I think it’s unknown because there are no fansubs of it. Too bad, though, because it’s worth a watch.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I kept wondering what the witches were exactly up to, but because nobody else blogged it, I had no way to check. ^^;

Anyway, I’m glad you like this series. It’s another one of those unknown gems that don’t deserve so much neglection.

Wow, like you’re the only one blogging this series! I just did a marathon of the episodes up to 24 (they were just taking up space on our HD recorder), and though at first it seemed rather silly, these later episodes were really great.

I believe “kanbu” means “leader.” He’s the one guiding the head witch, whatever her name is. He’d been sealed and wants the “light” magic that Sasami possesses. The head witch believed that once they receive Sasami’s light magic, they’d have the power to guide both the magic and the human world “properly”… it means conquering the human world.

Amitabu is the dream form of the keura, which is all the evil energy of the witches sealed away in the purest soul they could find.
