What's the tax policy of this setting?
They’re desperately trying to market this as the ''next Frieren'' but it’s clearly not landing. I don't think a single normalfag has even heard of it.
I'm so loco for Coco bros...
>>287901139Coco is cuter than Frieren and Fern combined so it’s working on me.>B-BUT THE AUTHOR!!!Death of the author, chud.
Been noticing an uptick in evil Coco art since the show premiered
>>287901230>evilPointy hat propaganda
>de.i
>>287901103In order for me to watch a series it's gotta have a badass, so WHA fans I wanna know is there a certified badass in the series?
>>287901505fuck off we're full
imagine being a dunce hat cuck
>wokehats
atelier fear the muslim
>>287901103Pay what they tell you to, or get lobotomized.
>>287901490>trapped in the soup dimensionSave them!!
I vaguely recall him wiping the old man's memories. What episode will that be in?
Adult Coco art by the author
>>287901926I don't remember when it happened too well, but I think it won't be until the next cour.
>>287902084>Next courThat shit ain't coming out until 2030.
>>287902071The important question is: did she grow into her mother's tits?
>>287900839Bug Films said episode 5 had over 20,000 animation cels: https://x.com/kojima2019/status/2051308081850744944
>>287902071What about her handsome husband?
>>287902124If this is the level of quality we get as a result I can wait.
>>287901926probably episode 9 or 10
>>287902654Actually looks better.
>>287902294I'd believe them.
>>287902654broody teen aesthetic
>>287902654give him just the chin bit and it'd probably be better
>>287902685Baby face
crazy how all good art comes from progressives and left-leaning individuals. why is that
>>287901103Is time for the third best show of mondays!
>>287901182I fucking hate that author, but coco is too cute for me to stop watching.
Defend this.
>>287902859Would Coco be the type of person whose generally awkward but locks in the charisma when she's having a romantic evening with someone?
The way they animated coco's delicate movents this episode made me start having romantic feeling for her, and I feel like that was intentional
>>287902916Bad anon, you are supposed to want her as your daughter, not your wife.
>>287902843Like build a fort around her or something?
Post Coco's coco
>>287902894That's her whole. That is how she saved the day in Festival arc.
>>287902071Oh sick. No scar though?
>>287903012I think these are old sketches from long before the current arc.
>>287903012They're just sketches, interesting that she chose to drew teen Coco looking so miserable/angry
Agott is quite the dedicated student, but this cliffhanger leaves me a bit anxious. This crisis makes for a high stakes time for her to try to tackle outside witch work.Yet on the other hand, maybe it'll tie in nicely with what Qifrey was saying about life itself being the best teacher.
>>287903039Tartah is in a very complicated place.
Would the Atelier girls approve if someone used AI to draw a spell?
>>287903074
>>287902938i don't feel the need to choose
Wait so they have to keep Coco a secret from the jannies but the previous episodes made it seem like everyone already knew about her due to rumors. Am I missing something?
Why do people call this show an industry plant
>>287903104Yeah, thought Gojo already got the approval from the higher ups to take Coco on as an apprentice, unless this is an early story retcon the anime kept for some reason?
>>287903104>>287903122it will be explained
>>287903140With sex?
>>287903121the author is woke (by japanese standards, not the same level as american wome), which makes some anons extremely mad, so they regularly come here to shitpost about it.since episode 5 was really popular they pivoted from calling it a flop to calling it an industry plant that doesn't deserve its own success.
>>287903171This is the real evil AU
>>287903171Lenco a cute
>>287903188
>>287903104Olruggio didn't know Qifrey got permission by his superior because he stays cooped up in his room working/travels for work and never socializes. Spoilers for the next couple episodes: the Knights can still unilaterally decide to wipe her memories anyway should they deem her dangerous.
Is the anime superior to the manga or should I just read ahead of the episodes?
>>287903214Shouldn't this have been Qifrey's first response then?>Hey bro I already got permission to do this.sounds way simpler than>Here's my motivation for doing this alongside the girl's tragic life story please feel bad for her. Oh and also keep her a secret even though everyone else already knows...
>>287903238anime has elevated the manga but the manga is still fantastic, go read it
>>287903251Spoilers again: there are tensions between the Three Wise i.e. the witch leaders at the Great Hall one of which is Qifrey's mentor, and the Knights Moralis i.e. the military force Watchful Eyes like Olruggio are supposed to answer to. One of the Wise is supposed to also be the leader of the Knights Moralis but some of them take really hardline stances against forbidden magic.
What stops witches from just bribing their watchful eyes to not snitch to the magic government?
>>287903277I see. So everyone knows except a certain subset of the jannies who would be strongly against it. They're doing a really poor job then lmao.
>>287903305Nothing. Qifrey and Olruggio in particular have a gigantic conflict of interest going on because they're childhood best friends/supreme fujobait.
>>287903238Both are really excellent. Manga is drawn better but the adaptation is doing a fantastic job at animating it and adding some more "meat" to the scenes.
Is this his best shot?
>>287901103I could barely watch episode 6omg besides good animation this show has literally nothing going for it.
