What a gorgeous adaptation. They animated beautifully the power fantasy of being able to draw a perfect circle.

I think I love this adaptation just as much as I hate the other one.

Also, when was the last time an anime did skip OP and ED to squeeze 3 more minutes out for the episode? From the shows that I watch it must have been Re:Zero.

Right now they are just doing it iteratively (5 times, right?), but surely someone would have thought of doing it recursively; could have been a nuke.

(Though one may need one or more utility spell like the Repetition Spell to make it work. A Duplication Spell, maybe?)

That was cool having the students working together!

And Coco gets her "learning by observing and repeating" progress bar moment.

I actually didn't like Agathe having to be rescued.

That whole situation seemed too contrived.

But a little before that, I'm still not sure how the paving stones worked.

They have a spell drawn over them together, they're thrown in a heap, Qifrey lifts one, then???

It was nice to see them all working together after what happened last episode. And in the end we got to see Qifrey in action to save the day.

Coco didn't tell about the encounter with the Brimmed Cap. I wonder if that has any relevance. Maybe she is considering what they said?
