【海外の反応】杖と剣のウィストリア2期9話、エルフィの“重すぎる幼なじみ愛”が判明！『OPへの繋ぎが神』演出＆作画激変に海外絶賛

Damn the cut to the OP is so smooth because of the matching lyrics,*chef kiss

Haven't seen a smooth cut to an OP like that since Season 2 of The Dangers in My Heart

Like others have said, that OP was a sexy transition. Bravo to everybody on the production team suggested and animated that idea.

the direction on this episode was amazing

Wow, Elfie has been smitten with Will since childhood. She's so clingy lol.

She knows what happens with childhood friends and she’s determined not to lose

She legitimately saw every other girl at their orphanage as a possible homewrecker lol.

Will: "Elfie, back when we were kids, did you...try to kiss me when I was asleep?" Elfaria: "Oh don't worry Will, I'm going to do more than that now that we're back together!"

Too bad for other girls they don't know Elfie has already won Will. Now that we know why Will could cast different ice spells despite only getting an ice sword from Elfie during the new year eve fight. He already had a stomachfull of Elfie stuff inside him.

Suddenly summoning a sword out of magic like this would have been an unforgettable memory for most, but somehow Will had forgotten all about it, I wonder why. Interesting how getting his body physically opened was the catalyst to letting his magic flow out.

Diverting from the typical shounen of training, Wil has unlocked his hidden potential through the memories when he was a child, facing monster reflecting magic. The tsundere Julius is with him all the time, how sweet it is. Now, we're going back to the BLOOM!

Julius staying by Will's side for all those six days. He's really the best friend you could ask for even if if he won't admit it.

Don't let the fact that this looks cool distract you from the fact that will had to take off his coat, and then put on the rest of clothes again. Seriously Julius why the fuck did you throw him the last piece of the outfit first?

Did they outsourced the first couple of episodes of this season? There's such a massive contrast in quality from the first half of this season to this half. Gigantic upgrade.

The colors in this show are amazing in general. It's all so vibrant compared to most anime. Anime characters having crazy hair colors is normal but it looks so good in this show. The backgrounds and magic too.

The art direction of the past was beautiful, especially when the color returned after Will and Elfie fought side by side

Clairie is Cerridwens student after all, and she's close friends with Edward and Workner, so I can understand that they know of Cerridwen and probably are pretty close with her as well. And Edward is supposedly very talented. Iirc they said that he has gotten the closest to being a Magia Vander of all the non Magia Vanders. But he got disillusioned with the politics of the Tower. It's probably Kreutzs fault. Kreutzs is a dick

Another great episode. Oh and Boobs.
