Witch Hat Revisit

Noticing some unfortunate, yet still somehow understandable, suspicions of how long the upcoming Witch Hat Atelier anime would “hold together” did get me thinking back to those just as unfortunate cracks that “the trailer’s always the best part of the movie” and the days of OVAs (although I can now think of a few OVAs that didn’t “hold together,” or indeed even reach their concluding instalment). At a certain point, a sort of premature bargaining had me wondering whether there might be an early point in the manga where, should the anime be fortunate enough to “hold together” even that far, you could “cut off there” with some measure of satisfaction. I took the first volume of the manga off my shelves and thought that getting to the moment where Coco is given her witch hat would work for me. Then, I kept reading through the other eleven volumes of manga I have.