>>287903335>adding some more "meat" to the scenes
>>287903342It's got nice 15th century vibes
>>287903342treat it like a slice of life with interesting world building and you'll enjoy it a lot more
>>287903305My read on it is that Qifrey is lowkey doing this by letting his lolis sneak into Olruguy's bedroom at night as he lets his door purposively open for them
>>287903862Will Agott finally go full dere when she regains the floof?
>>287902654The beard is so that people will take him more seriously, isn't it
Is Agatto a tryhard? If you can't draw magic flawlessly during a bit of a storm, how can you call yourself a witch?
>>287901139that's excellent news>>287901505Sensei is badass even if most of the time acts really kindly
>>287903987Well she can't call herself that. She is an apprentice. That's the point. She still has 3 tests to master before that happens. Right now she isn't even allowed to draw infront of muggles.
>>287903931that's what I do as well...
>>287903913She's already so dere it's honestly surprising she doesn't get permanent heart pupils when looking at Coco.
>>287904171She is still partly in denial.
>>287901139Yeah turns out people just don’t like woke shit
>>287903074Knights Moralis would be burning datacenters to the ground if the knowledge to draw spells ended up in some muggle AI model.
>>287901139This is just a bootleg Arsnotoria.>bro I swear something deep is going on, but meanwhile look at the little girls doing magic and shit
>>287901139It's trying to appeal to HP fans (women) but it's too much of a liberal female fantasy to appeal to anyone else.
>>287903238Both are shit but in the anime Coco forgets about her mother after 2 mins of living with Gojo. In the manga she forgets after 1 min.
>>287901139Hypetards don't want to watch a group of 10 year old girls running around casting spells
>>287905129I'd be willing to watch it, only IF it was a completed story. I'm not getting involved with a never ending story and mangabait.
Cover of the ED single.
>>287905313cocool...
>>287905313Coco finally had enough
>>287903238You can't go wrong with either. Watch the anime then jump to the manga
Episode 7: river incidentEpisode 8: Knight moralisEpisode 9: Qifrey vs Iguin and Coco getting sickEpisode 10: Tartah arc and pretest stuffEpisode 11-13: Test arcWould that make sense?
>>287905313Punished Coco
>>287905527I think 7 and 8 are a lock, but afterwards they'd have to up the pace quite a bit to fit all that compared to what they've done so far.
A catto
Why do people call this a yuri series?I read the manga, there was no Yuri in it
>>287905313I can’t believe Coco killed them all…
>>287905313Is Coco the first aurafarming loli?How do she looks so fucking cold so easily
>>287905579It's a yuri + yaoi recipe but it's still cooking
>>287905117Some anons speculated that Shirahama hadn't yet figured out all the worldbuilding details in the first chapter, which is why Coco's reaction to her mother's petrification is understated and kind of played comedically, whereas in the anime she really freaks out because by then the stakes of forbidden magic had been firmly established in the manga.I also like the change in ep 3 that Coco instead recalls her mother's teachings rather than the memory of watching Qifrey draw on the cloth when she does her first test.
>>287905313The strongest...
>>287905577Agato
>>287903305Nothing, these two are massively corrupt themselves, and one of the leaders of the witching world facilitates that.
>>287905657Quiffrey is that old creep's boytoy
How long would Coco have stayed in the bathroom if the stew really was over two years old?
>>287905636I think we see enough of Coco brooding and feeling discouraged to remember what the stakes are for her without her having to go "muh mum" in every situation.
>>287905671However long it would've taken to wash her mouth out after she vomited it back out.
>>287905313All those deaths, Coco.... and for what?
>>287905665They're the same age, they used to be cute shotas together.
>>287905671I've heard in some countries they have perpetual stews going on in certain places for decades
>>287905724I wasn't referring to Oggy
>>287905313https://x.com/Hak_Nakamura/status/2051308365519679780>When producing the ED theme, the inspiration we received from director Ayumu Watanabe was>"I want the ED to embody despair. I want a perspective from gloomy, wicked forbidden magic. A despairing melody that's unforgettable once heard. I want the artist to deliver a gut-punch of hope in the chorus—that razor-thin resolve to stand up in the split second when you feel the truth, battered and on the brink of death, is about to vanish."
>>287905734Beldaruit a cute, do not slander.
>>287905701Coco does have the biggest kill count in the series
>>287905313That's a really cool picture, visually.
>>287904396What the fuck are you talking about? This show has had nothing woke in it. That's not even a thing japan does.
>>287901926in 2-3
>>287905743>A despairing melody that's unforgettable once heard.It's unforgettable alright. It's impossible to forget how fucking SHIT it sounds.
>>287905979I think it's fine
>>287905934stop replying to yourself
>>287903987>Is Agatto a tryhard?Autistic.
>>287901103>What's the tax policy of this setting?Blood. Not necessarily your blood, but blood none the less.
>>287906029Meds.
Is it possible to produce a spell that could allow people to hang out and smoke weed and fill their bellies with diet soda and play Burnout: Revenge for the PS2?
