Remember if you see a child doing anything suspicious, or generally appearing to be having fun, report them. Report them immediately. Failure to comply will be seen as admission of guilt. You will be lobotomized.

>>288222303He's so right.
>>288219218> anime with potential> ruined by japanese glottal and asthma voice acting> half of the scenes wasted in close-up shots in 60fps of a character picking their socks> insufferable MC and side charactersI'm watching it but not enjoying it.
>>288219218there is literally nothing wrong with ambushing and kneecapping magic gestapo pigsyou can leave them a paper with forbidden magic that'll repair their knees if they paint it on their skin
>>288221968That is basically the foundation of the modern Yuri medium.
>>288222787I'd tell you to read the manga but that's not good either
>>288223779The manga is very good.
>>288223821I'm talking about the story anon, we all know the art is great
>>288223850Well, I ain't gonna spoil that in an anime thread. But it is great, too.
>>288223821Easthies tried to prevent Coco from reaching her final form. Vinanna, Luluci and Tartah should not have stopped him, now everyone will pay the consequences.
>>288223882If "the good part" is a spoiler, it's because the parts before weren't good
>>288224088What a bafflingly dumb thing to say.
i SHAN'T be watching your slop
>>288224132I don't see why
>>288223882>steals both your bros at onceIninia is ruthless.
>>288224169Would you have gone into a Jojo thread in 2012 and started talking about how Jonathan dies at the end or how Jotaro unlocks time stop or how Pucci kills the gang? Would those discussion highlights being spoilers mean that anything before them isn't good?
>>288224235So, the 'Lord Restis' that Ininia serves is definitely stuck in a tree, right? The staff that she uses to communicate with him looks like its made from coiled branches, her research is into silverwood specifically and she is looking for some kind of evolved version of the tree symbiosis, and its why she describes herself as Lord Restis's "hands and feet". Somehow he's stayed conscious, but he can't move around anymore so Ininia has to do everything for him. It also explains why we've never seen him at Brimhat meetings, AND where the Brimhats get their magic ink from. Lord Restis is their supply. I'm likewise betting that Ininia is herself host to a silverwood seed to save her life, which Lord Restis used to heal her, explaining both her loyalty to him and her resentment towards the pointed caps for hiding healing magic from the world. From her perspective, she's a crusader of a righteous cause to help people.
>>288223882I have the headcanon she's a proto-Coco,as in another normal girl that was given magic by brimhats
>>288224235Duncecaps should fear the alpha female.
>>288224513That's Restys or however it's spelled, anon. Not a tree. Probably.
>>288224702Ah. I guess the translators changed their minds on how they were doing that name and it threw me into thinking they were different characters.
>>288224576>"Brimhat" on the hoodieIsn't that the word used in the fan translation while official has always used "Brimmed caps"?
>>288224768IIRC the individual chapters coming out monthly and the volumes have different translators, hence the discrepancies. Like "curtain leech" and "valance leech".
>>288224553Very possible.
>>288224819Yes, that's ridiculous but it's how they do it. The official digital monthly release has Lestisse while the collected volumes have Restys.
>>288224857It's so weird I'd love to know how that came about.
>>288223882Never understood why /a/ always whined about Witch Hat being boring and slow. The most popular series on here are literally nothing-ever-happens anime with girls, romcoms or school clubs. I liked WHA from the start, though it did get even better a volume or so later when the conspiracy shit intensified.
>>288225493this is because it was good from the start and these fags have no taste
Some of the latest ones have rawest panels. If Coco is ever going to go Brim, the helplessness she felt here is going to be the reason why
>>288224801I could see the official going with a longer winded TL too look more professional or something.
I wish my country would release the volumes quicker. They're still at vol. 13 right now and I prefer to read series as tankōbon. Guess I will just download the rest for now and read 7-8 chapters per month until I'm up-to-date.
>>288225532She is going to go even further beyond.
>>288225532I like this one.
>>288225532I can't wait for the day that Coco invents a spell that makes you unable to be targeted by other spells, acting as a protection against the very magics that the pact outlaws (and thus, making those forms of magic no longer frightening) and also making her outright immune to the memory wipe magic that knights use. Declawing forbidden magic and making the pact irrelevant, while also flipping a massive middle finger at the Knights Moralis by removing the only card they have to play.
>>288225493It's more that it's fucking gay and slow, and ridiculously fucking vapid.
>>288225756The only gay part of this series is Beldaruit
>>288222787>I'm watching it but not enjoying it.Why dumb?
