とんがり帽子のアトリエ

I love how Olruggio decides not to close the door all the way despite complaining minutes before that it emboldened Coco to come in even with the ominous sign. Considering Tetia, Nolnoa, and Alaira all knew about Coco, though -- it's not like Qifrey kept her a secret, so why is Olruggio so out of the loop? and since witch society is clearly full of gossips, shouldn't the knights moralis know about her anyway? I think there's something sweet about Olruggio being the one to build Coco's love of magic, and now he's part of her realizing that dream (even if she's on thin ice with him).

Lol so Olruggio's a tsundere it seems, it was sweet how he left his door open so that Coco can come in without knocking. Olruggio being the one that gave Coco her dream was a surprise, I thought that'd be revealed down the line and it wouldn't be someone we meet this early on. Olruggio's gained an apprentice himself.  I like how Qifrey mastered water magic because he didn't like getting wet, but after learning that, it stood out to me when he was getting wet to keep Olruggio from taking Coco away. That spell would be a lot more convenient than umbrellas.

* **Master Olruggio** Richeh staring at that thick slab of meat was pretty adorable. This girl is really my spirit animal. And I love the scene with Brushbuddy stuffing his face right next to Coco. They really need to make plushies of this damn thing. I'd definitely buy one! Olruggio scared me for a second there. I genuinely thought Coco either got lost and went to the wrong house or someone invaded the atelier. So he's basically the person who's supposed to keep an eye on things because they're not supervised by Witches from the Great Hall. Oh, damn. The Knight Moralis actually look pretty damn cool. I thought the Brimmed Hats were the only ones with immaculate drip. Too bad they're gonna erase Coco's memories and love of magic if someone turns her in to their group. So the magic in Coco's shoes was actually on the bricks themselves, and they were actually invented by Olruggio? That's why Coco's mom was like, "Sure, you can be a Witch if you can keep on walking with those lights on." She knew that as soon as they were out of the city and were walking on dirt, the magic would stop working. How can you even get angry at that face? I love how Olruggio went from scary watchman dude to tsundere-sensei real quick. I love how he even keeps his door open instead of fully closing it. It means he's not opposed to Coco visiting him again.

And he we go. The Main cast is finally complete and BEST BOY ~~REAL GOJO~~ i mean OLRUGGIO IS FINALLY HERE!!! A nice calm quiet episode but it appears a storm is starting to brew up.... Important note for anyone who enjoyed the first half of the episode. This manga does have a spinoff as well called Witch Hat Atalier Kitchen that's basically just a mini daily life cooking manga. Its adorable and worth reading as well.

I really love the consistency when it comes to magic in this show. First the way the glowing stone magic worked by being a pressure plate. But then even more so that it uses the exact same core that Agott is currently working on. Obviously makes sense since it's both light magic, but it really helps in building the foundation for the system. Also, from a story perspective, I could see this being a way for Coco to connect with Agott. Because this is the magic that made her love magic in the first place, she might be more into it and can even help Agott get better at it. Or it goes the exact opposite way and Agott hates Coco for being good at this type of magic. But I hope it is the first one. On a different note, I wonder how the whole pen situation is going to be solved. Coco didn't get one after all. They could make her stone more "sharp" so that she can draw smaller objects, but I feel they might be going somewhere else with that. Because I remember I had a math teacher in school that could draw really well circles on the black board and we were always impressed. But he then explained that it's easier to draw a good circle if you can just use your whole arm for it. But when you want to draw a smaller circle on paper, you have to learn to draw it with your wrist. So I wonder if the author might actually apply this in some way to Coco having to learn to draw smaller circles or if she finds a way to get around it.

- That’s a pretty bird. - Oh, you never did? - Interesting use of magic. - There we go. - Hah, that’s a fair reason to master water magic. - Richeh continues to be great lol. - Aha, the guy with the beard is finally here! Was wondering when he’d show up since I knew he was voiced by Yuuichi Nakamura. - Coco hiding under Qifrey’s cape is cute. - Dang… - Hah. - Oh, that’s neat. …so of course Coco starts lying down on them hahahaha. - Coco “sore demo”! - Very pretty shot. - Does the test include being able to draw magic circles without looking?

