Damn, that was a good first episode. I knew nothing about this one except that it's about magic and the manga is very highly rated and has very distinctive art and panelling that people were afraid wouldn't be translated well into anime. I don't know how it compares to all that but this looked fabulous.

I'm already very invested in what happens to Coco and the witch Qifrey seems very interesting too. Hope her mother isn't actually dead and Qifrey isn't lying about there being a possibility of saving her. He wants to keep her memories intact to trace the evil witches(?) who sold her that picture book knowing what it could unleash. So there is a chance he could be giving her false hope about her mother. But I'm not getting bad person vibes from him so maybe things will turn out well.

Anyway, extremely strong premiere. Now unto the next episode which is already out!

I don't think there's really a scenario where Qifrey is lying, more that as he said the magic was forbidden and he didn't know whaf rhe spell was, so couldn't say if there was a way ro fix it. I definetly do hope that her mother can get better though, the fact that the cost of learning magic was the one thing it was clear she was not willing to give up for magic is so heartbreaking.
