Am I the only one who thought the witch was literally Annie… And as it turned out that the fuzzball joined on the boat to become her familiar. They randomly teleported to the island by way of magic, and overall the magic isn’t well explained in the world building at all, so a temporal whoopsie or “oh god, Helck is destroying everything, do a terminator” last resort option are definitely still on the table.
I’m glad to see a second season on the horizon. For someone who watches anime blind each season with very little ln/manga knowledge, this one turned from “oh god no, it’s another isekai” into my favorite self acknowledging “yes, but we’re doing it in the best way possible.”
