Witch Hat Atelier Episode 4 Review
Did Coco and others manage to evade the dragon?
All four witches tried their best to evade the dragon and go somewhere safe, but they failed to do that every time. The moment they think that they have taken the right path, they come back to the spot from where they started their journey in the first place. This tired everyone, and the girls decided to take rest somewhere the dragon would not be able to see them from afar.
Did Coco and Tetia make up?
While resting, Coco returned Tetia’s cap to her, and she felt extremely bad for blaming Coco. Coco also gave Tetia her own cloak so that she would no longer feel cold. This further made Tetia feel bad, and she activated an original spell that is supposed to make one feel as if they are in a cloud. Here, she told Coco that she was sorry for her behaviour, and they made up right away. They start planning after that on what they can do next to save themselves from the wrath of the dragon.
What do they plan?
Everyone concluded that the whole area must be under a spell, which means that there should also be a drawing of the spell. That is when Coco reveals she had seen a spell on top of a tower. However, to reach that spell, they must get past the dragon, which becomes increasingly difficult because it gets bigger in size, and the witches just shrink.
Coco comes with a very good plan, which is to cover the dragon in Tetia’s cloud magic so that it falls asleep right away.
Did they finally succeed?
After that, they try out numerous spells so that they can make a cloud big enough for the dragon. Even though everybody was failing, Coco actually came through with a great idea, which helped Agott come up with a proper plan that they can use. After that, they make the huge cloud, and it literally makes the dragon fall asleep right away.
Following this, the witches find themselves in front of the seal that has been the issue from the very beginning.
What happens in the end?
Even though Coco and others wipe out the seal, the dragon starts attacking them. Thankfully, the moment Agott was about to get eaten by the dragon, Quifrey came to help. He defeats the dragon and saves everyone else. However, the mysterious dark witch gets hold of Coco, and he does something to her which is not disclosed to the audience.
What worked and what did not work?
The story of this anime isn’t very complex or hard to understand. It follows a simple flow, and the characters are likeable but not deeply complicated. However, the animation takes everything to another level and often feels unmatched. In fact, the animation is its biggest strength and is what mainly carries the show.
