I remember this coming up a few times, it's good, right? I like the concept.

it's ok. there's some fun ideas and cute designs and some of the characters are neat, but i got kinda bored with how character relationships are written and some of the jokes kinda suck. not in an abhorrent way but in a, there's one scene that's mildly weird about lesbians way

I like it well enough. For me the manga kind of feels like someone took Maidragon, inverted the premise, and gave it lower highs but also less gross lolicon/shotacon stuff. Hits some similar kind of Fantastical Found Family buttons. Nothing to lose my mind over but good enough that I'll give the show a look at least.

I just read the latest update and I'm not quite sure I could explain what the point of the story is, other than "a thing happens, the witch reluctantly resolves it, a new girl joins her family" rinse, repeat. It's decent, but not particularly exciting and honestly feels like it's just been treading water for a while now.

That being said, the anime would at least be covering the early parts of the story before things got stale, so it should be worth taking a look at.

I like the light novel enough as quick filler even if the lead does feel like she should be more in a 00's anime/light novel in regards to getting the hint about members of the cast loving her. I'm hoping the anime can fix that though the last time I was hoping an anime would fix a Light Novel that I had some quibbles with I got the Make My Abilities average anime :(

Adaption just added a bunch of new anime original stuff that was terrible and the visuals/animation was mostly bland.

Horimiya is pretty good. The two leads are basically a married couple, they just don't realize it yet and I'm only 2 episodes in.

It's this. Neck rotates180 degrees and the ears are smushed to make the new face as the owl's face shape helps act as a receiver for sound.

Yeah, there was just a bunch of stuff and it splitting its focus between the relationship of the secondary characters and Hori and Miyamura's relationship deepening and going to the next step.

they added an evil predatory adult lesbian to this anime about a bunch of like 14 year olds being friends. this literally isnt a character that exists in the original they just made her up and had her do evil predatory lesbian things. its the most bizarre adaptational addition ive seen since the kuma miko ending

i dont think it's so much that the main character of slime witch doesn't realize as, the story kind of tosses away the idea that it might ever seriously explore that side of the character dynamics early on when they have a gag that's literally just the sexy elf getting high on mushrooms and chasing her through a forest as she yells about how she's straight and would never want to kiss a woman

It's a fairly tasteful and subtle fade to black. It's slightly more obvious in the post credits part since both Hori and Miyamura are both bare shouldered in her room discussing the bite mark.

Not terribly surprising, IMO - I really enjoyed Ishihara's work on Nichijou and I think a similar energy would work reasonably well with Maidragon. That said, Kvin later said that the plan is apparently to try in keep in line with the work Takemoto had already done for the series before the disaster in 2019 and his overall style. Hope it comes together well, whatever my mixed feelings about the overall franchise are these days.

Yeah I'm cautiously optimistic that Maiddragon will still be good, this is a good sign that it'll at least be visually consistent with the first season.