>>288225724Coco just looks so good when serious. You can see the version of Coco that Easthies fears. Asserting dominance over Qifrey was amazing. Pity it didn't lead more reveals since it'd turn him into a tree
>>288219939That is wrong with you.
>>288225795It's the type of people who probably managed to stay awake in school as well, unlike me. My brain shuts down the second anything bores me. Not sure if good or bad.
>>288225493I'm re-reading the festival arc and it's reading way faster than it did the first time. Still really long, probably longer than it should be, but it's landing better. >>288224819That's really stupid. Is it so hard to keep a document of how specific terms are translated around to avoid that?
>>288225778Excuse me, Galga is right there.
>>288225837That's not what I mean. Why are you watching a show you don't enjoy? It's nothing like school; you had to be there even if you were bored, but this is something you're choosing to do.
>>288225811The face that Easthies sees in his nightmare
>>288225879He's been cured of the gay thanks to the memory deletion.
>>288225811>Coco just looks so good when serious. You can see the version of Coco that Easthies fears.Angry Coco is where its at. Smol, but unrelenting and ready to fight the world. Thats the part that Easthies is rightly scared of, because he sees in her someone who doesn't give a SHIT about the pact, only whether or not people are being help or saved. And worse yet, her ideals are sympathetic and pure. Difficult to contest. Easily spread to others. She challenges and erodes the pact with every action she takes and exception she carves out to save lives.Iguin got a SSR pull with this one.
>>288224819I like agatha a lot more than aggot
>>288225811My favorite moment was her blackmailing Beldaruit.
>>288219218First of all, the characters’ stupidity in this anime is off the charts, those knights who want to wipe the memory of an uninterrogated witness yet let themselves get caught off guard by a kid. After all, they could have been killed by a few archers, not to mention some kind of magical or non-magical bomb, since they’re flying so close together.It’d be better if no one accidentally invented "magic" like gunpowder.But honestly, it wouldn’t even make a difference, because if they only noticed the use of powerful magic after it blew up so hard it sent a 100-meter-high column of water shooting into the air, that means they definitely don’t have any sensors to detect it.How does this bunch of incompetent idiots plan to fight serious sorcerers?Qifley isn’t much better, he knows he’s dealing with a very dangerous thing that could even blow up a store, yet without taking any precautions, he draws a circle with it. Worse than a schoolkid.
>>288225957Should've been Agathe.
>>288225811I don't really know how the story plans to go, but given Qifrey's personality, realistically he's really risk becoming extremely emotionally dependent on Coco as she's the more emotionally tough and self-directed of the two and he can't just erase her memories to go back to how it used to be like he set up with Olruggio.
>>288226030How do they expect to fight mad sorcerers who use magic they know nothing about, when they can barely hold their own against kids in a fight, let their teacher intimidate the whole group, and are otherwise complete idiots who start off by aggressively trying to wipe people’s memories, destroying valuable evidence and hurting people for no reason? Anyway, we can already see in the anime itself that their attitude is exactly why no one wants to report anything to them, including the government supervisor sent specifically for that purpose.What could go wrong?
>>288226030Why would the knights be worried about archers? Like even in America, the home of militarized police, they don't prepare to get into a Micheal Mann's Heat tier gunfight whenever they go out to handle a public disorder incident.
>>288225904No idea man, I am dropping everything as soon as it bores me because I see no point wasting lifetime with shit I don't enjoy. I love witch hat, so I cannot relate with him, but I know that normalfags for example watch series they hate all the time. Some even outright refuse to watch anything they would/should enjoy in favor of shitty casting crap or soap operas that they get angry about or bored of. They never managed to give me a logical answer when I asked them why they do this.
>>288226013She's become really good at hitting people where they're weak. If we ever get something similar to the Sasuke retrieval arc except with Agott trying to stop/save Coco from going brim, I want to see Coco unleashing some venom on the other apprentices>>288226071The way I see it, the story is setting up for Coco to be somehow disappointed/betrayed by Qifrey's past, possibly from something she learns in the Tower of Tomes after the third exam. This causes her to go Brim since Qifrey has been pretty much the only thing holding her back since like Volume 8. Also has the side effect of giving Qifrey something to worry about forever, permanently solving Qifrey's Silverwood problem>>288226080>How do they expect to fight mad sorcerers who use magic they know nothing about,Hence the strike first, ask questions later. Can't cast magic if you don't have memories>>288226030The anime and manga don't mention it but according to the volume bonuses, their robes have defensive spells inscribed into them.
