#mahou tsukai no yume season 2 part 2
Text
“No one can help anyone’s past, but you’re allowed to speak up now” man this was arguably the best episode of the series for me. The seiyuus and staff brought their A-game for this one.
First off I gotta apologise to the Wolf assassin lady. I really wrote she and her partner off as irredeemable in part 1. I remember saying Chise should’ve left them to the dogs, but if she was under some sort of mind control that changes things. Zoe was able to free her, but it seems like he has some sort of malevolent presence in him as well.. interesting.
Onto the best part of the episode, the kids all being vulnerable and de-aged to kids. Really got a sense of all the horrible things Philomela has been through. Makes last week’s episode even sadder because her parents did everything possible to avoid her having to live like this. The grandmother didn’t care about her own son and certainly doesn’t care about Philomela. The emotional and psychological trauma that girl must have is insane.
I wonder what the grandmother’s ultimate goal with the book is though, it’s definitely not to bring Philomela’s parents back. Gotta be something sinister.
The reveal that Philomela was there the night Lucy’s family was murdered was brutal as well. Can’t imagine how blindsided Lucy must’ve felt. Her seiyuu did an amazing job of conveying that simultaneous feeling of anger, disbelief and pain that someone you called friend was behind it all.
Really really good episode and I can’t wait for next week. They’ve been cooking here lately. Wonder what Elias was up to with Alcyone as well..