>>287901103>tax policypay your witch, muggle!
>>287905901Coco looks abusive
Am I retarded if I was enjoying this perfectly fine right up until I found out that this was being shilled by the UN and now I have to second guess if my enjoyment was real or if I'm falling for (((tricks)))
concern trolling again award
>>287906187Wow I totally can't tell that this is a post by the thread schizo pretending to be a normal poster!
The more i watch this the more coco feels like a self insert
>>287901182>Coco is cuter than Frieren and Fern But frieren and fern are legal tho
>>287905979It's grown on me.
Coco will take the Brim
>>287906425She will job to Agott if she joins the Brimhats.
>>287906425They are the good guys so yeah.
Female Witch and Wizard are boring without a strong beefy Barbarian/Fighter to accompany/protect them.
Gojo...
>>287906425They made her kill her mom
Agott? More like fagott!!
>>287906479>>287906463Based

>>287906463That's what the brushbuddy is for
>>287906536>ArkomeIt's funny how her last name is its own can of worms which thankfully doesn't come up as often.
Do Coco and Agott ocassionally sleep in the same bed together?
>>287901139>but it’s clearly not landingwe're six episodes in, anon. Frieren took time to get going too. That being said I don't think it'll be anything like Frieren because Kakashi and his loli harem aren't going to be nearly as relatable as the autism trio.
>>287906495The big breakthrough will be them convincing Coco it was the lack of knowledge (caused by the Pointed Hats) that petrified her mom, not the Brimcaps
So this is like the owl house then?
You mean Goi?
is agott boy or girl? i keep getting yurishit vibes
Post Goytt
>>287906678*Yurigem vibes
>>287906678She's librarian
>>287906700>Yurigemoxymoron
For an anime where the power system is (designing) drawing, I'd expect Coco to be someone with the FREEST imagination and creativity to create and innovate a bunch of magic out of her ass, but so far she's very uncreative and incompetent. All she has is TENACITY and TANOSHII.
>>287906604>Frieren took time to get going too.No it didn't it was an instant hit and propelled into the mainstream with the Aura episode
>>287906715more like a tautology
>>287906735Aura was like the midseason finale
>>287906759there's not a single yurishitshow worth watching unironically. at most there are some decent yuribaits
>>287906727She started learning like a week ago. Give her time.

Will Coco ever do better with a pen or will she make a smaller version of her tool?
>>287906839It'll be a long time before she gets her personal pen

>>287906923Just use is to pre-draw circles and be left with just one dot of a sigil, problems weren't.
>Compass fags are going to get BTFO in the next episodeCan't wait
How many pages are adapted per episode?
I feel like it's too easy for someone to "accidentally" figure out magic when there's spells painted under stones or whatever. I think the mangaka should've added another requirement for the magic to come together. Like maybe the ink the magicians use is extremely diluted and barely visible to the naked eye unless you wear special glasses.
>>287901103>>287901139Both these shows have dogshit world building and is basically Isekai-lite tier. The only recent fantasy with good world building was Dungeon Meshi
>>287907371>take apart magic contraption>See magic circle>trace it>doesn't work cause no magic inkhuh I guess there's more to magic, too bad I wasn't born a witchIt kinda works anyways.
>>287901926it happens when Qifrey finds the special ink bottle, so not next episode maybe the one after
I've been unimpressed with Witch Hat Atelier so far. Right from the start it lays it on really thick with Coco's constant "Wow isn't magic AMAZING!" dialogue as if to try to convince the audience that what it's showing is interesting when most of it is pretty bog-standard.
>>287906904i remember stabbing someone with one of those back in middle school
>>287907517Call the knights moralis hes drawing magic on someone's body!
>>287907463Yeah but the fact that there are magic circles at all is already supposed to be a secret.
>>287905934>That's not even a thing japan does.Its not as obvious as your typical western media, but if you're a nooticer you will notice. If you're not then honestly be thankful, it means there are more shows out there for you to blissfully consume and enjoy.
>>287907540It's remains a secret because anyone who puts two and two together gets disappeared by the witch secret service
Why is there so much sexual tension between the litle girls and the adult men in this show?
>>287907540not really. The secret is only that you can activate magic JUST by drawing it with the right ink. That's all it is. Obviously to keep that secret, witches will gaslight you into believing that the circle isn't all there is to magic when in fact it really is.So its really easy to figure out once you SEE a witch "casting" a spell hence all the rules for casting in public. However from an outside perspective there could be any amount of additional steps for it to work so its really hard to figure out from this standpoint. Basically its a pretty good example of the solution being hidden in plain sight in my opinion.
>>287906904I don't get the impression that drawing working circle is hard for anyone but beginners.
>>287905313Full pic
>>287907623this whole sequence of panels was so standout in the manga that I wasn't surprised they couldn't quite translate it to the anime.
>>287907506What is wrong with you
>>287907540They would lose the ability to help the majority of the population if they weren't able to show anyone a magic circle ever.
>>287907688>250 likes at 500k viewsDamn, they beating his ass.