>>288226030>>288226080Another stupidity: why are the trees used to make ink and the technical documentation for the rings being kept in local labs guarded by literally just a few wizards?After all, something this fucking dangerous should be kept in the basement of a top-secret research facility accessible only to a handful of the best scientists, with everyone else kept out.Why those threes are not erased outside the labs?Because with the way things have been going so far, it’s only a matter of time before shit hits the fan.
I really want there to be a full-on conversation between Coco and Iguin. It feels long overdue now, and it would just be really fun to see Iguin praising Coco for all of her accomplishments (half of which are the results of the Brimhats almost getting her killed one way or another) and Coco just no-selling all of his ideological arguments with "Yeah, fine whatever, the pact is bullshit I get it. *Can you fix my mom or not?*"
Really hope this series gets popular enough to get doujinshi
>>288219218>trying to make this garbage show interestingliteral reddit
>>288226151>strike first, ask questions laterIt’s a shame that this stupid tactic didn’t even work on the kids, because they were caught off guard by a friend flying in and a low-level fire spell.They don’t have any intelligence, absolutely none. I mean, they have "intelligence" in the sense of a guy they sent to keep order in the provinces, but he wouldn’t dare report anything to them because he knows that saying they’re incompetent, aggressive and "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" is a heavy understatement.
>>288226206The trees pop up semi-randomly. They're preciously rare, but they grow from where animals or people die based on who gets infected by the plant's parasitic seed, therefore you can't corral them and limit their spread nor would you want to fir their rarity.
>>288226151>The anime and manga don't mention it but according to the volume bonuses, their robes have defensive spells inscribed into them.Those robes was burned by a kid>Hence the strike first, ask questions later. Can't cast magic if you don't have memoriesStrike? The attack would be like them leveling the area from a great distance with heavy bomb spells, it would be foolish, but at least it would be in line with established doctrine.Meanwhile, they’re leaving themselves open to any attack or ambush.
>>288226206>Another stupidity: why are the trees used to make ink and the technical documentation for the rings being kept in local labs guarded by literally just a few wizards?Why in the world would that make sense? How are witches supposed to get ink if they have to go to some secret basement to get it? It's an everyday necessity. Besides, that shop is only accessible to witches, only witches are allowed on the island that town is on.>>288226334Because most Brimcaps work alone. And the fact that they are kids gave them pause and not go all out.
When was the last time we saw Coco express any fear for herself? She's definitely expressed fear, but its always been on behalf of others in danger. Even when she thinks she's about to die, she's mostly just afraid that if she dies there will be no one to fix her mom.
>>288226298Literally obsessed.
>>288226423You're just making shit up now, anon. There's no point in having a conversation with you if you're just going to play calvinball and conflate things together to suit your needs.
>>288226360Well, then let those knights deal with such matters instead of harassing innocent people and destroying valuable evidences
>>288226429>And the fact that they are kids gave them pause and not go all out.Don't forget that the magic cops knew that a forbidden spell had been cast, but not WHICH girl had done it. It was only after it was confirmed to be Coco who drew the spell that he went for the memory erasure.
>>288226430Against Easthies in the medical tower. She is scared of becoming unable to save her mother, but most of her fears are about losing herself if she gets memory wiped.
>>288226423>Those robes was burned by a kidThey weren't burnt, it was just the capture banners. Those have different seals and prioritize capturing strength since they can simply repair it.>Meanwhile, they’re leaving themselves open to any attack or ambushBrimcaps usually work alone, experimenting on some Forbidden Seal or something. They're (usually) not terrorists who want to bring down society, just people with a habit of casting forbidden magic. That's why they don't expect an ambush, most Brimcaps are scriptkiddies rather than master hackers.
>>288226151After her little trip to her house in one of the recent chapters, and the conversation that followed I really can't see her go Brim anymore. Plus she has categorically rejected the idea every time she was presented with the opportunity, and if Ezrest didn't make her change her mind I don't see Qifrey's past being it either.
>>288226298I only use 4chan/mainchan.
>>288226461It’s more like Tsucc got me used to an incredible level of world-building consistency despite how messed up it is, and now my standards are too high
It doesn't matter if she ends up identifying as a brimhat. She just has to wear the cool witch outfit.
>>288226636Yes. If I never get to see her in this outfit for real, I'll declare this manga categorically bad.
>>288226591>Plus she has categorically rejected the idea every time she was presented with the opportunityHas she? She never actually says no to casting magic that goes against the pact. She's against Forbidden Magic but her definition of forbidden magic is "magic that makes people unhappy". Just look at the exact words she says, she never actually promotes the Principles. If anything, her attitude that "magic is amazing and should be used to help people" is very Brimcap. The pointed hats would stand back and not help if it would break the principles. Think about it, if the only spell that can help her mom or save Agott or whatever needs to be drawn with Blood-Ink, do you think she'll hesitate?