Man everytime I hear Qifrey guiding the kids like that with Hanae's voice, I'm just reminded of how much Tanjiro would've been the same caring big brother to his siblings Olruggio seems great so far, had valid reasons but got quick change of hearts. wonder if it's speciality is heat/fire opposed to Qifrey's water Glad to see someone got the pointy hats drips right looking at the Knights. Also love how brushbuddy is the whole household pet not just Coco's

We didn't have a dragon this week, but we did meet Olruggio, so close enough. I'd been looking forward to seeing Yuichi Nakamura's Olruggio, who did not disappoint, but I wasn't expecting a northern accent for Olly in the English dub at all. I pleasantly surprised how well it worked for Olly as a character, and it aligns well with Olly also being from the north in WHA. Dub!Olly: you wot mate? (Reagan Murdock can use the same accent for Aki in the next season of Chainsaw Man, it'll keep things unpredictable.) If you're not watching the English dub, it is very much worth checking out. After all the Qifrey/Gojo jokes, it's also hilarious to actually now have Gojo in the Japanese cast. As with Episode 2, Episode 6 wasn't as high stakes as the episodes before it, but it was still a really dense and important character focused breather episode. Finally Olruggio is introduced, more context to the Knights Moralis is given, it seems like Coco and Agott both are in parallel with their studying struggles after lessons learned in the labyrinth, and Coco is inspired by Qifrey's lessons in the present while finding out it was Olruggio's spell that made Coco drawn to magic in the past. Seeing Aggott repeatedly practice drawing a circle with her eyes closed for muscle memory was impressive, and anyone trying to do work can relate to Coco hyping herself up to draw before immediately flopping in misery. It was such a beautiful episode, too, between Agott practicing her glyphs, the lunch, the picnic under the bridge, the rainbow, and Coco finding the glowstones. I'm continually impressed with how magical works in the WHA world on a practical day to day level, from the stew pot, heating the yams, Qifrey's anti-rain bubble, the glowstone path, and Olly's warming ring. As with the slyph shoes, it's clever that Olly's rings only activate with the sigil is complete between the two halves. Ditto to the glowstone path. I should say, I am very glad Qifrey wasn't intending to give Coco food poisoning, and that Olly's ring would be very popular with any witch with long hair. Dyson Airwrap who? I am in both Dungeon Meshi and Frieren withdrawal, so I thoroughly enjoyed that this episode not only explored the love and importance of cooking food together, but how even a more mundane day can lead to wonderful things, and learning important life lessons can happen in the most gentle of ways. Episode 6 in general felt very emotionally satiating in that regard, though not physically, as I really, really want to eat that sandwich. As with Episode 5, Qifrey can turn from mild manner teacher into a far more intimidating figure on a dime. Meanwhile, Olly was very intimidating with his introduction, yet ended the episode air drying a soggy brushbug and apprentice with a ring. Can't judge a book by its cover. The show seems to be continuing its going set-up and pay-off pattern with its episodes, with Episode 6 being a mix of character, world building, and set-up, so I'm both curious and worried for what will happened in the next with the storm for the pay-off.

I haven't said this before because every episode's always had so much going on to talk about, but I've been feeling some vibes around Agott since episode 3. It's pretty obvious that she's going to come around on Coco and accept her at some point, but I've got a strong feeling that she's going to crush **HARD** on her after that. I'm talking full on Amity from Owl House here (minus the abusive mother). I don't know if the series will actually end up going full yuri between them, but that's the vibe I've been constantly getting from their interactions and I *needed* to get that out there somewhere. Anyway, Olruggio! The watcher over this atelier who's a lot more concerned about following the rules than Qifrey is, and is also the one who created the spell that made Coco love magic! What a coincidence. Speaking of people coming around on Coco, he really folded like paper once he saw her love for magic that Qifrey was telling him about. Also, no matter what genre of it is, anime ALWAYS finds a way to fit a cooking episode in. Japanese artists are just addicted to drawing food porn, I suppose.

