kura_yena1211★★★★☆VerifiedEP 12They really put my girl Grace on the spot like that, kinda getting tired of that same song though ngl. (Glad this is the last time). Pretty good finale, nothing too flashy and again, pretty predictable.
As the united world fights for its freedom against the alien forces known as the Neuroi, human girls with magical abilities—called witches—continue to battle. With the persisting conflict affecting morale, Grace Maitland Steward, a retired witch who still serves in the army, presents a plan advocating the power of music as an invaluable support that can change the tides of war. Unfortunately, her proposal is written off, prompting Grace to find a way to prove the potential of her idea to her superiors. She enlists the help of Aila Paivikki Linnamaa and Eleonore Giovanna Gassion—two witches who have already seen some success as singers—to recruit other witches and form the League of Nations Air Force's Music Squadron. The campaign manages to produce seven promising candidates. Among them, 14-year-old Virginia Robertson, despite having no military experience whatsoever, seems to possess an ability too significant to ignore. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

kura_yena1211★★★★☆VerifiedEP 11Not much to say here, except that this episode was focused wholly on Ginny, cute but honestly very predictable. Can't wait to get this over with!
kura_yena1211★★★★☆VerifiedEP 10You can really see a new side to Eleonore with this episode. She usually seems to be pretty nonchalant and happy-go-lucky, but along with her lore, it was cool to see a different side of her - skittish, unsure and extremely caring (along with her adorable singing!). With the events that went down in this episode, it is pretty evident that this anime is going to draw its conclusion pretty soon.
kura_yena1211★★★★☆VerifiedEP 9The girls are definitely making it big with the performance in New York. The initial treatment was a sign to us of how far they've come. The pacing is decent, with it initially being slow and then nicely building up towards the end. Also, a nice peek into Jo's life; her mannerisms made sense with her family intro. (The dance animation does still throw me off)
kura_yena1211★★★★☆VerifiedEP 8Milisha sure likes being competitive, that battle with Eleonore sure was intense while also being a bit funny. This was another wholesome episode overall, love the admiration Milisha has for Aira and her confidence. Is Moffy gonna be able to ever find her companions though? She does look pretty snug with the familiars belonging to the other girls.
kura_yena1211★★★★☆VerifiedEP 7We've arrived in Orussia for another performance! It was pretty smart of them to cater to the people who were busy with work through an alternate method. Makes me believe Grace sure is fit to be their leader. The parent-daughter segment was also pretty cute. Good pacing and a lot of wholesome moments (ALSO SOME SURPRISE ACTION whatt?!?). Moffy def needs to take it easy on the snacks lol.
kura_yena1211★★★★☆VerifiedEP 6Man, Maria sure is quick to cry, but given the amount of stress she had to go through planning out a whole acrobatics routine without the ability to experience it herself made it a little understandable. Even though there was no performance this episode and no dance routine, it was still an amazing practice run for Mana and Maria, the background visuals with the colours of the sky and the setting sun were especially beautiful. Hearing Aira vent out her frustration while trying to conjure up the shield was pretty damn funny lol.
kura_yena1211★★★★☆VerifiedEP 5We got an episode focused on Sylvie specifically, it didn't feel too out of place because the plot of this episode sort of built around it. The background art for some of the scenes was great. It does bother me when the characters are humming a sound, but their mouths don't move according to the sound (T - T)
kura_yena1211★★★★☆VerifiedEP 4Wow, they were able to choreograph and perform quite an impressive performance in a short amount of time. The animation switch during the second half of the performance kinda threw me off a bit, but I suppose I'll have to get used to it. A pretty fun episode; it was nice to see the girls come together and give it their best!
kura_yena1211★★★★☆VerifiedEP 3It's a bit overly dramatic; the girls do like to cry at the slightest inconvenience, especially when something can be solved quite easily. But it was quite a wholesome episode, and the pacing is decent. The interactions between the familiars are always adorable, and we have gotta have that mandatory song obviously.
naruto_kun★★★★★VerifiedEP 12A perfect grand finale. The final take on the animation is incredibly fluid. Everything wraps up in such a satisfying way that it leaves nothing uncertain. The pacing felt like a steady climb to an epic and joyful peak. I felt so happy and fulfilled watching this episode. It is definitely a show I will remember very much.
naruto_kun★★★★★VerifiedEP 11Oh man, this one had me on the edge of my seat. Really interested in the overall setting. The art direction uses slightly muted colours to convey the sadder tone, and it works beautifully. The pacing is a bit faster than in previous episodes. I felt really anxious, but in a good narrative way because it means the story is working.
naruto_kun★★★★★VerifiedEP 10As we get closer to the finale, you can feel the emotional escalation. The animation team did a fantastic job capturing the subtle reactions and body language. It is a very engaging episode. I feel much engaged now as I cannot wait for the conclusion.
naruto_kun★★★★☆VerifiedEP 9This episode perfectly uses the pace to slow down. The emotional beats hit surprisingly hard here. The soundtrack in this episode is top-tier and perfectly matches the sentimental tone. It was a very touching experience for me. I love when shows take their time to build up like this.
naruto_kun★★★★☆VerifiedEP 8The focus shifts to specific characters here and adds a tiny bit of drama to the mix. Nothing too heavy, though, so it keeps the lighthearted charm. The lighting in the evening scenes is absolutely gorgeous and adds so much to the overall mood. The pacing was good too. I didn't enjoy it that much.
naruto_kun★★★★☆VerifiedEP 7It feels like a breather episode. The scenes were animated brilliantly here. I really appreciate how the show takes a step back to let the characters from the previous episode. It was a very sweet and relaxing watch. This chill vibe is exactly what I needed today.
naruto_kun★★★★☆VerifiedEP 6I liked this one especially as it lives up to my reputation. The way they blended the dance animation with the music was super enjoyable to watch. It felt realistic as they use good transitions to shape the episodes. The pacing was fast and exciting, which kept my eyes glued to the screen the entire time.
naruto_kun★★★★★VerifiedEP 5The visual appeal in this episode is off the charts. The vibrant colour palette used here is great. The story flows nicely without any boring moments, dropping the mood. I was honestly hyped watching the plot unfold before me in such a way.
naruto_kun★★★★☆VerifiedEP 4It is more of an explorative kind of episode. The pacing feels incredibly comfortable from start to finish. It is a new kind of experience for me. I enjoyed seeing the behind-the-scenes efforts throughout this episode. The animation stays consistently bright and lively throughout.
kura_yena1211★★★★☆VerifiedEP 2Slightly better than the last episode because the pacing didn't feel as rushed, and the song made more sense this episode too. Seeing the girls' familiars get along was pretty wholesome, as was all the girls eating together. The character designs when they transform are pretty... interesting.