>>288226636Black robes and brims will always be categorically better than the rest, no matter the series and time period
>>288226591Note how she doesn't say no, she says maybe later
>>288226716I think there's two levels of Brimhattery here. Level 1: Coco will cast whatever spell she needs to in order to help people, regardless of the rules. Level 2: Coco will join the Brimhats and work with Brimhat individuals. The former is basically guaranteed, the latter is less likely unless the Brimhats suddenly become more sympathetic person by person.
>>288226560>Brimcaps are scriptkiddies rather than master hackersThat's even worse, because it means they're messing around with extremely dangerous magic without fully understanding how it works and without taking the proper precautionsNon-technical folks just don’t realize that the "programming language of reality" is something that makes an atomic bomb look like a harmless toy, and putting such power in the hands of irresponsible people is a recipe for catastrophe, or even the end of the world
Evil guy's dripping brim hat was some of the coolest shit out there. Hope we're getting more of such creative brim designs later.
>>288226807I think level 2 will happen, if only because trying to learn Forbidden magic with no teacher is a disaster waiting to happen. Coco doesn't have to do what they're doing. But she knows better than to draw seals with no idea of their effects
>>288226807Yeah that's what I mean. Working around the rules, yes. Donning a brim and joining the others, not a chance.
>>288226816In their defense, the Brimhats are keenly aware that despite their best efforts magical knowledge has been lost. There are simply forms of forbidden magic that they know *exist* but the pointed caps successfully annihilated all of the books about them, meaning that they are having to re-create ancient spells and figure out how they actually work from scratch. Those are kinds of magic that they have no choice but to use without really understanding yet, that knowledge only growing through experimentation.
>>288226893Ininia's hidden ribbon hat was also super sick.
>>288225730That one already kinda exists. The entire castle of the king is a anti magic field. Not even the leech wanted to touch that
King dude is the best boy and I hope we'll see him animated this season but probably not. He didn't appear before the festival IIRC.
>>288224702He looks like a slut.
>>288226038This was likely what Shirahama was attempting to approximate. For non-Francophiles, the name is pronounced Agat, with a breathing out sound on the final 't'. Agat-[breathe]

I wonder if the current arc will result in some separation or fracturing of the Qifrey apprentice quartet, with Jujy taking the spot. Like Tetia stays behind in the Dragonpass Isles to take care of the dragon hatchlings or something.
>>288226423What is this delusion where every character has to act like they're in Delta Force on a 'you are not allowed to fail' type mission? You mention Made in Abyss later, but it doesn't follow that standard at all. Look at Bondrewd.
>>288227506Good part is relative. Most people agree that the good part of Jojo Part 4 starts when Kira shows up. But talking about Kira when someone is just starting the manga is still a total spoiler, and it doesn't mean that the first few volumes don't have good and entertaining content. Just that what comes after is even better.

>>288229814
>>288230614In that case we can talk about arguably the most well animated scenes of the year so far - Coco's flight in episode 3 and Qifrey's water dragon in episode 5 (Frieren and JJK had bum seasons).For me, I was really impressed with how the anime managed to capture the sense of joy and whimsy that the manga had regarding Coco's flight. I could complain that they made her out to be going too fast, but the increased sense of tension was worth it. Its been a while since we last got a flight scene with that level of quality.

We've gotten a lot of Brimhat Coco art but this is the first time I've seen a Brimhat Agott piece
>>288234373That's because Agott is afraid of Forbidden magic in a way Coco isn't
>>288234402Also Coco has been convincing and rules lawyering people to draw Forbidden seals as early as Volume 5. Easthies is right, she's a brimcap
How am I supposed to suspend my disbelief that our reckless hero can point his magic sword at the commanding officer of the dispatched party of the magic inquisition in front of multiple subordinates and they just let this happen because he didn't mean anything by it he was just showing his resolve and besides they're clearly acquaintances?What the fuck is wrong with this society?

>>288234493He's actually pretty well connected himself, so the police can't actually do much about him.
>>288226767Also, even arcs later, Coco still remembers Iguin's words to her. She doesn't reject the Brimcap's words, she actually listens to them.
>>288234493They have history together.
Coco's naked Cocos!
>>288231591Everyone hates the ATF.
When it comes to fan art, as the series goes on, Agott becomes more and more the self-insert/basic stock character and Coco becomes the cooler one people build the illustration around. Coco has too much character development to stay as the ingenue. She starts becoming more of an axis that stuff pivots around because of her personality, rather than just her role.

