I hope for that or tarco being endgame, but I remember an interview she had at anime expo she said, “People only treat it as a special issue because it isn’t the default boy-girl setup.

>>287473954

Brimhat Coco when? This is so boring I can't fathom reading for years.

>>287473937
So, I started watching this anime. And I immediately thought: it's such a woman fantasy. So I look up the author, and lo and behold, it's a woman. I don't mean in it in a derogatory way, but it's such an easily recognizable collection of tropes, it's basically a genre of its own already.
>one day a prince charming visits the plain jane heroine, who is whisked away into the magical land of adventures, where she finds herself surprisingly proficient in some sort of magic or whatever else
And stories like this were being told throughout the ages in the past. Hell, that stuff even made its way into more mainstream storytelling, with the huge success of Harry Potter novels.
Not that male power fantasy is all that drastically different though. Take the Martian Series, for example, which I jokingly call the first isekai. They share quite a few tropes with the women fantasy stories, but I feel like the prince charming figure is more or less unique there.

Anyway, by the end of the third episode I was wondering, how much can this series go into the whole political intrigue and magical system autism stuff? But women are more focused on character relationships, than abstract concepts.
Before, I've heard that the series features a complex magical system, but now I'm starting to have my doubts. How true is that?

>>287476302
>Before, I've heard that the series features a complex magical system

You've basically already had all of the rules explained to you. Magic circles are not complex in concept, but what WHA excels at is that they can produce complex effects and you always understand how and why those effects are happening along the way. You're not going to get any secret hidden ultra-rare powers to complicate things, just taking the tools you already have and learning how to use them more inventively. Building up the depth of the system over time as a result without it actually being more 'complicated'.

> political intrigue
The entire story basically hinges on the Brimhats trying to prove that the Pact is bullshit, and force witches into situations where the only way out is to use forbidden magic and break the pact. Since the magic cops have a zero-tolerance policy, congrats you're a magic terrorist like the rest of us now! This is total bullshit, right? We agree. Lets go fight the system together.
This conflict is central to basically everything that happens, with the rest of Coco's magical education being giving her the context and tools to navigate this escalating situation.

>>287476384
Why did (F)Aggot say that the shoes alone wouldn't help her reach the top? As far as we know magic doesn't give a shit about energy conservation. For as long as she keeps her feet together, maintaining the magic circle, she would've been propelled into the air.

>>287476409
That's right.

>>287476433
Small arrows + drawing a bunch of them in a circle pointing to the center = high balance but not much propulsion. That's why Coco draws one giant arrow on the sail and it's so strong by comparison but only ever propels her forward. Coco later makes herself and Agott sylph shoes with longer arrows that are much faster.

>>287476433
She thinks an Outsider can't possibly pass a test meant for Magic users, she also knew Coco would have to be able to do it safely, so it's rather grim implication that she didn't care if Coco died during the test. She did try doing it the way you suggested, and she fell in the water.

>>287473954
That's not how generals work

>>287476399
I thought the pact was more about keeping the arcane knowledge from the normies. The ban on "forbidden" magic was just the excuse.
Btw, didn't they say there was like only four elemental glyphs, the one you put in the center of the magic circle? Like fire, light, wind and water or something?
How do forbidden spells work? Is petrification water? Seems unlikely. I'm looking forward to fucked up body horror transformations when magic is used on humans, but, I guess, maybe I should lower my expectations.
And yeah, I figured as much about the evil witches (seriously, who the fuck translates "mahou tsukai" as "witches"?) want to trigger forbidden spells. But what I meant by politics is: was Coco really just a random victim of unchecked spread of forbidden spell "picture books", or was she targeted specifically to be planted in Gojo's magical school for underage girls in particular? But don't answer that, since that would be a spoiler. I'm not dropping the anime yet.

Poor subtitle translation. Those are *examples* of central glyphs, not the only ones that exist. Though they might be the only ones that Coco knows at that point in the story.

> I thought the pact was more about keeping the arcane knowledge from the normies. The ban on "forbidden" magic was just the excuse.

