I woke up on Thursday and thought, why not start that witchy anime everyone's talking about?So yeah 💖 two episodes into this beautiful new anime and I'm already in awe!This world immediately pulls you in so gently but completely! The art, the colors, the softness of it all. It really felt like stepping into a living sketchbook. And I have a huge soft spot for journaling, sketching, and getting lost in a page.. So this one hit me immediately. Like it reached into a quiet, forgotten part of me and said 'hey, remember this??'The magic system is incredible!The idea that magic isn't something you are, but something you learn. An art. A skill. A craft. It's so beautiful and it makes everything feel so intentional. Like every line matters. Every detail means something more.Underneath all of that there's this sense that maybe... magic was never meant to be hidden this way. Because something feels off, doesn't it? The secrecy. The rules. The way knowledge is controlled. That mysterious book. The history we're only getting little pieces of so far. It feels like there's a much deeper truth.And I love that feeling!It reminds me so much of the steady calmness inside of Frieren, but to remember this world isn't all beautiful flowers. There are unknown dangers here. The magic is quiet, gentle, and exciting. But there's something much bigger brewing inside.Also, I already ordered a new sketchbook after two episodes of this LOLThis intro was so beautiful & inspiring I just had toWhat are your thoughts so far? Are you feeling the same cozy/curious vibe?See you all next week for more ✨Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿SYNC ALONG LINK: https://youtu.be/qomj2vC-ydAI watched this on Crunchyroll in original Japanese with subtitles

Had a feeling this was coming lol

Robert da Spruce

I saw this on Crunchyroll the other day. Looks intriguing! I was planning to watch it on my own. But it’s great you’re watching it too! 😄 Should be fun!

Tuff

What a crazy surprise to wake up to lol. But glad you're watching anyways. I read the manga to this series years ago and loved it. I've been looking forward to the anime ever since and it didn't disappoint.

Terry In the UK

WOW !!!!!!! Now this is the biggest surprise....I certainly wasn't expecting this Kali and it has truly made my evening. I've got absolutely no idea what to expect other than from what I've just read on your wonderful write up, but I am sooooooo excited. To begin a whole new adventure, to get to know some brand new characters, to get drawn into another world of this incredible medium is such a joy and I cannot wait to experience a new magical journey.. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's definitely a happy Saturday now. Enjoy your weekend Kali, hope it is magnificent.

JoyBoy69

Oh was hoping to see you react to That time I got reincarnated as a slime. Its so good! Is there a way to suggest or put it in the polls for like when Demon Slayer is done? This is a really amazing anime regardless! Keep up it great work!!

rubberkidney

Man, you're going hard. Like I said, we've got to get you on some classics here, but good choice. Don't sleep on Dandadan—it's a recent classic hit, and you'll love it. Tanjiro's voice actor is one of the leads in it. Yeah, I'm enjoying this. I've actually been watching it with English dubbing, which I usually don't do, but sometimes I watch anime before I go to bed and I don't want to read while I'm laying there getting ready to sleep. It's easier to just listen to it, and it's been okay. I'm kind of curious and interested to see what the Japanese voices are like. I'm sure it's better, honestly.

rubberkidney

Beat me again, you son of a bitch.

Terry In the UK

😂😂😂😂, sorry my friend.. I'm just too quick . Best of luck next time 🤣

Junior Santos

Woww, I didn’t see that coming… here we gooo!!! All the anime you’ve watched so far, I’d already seen before—but now I’m going in totally blind with you!!! Let’s go!

Holy Arathi

Yeah…. First thing I thought was how beautiful the animation and art design was for this show.

Greg

Agreed on the classics fmab, cowboy bebop, samurai Champloo, black lagoon, etc. So many lol

Fred Aczon

Ooooo what a wonderful surprise!! My family has been enjoying watching this weekly.

rian

you’re becoming more and more of a weeb…YES! 😺 haha “love is war” should be the next one 😭 ..and heck yeah on the sketch book showing 😁

Holy Arathi

So this anime is now part of what they call the big 3 of fantasy, idk if Americans or the Japanese made the list but it’s Frieren, Delicious in Dungeon and now Witch Hat Atelier is part of it.

