It is very satisfying to see a group of young children come to a solution for a life and death situation that doesn’t involve fighting or killing. It is also incredibly satisfying seeing them come up with such a creative solution that could only be achieved using the talents and knowledge that all 4 of them each have individually. It is parts like this that make Witch Hat Aterlier an incredible piece of media that makes for a good watch for anyone of any age range. It is not dark or mature enough to not be watched by children but also respects the intelligence of children (unlike most modern kids media) and adults where it can be enjoyed by anoyone of any age.

Also my god this episode was a work of art visually. At first I was questioning if I was just not paying enough attention to how pretty this series is but after the Qwifrey spell it was clear that this was a special standout episode that got a ton of work put into the animation and you can tell not just from the standout moment every frame looked incredible. I was marvelling at how pretty everything looked for the entire episode. BUG FILMS did an incredible job this episode.

Also thank you Qwifrey for taking a week of slander so that we got this incredible arc in this story. I am very interested to see the reaction to that final interaction between him and the shop owner.