Its understandable why you would think that at this point, since a lot of stories would go in that direction, but not this one. The age of magic really was full of horrors. Its worse than than you think it was. Consider that petrifying an entire building and everything/everyone in it is something that Coco did by accident, but in the age of magic literally anyone with a pen and common glyph knowledge could do that on purpose. The town drunk only needs a piece of paper to mind control any woman in town into sleeping with him. Your free will or control of your body can be permanently taken from you by anyone at any time and turn you into an living doll. Everyone in the world almost without exception has a gun, a rocket launcher, a nuclear bomb they can use if they see fit. Even CHILDREN, because magic is just that easy to use.
Forbidden magic is just the stuff that, when they were making the pact, they decided was too dangerous for anyone to be allowed to use. Even healing got the boot, because letting it be allowed was a foot in the door for truly terrible shit. They *gave up magical healing* because it wasn't worth the risk of the other things that sort of flesh-warping magic can do.

>>287476824
It seems the ban is two-tiered. Ordinary people aren’t allowed to know how to cast spells, and wizards aren’t allowed to use particularly dangerous spells that could cause a catastrophe just because someone drew one crooked line in a huge circle.
As far as I’m concerned, that makes sense.

Then she should stop supporting fags and trannies like you.

I finally caught up to the last episode. What is the purple haired girls problem? She literally tries to get Coco killed and nobody seems to really care.

I feel like I'm too old for this show. I have to constantly suspend my disbelief about these characters and their magic-hoarding cult-like organization. It's only 3 episodes in and its clear that they're the villains of the series. The rest of the world lives like medieval peasants and nobody knows anything about magic. The only way they could keep the status quo is to go and erase everyones memories, or disappear them to their underwater Hogwarts. They even seem to have to groom all their members from a young age so they don't question anything. It's pretty funny that the hats are shaped like dunce caps though, like it's a reference to how brainwashed they have to be to believe in the system they're a part of.

I'm not sure if any of this is going to be addressed later in the series. It feels like all the awful implications of the world are going to be swept under the rug and the author will just have Coco go, "but wow look at all the magic though!", instead. I hope I'm wrong and the show picks up in later episodes though. The animation is pretty good.

>>287476399
>>287476550
>>287476706
Yeah I think WHA is essentially using "magic" as a proxy to explore the implications and really hard tradeoffs of hyper advanced technology, which we're experiencing IRL in an ever rising wave. When you get advanced enough pretty much everything has the potential become "dual use" in military parlance, where it has both significant valuable creative uses and significant destructive ones. WHA kicked off in July 2016, almost exactly a decade ago, and it's actually pretty fucking wild to look at what's happened even just then to now. LLMs weren't even a twinkle in almost anyone's eye at that point, neither was applied use of biotech like mRNA or CRISPR, mass drones, ever advancing 3D printing, etc etc etc. What happens if we get to the point where every household really could have some sort of universal molecular assembler? Sure certain exotic elements would still be hard, plutonium doesn't naturally exist, U-235 is still going to be ultra rare and take a lot of kit to purify.

But essentially all of the rest of tech doesn't depend on large quantities of anything particularly unusual element-wise. So what to do, because of course the same tech really does have enormous positive potential as well. The extremists have a point on both sides which is part of what makes the setup so good.

I sort of lean towards WHA looking at various 3rd paths in a very serious and realistic fashion, but I could see it going many different ways.

I think a lot of it is the artist being more experienced drawing adult women than kids when she started and falling more and more into the moe-child artstyle as the series progressed.
Early Coco has a woman's face, rather than a girl's face, a lot of the time, too. Her last series before WHA was basically just an excuse to draw beautiful women in various situations, and that carried over to the first volume or so of her next one. Even if the characters were now kids.

>>287488907
Does he even know it at the beginning? The Brimhats erased his childhood memories and the memory-wiping spell is the only forbidden magic a Pointed cap could reasonably discover without too much trouble.

Eoleo reminds me of Larsa from FF12

>>287489484
It's been some time since I read the chapters but wasn't the reason time reversal use was allowed because memory wipe is actually time reversal?

>>287490536
The seals are different and the effect being comparable is just a technicality Coco brings up to convince the Three Wise to play loose with the rules. Knowing the memory erasure spell doesn't automatically mean you know time reversal. From the way it's presented, Coco copies the spell after seeing Custas drawing it and then Beldaruit uses it for his time reversal hospital bed, he himself may not have known it beforehand.