>>287907688literal retard take can't emphasize with the wonder a kid can feel about thingsI bet he consumes wish fullfillment "aurafarm" slop on the regular with a brain this regressed.
>>287907688it's a normal reaction of a grown-ass adult, though it doesn't explain why is he watching child cartoons in the first place
>>287907540>Yeah but the fact that there are magic circles at all is already supposed to be a secret.No it isn't.

>>287908176hooeee! now I need Sakura in Coco's outfit
>>287906991This relies on you knowing what spells you have to cast when you arrive to a crisis. Witches to have a stockpile of spells they carry around. But they also do fieldwork where they might need a whole new type of spell regularly.
>>287906086It's right next to the spell that allows you to feel the high of playing Halo 2 at a LAN party with the bros in 2004.
>>287907540Nah, that isn't a secret. In the first episode Qifrey points out that the carriage wheel's spell circle was worn down and no one is surprised. What they don't realize is that there's no further hocus pocus to the magic beyond that spell circle. An ignorant muggle would obviously imagine that there'd be something more to it.
>>287907649The blood of the fallen is the strongest ink.
Thinking about her in bed
Is Qifrey stronger than Iguin
>>287906773Based.
>>287908850I can see it now. The magic ink was people. The right call is to let the magic go away. And it's a metaphor for growing up. Somehow.

>>287911584I hope the next season/cour won't take them as long, but I don't mind if it does if they keep the production on the same level.
>"can I trust you to guard this door and not take a peek inside?">"sure">*breaks her promise*>"can I trust you to keep The Biggest Secret?"You cant just suspend your disbelief for this show, you have to turn your brain off completely.
>>287911584Given that season 2 (up to episode ~25) seemed to already be half produced going by the behind-the-scenes stuff, I have hope for that.But season 3, if we ever get it, I can only pray looks half as good as this.
Wtf is with this ugly tumblr art? It doesn’t even look like coco.
>>287911584I'm glad it's not mappa slop
>>287911781Her personal stakes for keeping the latter promise are immensely higher.
>>287911812Fan artists are often more enthusiastic than talented.
anime only here, just started watchingthis guy is tattooed with magic circles all over, isnt he?
>>287901139Is not really that surprising really. Same thing happened to Dungeon Meshi. I believe there are key factors as to why they are not reaching the same leven of popularity>FrierenHas romance Frieren herself is a cute loli elfFantastical monstersSex appealThere's actionIt's "deep"This is what makes Frieren more appealing to a larger demographic. Hat Atelier, on the other hand, has a SoL story themed around magic, which is not everyone's thing. The main cast is a bunch of lolis, and the story seems mediocre at best. It's also hard to grab complete attention when all people say about this show is how woke it is.
>>287912035
Man… why are these xitter fags so mean to my boy tartah…
>>287912056yeah, sorry I cant keep secretsI bet he also has something extra cool hiding behind the black lens in his glasses
>>287912105He is kind of in the way and it feels like the author has been playing favorites lately, but I like him. Bug Films are also bullying him though.
>>287912035Only a womb tattoo. >>287912105He's a rapist.
>>287912043>It's also hard to grab complete attention when all people say about this show is how woke it is.The xitter algorithm is tuned to shovel all the shit that gets engagement out of you right in your face. I personally haven't seen anyone outside of /a/ calling the show woke, and I'm getting a shitton of WHA on my feed.
>Ininia x Tartah
>>287912145I think the slow pace of the manga exacerbates this. Coco x Tartah seemed like a done deal for years, until him betraying her. Coco x Agott seemed to be a crackship until the last arc. But the story isn't anywhere near a conclusion yet.
>>287912271I think the only instance where will see any romance in this series in a timeskip at the very end where its implied at best
>>287912359Maybe, but it's hard to predict where things will go after the festival shook up the status quo and the general storytelling so much. I feel we're just barely over halfway through.
>>287912271The only real ship is Richeh and her cute doggy
>>287912436He needs to cut those bangs covering his eyes, he looks like a shotafied hentai MC while in human form.
How many more chapters do you guys think wha got left?
>>287912470Dunno, there are still a lot of bosses left
>>287912470I can't see it going on for less than 30 volumes, and we're at the start of volume 17. There's still a lot to go over, and the main conflict is too complex to easily resolve it and wrap it up with a nice bow.
>>287912470Doesn't feel like it's any close to the end. We still haven't even seen the third test.
>>287905724Wait is that cover art? Are there actual chapters focusing on young Qifrey/Olruggio?
So I'm reading Japanese Youtube Comments and the primary pain point for Japanese viewers seems to be that Coco is way too naive and careless, especially since they see Coco as someone who's supposed to be more mature given that she's already helping her mom in the store.I know that will be fixed before the end of this season, especially if we get Coco's nightmares chapter but the question is if Japanese viewers would stick around by then.
>>287912576Yes, there was a flashback arc relatively recently.
>>287912576It's the cover of volume 16, most of which is a young Qifrey/Olruggio flashbacks. The relevant chapters are 89-93.
Did you catch a Monster Hunter reference? It was when she fried the potato thing, she said the jp bbq line.
