Remember, 2 of these have elf girls as main cast. Not coincidence.

The best thing about Witch Hat Atelier is the art style. The fantasy genre in anime is dominated by the same generic JRPG town designs and architecture, whereas WHA has an actual unique art style giving it its own identity.

Found Witch Hat Atelier due to my obsession with Alphonse Mucha and Art Nouveau. Can not overstate how beautiful this Manga is and I can't wait for it to get the recognition it deserves.

I love that we have now entered an era where the world building has become one of the main thrusts of a series and not just set dressing.

Fantasy anime is becoming a top 5 genre with the new heat that's coming out. Frieren and Dungeon Meshi had PEAK 1st seasons.

As someone whose know about and been reading Witch Hat Atelier for a couple years now I‘m so incredibly glad it‘s getting an anime adaptation! I love it wholeheartedly and am glad it‘s getting some more recognition! :) Great video as always 👍👍👍👍

One thing I love about Shirahama’s art style is that she has a history with tapestry and it clearly is shown throughout her paneling and artistry. It makes for a very unique style

[gtafan]

the art is so striking. it's not reminiscent of old manga. it's reminiscent of old art in books. like old fairy tales. Particularly the way the environments details are drawn and the sigils themselves. it's like seeing an old friend again that i didn't realise had moved away

[snowyymidnight]

the panels in this manga are probably the best I've ever seen they are so creative. like there was one in one of the flashbacks that used pillars to divide the panels. and it was BEAUTIFUL

I dunno, man. The Lord of the Rings would have been a lot better if Frodo was the reincarnation of a Japanese NEET who landed in the Shire after being hit by a truck.

I'm so glad that, in anime, epic fantasy stories actually FEEL like epic fantasy stories. The World is colorful, rich and vibrant, the music are majestic, there's a plethora of intriguing characters, and don't get me started on the lore and worldbuilding.
Nowadays, in Western Media, there's this overgrowing habit that, if you make something fantasy, it has to be dark and edgy. And, sure, it makes sense in worlds like Game of Thrones and Dark Souls, but, every once and a while, it's good to have fantasy stories that actually make you think "I would love to visit this place"

EDIT: okay, I came back to this comment, and now I wonder why the hell did I use a JAPANESE game like Dark Souls as an example. I now wonder how confusing my comment is

Man what a great magic system. The analogy to coding is spot on. The different examples you gave of the different spells reminded me of the different ways I mix and match old code from different projects to make new ones.

this is like if FMA went far deeper into how the seals worked

14:46 "My British pride won’t stand to have English words cohabitate with French ones in a title!"

[vespaesian]

So basically this magic system is cousins to the magic system Brandon Sanderson used in his 2005 book - Elantris
I’ve always loved that system. Granted, the Elbatrian’s symbols require far more precision.

[OmnicroneRED]

Took anime only over half a decade to catch up. All the manga in the thumbnail are over 5 years old at this point and are all highly influential. There are other manga inspired by their style, like Soara, Dragon Hero Courier and many others.

"Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from science."

Looks like an interesting series!

[redstonerandom]

you forgot an importent fact which is how much style like half the witches have

7:44 don't hate on timmy, he just drew a perfect illustration of a rocket for an electrical engineering job interview

15:44 sad Garnt appears for a brief moment