Chuckles1004

Never seen this before. Definitely looking forward to checking it out. Thank you! I emjpy that you make me see or try new things. ❤️

rubberkidney

I agree. Really, the well is infinite, so I always try to pick something of a manageable length that I really want to see her react to. I am absolutely on the Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Shinichiro Watanabe train, for sure. In fact, all of his shows are awesome. But yes, I would love it if Dandadan was in her immediate future. She seems to be expanding and consuming everything, so hopefully we will get some of these picks here. You know, I want to see her watch Berserk. Not only is that an awesome story, but we all know kaliwali would definitely have an overwhelming reaction to that anime series (the original 1997 anime series is what I am talking about).

Cary Sasaki

I love that you're cookin with the anime. So sad some people cant get on board with this medium to enjoy the endless possibilities with storytelling.

Holy Arathi

Qifrey’s VA also does Tanjiro.

Shane

Gonna have to recommend Hands Off Eizouken if you like drawing, as I recall it's only 12 episodes too, so short and sweet. Also this is my first time watching an anime along with you that I haven't seen, the animators went *crazy* on this, so many little touches, like the small lock of hair just falls down his face at dinner, the FABRIC! I've been meaning to watch this and it feels like the perfect way to do it, thank you.

Armando Rojas Ruiz

WOW I did not expect this, I am very happy reactions to this anime, by the way I am that guy who once commented to you that he spoke Spanish, I love your content on your Patreon!

MGH

Witch Hat is older than Frieren, btw... It just took longer to turn it into an anime.

M1 Maz

I feel like you had to have lived a past life in a world like this with just how much these stories speak to you haha. I'm loving the vibe of this so far! Definitely has that magical vibe of Frieren that's both cozy, but also so full of possibilities. Love these impromptu journeys and really looking forward to continuing this next week!

Mono Riel

What a surprise!! Beautiful!! 😍

Vry36

If Qifrey sounds familiar it's because he is the same VA as a certain demon slayer in another show you are currently watching.

Killua X

Not just the classics but the big ones, the best, the ones that are shaping the anime world today. I was gonna recommend My Hero Academia for her next. And ofc JJK, Attack on Titan, HxH

rubberkidney

Yeah, there are a few series that I'm not really huge into, like My Hero Academia and Attack on Titan. My Hero Academia just kind of loses me after a while; I just stopped caring. With Attack on Titan, it took them too long between the first and second seasons, so I just didn't care anymore and didn't bother giving them the time of day. Hunter x Hunter, though, is an amazing, genius-level show that she should start watching immediately. In my top five for her to watch, I would say they would be: 1. Berserk(97 show) 2. Hunter x Hunter 3. Dandadan 4. Cowboy Bebop 5. Samurai Champloo If I just had to throw it together real quick, Kali, (hint, hint). Follow-ups and movies would be: 1. Akira 2. Ghost in the Shell 3. Parasite 4. Evangelion 5. JJK(Jujutsu Kaisen) Just some older stuff in general. My secret sleeper side pick would be like Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi (I love that show) or Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill. Great shows, though Gurren Lagann/Kill la Kill might be a little heavy. I don't know. Definitely bombastic and has beautiful animation, though, for sure. highly imaginative, if not a little culturally risqué, shows.

rubberkidney

Oh my god, and Avatar: The Last Airbender and all the series—and hopefully the new movie that just came out(leaked), because it was amazing. I can't believe I never remember to put that on anything that I recommend for her since technically it's not an anime. Kali, you have to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender. You will love it.

