Good Witch of the West - Astraea Testament - 02
This episode was a bit confusing and hard to understand, though if I’m not wrong, the following things became clear:
- Firiel is Adale’s sister, I guess this would be a half-sister, as her father isn’t the same as Adale’s.
- Roux is the easiest way for the enemy to find out about Ephemeris, as Firiel’s father’s now nowhere to be found and the books regarding the Ephemeris are burned.
- Roux really hates all kinds of nobles.
- Whoever’s blood can react with the queen’s stone, has the right to become queen.
- Somehow, the queen can also be called the Good Witch of the West, though I have no idea why.
Apart from that, we have a very deep storyline going on, though I don’t understand any of it yet. I think we get more info on that in the next couple of episodes, because after all, this only has been the second episode. A scene that caught my eye was where Roux got tortured. This was probably the first time ever I’ve seen a mere child get this treatment.
This was clearly an intermezzo-episode. It wasn’t as good as the first one, but still I enjoyed watching it. The characters, for one, were very interesting, apart from perhaps Adale. I don’t know why, but she’s a bit too friendly with Firiel.
It’s nice that some less popular anime are being blogged!
Thanks for the summary.

Hehe, thanks. Although it’s not the best summary I’ve ever written. ^^;
