Just finished Release That Witch and honestly loved it. The world-building, kingdom development, witches, and wholesome vibe made it really enjoyable.
Now I’m wondering, should I read the novel or the manhwa next? And is it better to start from the beginning or continue from where the donghua ended?
Would love some recommendations from people who’ve read it.
I think im a bit late on this but HOLY SHIT!!!!!! I remember reading this peak 1500 chapter novel years ago, and now it got an adaptation and its PEAK as well. Im surprised at how accurate the characters were to the novel (unlike the manhua) and goddamn the animation is decent. I imagine how epic the battles against the church and demons will be with that kind of animation. Praying for there to be a 2nd season AT LEAST, but I guess until then there's enough time to reread the novel 10 times over (every time skipping the dream world sequences of course)
They are like beavers, they feel extreme distress if they aren't building colossal civilian infrastructure projects. They will spontaneously spawn concrete out of thin air if none are available. The concrete must flow.
That's just a genetic racial ability, see.
To be clear, this is NOT true. But I do feel like that's a very funny stereotype.
It takes a particular level of stupidity for an executive to think the manhua has more potential than the web novel. Those higher-ups' level of insanity is over 9000. If they have some decency, they should quit their jobs.
Here is a compilation of every major character that was supposed to play a roll in the first season of Release That Witch.
This comprises not just characters we’ve seen, but also characters we haven’t seen thanks to revealed concept art of those characters.
I hope you all enjoy! And I apologize for the low quality of some of the images.
1: Roland Wimbledon
2: Carter Lannis and Iron Axe
3: Anna
4: Anna and Roland
5: Nightingale/Rosignol (Veronica Glen)
6: Nana (Nanawa) Pine/Payne
7: Tigui Pine/Payne
8: Garcia Wimbledon
9: Gerald/Goron Wimbledon and Timothy Wimbledon
10: Tilly Wimbledon
SPOILERS IN THE COMENTS FOR THE REMAINING CHARACTERS!
that its only 8 episodes. I remember reading this on volare back in 2016/2017 as it was being translated and only recently realized it got a donghua adaptation. Binged the whole thing in one sitting and the tone/atmosphere/direction was spot on, but now theres just that empty feeling after having finished a good show. Time to reread the webnovel i guess.
So now cement formula and steam engine are complex tech
There is absolutely nothing good being made in the anime industry these days; it's all hentai, ecchi, harem isekai bullshit. Andd once something good came, studios are fucking their minds over it, fking retards !!!!!!!!!!
Tencent Video: We won't approve the release of the donghua in mainland China. We need to adapt the manhua, not the web novel, because we want witch lolis instead of those disgusting MILFs and adult witches. If there are no witch lolis, there's no way this donghua can be popular. Furthermore, we need to add humor and make it family-friendly; it is the only way to guarantee its success.
Are you beginning to feel stupid, higher-ups from Tencent Video, or do you need more time to take in those stats so you can begin to realize how stupid you are?
Spoiler warning again. What's y'all's opinion on the dream world and everything going on over there? I'm where he just brought a bunch of tequila witches into it.
I've honestly not been a fan of the story telling style/execution of taking over Zeros powers. Feel like it's very drawn out and not very enjoyable for me at least.
I'm hoping there's a big pay off to make up for it. Please tell me there's a big pay off lol.
Hi! I've just binged the first season, and I'm shocked at how good the story is. It is so well balanced! I felt like I know the story yet everything comes as a surprise. A good one, no, the best! surprise, bcs lotr and asoiaf are my top favourite media, and this series is now next to it!
Could you, pleases, help me with couple.. of questions. No spoilers, pls. I read on the sub that the second season is not guaranteed, why is that? I haven't watched many Chinese shows, did they use the show as a single promotion? If there is a chance for season 2 what's the usual release rate for donghuas?
About the original media. Do I understand it right, there was a novel, which was adapted into comic book, and now animation? Which one would you recommend to read? I prefer text, does the novel have all the details? Does it come out first?
Does the original media hold up to the show? I saw poster pictures and they show witches as anime housemaid, I hate that vibe. I'm here for medieval story, is it the same in the book?
I also glanced the story isn't over. If there is no spoilers tea on the behind the scenes, please, spill (like g.r.r. martin would die before finishing the story type of gossip). I'd hate to love something and get my heart broken.
Kind regards, valeria
Hi everyone,
I don't have to tell anyone what to do. But this is pretty much Yuewen saying, season 2 will happen 99% confirmed. They have made a poll, and two posts today. One is just tick "Yes" and the other one is implying that RTW episodes/season 2 will be happening.
Twitter sauce: https://x.com/OfficialYuewen/status/2050052657570804021
I'm reading the light novel and i have entered the last 500 chapters(currently at 1184). I don't want to read the whole dream world sequence, i find it boring. So, if skipping the whole sequence won't ruin the story please highlight to me the skippable chapters.
Well, even though the donghua will be released on Bilibili tomorrow, the numbers are starting to increase at a good pace in the last few days. Let's hope the Chinese fans support this series with all they have. By the way, the total playback is increasing despite the donghua not having been released yet because it is counting the PVs.