Agott deserves a scolding, but he needs to make sure the newcomer understands what she did was not normal, very unusual and infact dangerous.

especially since he's scolding her like he personally witnessed everything she just did

I wonder if fagott will have any narrative importance outside of being coco's little bitch.

people who have caught up with the manga, do you you still hate agott? and if you still do why?

>>287491861
She's been in the background for so long now, I barely remember what she did before festival namek.

>>287491741
Her mom is one of the librarians of the Tower of Tomes which is where the fourth trial takes place and where the copy of the book Coco is looking for is supposed to be. It seems obvious that Agott will be instrumental to Coco finding it once they take on the trial.

>>287491861
I never hated her, I'm not a fucking idiot to react hysterically to every minor flaw or misdeed.

>>287491890
She was consistently important during the festival and that's almost half the manga so I wouldn't say she's been in the background. Even when she didn't take the spotlight like during the second trial (both attempts) she was at least shown gradually mellowing out.

>>287491505
That doesn't say much. You see what you want to see. Romance in those kinda stories is always debateable especially because those japanse are so vague with it. And even when a ship is confirmed it will still be discussed to death by the fans. The author could be the biggest nazi in real life and people would still find a gay ship in her work.

She was set to take part in the Silver Eve parade and show off her magic item to the people of the capital. Coco suddenly said she wanted to participate too (due to her whole deal with Custas and Tartah) and Agott was hesitant at first because she knew Coco would likely overshadow her. She mulled it over, recognized her selfishness, helped Coco get over her artist block when she couldn't come up with a spell and apologized to her for all her early behavior. When Coco's turn came up at the parade and Coco couldn't impress the jury, Agott came to her rescue and modified her spell to make it a lot flashier, guaranteeing Coco's success over her own. Later once the curtain leech appeared, Agott used her decorative seals to bring it away from the city and toward the forest. They're useless seals nobody remembers nowadays except her because she likes them, and they came in handy. Once Coco arrived, she and Agott came up with the plan to encircle the leech with the floating parade platforms and write the time reversion spell on them. Only the two of them could do it because of their extra-fast sylph shoes Coco made.

But can't you say the same thing about Photoshop vs LLMs when it comes to propaganda or kids doing nudes of each other or whatever? I don't know if it's luck or something inherent to human psychology, but it does sort of feel like historically when capabilities are tied to skills we've overall done a fairly decent job of creating a world where if you're intelligent and dedicated enough to make use of tech and capital in sophisticated ways, you can make way more money and a better life and advance your pet causes further in legit ways vs terrorism or common criminality. And you end up with investment in the overall system (even if you work to warp the system in your favor), and are thus not inclined to just chaotically tear it all down.

But there seems to be potential points where a phase change happens, where something becomes so easy that any lazy rando semi-retard can do it. There is no longer any barrier to entry and in turn no longer a link between "you have to be pretty capable and dedicated" and "get 99% outcomes". Another example might be hacking vs script kiddies and actual professional "rent-a-malware" kits. Like, pre-2010 or pre-2000 had plenty of security breaches, but feels pretty different now. Dipshits "swatting" each other or launching pay-to-DDOSes over video games with their daddy's credit card or the like, or criminal groups doing ransomware even of places like hospitals with abandon.

So I do think objectively there can be some worry about the difference between everything needed for someone right now to bioengineer an organism, vs 10 years from now being able to tell an LLM

Why the anime skipped this scene from episode 02 ?

>>287494903
Yeah, that's one they'd better re-add in.

This post contains spoilers for the Silver Eve Arc and the events leading up to i. It also probably contains some controversial opinions on the manga and the author, though I'm not trying to be combative. I'm a new reader, so please bear with me.

For years, I've had great interest in reading this because the artwork was so spectacularly gorgeous. I recall some anons posting that this was "leftist garbage", so when I started reading it I assumed that it was due to the story having blackies and browns, the usual /pol/ over-reactive nonsense. Then the story became more overtly about class struggle, how witches and the goyim had this really fake caste system that reflects tradition and convention rather than it does actual natural reality. Again, it was easy for me to assume that overzealous /pol/frens would take issue with this, though it did not bother me. I was still willing to give this the benefit of the doubt seeing how this manga is a favourite of many people, some of who I very much respect.

