Witch Hat Atelier anime is out!!!! 🎉

It's sooo beautiful, I'm so happy. Two episodes dropped at once so we got to see a little bit of the other girls in episode 2, I can't wait to watch more... Obviously it will never be quite AS good as Shirahama's masterful work but the animation was so nice, I think they did a really good job with everything. Coco is so cute! And Qifrey my love...

I hate watching ongoing anime ughhh 20 minutes once a week is not enough!!

Also the anime for Marriage Toxin aired this week too which I totally forgot was happening, but I watched the premiere and I think it was pretty good. We'll see how the next few episodes go, the manga genuinely makes me laugh out loud at times so I hope they get the humor right. Basically the premise is that the heir to a clan of Poison Masters needs to get married and have babies so his gay sister isn't forced to (gay ally Geto canon) but he sucks at interacting with women so he enlists the help of a con artist who commits marriage fraud. It's very silly and very fun.

It's funny they don't advertise this series with the twist put in the premise because it's literally revealed in chapter 1/halfway through the first episode, but I guess it's like a double-edged sword. To me it would've been the draw of the series, but the dudebros find out and are like ew this is gay. My guy I wish it was gay!!

(I'm not 100% convinced Kinosaki and Gero aren't going to be endgame though... I'm only through about 10 volumes of the manga but like...there's no other way this can end, right?? You can't have them shoujo sparkle staring at each other every chapter to drop the ball that hard.)

Anyway! Assuming both WHA and MT hold up to their manga counterparts, I recommend giving them a go! WHA if you like fantasy worlds with strong worldbuilding and cute characters and themes of like, power and responsibility in society and how regular people/minorities get screwed over. MT if you like romance action comedy shounen lol. This is like a hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby situation lmaooo I promise they're both good at very different things!!
