It's a great series! The drawing is very nice and high-quality, the scripts of the series are not particularly boring and not particularly stupid. It reminded me of Hilda or Gravity Falls in some way. I really want to see the sequel.
I am glad that a friendship is being established between Luz and Amity, and that Amity cares about Luz in her own way, and did not scoff when she found out that she was lying about the second spell. I hope there will be an Azura Book Club after all!
@krutovalex: Well, after the first visit, she became persona non grata there, because of the mess. And then he couldn't remember himself, he had to reconsider, only in episode 9 she was allowed to enroll from the next semester.
Oh, they finally showed Amity again, because I was already starting to miss her. This is probably the third time I'm going to write that I like watching Luz interact with her. It was very touching when Amity put Luz in a magic barrier so that the latter wouldn't get hurt. And the twins in this series were no longer such goats, although they joked at Amity, but they still trained with her, and they cheered her up when Amity performed a spell without a wand, of course, their lives depended on it, but still they like this attitude between relatives more. Luz, in her spirit, instead of asking Amity directly for help, decided that it was better to steal her wand, uh-huh, that's what friends should do. Too often, Luz takes or does something without permission. My God, she's the first person with magic, she's already special, there were no such people before her, but no, you have to pretend to be cool and not tell your friend that you haven't learned the second spell yet. Ida nevertheless, albeit in a strange way, taught Luz the second spell, although it seems to me that the obvious weakness of Luz's spells is that they need to be drawn on something. While Ida or Amity are just drawing a circle in the air, Luz should at least take a pen and paper. Maybe when Luz gets her own staff, she'll be able to draw in the air too. Speaking of staffs, in the last episode it was said that the bat queen was also part of someone's staff, but she no longer remembers for years. And what if the dead giant on which the settlement is located was the master of the bat queen? And that's why the bat queen was abandoned, as her master died. I don't know, it seems like a very likely scenario. I also liked the winter clothes of Amity and the twins, I generally like it when the characters in the animated series change their clothes depending on the circumstances.
@Seirei: Oh, I forgot to say, Amity's drawing was very cute. And the most interesting thing is that it shows Amity with a guy, not a girl. A sad day for those who brought Luz and Amity together.
@krutovalex: Well, I was drawing conclusions from what was shown to us by this point. Personally, it's strange for me to suspect an LGBT+ representative in every character, although I myself joked in early reviews that Luz might be bisexual, but so far it looks more like an ordinary female friendship.
@Seirei: very often, same-sex people catch a crash on people of the opposite sex. There's just one caveat: these are usually characters or stars (I know enough gays who are attracted to Lady Gaga, I know lesbians who like male actors). And then didn't Amity draw herself with a character in the book? I often see jokes like "lesbians like girls and Colin Firth /Robert Pattinson/ any man's name, in principle."
I'm not talking about bisexuality and pansexuality, since Amity is still kind of a lesbian.
@Muffin24: Well, at that time in the series, nothing was known about Amity's orientation, so I drew conclusions only based on those moments that were already known. But I will clarify that the messages above are just trolling towards people who, under each episode where Luz and Amity were shown together, spiked them.
I really like the series, but sometimes I hate the tactlessness of the Loos! Doesn't she realize that showing Amity's drawing is unethical, especially with her siblings? Time after time I notice
Luz pisses me off, because he does stuff over and over again, and then he regrets it. In general, he does not learn from mistakes. I hope she will cope in the next episodes, otherwise she will have to quit the series (((
What a stupid mania for constantly lying and taking other people's things without permission. What's the problem with asking for help right away? And even if you drive yourself into a dead end with an accidental lie, which sometimes happens in an attempt to defend yourself, find the strength to admit it, and do not continue to make it worse by deliberate actions. It's just not the first episode that follows such a scenario, where instead of immediately admitting her weakness or mistake, Luz creates danger for herself and others, and in the end she still has to admit everything and ask for help. We should probably learn from our mistakes.
@lis_pushistyj: You shouldn't be so dismissive, it's not a mania, it's a pattern of behavior. In general, most likely this will not be affected in any way in the series, but judging by Luz's mom (who sent her to a correction camp), Luz has a psychological problem: when you can't trust your parents and tell them about your needs, it's difficult to talk about it to other people. And when, since childhood, parents scold for the slightest misconduct and do not give a chance for mistakes or "deviations from the norm" - you learn to lie and do everything quietly, because subconscious logic works - "in any case, they will condemn me immediately and they will scold, but if I make sure that no one burns me down, then maybe they won't find out and there won't be any swearing." This is a common childish behavior in families where parents are very strict. So it can be understood. Well, there is also a point with the fact that she is very easily led to even the smallest manipulations (she is afraid to let people down and is ready to do anything to get their approval, as in the series about a pajama party or when she was naughty in the library with the twins) - she does not know how to interact in another way: fear of letting down + fear telling the truth because of a possible conviction = that's the kind of behavior.
@albinka_: And yes, I would like this series to focus on honesty and responsibility in such situations, and on the fact that you can rely on telling the truth to your loved ones, get support from them, and not on "if everything ended well, then there will be no consequences", because this is exactly what encourages such behavior. Just like with children, if parents threaten to punish for something all the time, but in the end they are never punished for it - children no longer believe that they may be in danger of something in the case of shoals, and cease to realize the possible consequences of their actions. That is, it turns out to be a vicious circle of such upbringing: parents itch and scold for everything, promising to punish, but in the end they do not punish, and the child is postponed that "one fig they do not allow me anything and scold, I'd better do it, and then I (perhaps if my misconduct turns out) will be scolded for half an hour than I will listen to the nonsense all day about not doing this, because in any case they won't punish me much and everything will end well. And so maybe they won't find out at all and no one will say a bad word to me."
I behaved like this myself as a child and I had many friends with similar upbringing and behavior. Probably now parents are trying to educate their children in a healthier psychological atmosphere, but in the 90s many parents sinned with this approach: just scold for everything, without understanding the reasons for their children's actions. I still don't tell my parents about almost any of my joints and problems, I can even lie about something, in the end I solve everything myself without their help, so as not to just listen to this babble about how careless I am and everything in my life is wrong, not like "normal" people :D despite the fact that I can build good honest relationships with other people, because in many ways I understood the reasons for my behavior and worked on it. I just don't want to waste my nerves specifically on my parents) And Luz is still a teenager who doesn't know how to do anything else yet, but by the end of the series, I hope she will learn)
@Victor_Flash: Is there any definite correlation between age and the size of the written text?) Well, yes, sometimes it gets in the arguments, but for whom "a lot of letters" - can just skip and not read) I'm 33.
On the contrary, I always read to the end. You are especially pleased. I'm kind of going to write something after watching it, but it's either already been written or it's getting lazy)))