When I first saw the heavy rain, I thought to myself how great it would be if Qifrey had a sort of weather control spell and guess what he did less than a minute later? Olruggio's a dour man but he's got quite the heart. He could snitch Coco off to the Knights Moralis as he had first intended, but ultimately relented after having a talk with Qifrey and getting to learn Coco better. >*I don't want you catching a cold. I'm watching you after all.* Coco's got not one, but two tsunderes around her. Looks like she's already used to that treatment from how she brushed his remarks off. Yuuichi Nakamura has finally made his debut in this series as Olruggio. Imagine all the memes had he instead been cast as Qifrey.

I was already hungry before the episode started and they had to show all this great-looking food... Integrating magic into Coco's daily life for her to naturally become better at it was really good advice from Qifrey. Seeing how much she loves magic that shouldn't be much of a chore... ... wait, was it his plan all along? To skirt out of cooking duties by having Coco gladly pick up the task instead? Qifrey! :p New character in the episode, too. Olruggio seems like a nice enough guy when he's not being taken by surprise by his friend unexpectedly breaking the law. Also, I think I heard Katsuyuki Konishi at the end?

This was a great episode after last week's hype vs the dragon we got a lot of character development and world building and also setting things up for the future. The first part with Qifrey feeling like a mentor to Coco was great actually teachintg her and giving her the attention she needs and a lot of mentor characters in anime fail at this. But then we got introduced to Olruggio who seems like a very interesting character and it feels like Coco already won him over with her love of magic and him being the creator of the magical bricks. What made me think was his position as a watchful eye I am still not sure if what we were told about why magic is hidden is the truth or someone just wanted to control it so this position of an observer is interesting in both situations keeping an eye so smaller ateliers dont use forbbiden magic or if you look at it the other way if the powers that be wanted to keep more control over magic. Also I am really curious about Agott and all the build up she has gotten where they go with her character and then we also have this carriadge incident is it an actual incident or a trap ? I have a video review if anyone is interested. Thank You.

Coco and Agott are not the most natural study buddies. Agott just needs ABSOLUTE silence so she can focus on her skybeam (?) spell. Coco is really trying her best to be a true witch who can cast spell, not one that just comes up with ideas to support her fellow apprentices, but it's difficult when she still doesn't have a wand pen that really fits her. She might have the heroic resolve of an anime protagonist to never give up and persist, but she's also a kid who gets sleepy! Thankfully Qifrey is there to lend her his arm and also help her apply what she HAS learned in such a way to further reinforce and strengthen her magic...in cooking! Not only does magic help preserve food super conveniently, but it's also a great tool to cook and Coco can take her pyreball and master it to the point of properly heating up a carapace yam! Nice work there Qifrey. Why not make this a picnic? Sure, Agott won't do it and the rain is a mood killer, but Qifrey didn't become a master of water to avoid being wet for nothing! And there's nothing more beautiful than natural magic like a rainbow popping out after rainfall! Coco tries to do something nice for Agott, whether Agott wants her or not, and runs into yet another surly dark-haired individual at the Atelier, Olruggio (Yuichi Nakamura!) who immediately after finding out Coco is an outsider made apprentice tries to turn her in to the Knights Moralis because she's too much trouble. But once again Qifrey proves you do NOT want to mess with him (or his investigation into the Brimmed Caps) even if you're a close friend. Olgruggio is a "watcher's eye," an individual who watches over and keeps tabs on ateliers to make sure the witches aren't doing anything shady...so Qifrey is probably lucky that Olruggio is his best friend (and not heartless) so he's willing to let the Coco thing slide. For now. Provided they don't cause a big mess he'll have to report. I love how frizzy Tetia's hair gets because of the rain. Coco just can't catch a break. She just wanted to help her and Brushbuddy avoid a Japanese cold and she has to walk in and see the most intimidating guy she's ever met after a not so stellar first meeting. And he's NOT into visitors! But Olruggio despite his gruffer demeanor genuinely does feel it's his duty to watch over and takes care of the kids, and even dries Coco/Brushbuddy off, and as luck would have it HE invented the light step magic that Coco adores! And when he sees her winning Coco smile and her pure love of magic, even Olruggio can't help but think how much of a waste it would be if it was taken away from her. Katsuyuki Konishi, what are you doing in this anime!? And bringing warning of a collapsed bridge, his son in trouble, and an opportunity for Agott to get outside experience that she's been chomping at the bit for. Hope it turns out okay.