I remember years ago someone commenting on Mahoujin Guru Guru that magic systems based on magical circles were all nonsense and extremely impractical, but even though it is something that exists in this story for the sake of the visual identity and the aesthetics of the manga, it's the kind of contrivance I'm willing to go along with since the world building and the art were so very outstanding.

I've only just completed the Silver Eve Arc and I have to say that it kind of retroactively tainted my enjoyment of the manga, I thought it was a very low in my reading experience and that whatever nitpicks I previously had with it immediately became huge glaring faults. It becomes evident that the mangaka wants the aesthetics of something traditional and enduring while contaminating everything with modern nonsense like the gay witches, not the cute little girls hihihihi kissing variety but the pound me in the ass until the chocolate fudge leaks warlocks.

For context, I've read the official translation of the series, which is also gorgeously written and flows extremely well while perfectly capturing the feeling of the story. I don't know how fan translations compare to it, but I was decently impressed by the quality of the official English publishing. I'm saying this now just to avoid confusion as to where I'm getting my ideas from, since it may very well be the case that I've missed some kind of nuance or context.

The Pact is contrived nonsense of the worst kind. The fact that the Knights Moralis use forbidden magic ("magic turned against the body") to delete memories is a hypocritical and often disproportional punishment, since magic crimes aren't all equal in severity. But forced amnesia is this one-fits-all-solution that is employed even without a trial or even before gathering all the basic facts pertaining to the crime itself. The turning point for me was the infamous "sexual assault" chapter during the Silver Eve Arc, where they were going to mind rape one witch just because he created see-through goggles to ogle at the ladies, though it was not conventionally forbidden magic. The chapter is even officially translated with a "content warning", which I thought was very disappointing, especially because the whole chapter is the mangaka simply projecting her own very superficial morality.

There is never a convincing explanation on the banning of healingcraft other than some witches did naughty things in the past. Custas' plight is a very understandable one and the manga simply admonishes the practice by giving him mutant legs and turning his dad into a zombie, as if this was the only possible outcome of healingcraft. Also, Custas suddenly being a witch doesn't inspire much hope on the mangaka's storytelling, she ignored all the rules just to speed up the drama.

Thank you for reading my VERY IMPORTANT OPINIONS.

>>287487129
What sort of ESL do you have to be to say "magic user" instead of "witch"?

>>287495227
The pact being bullshit is the point. Hell, it is also the sketchiest fucking thing in the world, with how the people that control memory are also the ones that control information about the past. And the author is definitely intelligent enough to realize that.
Coco's entire thing that arc was saying, "fuck this pact, I want to help people and can't accept just letting them die out of principle."
The Knights Moralis are arguably more present and threatening villains than the Brimhats themselves. Every time they appear it's to abuse power in some horrible way because of their trauma or neuroses - hell, some of them like the one scruffy looking guy, don't even seem to have a reason to be cops and just lobotomize people for a living because they don't have anything better to do.
The head Knight literally went berserk and almost got thousands killed.

The thing is that there shouldn't be any kind of disagreement that a "moral order" is a very understandable and acceptable concept. So it's extremely disappointing that the author thought that she should turn the institutional embodiment of this concept into her antagonists, which is extremely foid-coded and cringe.

Also, the Brimmed Hats aren't depicted with any kind of nuance. So far they're just doing random things. When they first introduced Ininia I felt relieved since I thought that now they were going to finally introduce actual moral complications to the story by her actually healing Custa and his Dagha, but that doesn't happen at all. Custa just becomes mutant kid and for whatever fucking reason is just a witch now despite only learning about magic for a couple of weeks, and his father is just a zombie stuck on rewind. The fuck was the mangaka even thinking??

I don't want to press too much on the fact that homo warlocks are a thing in this world, but whatever, it's another disappointing trait of foid writing that she needs to project these modern virtue signals as if it added anything to the story at all. But by far my greatest disappointment is her not giving any sort of dimensionality, nuance or complexity to the Knights Moralis despite them being a perfectly sensible solution to the problem of witches wielding world altering magic with extremely fearful ease.

