Witch Hat Atelier Ep. 7: All of the adults kinda suck

According to Qifrey, Agott has not taken the second test. She’s not ready. How does Agott respond? She immediately slaps his hand away. She’s not quite yelling, but she’s clearly angry. Qifrey still isn’t convinced, but he hesitates. He isn’t firm. So Olruggio comes along and says that he’ll take Agott with him. And just like that, the rest of the girls want to come along as well. Bro, c’mon. This is an actual rescue mission. In other words, a life is at stake. A kid’s life! Yeah, Agott needs opportunities, but this isn’t the time for her to be testing her limits. Qifrey is not only the adult, he’s also her teacher, role model, mentor, etc. He should be putting his foot down. A person’s life is not something to trifle with, but he just lets her talk her way onto the mission? That’s baffling to me. This is the guy every other anime fan is glazing? He just looks cool, but otherwise, he’s a complete boyfailure. In desperate situations, the anime gives him every opportunity to farm aura, but he can’t even do the basic things right. He can’t control his apprentices. In fact, maybe if he had been more attentive to Agott’s needs, we wouldn’t be in this mess of a situation.

An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess Ep. 6: Back to the status quo

Someone tried to shove Bertia down the stairs, but our “villainess” is luckily fine thanks to her contracted spirit. The downside, however, is that she remains undeterred. She keeps trying to spin this off as a crucial and necessary development in the otome storyline. But as we’ve said before, this is not a game. What if Kuro is too slow to react next time? Cecil needs to stop being so hands-off and take control of the situation, lest his fiancée end up in a coma. I still want Cecil to set Bertia straight, and truly convince his fiancée to just let him love her. But for now — always for now — he’ll take matters into his own hands without looping her in. Instead, he assembles the entire Avengers into his revenge scheme.

The Ramparts of Ice Ep. 6: Right back to square one

Right off the bat, the opening hits us with bits and pieces of the relationship drama surrounding Koyuki and that Igarashi kid (dunno if we’ve been given his first name). Miki thinks she might be at fault for the whole mess, but eh… one, there was no real need for Koyuki to take Miki’s words so seriously. Two, it happened in middle school. Just move on. Put it aside, stop thinking about it, and move on with the rest of your life. It literally doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. By the time you’re in college, you probably won’t even remember any of this stuff. I know adults sound dismissive when they say this sort of thing to kids, but ugh… some things deserve to be dismissed. Trying to parse a middle school breakup from years ago is one of those things.