Kinda weird for a "Watchful Eye" to be away from the place he's supposed to be watching for so long. How long has Coco been there? At least a couple of weeks surely. Between Qifrey's rain shield, the water dragon and wallbreaker from last week, and the crystalizing spell from the first ep, I think the anime is doing a good job showing how powerful magic can be. All magic needs is the special ink and the sigils so anyone with the ink can just make hundreds of copies of whatever water magic they want to induce drought in countries or drown whole cities. Four 12-year-old girls atomized several whole buildings last week. That's pretty terrifying. How was anything left after the war Qifrey mentioned? No wonder magic is so restricted now. Edit: Accidentally deleted this part dammit: But this episode also shows how beautiful and gentle magic can be. The vibe was so cozy and warm. The music, animation, and the character acting were all so lovely together. I was just smiling and sighing enviously throughout the cooking and picnic scene. Magic in WHA feels very tactile and that makes potential for both extremes really compelling.

I'd like to believe Agott's warming up to Coco and is getting used to her being around, but she's likely just so focused on her own personal baggage/growth that she really couldn't care less and is trying really hard to tune out every nuisances--Coco included. And for a moment I really thought she may be feeling a bit guilty for how she belittled and verbally battered Coco two episodes ago that she may be considering on apologizing, but of course it was merely the stupid noises that were bothering her lol

A nice and (mostly) relaxing breather episode. It is pretty intuitive of Qifrey to suggest that Coco integrate her magic with normal chores. After all, lots of advancements throughout history came from simple needs and wants. I thought for sure Qifrey was just gonna control the weather again for their picnic, but the anti-rain bubble is cute too. Guess it makes sense for distant ateliers like Qifrey's to have some sort of watchdog if the witch higher ups wants to keep a tight leash on everything. And it's nice that since he's gotten to know Coco better, Qifrey has seemingly become more invested in making sure her memories aren't wiped, even outside of the important information she knows about. But it's interesting that Olruggio says it's not their job to investigate. I guess Qifrey's acting independently? Though he was talking to someone about Coco, so maybe he's more of a secret agent for someone (or a group of someones) that not even the witch police can know about. And wow, Olruggio is basically the guy who inspired Coco's love for magic. He switched up on Coco real fast too lmao. But no one can blame him for quickly warming up to just the sweetest cinnamon roll.

Qifrey is a really good teacher, making learning part of a simple task is not easy, but he helped Coco put another fundamental brick in her foundation. That bright sky in the rain spell also was a great display, as witches, they just can do stuff like this. Finally the introduction of Olruggio, as much as he complained about the situation, he is the one not doing his job by staying locked in his room for over a week, and he’s way softer than he looks by having such a reaction to a compliment. And so we have the first normal crisis of the atelier, let’s see how witches handle and river flood and endangered people.

* Who is making the animation smooth as fuck? What deal with what god do you make in order to do this * Respect. Water magic/waterbending feels like the best thing to learn. *** *sees back arch and pretty lashes on an attractive man* *brain overload* *** * Are those aardvarks?! Oh my goodness, look at their bottlebrush tails. They’re feather dusters 🥹 I want to boop their snoots. * Qifrey has become insanely attractive being a mother. * 🏳️‍🌈🌈 * Bitch who is you?! * Awwwww she hid in his robes. I love this 🥹 * Is this man Scottish or Irish? * Divorced parents shouldn’t fit in front of their children. * Fuck TERF Joanne, but I feel like mudblood is a better “muggle” slur than outsider. * Ah. So this is how Michael Jackson in that Billie Jean MV had a glowing path. Magic. * Gruff man softens at wholesome child, please more of that *** Really respect full-fledged witches. The stimulation/concentration effort into making sigils, I really appreciate that. And I’m curious if Agott will become too overstimulated, which leads to her drawing an incorrect sigil if she goes with Qifrey. I think that a lot of fantasies show how utilizing a mystic ability can be difficult under stress, but that stress being normal nature sounds or of people being people, I’d like to see that more. I think that’s a great hurtle that doesn’t have an instant linear progression to it. I’d be interested to know if Agott is ND-coded and/or if people who have read further ahead find her as that as well 🌻 I’m glad Qifrey is taking more interest in Coco’s schooling, but it just feels too soon for me to be happy about it. He more so did stay at home mothering today and helped his kid with her homework. I just need more to see him being an active educator. I feel like a terrible person I can’t differentiate if Olruggio is Irish or Scottish in his voice. I lean toward Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm betting next ep Agott is gonna have trouble helping with all the noise in the storm and probably people yelling. You'd think she learned this lesson when a great big dragon was chasing her, but hopefully now she'll WANT Coco to annoy her so she can learn to focus. Looks like we got a big ol'tsudere watching us now. It really bothers me that they put the melted cheese on TOP of the bun. THE WHOLE POINT OF THE BUN IS NOT TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY!!!!

