a showcase of two extremes (don't punish sexual predators vs mindwipe all peeping toms) where both sides are in the wrong and the clear answer is that there has to be something in the middle of these two untenable absolutes. You're supposed to be smart enough to read this chapter and, by this point in the story, recognize that this is not unlike the larger conflict with the Brimhats in that the crime and damage is real but the solution is clearly unfair and flawed as well.

People arguing in bad faith of course ignore all of this nuance and just shit out a post whinging about "the author hates men because evil feminist nazi woman hates the male gaze" or something.

it's in reference to a post talking about how confusing it is when retards invent imaginary enemies that disagree with them. So they go into threads and name-drop their enemy constantly.

>"BRIMHATS could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this atelier before. There could be BRIMHATS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his face. "I HATE BRIMHATS" he thought. The festival music reverberated his entire drawing kit, making it pulsate even as the tree seed reverberated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of strange witches after dark. "With your magic boots, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.

Enjoy the ride, anon. The show is good, but the manga is gorgeous in a way that can never be animated so you won't regret it.

Shirahame artstyle looks perfect for loli hentai doujinshis.

Um, what about groping her chest in the first panel?
>>
>>287339779
the author could've easily prevented those accusations by making the voyeur female no?
>>
>>287340353
that's not even close to groping her nonexistent chest. that's like her shoulderblade
>>
>>287340353

You can clearly see that he isn't groping her,

Don't you know that female witches don't commit crimes? yeah maybe female witches would do human experiments or give nuclear weapons to kids but it isn't their fault but the patriarwitchchy that don't let them to be free,

It's a regular flashback. She went on to use magic against the noble, she and friend got blamed for it, fired and blacklisted.

>rapist has yaoi hands
lol why are women so horny when drawing rape scenes?
>>
>>287340361
this isn't that kind of yuri manga, so the author is unable to negatively portray women in any serious way
>>
>>287340481
Nuance? It's as subtle as a brick to the face.

Why didn't they mind rape her and erase her memories?
>>
>>287340486
Massive and lasting popularity.
>>
>>287340586
ehh that remains to be seen
>>
>>287339450
I mean...wouldn't cbt or sterilization be a more fitting punishment here than mind rape? Even if you erase his memories of magic he would still be a pervert who Is a danger to lolis.
>>
>>287340618
the answer is these characters and their creator are very stupid
>>
>>287340618
women struggle with long-term thinking, be patient
>>
>>287340584
The Knights were supposed to do that but took pity on her and offered her a job with them instead.
>>
>>287340584
Her master brings her to the witch cops to have just that done but they don’t because it wasn’t her fault. You would know this if you read the manga

in a good manga these nazis would have been polished off long ago, probably in an epic fight where the protagonist awakens their secret technique/ powerup form
>>
>>287340675
Coco isn't so lucky, she has a couple run-ins with the Knights Moralis and she's on the brink of getting mindwiped both times, requiring help from others.

Isn't that excessive for peeping?

>While searching for works with strong activity on 4chan threads among the top-ranking works in the survey, "Atelier of Witch Hat" is our top choice among works that have already aired their first episode.
> Atelier of Witch Hat (55 votes): It consumed about 3 threads the morning after the broadcast, which is excellent. However, the threads are a bit chaotic, and there are concerns that the reactions will be scattered due to the advance streaming of one episode on Abema and Netflix, so there is some doubt as to whether it can be consistently summarized. We will maintain a high degree of flexibility and respond as needed.
jarman is considering not covering these threads if you're not professional about it, so step your games up./ remember, you have to post a screenshot from the episode then post a reply like "i want to motorboat X's feet"

They send you to re-education island after the memory wipe.

Only if you don't use magic. Normal perverts don't have this issue. Go harass a milkmaid or something.
>>
>>287340836
I've seen jarman filter through obvious shitposting well enough in the past, the threads since airing honestly haven't been too terrible aside from one.

Also, is the entire season airing one episode ahead on streaming compared to nip TV? That's silly.
>>
>>287340836
>shitposter filtering jarman
Is like pottery
>>
>>287340863
wrong. we will be baiting from now on.
>>287340894
nah it's because we're not following ther formula of posting screencaps from the episode and then reacting to them
>>
>>287340791
Oh for sure but that organization IS extreme. There's no way that guy hasn't done that before with his magical device though. He's likely jerked off multiple times while spying on girls, there's no way he didn't.
>>287340844
Yes but they can't legally do anything else to you with magic at least.
>>287340841
They don't just get thrown to the normies who think they can't use magic?
>>
>>287340932
>They don't just get thrown to the normies who think they can't use magic?
It depends on many factors, but first the island.

His vids were fun before people started ritual posting the same type of constant performative horny slop.
I still watch them and my posts pop up from time to time in his vids and that is cool. But when anons are acting out a stage play to get noticed, it isn't very fun.
>>
is this yuri or yuri bait?

they turned coco's mom into a retired greek goddess
how did she have such a womanlet daughter

And what about their magic families, do they get mind rape too?
>>
>>287340981
yo maybe this anime ain't so bad after all
>>287341004
idk i don't hornypost and i still got 20 or so posts in each time last season

Maybe the dad was a dwarf.

>>287341016
If you come from a magic family and get wind wiped is very likely the Knight Moralis come and talk to your family.

No. Most of the lolis 100% are Interested in boys Including the protag Coco. The only one that Isn't and clearly Into Coco Is (F)Aggot but Coco Isn't interested in her beyond being friends.

Bro...Coco Is 10-12.

There's no romance at all and all shipper are in suicide watch.

At that age Coco should have big Coco's like her mother.

I know that but i kind of support the shippers who aren't mentally Ill. I know It's a rare breed.
>>
>>287341168

>>287341144
12 maybe but at 10 nah that's impossible. Regardless hopefully Coco never goes beyond a medium breast size.
>>
>>287341171
A fair take. I think some of them are just sad and lonely.

POST MORE AGGOT WHILE THERE'S STILL TIME! SHE'S SO GOD DAMN SEXY