It's all so very, very disappointing. I don't know if this gets better after the Silver Eve Arc or not, but this made me want to drop the manga entirely. I have no faith on her writing ability.

>>287496033
Because it's something that goes far beyond her institutional calling, it is motivated solely by her own feelings. And is clearly an abuse of her authority that the story does not condemn her for. In fact, if anything, it celebrates this outrageous act as a victory despite the extreme disproportionality of the punishment. It's like lopping off some kid's hands for stealing an apple, it's not that the crime doesn't exists or that it doesn't necessitate the satisfaction of justice, but the punishment isn't commensurate with the crime.

>>287495890
>the agents of the corrupt state are bad
How is that 'foid-coded'?
That is just a very common set up for any work of fiction.
There aren't many stories where the Knights Moralis wouldn't be very antagonistic.
I think me and you have different values, because I can't see the Knights Moralis being justified except if you totally remade them so they weren't judge, jury, and executioners with total fiat to attack people, except when there's a more powerful Witch around to scare them away (like Qifrey did at the riverbed).

Regarding the moral order, obviously you can't allow magic to be anarchic.
But the current system of taboo is obviously built to put principle ahead of utility. Where the leadership accepts evils and suffering to prevent an ambiguous greater evil that exists if one breaks those principles. Coco is a person that runs on empathy, so to her that is just unacceptable. She wants to save people, and will do it however she can, regardless of what precedents it establishes. It is possible that you could call that unwise, but obviously the rigid police state that the witches run is untenable all the same.

I haven't been very impressed by the Brimhats, either. How Custas was purely just a secret timebomb seems to have settled that there's not going to be much nuance to them.
They lack any real philosophical depth right now. They're just purely sadistic assholes that want anarchy for the sake of abusing others freely.
It is probably the biggest flaw with the manga that we're presented with an obviously bad social status quo, but there is no alternative given other than unclear and very specific reforms given to the rules, while everything else mostly stays the same.
It doesn't seem to be going anywhere obviously satisfying.

I've never interpreted the story as such, though my memory might be failing me. To me the manga has always been a presentation of objective morality (the Pact) and subjective morality (brimmed hats). But the author (through Coco) hasn't taken a side on either extremes. On one hand, the Pact isn't a living document or some democratic consensus. It's a strict moral code that was born from bloodshed that is just by its nature. On the other hand, the manga clearly presents it as a limiting factor, hence Coco's insistence on "why can't we just help?", just like more naive political observers in the real world might just "want to feed the poor by taxing the rich". This attitude in the manga is at times affirmed but other times rebuked. The author doesn't shy away from showing that the complete opposition to the Pact that the brimmed hats represent brings about some of the most scenic horror in the series. I need not list examples. I don't interpret Coco's defiance to authority to the Knights Moralis as an opposition to the Pact. Coco works within the moral order of the Pact. Custa doesn't and he gets to live with a time-looped zombie. To me the message has been to work within the moral order, but challenge the authority's enforcing it.
Also memory wiping and prohibition on healing magic isn't contradictory at all. Healing is an extension of no spells on the body. I think it's explained in one chapter that anti-Pact healing mages persisted for a while, but ultimately got banished. And the fact that the Pact gives itself the power to preserve itself is only self-explanatory. You need memory wiping and an elite society of magic users to preserve the promises laid out in the Pact - lest you want to banish magic altogether.

That's my two cents.

It's a mistake to separate the art from the artist. Don't support people who are seeking to tear down the foundations of the society you live in. You aren't smart enough to predict future and what you think will be better is a self-delusion from not enough information. You'll die in the chaos or otherwise end up much worse off.

>>287496200
>They lack any real philosophical depth right now. They're just purely sadistic assholes that want anarchy for the sake of abusing others freely.
While I don't disagree, it's worth pointing out there are some different motivations from how little we've been shown. Some became brimhats when they banished themselves by bodily modifications, some want to explore the depths of magic that the Pact forbids, and others do just want anarchy.
>>287496276
I'd rather explore the work itself and not be the annoying faggot that digs up 10 year old tweets.

>>287496189
it's fiction, do you think murder is ok?