>>287912588I dont know what they expect from a literal child
>>287912662I didn't, that cool.
>>287912588Youtube comments are retarded in the west, why the fuck do you think they're any better in the east.
I like Richeh.
>>287912588I'm glad the manga took the characters' development slowly and that the anime is adding even more to it. The need for instant gratification is the enemy of good storytelling.
>>287912799Is she autistic
>>287912883She had to let out a really loud fart but kept holding it in because the noise would've distracted her.
>>287907403Fantasy fans be like I don't care if the narrative and character sucks I need my worldbuilding. The most important aspect of the story is the wolrdbuilding dudeeeee the worddbilding
>>287912883Worse. She's artistic.
>>287912588That is a fair criticism. Coco doesn't openly show a lot of trauma from what happened to her mother until a good bit into the series. She's largely operating under a viewpoint that fixing her will be easy for much of the early manga, and that can be very alienating if you're expecting a little girl to actually act like a traumatized little girl that petrified her mother. Coco's enthusiasm for magic, unbridled by a fear that she could easily redo what happened to her mother, is not totally relatable.
Is Agott goy
>>287912145It feels like the author hates Tartah or just couldn’t care less about him… but yeah, she definitely cares wayyy more about Agott than him. This monthly wait is killing me. I just want to see how Tartah and Coco reconcile again…
>>287913331She definitely likes Tartah.
>>287913351I want to believe that, but I highly doubt it. She didn’t even say happy birthday to him on her xitter account…
>>287913331Maybe as a love interest, but what he's got going on now storywise is great and much more involved than what he used to be. I do feel extremely bad for Nolnoa though.
>>287913394>Nolnoa looking for Tartah in the last panelOuch... I hope he doesn't think he's dead.
>>287913394Ya I suppose so… I also feel terrible for poor Nolnoa, tartah is basically his sonT-T
>>287913481I assume Coco told him something, but I don't know whether to be honest and say he defected to the Brimhats or lie and say he was abducted by them would be worse.
>>287913366He has too much plot attached to not be a character she likes.
>>287913685Literal natalist propaganda. I can feel my synapses rewiring to want to have a dozen children now.
>>287913712>I can feel my synapses rewiring to want to have a dozen children now.with Coco, right?
>>287913712Me? I just want to adopt a pet brushbug.
>>287913510I wonder. She hasn't been shown to have told anyone about Tartah and Custas and no one has mentioned them at all since it happened.
>>287913875stay there
>>287913842Modern au coco would either be an artist or a seamstress.
>>287913892Why? T-T
>>287913875I don't know. I think his actions are justifiable considering the immense pressure he was in. Coco herself is not convinced about keeping everything secret.
>>287913875It was a pretty nasty moment for him. He'd have to do a hell of a lot to redeem himself to her, and even in that case I don't know if they'd ever be able to be friends like before.
Custus or whatever should've been perma-tree'd. His story and character arc was finished and it would've driven home how horrifying Quilfrey's situation was and given the arc a darker end.
>>287913875Go back and kill yourself.
>>287914202Sorry for whatever I did man…
>>287913875Bro, STOP wtf are you doin'
>>287913875>violating trust and consentthese can't be real people
it pains my heart but we might need to prune some of our dear WHA watchers and thread users behind the barn
I thought they were vegan, but they eat meat. I’m disappointed.
>>287915011These little girls must grow big and strong.
>>287914698Sexual assault imagery was definitely played with in that scene.
>>287909251It's funny. He has all that now and he is still not happy.
>>287915310If he's happy he dies.
>>287912035No he's just a completely normal tree
>>287906904I thought of that. Also movable type for different sigils would be pretty effective.
>ED music stops
>>287907571Tell me, specifically, what about WHA is woke, and how.
>>287905577A cat is fine, too.
>>287913743Who can she even tell besides Qifrey? Forget whether he joined the Brimhats or not. He has a tatoo now. If she tells the wrong people and word gets out the knights will have a 'mindwipe on sight' order for him
>>287908789>This relies on you knowing what spells you have to cast when you arrive to a crisis.You always have to draw circles, so just make blanks?
>>287915606>>287906217
>>287915366He will live a long life then. He just needs to keep away from Coco
>>287915642That's my point, that since she probably didn't tell anyone anything, Nolnoa most likely thinks Tartah died or something happened to him. Either way, poor man.
>>287916314The anime removed his cape in this scene, he's just in his black skintight shirt.
weird how people turning into stone become a motif in anime
Post wok*
so, what are the rules of the circles? been told is a bit more robust/comprehensive than most magic systems
>>287916925ok?
>>287916943you draw a circle and some squiggles inside and stuff happens
>>287916943a big spell needs a big circle and i think a good circle makes the spell more stable
>>287916925Best I can do is a cookpot
>>287916943here are the basics. More rules and runes get introduced as the story goes on
>>287906463t. faggot
>>287917020what happens if you make weird rune-like symbols instead of the standard ones?