Armando Rojas Ruiz

Another thing, EVE is the one who did the opening of this anime, I love his music, I hope you come across more anime in which he participates : D

Teyo

I highly recommend checking out a copy of the manga just to admire the illustration alone. Truly inspiring stuff.

DorkRunner

I literally just bought the first manga in this series for my Kindle!!! It was on sale for like, one dollar (literally over 90% off), so I had to pick it up, haha. The coincidence is crazy. I'm both a little sad that you didn't pick one of my other recommendations for your next anime, but also a little excited for me to have an opportunity to also experience another series for the first time with you just like with Spy x Family, which I am absolutely loving. It's not that I hadn't heard of it before, there's simply way too many anime that I want to watch, so there are of course a ton of them that I haven't had time yet to watch. xD I really look forward to posts of your sketches!!!! (And to a post of your ketchup-blasphemed rice omelette... ;) :P )

Matt Fox

YEEEEES! Im so glad you are on such an anime kick recently!

Tom

Knew I recognized Tanjiro's voice actor lol

Irrelevance - Bjorn Vanbelleghem

Another new anime that I probably wouldn't click on myself. But, hey, it's Kali, so I'm game. Spy X Family I wouldn't have either, but I'm also eagerly awaiting more of that as well. You're introducing me to so many new things now. Really enjoy being here for all of it.

Marcel S

If we are talking about beautiful anime you should definitely Violet Evergarden. one of the if not the most beautiful Anime i have seen. And yes, it's probably annoying that I recommend Violet Evergarden almost every time I comment (i'm sorry for that), but you really miss out if you don't watch it.

Jay Steiner

Unexpected anime that my friend has been talking about.

Bryan Chin-Foon

Yes! Amazing that you've added Witch Hat Atelier...I really enjoy your reactions. You need to consider adding Solo Leveling once you're ready to add another action oriented anime like Demon Slayer!!! Please, please consider adding this one next!

Joe

I am almost as new to anime as you are. I watched a few anime shows right before you started that i really liked (frieren, attack on titan, and solo leveling.) But your journey has allowed me to further expand my anime knowledge. I am loving Spy Family and now this! There is something about sketching that can transport you to another place and to make it literal magic is such an interesting way to express magic. The visuals and story telling is beautiful and Coco is just great so far. Wonderful choice!

Luii

If there's an anime I'd recommend watching in dub, it would be this one. The Eng dub is so good especially with the use of accents. I love it so much as a devoted sub watcher.

Luii

Apparently, this anime was delayed months just to make sure the quality was not subpar. There was so much detail put into the first episode that it was cut down just to make sure it met the appropriate runtime. They even made clothing and props for the voice actors to wear and use, even planning out their facial/bone structures so they had a reference to use for the anime.

Dan C

Seeing you upload this today made me face palm and laugh. Like take it easy girl. But seriously I just started this show earlier in the week so it was fun to watch them again with you. I have been waiting for this anime to come out for almost 2 years since I first heard about it. As for the people who are suggesting Dandadan, I don't know if Kali is ready for that yet. 😂😂🤣

PaoloGP

thanks for starting this <3

Morah-SDG

Wow great pick for something brand new, this looks so good already!

Kal

Kali got isekaied into our world 😆

Kal

I'm sure she'll love Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, so many of the things she loves in the other anime she's watched are in it. And of course all the others you cited are in my best of the best list, but FMAB gets a special place cause I watched the original FMA which jumped the shark at the end (which to be fair, was always going to happen since it caught up to the manga and went full Game of Thrones) and I was shocked by how much better across the board brotherhood turned out to be.

kaliwali

omg I loooove the effort and love they clearly put into this! I'm not surprised to hear about all the crazy extra behind the scenes bc it shows so much through the first two episodes alone! ty for sharing :)

Xthentic

PEAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

kaliwali

you said it so well! sketching definitely teleports you to another world for a bit ✨

kaliwali

ooo ty for the recommend for a similar demon slayer/action anime!

kaliwali

lol it's not annoying! makes me excited to watch it soon!

kaliwali

I love that! happy you're enjoying the ride, too!

kaliwali

I'm in line for the first volume at the library! It's super popular rn obviously so there is a wait for it. I'm number 9 in line so I'll prob get it in a month 🤣

kaliwali

ahh I loved the opening! I hope I can hear more of his work soon too!

kaliwali

omg the faaaabric, yes! it's incredibly well done 👀

kaliwali

i'm obviously obsessed now 😅

kaliwali

I'll be doing an anime poll soon yes!

