“Sorry to keep you waiting, Philomela” 😭 man that OST combined with the visuals were stunning. Best Mahoyome episode by far. The last 3 have just continued to top the last.
We finally get Philomela’s grandmother backstory and like you’d expect, her childhood was fucked up too. It seems like there’s a vicious cycle of expectation and emotional abuse placed on people from distinguished magus families.
It just keeps going on and on and on, no wonder Adam wanted to break it by running away. He wanted so desperately for Philomela to not have to deal with that life. His mother couldn’t show him any love because she never got any. She was only a tool meant to carry on the family name and reproduce.
The scene where he holds out his hand to hold his mother’s and she just looks at him like he’s crazy really hurt. In spite of all of that, Adam still made efforts to reach out and connect with his mother but she just couldn’t accept it since she never had that. Really sad story.I’m sure the time Adam spent with his wife and daughter must’ve been heaven on earth for him.
Using your own granddaughter as a sacrifice like that.. jeez this family is so messed up. They all needed help badly, Philomela is the first to actually cry out for it and what a beautiful end to the episode. Now that this is wrapped up, excited for what’s next.

Chise must be feeling strongly conflicted in this scene. Alice, her close friend, is reliving the painful memories of Joseph terrorising and torturing her family... while the guy is sleeping in their yard, because Chise chose to have mercy on him and let him lead a somewhat normal life. Chise deeply cares about Alice, but at the same time she can't bring herself to hate someone who's been driven insane by an agonizing curse. At least I don't think she hates him.
I wonder if Alice will ever learn that Chise's taking care of Joseph and if she will forgive her for that.

The Ancient Magus’ Bride S2 adapts my favorite arc in the manga and while it doesn’t fully managed to capture the charms and eerily tone of the manga, I’m enjoying the anime! The first part of story is slow paced with a lot of focus on the characters and their relationships.
It’s nice to see Chise going to the College and making friends especially since she had a really bad experience with school in the past. I love that both Chise and Elias are slowly learning more about themselves from interacting with others.
Looking forward to cour 2 in Oct! The best stuff of this arc is coming and I can’t wait to see how it’ll animated. Hoping for the best! I also have the urge to reread the manga now.
8/10

Since I'm running uber late (how are we already on week 4?!), I decided to skip my usual anime pick livestream so I can catch up 😅
Here's what I'm watching for the Spring 2023 anime season. I'm kinda proud of myself for "only" having 18 picks this time compared to last season's 24 😂🤣
I'm excited to watch:
The Ancient Magus' Bride S2 - I've been waiting for this for a looooooong time!
Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion - I was about to read the webtoon for this when I heard it was getting an anime!
Oshi no Ko - ANN kept posting about this on their social media and I can never resist cute twins in the first place 😆
My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 - Same story as Oshi no Ko, also, my rom-com picks from last season are all done and it left me wanting more 😍
My surprise picks:
Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage - Only a surprise cause I didn't hear about this.
Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts - I actually remember this being announced and totally forgot about it! I read the manga a long time ago, so this is one of those rare ones where I know exactly what I'm getting into
Tengoku Daimakyo - This is my attempt to get some culture in me since all I've been watching lately are trash 😂🤣
I'm expecting to drop:
The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure - It's isekai trash so it'll totally depend on how cringe this harem is gonna be 😅
KamiKatsu - exact same reason as above 😆
Purple = I'm definitely watching
Yellow = I'm giving it 3 ep. to win me over

Finally watched season 2 episode 12 of The Ancient Magis Bride and now to wait until October for new eps 😫
I guess, this is around the time seasons wrap up for animes.
I could start reading the manga, but I'd rather buy the volumes then read them online. Urghh never enough time, space and money. Ahhhh. I want to know what happens next tho. So many things I wish to buy, but like I said never enough money, etc. Ajakakkakaka

Why are so many shows always airing new episodes on the same day? Ofm, Jujutsu Kaisen, Dr.Stone and the ancient magus bride new episodes ALL come on thursday. May I mention that I come home at like 17 O'clock from work? So there's always the terrible decison making about the order in which I should watch them.
Not to forget. Apparently a Pluto anime comes out tomorrow? Which I didn't know of till now? Which I'll obviously have to watch tomorrow. So yeah, through the whole day I'll be just thinking about Ofmd and the Pluto anime.

“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..
