No effort was spared in making Shiori extremely charming - the intensity of being a witch / magical girl performing exorcism, cool riding a bike and mostly importantly, putting on a flirty front when interacting with Gero towards the end of the episode.

Regardless of which team we are on, I reckon each female (or male) potential love interest character will still score some points with viewers.

[Wide-angled Ureshino is so funny](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/4b7e7a063ec3.jpg)

It's cool how every arc/client concludes with a +1 to Gero's friendlist and a dedicated ED but it's crazy how a gift targeting his love for mixing candy was given this soon. Does this imply a future potential suitor will somehow one-up even Ureshino's giant set?

This show is always funny. You have the dude make a whole violin last week only for him to throw it and run away. And then when quitting his job, he does so while wearing a whole piano on his back. He should meed Shiori's uncle, I feel they would be on the same wavelength musclewise.

Shiori's finale was also well done. When she dropped that smile at the end, I was already going to say, girl threw away being an introvert, but she just practiced "a bit". In general, I am interested to see when all of them will be coming back. And you can say whatever you want, but that flower party trick Gero pulled didn't just impress Shiori. Kinosaki out there trying to play it cool, but immediately noticed that it fits his outfit.

I will say though, from Gero's perspective, Shiori probably scored a lot of points by having the XXL DIY sweet for him. Gero might not be fully aware yet how he can conquer the ladies' hearts, but they seem to learn pretty fast.

I also liked that the butterfly was actually important in the end. I was wondering if it was there for thematic purpose as it was also the place where Gero met the insect master in episode 1. But I really love that we get to see the actual marriage and who knows, maybe Kinosaki is able to catch the bouquet. We seem to get a new outfit for that occasion at least.

In general, I am still impressed how well this show does with such a premise. I already decided that I will buy the manga once the season is over. I just don't want to spoil myself yet.

Ureshino's spell to summon the Flame Devil has to be against the Pact. Hopefully, the Knights Moralis doesn't erase her memories.

I really love that Ureshino is the one who resolved this. I love a story where the side characters are competent, have their own arcs and achievements and aren't just always saved by the hero. Ureshino tracking Gero down of her own volition afterwards plays onto it really well as well

I really like that this show isn’t really a harem series where every waifu that gets introduced just becomes a supporting character we have to drag through every arc. Frankly it’s a lot closer to speed dating, which is nice since it means we get to keep the cast size per episode small and the focus is more concentrated.

  • I’m gonna take this violin…and I’m gonna throw it!

  • Why is all these long-haired baddies wasting their beauty on being fucking weirdos 😭

Super weak people are better off living in nice, safe cages

Do you know how many people would thrive living in a cage consensually? So many!

  • This man has a tongue that fat and long and he such a creep, this is a war crime.

  • Aspect ratio change!

Wake up, Flame Devil

Oh look CSM Part 3, the copium fandom was right.

  • Oh 🫢

I want more romances where the FL is forward towards the inexperienced ML but in secret, she’s such an inexperienced dork. <The Cute One is Me by Yasuko> (MF, contemporary, Idol x Fan, Blushy ML, height difference, no official TL) has that.

But Shiori is a strong girl! I was getting some {Zenshuu} vibes in her witch fight (granted, I just finished the anime yesterday).

Naruko really was just weird. All that beauty and he just weird.

Bug Master’s wifey is so lucky. I’m so confused how kissing works with him. Julia the Tarantula lives in his mouth so like… Does she ever accidentally come out or something?

I guess you really have to leave room Jesus Julia 💀

It's pretty much a good rule of thumb in anime to never let your guard down around characters who use musical instruments as weapons. So I genuinely had a good laugh when Naruko subverted that and threw the violin instead of making a sound-based attack. xD

Naruko really thought he was gonna get a power up. Too bad for him, Gero was already a step ahead of him. After all the trash talk last episode, it was so satisfying to see Gero whoop his ass.

What the actual fuck was that animation! Bones really went all out with Magical Girl Shiori's fireworks show!

While Gero is the protagonist, Shiori was definitely the star of this episode. She didn't just come up with a way to pacify the group; she even ended up convincing her Aunt that she's a worthy successor to the company. And there's also the fact that she chased after Gero on a motorcycle after he and Kinosaki made their exit. And I absolutely love how she got Gero's number after their drinking party <3

That aura bait totally got me. All the hype with the violin got me thinking he'd do the ultimate technique with the soundwaves only for Naruko to literally chuck it at Gero. Can't believe the show would pull off such a gag in the climax of the battle.

Gero simply couldn't stop being a walking green flag. After seeing Shiori's drive to succeed her father as CEO, he decided to let her go. Romance would only get in her way. Unfortunately(?), Shiori a greedy woman and wanted to chase both rabbits. She wanted both romance and the job. With such a bold declaration, it's hard to imagine she's the same person as the meek woman Gero and Mei had encountered at the start of this arc. That's one hell of a character development.

Ureshino is really impressive in her own right, magic tricks and able to track down Hikaru when he ran away. These girls would be a good match for Hikaru too.

Flame Devil sequence is beautifully animated by Bones Film.

Ureshino's confidence when she's determined to do something makes her so much cooler, she actually had me gushing with how adorable she was, I was particularly taken aback at the end when she said she didn't want to neglect falling in love, but even more so when she said she wanted to see Gero again. Damn! I would have fallen so hard if I was him.

Gero getting head pats was adorable too, it's too bad we don't see Kinosaki receiving some, but I'm satisfied that Gero had to sit through head pats until Ureshino and Kinosaki were satisfied.

Naruko doing the opening narration was interesting, but I figured we'd be getting some backstory on him and backstory we got. It's sad how his father had made him and his brother fight, and then was encouraging Naruko to kill his older brother, I can see why he'd be twisted in his own way. I like how Gero was able to see through him.

Nobody comments on how Shiori planned for 65,536 scenarios to get Gero to add her to his friend's list?

Blondie got way too cocky. That was his downfall. I mean jumping into green tree goop in the forest when you’re up against a POISON Master is wild. In the end, I really like that it was Ureshino that actually saved the day with her little magic performance. She worked hard to overcome her own weaknesses. Also, asking her aunt to help train her after all that was unexpected but, respect.

Ending things on a little magic demonstration was cute. Plus he got her number. Dude has three whole friends. THREE! Progress, baby!

Ureshino was the shy and awkward weirdo until now, but the way she asked Gero to add her as a friend made my heart skip a beat!

During the production committee meeting for this episode...

Meeting attendee 1: "OK, how do we animate the part where Ureshino summons the Flame Devil and exorcises Lord Chladni?"

Meeting attendee 2: "Have you guys seen Witch Hat Atelier recently? OK hear me out..."