>>287916943ummm its like signs and stuff inside of circles??? kind of complex so i just copy designs from this cool picturebook i got haha
Hey, does anyone have the memory wiping spell? Asking for a friend.
I'm going to predict that the twist is that the runes are artificial, and not actually needed to do magic
>>287908956>right hand disappears in second panelWhere do you think it went?
>>287917075Unsure. Maybe nothing? Maybe you find a new rune? The manga hasn't really explained yet where those runes come from or how witches figured them out for the very first time. The last arc explained a bit more about the trees that give the magic ink, so I hope it will be explained someday too.
>>287912271>Coco x Tartah seemed like a done deal for yearsLiterally no one thought this.>Coco x Agott seemed to be a crackship until the last arcUnironically retarded.
>>287912588>Coco is way too naive and carelessIf she wasn't, she wouldn't have even met the brimhat who gave her the book in the first place.
>>287901103is it true that dub has cute english voices
>>287917090I can't remember where I left it.
>>287917109The ink is the magic. The runes just give it form. If you use no runes at all it will only create a shockwave.
>>287917274All toddlers are naive and careless. People are bothered that Coco is still that way after getting her mother turned into a Houseki no Kuni cast member.
>>287917333>was browsing some Houseki no Kuni fanart just a few moments ago>suddenly this postGET OUT OF MY HEAD
>>287917333She is mature, in regards to helping run a shop and handling textiles. But she isn't going to suddenly become as mature as the adults overnight when she's just been thrusted into a world completely foreign to her.And regardless,, she's like 10 or something. Nips have had their minds rotted by manga that have middle school student councils run by 500 IQ savants that also run the world on the side.
>>287901926It was mentioned somewhere that they're re-shuffling the order of some events, so I'm not sure. But most likely sometime this cour.
>>287917527Coco is already a 500 IQ savant. She just needs some time to get used to the world. Another year or two and she will be ruling witch society.
>>287917730She really becomes so based by the end of the festival arc.
>>287916943>more robust/comprehensive than most magic systemsNot more than anything else in existence so it seems >>287917020
>>287917288Oru has a funny Yorkshire accent.
>>287918044cute
muslim harry potter anime soon
6 episodes in and its still nothing. Feels like were still at ep2When do we actually get into the meat of the stroy?
>That critical tweet about the story has 1.5 million views but only 500 likesHoly shit
>>287906362>But frieren and fern are legal thoSo is Coco in her medieval world.
>>287918545Next episode we'll meet the really threatening villains. But the meat is in the problem-solving to deal with threats in typically unexpected ways. That and the characters experiencing great emotional suffering.
>>287918444Why is she fat?
I want a brushbuddy so bad...I know I could just get a ferret but they're stinky and break your heart in a couple years like all small mammals.
>>287918965How many chapters will be adapted in this season?>>287919002Why brimhats hasn't made small mammals with longer life spans?
How would be the story if Coco's mother were the one being occult otaku and turning Coco into stone?
>>287919142an
>>287919075Episode 6 ran to the end of chapter 9. It is conceivable that we'll pick up some pace for the next bits and skip a certain pair of chapters, but we'll probably cap off somewhere in the late 20s.
>>287901139Since the other witch guy showed up, I've only seen fujos who apparently read the manga have been hyping this up and calling it gay.With a fanbase like this, I already lost all interest in reading the manga. It's not popular despite the stellar animation for a reason I guess.
>>287918945Middle America is flyover country even in a native isekai.
Shirahama-sensei revealed that the Brushbug species is a type of rodent. It can grow pretty long, but the maximum length hasn’t been officially documented.[From 2022 AniManGaki Q&A]
This show isn't as popular as Frieren because it's boring. Frieren has a gripping first episode, regular episodic adventures, and some shounen fight arcs. This show has nothing. Nothing ever happens.
>>287919343Now that I think about it, Are scholar non-wizards goyims in the WHA's world? or you can only be an intellectual if you're from the pointed hat chosen tribe?
>>287919358Frieren is boring but yeah, this one is just a fujofest with nothing the offer.
>>287919450The pointed hats are only experts in magic. They let the normal humans have every other science. Especially medicine. Any witch who studies that shit gets the mindwipe treatment.
>>287919358The fagflags also abandoned Frieren after Stark x Fern got confirmed. They moved here, but to normal people, their praise for this show is just a big red flag.
>>287902654wtf? He looks like an isekaid Japanese salaryman
>>287919358More happened in the first episode of Frieren than all these 6 episodes put together.
>>287919358No shitthis show is for woke Westeners who were too offended over Frieren because of the whole "demons are racist" thing. Atelier is the final boss of anime and manga made for covid tourists
>>287911887this has SOVL thoughbeit
>>287919312The only thing the manga has going for it is the art. The art is fantastic, but the writing is mid at best and often much worse.
>>287918044Was not prepared for that, really caught me off guard. Spent the entire time saying dumb shit quietly to myself in the accent (or my best attempt at it)
>>287901139It's just too fucking boring. As >>287912043 mentioned Frieren at least has real action and battles from time to time. WHA has nothing. It's just a bunch of girls messing around, but without the funny or relatable aspects of real CGDCT like Hibimeshi or NNB have.