>>288241038Bold to assume you won initiative, anon. Cope and seethe about all of the things you would do if you were allowed to... do. At all.
I'm happy to finally get to talk about the series again, threads were dead for years due to pre-emptive shitposting and general low activity.
I am firmly on the brimhat side.Mainly because brimhats just look better.
there's literally nothing wrong with lobotomizing OP
>>288240752That's why it's a punishmentIt's also the remaster
>>288241038You already fell for my illusion magic 15 minutes ago.
>>288219218If you think about it hard enough school is already a lobotomization of children.
I will create the most dumb and easiest spell to draw, it will literally be a big circle and a X inside, no fucking one would fail this spell and if you fail you fucking deserve to get your memory erased.
>'WITCH HAT ATELIER' English ADR Director Emily Fajardo used accents to build the world and tell a story>"There is a clear class divide. There are a lot of social differences between these groups of people, and I wanted that to be immediately audible, and accents are a very good quick way to do that">"In English, we automatically associate different history and class structures with these sounds, and so Coco and all the outsiders that she lives with all have the standard American accent."Thoughts? I'm not going to watch the dub.
>Just one rogue knight can cause this much chaos
>>288243569>>288226560This is what the Knights are when they stop holding back
>>288241528>>288242710>casting Wish on a forumYou will recieve knuckles.
>>288243556It's really good if you can deal with all the accents: https://x.com/BaeKuchiki/status/2056933563346698344/video/1
>>288243639Yep. A Knight Moralis that you have ganged up on you might be able to drown in numbers, but in a 1v1 a Knight thats pulling out their good shit is going to just delete basically any witch that gets within 30 ft of them. They only have to get their binding on you for a couple seconds for you to get mindwiped, and that shit is auto-aim.
>>288243556Honestly, its really solid. I gave it a try because I was watching it with normie family, and I have no issues with it. The only questionable voices in the dub cast are Tetia and Riche, which I don't think are done POORLY in any way thats just accurate to the characters. Like, Riche was always going to sound weird and Tetia was always going to sound too cutesy, and thats something that feels more intrusive in English.
Riche episode when
>>288243853If they keep the current pace and don't skip anything, it will be two more episodes before Richeh comes into focus.
Reminder that Shirahame requested Agott to be a handsome ikemen
>>288243145Sorry kid, you have to learn trigonometry and the basic meaning of oxidation and reduction. It isn't a conspiracy.
>>288243569>>288243639>>288243767Its basically the case that only the Knights are trained in combat magic.Outside of exceptions like Qifrey, most mages are not fighters, nor ever thought about needing to learn. Nor is the system set up so that they'd ever learn how to. Anyone who was openly teaching their apprentices magical combat techniques would probably be preemptively lobotomized.
>>288244159Speaking of which, Shirahama said in her episode livetweeting that Qifrey knows how to wield a sword because he traveled alone for some time in his youth and had to pick up a sword for self-defense. In his childhood flashback he did say he tried distancing himself from Olly but they'd eventually find their way back to each other.
>>288243880Next episode should have one of Agott's most ikemen appearances.
sorry fags but im rooting with all my might for tartah, he is him. grab that cocossy firmly my guy.
>>288244790Shirhama bringing him back and having him win would drive the fanbase into conniptions.
>>288243880>tsuntsun with an ikemen voiceI'd say they nailed it.
>>288219218I tried watching it, but the white-haired guy gave me major pedophile vibes.
>>288244960So?
>>288244840They'll get over it. Wouldn't be the first time the author/studio destroys a fandom headcanon and still gets away with it
I am surprised WHA hasn't been the boom one could have expected. I was expecting Frieren or even Dungeon Meshi levels of craziness over it, but nothing. I guess people aren't into witches anymore or maybe the cast being little girls turned them off
Post wokeloli
>>288245437The boom you're talking about manifested largely in ridiculous amounts of drawn porn and memes of the adult female characters, WHA simply never stood a chance at internet virality
>>288244840Coco would have to start showing signs of reciprocating anyone's feelings first. 90+ chapters of total obliviousness and zero romantic interest towards anyone on her part. You'll get your chaste hero and you'll like it.
>>288245622heroine*
>>288245622Just like in my shonens wow
>>288245622Puberty will hit her all at once, trust the plan.
brimhats did nothing wrongwe must destroy all that hold magic captive
>>288245437this story lacked the adrenaline hook that shonen or such usually have.frieren have that 'first episode' which is basically 4 episodes rolled into one viewing to better hook people into the story.the best i could think is fucking oshinoko which is pure slop and run solely from the good will of its first episode.