Coco truly is the queen of oversharing her emotional state which seems to mostly make people want to support her. Not a bad trait for a protagonist for sure. I like Olruggio, he probably is a pretty nice person as well, just a tad more strict (not even that much, honestly) I wonder if everyone will go on the trip? Or just Agott and Coco...I mean, it would be kinda interesting for Coco to not join, so that's also a possibility.

This episode belonged to The Brushbuddy and Coco. The first part of the episode with Qifrey and Coco cooking together with that beautiful ost and to cap it all of with that wholesome picnic🥹🥹. This was just peak slice of Life and my heart is so full Man. Brushbuddy, can you stop being cute FFS? Coco being the passionate magic loving gremlin that she is even converted Olruggio on her side. Look if I came across Coco I would just awaken my big brother/ parental instict and just protect her with my life, she's that precious

Qifrey already got permission to take her as an apprentice. I guess we don't know exactly what he told the higher ups to get them to agree to it, but the other girls already heard rumors about forbidden magic, so it must be well known and Coco isn't in any danger walking around town in front of other witches. Olruggio threatened to take her in because his job is to report suspicious activity, and if he showed up saying "this situation is weird and suspicious", the Knights Moralis would listen and wipe her memories.

So the morality police will not just wipe her memory but alter her personality as well? and this is on top of giving up a big lead into their biggest problem. I'm wondering how witch society doesn't have more problems, they remove witnesses instead of getting information from them, and you'd think people would notice if suddenly people ended up with memory gaps and personality changes, especially when this exclusively happens after someone has an encounter with a witch. Could you imagine if people started getting amnesia and sometimes even personality changes and it only but not always happens when someone encounters certain profession? people would be asking question pretty quick or is there no war in Ba Sing Se?

Qifrey's training session was amazing. It was a simple task with a single instruction, but it helped her a whole lot in understanding how to balance her magic circles. I like the Watcher. He understands how delicate the situation is, and loves magic himself too. I'm glad that he is willing to give it a chance. He even left his door open for her. Then we have Agott, who other than her first appearance, has done nothing to win me over. The end of this episode really annoyed me with her attitude. A life is at risk, and she's only thinking of herself. She's making it really hard to like her.

That was a nice lower stakes episode after the intensity of the last two. It's getting to be kinda crazy how engaging they can make SoL + exposition episodes. It was adorable to see them prepping and cooking together. Olruggio was no match for the brushbuddy and Coco's cuteness and her love of magic. He folded so easily and became her tsundere dad. I have a feeling that Aggott is just going to get in the way of Olruggio and Qiffrey saving that carriage. Maybe Qiffrey reprimands her for that and she finally faces consequences for actions instead of just getting away everything and comes down off her high horse.

> Complicated sigils to make up for small circle, maybe? While they were at the magic stationer in episode 4 Nolnoa mentioned that he could make ink at different concentrations, so maybe that affects how powerful or long-lasting a spell is, and Qiffrey has access to the more potent stuff? Also at the end of episode 5, Qiffrey asks Nolnoa to find out what was mixed with the ink of the circle that teleported the girls, so maybe it's possible to mix other things with the ink to make more powerful magic as well?