>>287912043DM had a little bit of sex appealThis one is too woke for that
>>287920088Nah, the writing is very solid.
>>287920088Not even. The art itself is fine but the character design is plain and uninsteresting. To be expected from a comic artist. And of course the writing is mediocre, no one would a brain is discussing that.
>>287920449Nah, the designs are great. Iguin is one of the best evil wizard designs around, and the Knights Moralis have an excellent uniform. Ininia's hat alone would put the character design in the top tier.
>>287920547No. There are awful.
>>287920591>a nerd looks like a nerdYeah? No kidding? Swiggity, swoogity, I'm coming for that frontal lobe.
>>287920547>evilPrejudice. He is raising the one who will fix their broken world for good.
>>287920611You can make a nerd an not making him look like a lib arts faggot.You just posted another faggot.There's a reason all you can find about this series is fujoshit. The designs are just unappealing for anyone without XX chromosomes or HRT addiction.
>>287920591This dude looks like crap
>>287920670You could go for a poindexter, or you could go for the frumpy english major. She went for that for him, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you want the STEM geek, look at Tartah's geezer master. If you don't get the appeal of the KM's paladin uniform, there's no fixing you.
>>287917288I like that Tetia has a French accent, and that the pen dudes from before were Scottish. It all adds a bit of texture to things. Coco does a good imitation of the JP voice, but is less standout. Can't place the British ones too precisely as I don't need a loiscence to wield my accent, but Richeh is cute and sounds like a really posh Brit accent to me, while Agot is more middle class and Quifrey has an educated accent. It adds nice texture to the characters imo.
>discussing dubJust when you thought these threads couldn't get any more sad
>>287901103Since browns and blacks are canon in this universe, when will Shirahama write a subplot about illegal immigrants commiting rapes and crimes and get away with it?
>>287920764I know your sort, and I heavily doubt you have anything resembling a real opinion on it.
>>287920808That is more of an American soldier problem.
>>287920811I know your type, too and I doubt you have any real opinions. On anything whatsoever.
Where's the energy for the spells coming from? Do they ever run dry?
>>287920968The ink seems to generally degrade with time.
Young Luluci was super adorable
>>287901139Its a Otome/Shoujo.All men are cute and handsome and all women are enemies of the protagonist. A very specific niche that never fit in bigger audiences
Daughter!
>>287921091>breast already that big.Why are Coco and co. still flat?
>>287921245She looks closer to 15-16 or so here, while the Coco Corps are still like 10-12.
>>287920968They should make a classical our world physical study of this phenomenonWe saw something like this in Railgun
>>287921245Twitter-like dialogue
>>287921152Daughter!
Real talk: how would you change this series to give it mass appeal? Would making it explicitly yuri work?
>>287921485Do what Frieren does: battle action.
>>287919358Atelier is the opposite of what japs loved about frierenFrieren appealed to the costumbrism and traditional side of the japs with alot of emphasis at the backgrounds and the country side outside of the city.Atelier is more dynamic and louder. Its more for the westerns than eastern
>>287921544So basically, it's Owl House but without lesbians? No wonder it's so boring.
Coco as a character feels super flat all she really has is "wow magic so cool" and "I have to undo my mom's curse" and both these points get repeated in virtually every single scene with her.
>>287921585She's an otome self-insert. She's supposed to be boring, just the like women reading the story.
>>287921571Funny enough. The mangaka likes owl house
>>287920968Shit just happen, they don't even seem tired after casting spells.
>That critical tweet about the story has 2 million views but only 600 likesholy mother fuckin' shit
>>287919358>This show isn't as popular as Frieren because it's boringbut frieren is boring?
why would they be tired, they're just drawing stuff with magical ink. maybe drawing for a few hours would start to make their shoulders ache. Witches gatekeep the secret that magic ink is the only thing that sets them apart from muggles
>>287920591hes supposed to look like a faggot nerd
>>287921509I wouldnt be surprised if they have qifrey and easthies fight a little
>>287921585well have to wait till season 3 for punished coco
>>287921485Remove the woke stuff.No gays, no blacks, no tumblr tier messages, no vitiligo, no disability for virtue signaling, no tigger warning, no yuribait. Turn Gojo into a hard manly mentor.Make his boyfriend straight and give him a real beard.Turn Faggot into a boy.Make the plot actually good.That's it, pretty simple.
>>287921544>frieren>emphasis at the backgroundsFrieren has some of the most uninspired environmental art I've ever seen. Genuinely there is not a single part of that manga that actually has an interesting environment and the anime could only put so much lipstick on that pig. Look at the totally ridiculous bridge episode.
>>287921723So, the true danger is the tree and knowledge how to make ink from it
>>287921607That tells you all you need to know
>>287921774>Turn Gojo into a hard manly mentor.American brainrot. No one in Japan likes this shit.
>>287921780>uninspired environmentalThe kind of thing the japs love about frieren is that the series reminds them to the country side and being unspired and good drawings with many scenes of the characters sat down and enjoying the journey is what made them love frieren.