>>288245622Good. Romance is almost never interesting to read.
>>288245660They did plenty wrong, including destroying full ecosystems
>>288245437It's woke and uninspired. I wasn't expecting much to be honest.
>>288246194Is a volcano wrong when it erupts?
It's almost impressive how poorly written this story is.
>>288230627Sauce witch, do your magic
>>288234493He hasn’t used forbidden magic or any outlawed items, so technically he didn’t break any laws in the witch inquisition’s eyes.
>>288245437
>>288245653Coco will be in hiding as Brimcap by then
i find this show to be incredibly okay
Tetia's tetias....
>>288245437Frieren's first episode was the peak of the show. Like that is literally as good as the series ever gets. The immediate boom from that was deserved, but really whats left is just inertia. Frieren is a series with like 1 volume worth of potential that has now awkwardly tried to transition into being a battle manga while both the writer and the artist suck at drawing fights or writing adventure. Witch Hat Atelier has a slower start, but Shirahama is much better at playing to her strengths as a writer and building the series around what she's good at.
>>288246912So it literally the "it get better after 200 episodes!!!" meme
>>288246985Don't reply to me if you're going to be a retard.
>>288246912Should i listen to you or everyone else? Hmm i think i go with the majority
Someone fetch me a drawing of Coco wearing nothing but a brim hat!
>>288246912>building the series around what she's good atInserting forced diversity
>>288247256You are trying too hard.
>>288243880>tsuntsun ikemenjoshi turns into a deredere housewife bottomVery cute. Very lewd.
>>288246985I would say everything up until its great is at least good. and as for when it gets great that will be episode 11. It was the second test arc that really did it for me.
>>288244747Cool aurafarming until you remember she's like 12 years old.
>>288245437I thought I'd like this because I liked Frieren and Dungeon Meshi and this one was often brought up as similiar to those two. While the animation and art is nice, I've found the characters really boring so far. It's hard to care about what's happening to them. It's not terrible or anything but I'm not particularly excited to watch it. Ironically the most entertaining shows for me this season have had pretty shitty animation or are cgslop.
>>288248824And that she's posing like that over using wind magic to remotely grab a fruit off a shrub.
>>288246492Pixiv 144058607
>>288240472Also the Knights Moralis are literally Red Guards.
>>288222787>I'm watching it but not enjoying it.desu at this point i'm also hate watching it. everything from the world building, to the plot of the episodes, and even just how the characters interact just requires too much suspension of disbelief and i've been pulled out of being able to buy into the show and world
>>288221293The cuter the kids the cuter the brain matter you're destroying. Its all very moe.
>>288245622but anon, she's betrothed to me and she loves it
>>288251449
>>288244790Girls love being metaphorically raped.
>>288243853She's the queen of the 1st exam arc.
>>288244790tartah will fuck cocoeuni will fuck richeeolio will fuck tetialoroga will fuck agottonce it all comes to pass it shall be known as 'the day of the fuck' and a nuclear meltdown shall commence, prepare accordingly.
>>288251449>making bad posts on purpose because you hate /a/
>>288226552This is why I think anyone talking about an ending where Coco willingly erases her memory is really stupid or tasteless. It goes totally against the themes of the manga. Willful ignorance is demonstrably something the story condemns.
>>288222787samethe high quality animation keeps me watching but the emotional notes arent hitting at all. also my impression of wizards are "stupidly inefficient and unfair"
>>288252670
>>288252745yes i am rock hard.
i read the manga a month or so ago and i just don't feel like going back to it. when it takes a look at the intricancies of how the magic system works i feel the pull and curiosity to learn more, but everything else like the politics just leave me dumbfounded>the knights moralis are the only military task force the witches have, and they're oppressive while also managing to cover the entire kingdom they're assigned to with like, 10 people>the brimhats talk about making people see the truth but there's never been a case of them publically denouncing all the evil shit brim hats have ever done, when the secret is so fragile and spoiling it would cause such a massive uproar>literally just going into a busy square and shouting "anyone can cast magic with a pen and paper" >brim hats barely have any traitors despite the opressive rulethe bones of the story are really good, and if they weren't held up by a ramshackle set of ideas i'd be more hyped about it but the entire manga seems to run on wishful thinking and i can't suspend my disbelief
>>288252966There's way more knights than the few named ones we follow, it's the Brimhats that are like ten or so.
