Read full review on AniList →Journal with Witch is kind of a miracle. It’s an SoL series about a young girl Asa going through it after the death of her parents in a car accident, yet it never wallows in the depression or teenage angst that that setup would imply. No, instead, when Asa ditches school, all the adults in her life…
Read full review on AniList →Journal with Witch, despite its quiet assurance and surprisingly sparse direction and storyboarding, might be mistaken for something insignificant. On the surface, it appears to be a misleadingly naive affair, even by the standards of this genre: a relatively low-key drama about a girl whose life is…