JoyBoy69

Woohoo!! Idk if it matters but my suggestion is the one i mentioned before. That time I got reincarnated as a slime. Such a great series!

DorkRunner

I completely understand using drawings as a form of journaling, and what you mean by some pictures being perhaps a bit "intense" or personal. There is one thing in particular that I have drawn that I wouldn't have ever shown anyone close to me. It was me trying to put down on a page the very visceral, vivid, and brutally cruel experience of the kind of panic attacks and severe anxiety I was having at the time. I could share it with people like you or other strangers, but the thought of someone close to me that cares deeply about me seeing it was terrifying. If I were an active content creator I probably wouldn't feel free or safe to share it with my community, either, but as some random dude on the fringes of another community it wouldn't be too hard. It's definitely a very heavy and image that would raise immediate concerns from most people (very heavy suicidal ideation), but as I drew/wrote it I was doing it from a more dissociated perspective of capturing my thoughts, and how I constantly felt other people looked at me and by extension how I saw myself, and putting them on the page as an observer of them rather than actively experiencing them. Maybe you should start a chat channel for people sharing their doodles, drawings, writings, etc.?

kaliwali

I love this idea! Thank you for sharing your experience with journaling. I totally get what you mean and have whole journals that I'd never share with anyone for those reasons as well. I love that this show opened that door back up for me so I'd be down to open a channel where people could share whatever they're working on. I'll brainstorm this weekend on it if I don't get too busy! :)

Robert da Spruce

Atelier is French for workshop. Most commonly associated with the fashion industry Famous designers have a shop they work and design out of called an Atelier Really loving the story so far! I’m also really loving the animation! So beautiful! And if we’re taking votes, I’d love to see some of your artwork if you’re up to sharing

IsaacDoesStuff

Seems like a cool show. Too bad the premise of the world doesn't really make sense. People are really curious. There's no way they could get away with just hiding the casting of spells for even a short amount of time. Besides, the drawn spells are apparently all over the place, and it would be obvious that magic only takes place where the drawings are. Then if a person discovers that it doesn't work if they use regular ink, it'd only be a matter of time until someone got a hold of the special ink. The secret could maybe last for like... 10 years, realistically. Also how'd the other girls hear of someone casting forbidden magic if only two people witnessed it and they immediately left for the school without delay?

"Too bad the premise of the world doesn't really make sense. People are really curious. There's no way they could get away with just hiding the casting of spells for even a short amount of time." I'm pretty sure that's where the memory wiping comes into play. If someone who isn't part of the club learns the secret I think they'd get hunted down and have their memories wiped. "Besides, the drawn spells are apparently all over the place, and it would be obvious that magic only takes place where the drawings are." Well you need a special kind of ink according to what these two episodes revealed. So if the magic ink is gatekept than that pretty much insures that even if someone were to draw a magic spell it wouldn't work otherwise. And again memory wiping adds to it being gatekept. "Also how'd the other girls hear of someone casting forbidden magic if only two people witnessed it and they immediately left for the school without delay?" Remember the scene where Qifrey talks into a device and thanks whoever is on the other side for allowing him to keep Coco as a student? I think he had to report his findings to someone and so that's how the rumor spread.

Usagi

Since I sew I was a little taken aback by how amazed the man was with Coco cutting a piece of fabric lol! Then you made that connection with being able to draw a straight line is real magic and i got chills!!!