>>287496200
Sorry for the twitterspeak. I said that it's "foid-coded" in the sense that there is this unfortunate trend in modern female writers to transgress and feel for the bullshit they can pull off. Hence why the literal embodiment of morality in this world is so overtly antagonistic. It's not simply the case that the institution was at some point benign and then became corrupt, it's that they need to be actively challenged simply because they exist as enforcers of morality and tradition.

The counterbalance here, of course, is supposed to be Brimmed Hats. But again, the mangaka insists on not taking sides for now so she can't actually develop any real complications or moral nuance despite the obvious glaring faults of the Pact.

>>287496033
>>287496189
It isn't meant to make her 100% sympathetic, but is also meant to show how and why a normal and kind person would join the lobotomy corps despite how horrible their duty is.
On the other side, Luluci is clearly becoming disenchanted with the organization, after seeing her boss go full psycho on as many people as he could reach.
She will likely defect to join Coco and co. in the next couple of arcs.

>>287496213
>On one hand, the Pact isn't a living document or some democratic consensus.
I would obviously reject the notion that the Pact is a strict moral code. If anything, it's more of a convention. Also, I know not of one piece of legislation that isn't a "living document" subject to reinterpretations if not outright amendments other than the Ten Commandments. And even the Ten Commandments had an Eleventh added to them.

>>287496356
Anon, are you trolling me? Or are you just being needlessly argumentative? What are we doing here, big guy?

>>287496449
The 'violent paladins that enforce brutal laws judiciously' is one of the most popular tropes in modern fiction.
Otherwise, we're calling Warhammer 40K a feminized series, lol.
Embodying a setting's morality, and that morality being objectively always good in every situation, are different things. When the Knights Moralis are hunting rogue Brimhats that are turning people into furniture or something, their level of brutality is justified. But when it is applied with a Cold War era level of paranoia on children and misdemeanor tier criminals, they're obviously heavily in need of reform and reformatting.

The Brimhats definitely fail to supply a counterpoint to the mainstream in society here. But given that the story is set up for Coco and her allies to form a 'third way' (fascism joke not intended), that is likely intentional at this point.
The solution isn't to side with revolutionaries that want to wreck everything, but to fix what is broken, I suppose. A Japanese perspective on social reform.

>>287496556

>>287496580
>Otherwise, we're calling Warhammer 40K a feminized series, lol.
You can make that case, yeah. But only because Games Workshop actively tries combat Warhammer fans who think Space Marines are cool. Regardless, that isn't the point you were trying to make and I don't with to go off on tangents, I acknowledge that you're right and that it is a common trope. My contention in this story specifically is that it doesn't provide any sort of balance with an alternative viewpoint seeing how the Brimmed Hats are also overtly antagonistic and whose morals are ill-defined, but also because this institutional corruption doesn't seem to be walking towards any kind of happy synthesis at the moment. They're just bad because they became bad or something.

>>287496690
Maybe I did, but only because the tone of that chapter is triumphant, in which point you're just blaming me for the author's inability to convey this nuance you insist escapes me. The slimy Chud peeping Tom was successfully captured, pathetically pleaded his case, resists arrest by not only repeating but also escalating his crime, and in the end is mind wiped and sent to the Chud dungeon. So yeah, I really fail to see the nuance here.

The Pact hasn't had the slightest bit of reinterpretation, yet alone change to it. With the only exception being the time-wrap operating desk of Coco. They are clearly supposed to represent a more rigid and absolute moral order. There is clearly a juxtaposition of morality here and the Pact isn't the only extreme the author is warning about. I completely agree with >>287496580 that the direction of the manga for a long time has been finding some "third way" solution between unlimited magic for the masses and the black-and-white morality of the Knights Moralis. And I think Coco will ultimately end up working with the pointed hats as the author has set up Coco's counter in the form of Custa. Your issues with the Pact are yours only and not mirrored in Witch Hat Atelier. If she wanted to make the case that objective morality is bad/irredeemable, the brimmed hats wouldn't be presented as such gigantic villains from the very onset.