>>288252966The Brimhats aren't freedom fighters, they are egoists with varying levels of anti-social tendencies. Iguin is basically the only one with an ideology greater than, "I want to be a warlord" or "I hate everyone". Also, whats to say that they haven't done that before, and all it resulted in was a mass lobotomy incident? Magic already had to be erased from the world's mind once before. Nothing is stopping witches from doing it again if there's a leak. Make yourself a public target and the Knights Moralis will just swoop in and lobotomize the city in a few hours anyhow. That is probably what drove Iguin to seek out kids like Coco to plant in Cone Hat society. A kid that wouldn't be lobotomized for having a sympathetic backstory, but who'd be an outsider to the system that would seek to change things. Coco is uniquely competent at that, but who knows many failures he's had so far. She could be attempt #100, for all we know. There definitely are more Knights Moralis than we see. But there'd be no point to introducing a bunch more of them when the main squad fills the role well.
>>288252966>>288253030Part of the issue is that any Brimhats that would be sensible or reasonable get filtered out early by the Knights Moralis and the general paranoia culture of Witch society. Oh, you're a witch that just wants to experiment on healing babies with ass and brain cancer? Too bad, the Masque of the Red Death shows up at your door and demands you cease immediately or bye-bye to your hippocampus. And if you tell a buddy about your work in private, he's been raised from childhood to narc on you ASAP. All you got left are ones that are willing to live in obscurity, doing whatever experiments they want in top secrecy. And ones that are willing to kill a bitch to stay free. They make their own super villains by basically applying natural selection to the Brimhat species. Anything less than the sneakiest or the meanest get lobotomized early.
>>288253030it's fine to assume that it might've happened before, but without the story giving you a hint at the possibility of it happening it might aswell just be empty speculation. as it is the timeline in WHA is that using magic freely lead to it being outlawed and the general public kept in the dark about, and then an unspecified amount of time between that and now where the brimmed hats have just kind of existed in the shadows causing some chaos and basically waiting for a messiah, which at the scale of the story seems kind of retarded. like i said i don't think the premise is bad but it asks for a lot of good will from the reader to not think too hard about the social and political ramifications of a society as opressive as the pointed hats
>>288244840I'll be the first to admit to being a Coco/Agott shipper but Tartah is still an entirely legitimate option and I get the feeling part of the fanbase has developed a potentially unhealthy relationship with the work and the author where they're 100% convinced Shirahama is going to deliver on the gay ships due to her appreciation for series like The Owl House and She-ra and would likely turn on her if she doesn't, regardless of how the story would go. Even if it just remained vague like >>288245622 suggested some people would accuse her of baiting. I hope it doesn't come to that because I myself wish she'll deliver but I'm not looking forward to the exaggerated fallout if she doesn't.
>>288245437We need some character backstories.
>>288253030The Brimhats are closer to being reactionaries than revolutionaries, like they're whole goal is restoring the previous status quo that they idealize.
>>288253487I doubt Coco is going to end up with anyone at all, even Tartah. I did think it was likelier for her to hook up with him when Silver Eve's started since the arc was kickstarted by them working together but then he completely disappears from the story and Agott getting all the best hype moments with Coco. By the time, Tartah returns at the very end, it feels like the author just did it because she suddenly remembered he was around and then he disappears again. Tartah got shafted the hardest by Silver's Eve, despite literally everyone else getting their own spotlight moment.
crazy how this thread is mostly people trying to sell the idea that this series being terrible is actually a good thing
>>288253129The levels to the capture pendant and Easthies's psychotic breakdown at the end of the Silver Festival tell me that it isn't anything new. I see that you perceive the average Brimhat as wanting to replace the powers that be, when they really don't. They don't want to be bureaucrats, they want to be irresponsible wizards that do whatever they want and are just pissed that the government won't let them. They're hardly a group or an ideology. They're a loose collection of criminals with various reasons for being criminals.
>>288254771my point about the brimhats doesn't have anything to do with what their goals are, it's that for the scale of the setting they are weirdly unimpactful. with the magnitude of the events that take place in the series, like the day of the pact, and the impact witches can have on the land and its people, things seem to have stood still in terms of major events and acts of terrorism from forces opposing the pointed hats considering how borderline tyrannical their ruling force is. this is a critique of the writing itself more than anything else, the background fluff is just very weak and doesn't convincingly support the narrative of the pointed hats being able to go on with the way they do things, because no faction should be able to mind wipe their citizens for minor offenses for the sake of a rule and not spawn enemies.
>>288245437>or maybe the cast being little girls turned them offNormalfags feel like they're watching kids cartoons if too many of the cast are kids. It makes them feel insecure.Also normalfags are anti lolicon enoughj to reject a cast of little girls. Even the "anti woke" spammer hates lolicon.
