EPISODE REVIEWS

Everyone had a role to play. The teamwork is great. The fantasy atmosphere is absolutely top notch.


Awesome episode, girl trying to escape the situation.
Great animation – master's scene.
Overall – a must-watch; it's getting interesting. 10/10

This is the best episode so far. The visual is so beautiful and the animation is insanely stunning. Besides that, it's great to see Coco and the others finally deepen their bonds and work together. Overall, this episode is very satisfying.

Yo tambien quiero una cama asi jajaj Me encantan las ideas de Coco. La creatividad es algo mucho muy importante



The direction in this episode is absolutely stunning! The choreography is simply amazing. The little details, the sequence of movements, and the overall craftsmanship are just incredible. I couldn't help but be completely awestruck while watching. On another note, the BGM was impressive as well. The way it blended with the intense action and cinematic animation was simply freaking amazing. I was genuinely left speechless as I watched everything unfold.

the tone of the series changes from structured training and social worldbuilding to a dangerous field expedition where magic is now directly connected to survival.
The classic element of any magical fantasy narrative: Dragons. We see a huge challenge, far beyond the expected capabilities of novice magic apprentices. The highlight of this episode is precisely Coco's Outsider perspective, as well as "childish ideas" being the solution to an adult problem. We understand a little more about why Coco is targeted by Brimmed Cap and what they aim for. The increasing tension and Qifrey's eagerness to get closer to the organization leaves us uneasy: is he an ally or someone to be distrusted?

I love Tetia's personalities, she is so charming and good. Richeh is also doing great. But Agott really really... she is such a bully. Hope she has a development soon T_T. The way this episode served absolutely great and awesome animation with great soundtrack.

Tetia is such a good girl! That bully Agott should learn from her!
A whimsical plan, cute dragon drawing, and even cutter original magic! 10/10 will cloud again.
Also Love the ending, they went hard with the spell effects at the end!

Un episodio increíble de principio a fin, visualmente espectacular y con una dirección que te genera muchos sentimientos. Me encanta el progreso de Coco y el resto de chicas, cómo cada una aporta y ninguna se queda atrás. Momentos de acción, momentos emotivos y con un momento final de Qifrey que me dejó impactado, además de provocar un aura de misterio que sube las expectativas del anime. El mejor episodio de este anime hasta el momento.

This episode was well built from beginning to end. The friendship also developed here, and each character developed too. It was fast-paced this time and the graphics were so nice and satisfying to watch. At the end of the episode, it felt like there was a 'dark story' that will be told in another episode!

I am truly in AWE with this anime. Just the overall vibes of it already scores perfect points. The whimsical vibe and setting, paired with stunning visual animations is truly a sight to see😭🫶🏻 their magic system is also very intriguing and how they portray it is just so mesmerizing! Especially this episode✨ UGH the battle scene was just chef’s kiss🫶🏻

Absolute peak action animation from Bug Films. The pure scale of the dragon creature and the way they used deep shadows and flashing spell effects inside the cavern looked stunning. Tetia absolutely shines in this episode, her bright, selfless energy breaking through a terrifying situation was so heartwarming. The clever way they used a basic, creative spell to solve a massive crisis is peak fantasy writing.

Animation 🙀🙀🙀

Ini episode Beneran bagus, memukau banget pas si qifrey nyerang keliatannya wow gitu

With the stunning animation along side the beautiful sound design and the voice acting this particular episode really speaks to a lot of viewers, especially when it is difficult to find such a story driven anime that has a little bit of everything for everyone. We also get to see Qifrey in action for the first time and being able to cast such a beautifully dangerous spell was immaculate.

qifrey, you are literally the butchiest butch of them all i love you. TETIA CRYING FOR HER SENSEI T---T MY BABY
18:10 - 18:59 IM SHITTING MY PANTS WDYM I CANT PROPERLY EXPLAIN HOW BEAUTIFUL THOSE SHOTS WERE?????
EPISODE CONTEXT
Arriving at the midpoint of the 13-episode season, this episode builds directly on the encounters and alliances established in 'Meetings in Kalhn,' pushing the apprentices into their most demanding trial yet. The labyrinth serves as a crucible that crystallizes who these characters are and what they can accomplish together, marking a clear escalation from the groundwork laid in earlier episodes. What unfolds here sets the emotional and thematic stakes for the back half of the season.