>>287496704
I agree that the story lacks that a substantial dichotomy in the conflict in terms of any 'side' providing for a better system.
The Knights Moralis are bad. The Brimhats are bad. The Pact is clearly built to support safety principles at the cost of suffering. But there's also no way to find a common ground here. The Brimhats aren't ideologically driven, they just have petty personal ambitions. The Knights Moralis are lawfags on a Judge Dredd level. The Pact turned Witch society itself into one where there's a good amount of paranoia about violating any of its tenets and even talking about changing them is reserved for people that are already ostracized.

In this we have Coco and her allies as our protagonists fighting everything, but they don't really have an ideology of their own. They oppose the world because they want to help people no matter what, but they don't have a systemic philosophical view behind this. Essentially we're relying on the author to have Coco as the mouthpiece create the 'good ideology' in this world, because it currently doesn't exist.

But this good ideology is also basically looking to be the Pact but with minor modifications made to it. But then that doesn't fix what actually makes the Pact such a problem in the first place. Because it doesn't change that magic is as easily used for evil as good.
Do we expect Coco to be capable of using mind wiping magic on someone who is trying to use magic for evil? What other solution do we have? Magical prison systems?

>>287496859
>The Pact hasn't had the slightest bit of reinterpretation, yet alone change to it.
I'm not sure if we can affirm this as a matter of fact, though I am an easily distracted reader so maybe I missed something, that is perfectly possible.

Ultimately, it is a bizarre that they have enforcers without the judiciary. Like cops with no courts. I hate that I sound like "WHAT IS ARAGORN'S TAX POLICY??" but this feels to me like a very clear problem with a code that is supposed to be absolute.

I'm in complete agreement with you and the other anon saying that the manga seems to be walking towards some kind of middle path, evidently so. But where I'm at right now in the manga, it doesn't feel like the author is dealing with this with any kind of deftness.

Why would he want revenge on the knights if his memory got wiped? And right after he gets fixed he offers to give a guy a discount on his merchandise

Witch Hat Atelier was a series that was once on the cusp of greatness and then just became something bland and meandering. Could've been one of the greats but settled by just being pretty. The sheer unrealised potential makes it the kind of manga that stings the most.

Where do you guys get the newest translated chapters? Nyaa is a bit slow for uploads.

>>287497441
Saying something like this is just saying that the story didn't follow along with what you day-dreamed about when it first started.
For the story meandering, that is reasonable to say in that there's no clear definitive plot progression, but at the same time it is a story just as much about exploring the world as it is about having a destination. It isn't like the characters are stagnant or anything.
It could have gone a direction of being a more structured fantasy series, if that really is what you wanted. But to me, it isn't like it missed potential by not going that way.

I would very much agree that it shares a lot of the same problems with Sousou no Frieren. But Frieren masks it better by very purposefully indulging in SoL and sidequests and simply not being singularly committed on the overarching objective, whereas WHA does seem to have a very defined problem to solve while not providing any sort of concrete structure towards illuminating and ultimately resolving this problem.

>>287497589

That's a bit uncharitable. It is possible to identify with some objectiveness where a story might falter.

No it's fucking not, that's the point. People who dictate moral to others and enforce it when necessary is inevitably a source for all sorts of corruption and power abuse.
The author is actually subtle enough to show a lot of knights in a positive light. That some of them are genuinely nice and friendly people. But the whole point is that the concept itself is shit and even those nice people end up enforcing their own morals in a shitty way.

I wish I was a brushbuddy that crawls inside the clothing of apprentices.

For some reason the ending keeps reminding me of the Silent Witch ending.

This is so cringe. If I walked into an art classroom and someone showed me the lead smudged on their hand, I'd burst out laughing.

Would the Knights Moralis mindwipe Fern for this?

>casting magic directly on your eyes so that you can see through clothes
You better believe that's a mindwipe!
One knight would try. The rest would shit their pants after the first one gets immediately killed by Zoltraak.

She is a cringey child.
Everything Agott did here is something she'll cringe at horribly in 5 years.

What I like most is the “poisoned cookie” that the author of Onimai treated the leftists.
The story, art style makes it adoreble SOL that I personally enjoy,
But the “cookie” is trans fantasy fulfillment, but the “poison” is the hidden message how much better life is for girls.
The guy, being shy and generally below average, gets bullied until he withdraws into himself, while the girl, being an identical person, is welcomed everywhere, people strike up conversations with her, and she makes friends without even trying.