>>288252105I had to look up who Loroga even was, lol.
>>288255285The world does have a bunch of 'scars' on it from unregulated magic use. But are you asking for something like giant monsters created by the Brimhats occasionally wrecking a city or them blowing up a city block and turning it into a void when a spell goes awry or something?
>>288256506The guy who spilled his spaghetti at Agott using the same exact words Agott thought about Coco while in bed the night before the festival.
>>288256812Is it gay to imagine your best friend giving you the sweetest blushing smile ever and for it to not be a reused panel from earlier but an entirely new one drawn just for this fantasy?
>>288257155why fAgott like this?
yurishit is really what this dumpsterfire needs
>>288257155>tfw cant concentrate on magic because of cocock
this anime saved my life
>>288257155About as much as Coco picturing in her mind the one character who practically never smiles giving her the sweetest smile.
>>288219218The Knights Moralis are justified, this is the WORST possible magic system to let people fuck around with
Richeh is Tomino-pilled.
>>288257170Coco brain and beauty moggs her, so what else can she do?
>>288257798She started smiling a lot
>>288258049Richeh won't let men slack off in bed in the future, then.
I'm sorry, this manga is really good but I just can't get over the fact that witch hats with brims look so much cooler>>288252966It's not just a pen and paper, you also need the special tree ink, which does make it much harder to figure out randomly. But, it is a tree that just grows in the wild, even if it might be pretty rare. Generally I agree, but while it could be done a little better maybe, like there's no fucking way realitlstically they'd just be selling contraptions with magic circles in plain view to the general public if they gave any shits about preserving the secret, the central conceit of the story was always going to require at least a bit of suspending disbelief, and mostly the stuff the author does with it is good and justifies the but of handwaving.
I realized Witch Hat is a thinly disguised Code Geass prequel and I don't know how to feel about it. Like, Coco is just straight up CC.
This show is retarded and I hate it more with each episodeDeep as a puddle
>>288258436> I'm sorry, this manga is really good but I just can't get over the fact that witch hats with brims look so much coolerThis is important, I feel. There is a reason why Brimhat Coco looks so *fucking cool*: because becoming a Brimhat is a tempting offer. Its freedom. Its empowerment. Its undoing your shackles and embracing all that magic has to offer, including the solution to your problems that the pact says you can't have or use. We, the reader, *want* Coco to meet her full potential and come into her power, and her becoming a Brimhat is thus tempting to us as well. Even though we know its as much a bad thing as it is a good one. If the Brimhats didnt look sick as hell, if Coco's Brimhat design sucked, the gravitational pull of "yes Coco, give in to the dark side its fucking sweet over here" would not be felt as strongly.
>>288251239*points finger*you
>>288253732But they're all extremely sad.....
>>288226151>I want to see Coco unleashing some venom on the other apprenticesI'm anime only and I thought the manga already had ended. PLEASE let Coco murder Faggot, that bitch can't get away with attempted murder on Coco
This latest episode just confirmed my suspicions, it's a fujo-core series.Where are the hot anime girls with watermelon sized tits and huge asses?
>>288259651Banned by the pact.
>>288252966I don't think brimhats want the masses to know how to use magic. They don't like the resttrictions imposed on it. For example the reason they want to only tell the king about magic and the ink source is to introduce a healer with strong influence on the people and have pointed cap faction lose their leverage, not to cause mass chaos. Having the plebs become aware of magic wouldn't do anyone any good.
>>288229669Hope this black haired faggot bitch dies carbonized
>>288252966>the bones of the story are really good, and if they weren't held up by a ramshackle set of ideasConvincing surface that promises systems, rules and consequences, but beneath it - just recycled mush. I'd say the bones are all thin and outside. Exactly like that other very popular show.This show just makes me want to stop and go read Wizard of Earthsea by Le Guin again. NOT the anime. Properly woke too, OLD woke.
>>288254771>I see that you perceive the average Brimhat as wanting to replace the powers that be, when they really don't. They don't want to be bureaucrats, they want to be irresponsible wizards that do whatever they want and are just pissed that the government won't let them. >They're hardly a group or an ideology. They're a loose collection of criminals with various reasons for being criminals.Anime only here, I disagree with you. If the state prohibited programming(akin to magic in our world, because programming can also be used for evil deeds in our world) I too would be pissed. Programming shouldn't be banned or only selected few should be able to use because some use to steal money or whatever else, that's retarded.ANyway I hope the state in WHA get mindraped
