「Looks Breed Love」

I have witnesses and can prove I was chopping onions.

「East, West, Home is best」

The thing about Mahoutsukai is that it’s limited only by the imagination.

「Better to Ask the Way Than Go Astray」

There’s a lot of confidence on display here – in the story and the staff’s ability to tell it, and in the audience to buy in.

「Lovers ever run before the clock.」

We remember, deep down, the music of wind and water and earth, before there were words.

「We Live and Learn」

So let me get this straight – Lindel is Hisoka, his familiar is Gon and his master is Sailor Moon?

「None So Deaf as Those Who Will Not Hear 」

Elias may be old and in many ways wise, but clearly he doesn’t understand Chise’s heart yet.

「Let Sleeping Dogs Lie」

If the greatest sin you can ascribe to a show is consistency, you know it’s in pretty good shape.

「Talk of the Devil, and He is Sure to Appear」

Sometimes a lack of surprises can be a good thing.

「The Faerie Queene」

Earlier I called Kekkai Sensen’s Episode 6 the most visually striking anime ep of the season, but Mahoutsukai certainly re-stated its case in very strong terms.

「Love Conquers All」

There are a lot of important things happening here in the background (as there often are in this series) but what’s happening front and center is so profoundly unpleasant that it’s hard to get past it.
