Tongari Boushi no Atelier

Coco, a humble dressmaker's daughter, has always been fascinated by magic and the witches who cast it, despite the strict precautions they take to hide their methods from the public. However, when Coco takes advantage of a golden chance to spy on the skilled witch Qifrey, she realizes that her favorite picture book was a disguised magic book all along! In her excitement, she immediately starts testing out the various spells.

When a spell causes a disaster in her home, Qifrey rescues her just in time and decides to train her, realizing that she is the first lead he has found that could help him track down the Brimmed Caps—a dangerous group of heretics who experiment with forbidden body-altering magic and spread magical artifacts among the commoners. But before Coco and Qifrey can confront the Brimmed Caps, she is going to have to improve her magical skills and learn to get along with Qifrey's other apprentices.

All I have to say is, if anyone tells you this show is bad, they must be smoking crack or something—so high they can’t process it. This show is very different from past recent anime I’ve seen. The dialogue is great, the animation is great, and the back-and-forth is very strong. I think it would have done very well even if it had been released 20 years ago. The show has a lot of nostalgia (writing) from older anime, while also doing a great job of pulling you in and keeping you on your toes. It doesn’t even need action scenes to keep you interested. ... Just a very good, unique anime show.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (7/13 eps)

2 things made me unable to rate this series 9 out of 10:

The music:
It's good, very good in other words. But not great. You can't really remember the tunes or rhythms afterward. Guess they're just not unique enough.
The characters:
I hope I can change my mind, but the more I follow the series, the more I can't stand the annoying, wannabe, Boruto-like kids. Tbh, I don't hate them, I just can't like people being ignorant while acting like they're so special that they can play with Death, ignoring all the risks and the people around them.

Overall, I still think this is a very good series with ... a high quality production process. Yet there are still a few things missing to make it a truly great one.

The biggest issue here is how forced everything feels. The anime tries too hard to be "cute", but it lacks the genuine charm of series like K-On or Spy x Family. While I usually enjoy exaggerated or innocent characters, Coco feels like a fake stereotype that just results in cringe. The same applies to Qifrey; he’s designed to be the "cool, overpowered teacher" like Gojo, but he has no actual personality. He’s just a stylized cliché with no depth.

Regarding the technical aspects, the art style is actually beautiful and fitting for a fantasy setting, but the poor character writing makes it hard to stay engaged. ... The story follows a predictable path so far, and the unrealistic emotional reactions break the immersion constantly. Overall, the characters feel empty and it’s difficult to recommend this unless you only care about the visuals.