>>287505183
Sorry I’m a bit dumb, why is this a bad thing?

>>287507328
Well, it the way to make a transpositive manga, you just need to focus more in the cute stuff and you can get away with anything.

>>287507328
>but the “poison” is the hidden message how much better life is for girls.
That was never just poison for leftists. It's poison for everyone since it's just demoralising. You think you're "owning the libs" when in reality you're just consuming propaganda, whether intentional or not, about how bad being a dude is and just how much better everything would be if you wore the skirt.

>>287507328
That isn't poison.
That is what transgender people actually fantasize about.
That if they become the opposite sex, then their chronic depression and self-image issues will go away.
Onimai doesn't secretly provide a poison apple to leftists, it provides a fantasy to anyone with transgender tendencies to live vicariously through.

>>287507427
>just how much better everything would be if you wore the skirt.
Well, in the recent chapter that is applied to a boy crossdressing, showing that you don't even need to be a boy to enjoy being a girl, so his argument is totally invalidated.

>>287507368
Modern trend to call the UN the face of Globohomo (a mix of global homogenization and global homosexuality).

>>287507368
It's guilt by association nonsense. Well, typically this would be nonsense. But in these times we're living in, these sorts of connections should be treated with warranted suspicion, which is an unfortunate reality of our current homo world.

onimai is just pure fetishism, there isn't any message at all, even the whole gay thing is treated as a joke

>>287507314
She's probably the one 100% provably anti-israeli mangaka that a lot of people know about.

>>287505183
It's funny how in the article that Shirahama-sensei said she's nothing new in the manga industry, yet it's framed like she's a champion of representation.

>>287507546
Thats how these types of things always go.
Some journalists select an artist they like to turn into a hero, and then the entire interview the artist just talks about how they're nothing special and that their works aren't really that complicated.

>>287507427
>if you wore the skirt
In this case, it’s not about putting on a dress, but about a complete, profound transformation of the body at the molecular level.
There’s a gulf between these two things that’s too deep to even try to ignore.
After all, if Mahiro had “just put on a dress,” he would have only made things worse.
Despite its sci-fi elements, the anime also has a realistic aspect, showing exactly how differently boys and girls are treated.
The "poison" (specifically against feminists) is nasty here, also troons are right in that case: its better to be a girl.
But such a technology is a hard sci-fi and the lesser of two evils it to be average male that average male dressed as women.

>>287507669
yeah trannies genuinely believe they can become a girl with hormones and surgery though and are surrounded by an echo chamber that convinces them they're totally hot. so that's still the message they're going to get from shows like that.

>>287507532
I know, I enjoyed it as a cute SOL comedy
But I noticed but I remembered how anons complained that it was “leftist propaganda,” while I personally feel that if it is propaganda, it's actually the other way around, just well-disguised.

>>287507669
You would think there is a difference, but there really isn't. Have you ever met someone who had terminal cancer and ran around trying to find all the miracle workers and all the miracle treatments? It's the same thing with the mentally diseased, in this case the gender dysphoric. The actual reality of HRT and surgery doesn't really matter, what they cling to is a magical remedy. Onimai will always be demoralising propaganda.

With still the same logic of needing to take HRT, take it every month or you return to your normal body.
If the change was genuinely permanent it would easily change that logic but the whole shit of returning to your normal body if you don't take super anime HRT, it basically this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkjxw4BqVwc but anime

Clearly not, because of her, UNICEF officials are now going to be the ones diddling Coco and Riliphin.

>>287507368
The UN has been trying to censor, correct or ban problematic aspects of anime/manga/otaku culture for a while now while pushing the usual shit. Back then female mangaka told them to fuck off but they keep trying.
Having the UN endorse her can't possibly be a good thing.

>>287507823
Okay, but you're talking about people with severe mental disorders who want to cut off their dicks. Yeah, it could be harmful for them, but luckily there aren't many people like that.
On the other hand, there are "oppressed feminists" everywhere.
I wonder if some of them noticed that.

>>287507956
This, there were a few good female mangaka for example Namori
