I'm gonna try to contain all of today's "The Ancient Magus' Bridge" thoughts in this thread, so feel free to mute if it's much. (I /think/ Mastodon lets us do that? Whoops.)

Perhaps I should remember to unlist first, lmao

Anyway,

Me: Given their transactional beginning and the weird sort of condescension Elias has for Chise (the puppy remarks, not letting her bathe herself??), this cannot be a good situation in which to form, grow, and sustain a relationship

Also me: Chise's been kicked around all of her life and is finally being shown kindness for once and Elias has a BIG SKULL HEAD

Elias' fucking hand is twice the size of Chise's face. I love it.

JUNNA, the artist for the first opening theme, is 17?? What the heck.

"She's a neighbor who lives here" That's...by definition /not/ a neighbor...

I LOVE ANGELICA

THANK YOU FOR BEING CRITICAL

There it is, welling tears on episode 3.