>>287921866You're a sissy retard
>>287921875There are good countryside manga, but Frieren's is just totally bland. It doesn't even have a Japanese inspired aesthetic to give nostalgia. Instead you get AutoCAD western buildings placed haphazardly in empty environments.
>>287921966Better than WHA
>>287921973No. WHA has some fun environmental design. The Dadah Range was literally just a bunch of floating balls and it was more imaginative than anything in Frieren.
>>287921998Different doesn't mean good.And that supposed imagination definitely doesn't translate the dialogue and plot. They can't be more bland and uninspired.
>>287922048You're now trying to change the subject. You were making a claim about the quality of Frieren's world design and style.
>>287922048id say the whole thing with the silverwood trees is pretty interesting.
>>287922093I'm not the same anon.
>>287922125Fine. Then I'd say the plot of WHA does take multiple interesting turns and puts the characters in situations where they have to develop stronger and more interesting personalities to cope and succeed. For example, I'll easily admit to not really liking Coco as a protagonist early on, but during the festival arc she developed substantially and became a far more interesting person by the end of it that I grew to enjoy reading. Those like Richeh also were written quite well and had a nice balance struck regarding her desires and relation to the world. Custas was compelling as a child antagonist whose anger was justified and put the protagonists in difficult positions in a philosophical sense.
>>287921485Make it not gay like Frieren did with Fern and Stark. Right now, only tumblrtards praising fujo/yurislop are enthusiastic about this.
>>287922167>shilling wokeslop this hardZzz
>>287922185
>>287922167Too each their own, I guess.I can't stand that woo-is-me pajeet and he's one of the reason why the festival namek felt like a drag to read for me.
>>287922170This. Fern is a cutie. WHA has a bunch of fruity men instead.
>>287922170Isn't the Gojo teacher the love interest?
>>287922220>woo-is-meHard to know who are you talking about when that describe half the characters in this series.
>>287922220I'd plausibly agree that he might have been better off in his own arc separate from the conflict in that arc as there was a bit of a too-many-cooks issue. But his inclusion also contributed to one of the strongest arc conclusions I've read in a recent fantasy manga. So in the end it was worth the pervious plot digressions to deal with him. And to be fair, woe-literally-was-him.
>>287922227manga readers outside of this site keep claiming he's a fag so I doubt itmight be another fujo delusion but I'm not interested enough in the manga to read it myselfI only picked this up because the animation was nice
>>287922306The manga only gets worse and more gay. Don't waste your time.
>>287922330Just quit while you're ahead.
>>287901139Doesn't have the same eternal/evergreen storytelling/mythos that Frieren has. I like Atelier so far but it feels like a disposable show for me as opposed to something I'll cherish forever like Frieren.
>make shit float>WOOOOOOOWSo that's why people like Avatar so much huh.
>>287922412its about creating cool looking places with stories behind them
>>287919358So which twitter post did you get that opinion off this time?
>>287901139I don’t think anyone’s comparing it to Frieren. I do appreciate that shit is happening and the characters have personalities and there’s actual world building beyond village here or there and “Let’s wank off Himmel for the nth time”once per episode.
>>287922535Not that anon, but ironic considering I've never seen an anime as shilled/astroturfed as WHA, and it isn't even working.
>>287921245Luluci's ample bosom filled to brim with maternal love.
>frieren fags think they're better
>>287901139pretty good bait out of 10
>>287922698>>frieren fags>literally one schizo that probably doesn't even like Frieren
>>287922698
>>287921245yep this was written by a woman
>>287921485brimhat Coco
>>287923797>yep this was written by a womanDo we ever get a manga written by male author where female pervert tries to look at boys penises?
>>287919142Probably would have a lot more blood on her hands, especially if the Knight Moralis just told her to suck it up and accept her daughter died.
>>287922698Most frieren fans are just brownoids that only like it because it has flashy fight scenes.
>>287921485make it about a drug addicted detective trying to solve a murder in a doomed town
How much weight do you put on visual parallels?
>>287917730We need more Punished Coco, for world piece.
>>287924472Probably? Though I'm sure it wouldn't have the same cringy dialogue with the boys going:>I WILL NOT BE SILENCED HEAR ME ROARRealistically it will be played for laughs like south park's "nice" episode.
>>287924978>I WILL NOT BE SILENCED HEAR ME ROAROh, like you're doing right now?
>>287924667The second one is really blatant
>>287924996elaborate
>>287924667>Olly looks normal>Coco looks like she's wet
>>287925137That's how Agott sees Coco
>>287919358>FrierenWho the fuck cares about normalfag slop?
>>287925284wha is the definition of normalfag slop
>>287925300But according to you (Frieren fag) it's not popular with normalfags.
>>287925356Both are shit
>>287925375>non-sequiturOK
>>287925356>you (Frieren fag)haven't watched Frieren nor am I your boogeyman
>>287925396Very believable.
>>287924472Isn't that Ingoku Danchi, full on with actually raping the boy?
>>287925446Played for comedy and fap material
>>287925557Good description of your actions.
