The Controversy Surrounding the Kisses in Izetta the Last Witch: A Fan Debate

Izetta the Last Witch is a anime television series that features a supernatural storyline revolving around the protagonist, Izetta, who is the last surviving witch in the world. The series became popular due to its unique blend of historical references and fantasy elements. One of the most talked-about aspects of the show is the romantic relationship between Izetta and the main character, Princess Finé. The first significant kiss between Izetta and Princess Finé occurs in episode eight of the series. This moment is a turning point in their relationship and showcases the depth of their connection. The kiss is tender and heartfelt, highlighting the growing romantic feelings between the two characters.

Recommended Audience: I mentioned fanservice, but what it has is pretty mild. You get one instance of Izetta hand-bra-ing herself after one of the maid girls literally yanks her dress right off her, and there is the groping scene later in the same episode, as well as some commentaries and comedy about how Finé's entire staff are made up of very buxom girls, and she's envious of their buxomness. It just stands out a bit more since the show is otherwise relatively clean.

They already easily gained the title of my two favorite characters of this whole anime season, since Izetta is just that irresistible, kind cutie that is so loyal to her beloved princess that I basically questioned her sexuality right from the beginning. There is some equipment nerdery going on, particularly when it comes to millitary equipment, which adds some nice touches to this show, and supposedly, Otto s counterpart, Adolf Hitler, was quite interested in the occult too.

The kiss is tender and heartfelt, highlighting the growing romantic feelings between the two characters. It also serves as a representation of love transcending societal expectations and barriers. Throughout the series, the relationship between Izetta and Princess Finé is a significant focus.

Izetta The Last Witch / Shuumatsu no Izetta

In 1939 C.E., the imperialist nation of Germania invaded a neighboring country. All at once, that war spread throughout Europe, and the era was dragged into a spiral of a great war.

Then, in 1940, Germania's attack turned towards the Principality of Elystadt, a small Alps country abundant with beautiful water and greenery.

The first episode was promising. They did a good job establishing things, and it felt like no scene was wasted. Fine really works as a confident, proactive princess. And the magic effects looked amazing.

This goes on my watchlist.

First episode was really good, and I loved the buildup towards the end. Definitely gonna follow this one.

Jokes aside, that really was quite entertaining. Fine is a good lead, the premise is interesting, and it's making damn impressive use of it's score

Like I said on the previous thread I tried to start, I get a lot of Valkyria Chronicles vibes from the series.

Its a good thing.

Fine is shaping up to be a nice protagonist. She's competent and doesn't just rely on her guards/witch. The general WW2 aesthetic is nice, but keeping some names the same or nearly the same while changing others is going to make things confusing. Not sure if I like how Izetta is shaping up to be, but we've only seen 30 seconds of her, so I'll hold off on judgements. I'm sure it will get silly later, but so far nothing too ridiculous has happened yet, which is probably a good sign.

Much better than I expected from the premisse. I come around to actually liking having this be a not-WWII being fought by not-quite Germany; it means the series can deviate from actual history at its leisure without running the risk of offending people. Currently it's still blatantly filing off the serial numbers, as we see not-Germany carefully invading half of not-Poland, which as you know, Bob, in real history was due to the USSR invading the other half.

Joking aside, the geopolitics and reason as for why our princess was traveling incognito to not-Switzerland made sense, the action was done well and the characters were engaging, though I hope that the two not-Gestapo officers on the train do not become recurring viewpoint characters or that we're supposed to find them sympathetic at some point.

One minor annoyance was the shower scene, which felt like dropping into the hoariest of anime cliches, the Shower of Angst (and fanservice). Somebody suggested it was supposed to showoff her scars, but if so it did a poor job of it as I never noticed them.

I noticed the scars. Maybe you were distracted.

Everyone on the internet seems be viewing this as the next coming of Pretty Good Anime, but honestly I didn't enjoy it that much. I didn't hate it, exactly, but the more it went on the more I was dreading the part where they'd introduce the witch character. And when they did, her personality seemed kind of eh. Like, I can't really imagine how she'd fit into any kind of political thriller plot, and given that that was the entirety of the first episode I feel like the show is working at cross purposes.

I mean, obviously it's too early to judge even what kind of series this is going be, but it just felt weird to me.

From the promotional material, goatee-jerk is probably the main villain

They're only in two shots and the framing never really draws attention to them

You know what this anime need?

Obligatory Bayo cameo.

Twas a good opener.

It doesn't really do anything super-original, and the deviations from actual WWII are hilariously flimsy (the names being changed and Austria being split into two countries, basically) but in the execution I have no complaints. Fin� seems like a good character so far, the drama is well dosed, and the music when Izetta awakened was fantastic. Good animation too, but that's obligatory for a first episode.

edit: Started a character page. I have no idea if it's "Bergman" or "Belkman", though� the former looks more Germanish.

I am not sure what to think of this series yet but it does have some potential. I like the Princess and the witch seems cool from what little we have seen of her. The animation seems reasonably good as well. I am not too sold on the faux-WWII setting although I will wait to see what they do with it.

If this series climax will be Izetta versus Mecha Hitler Emperor, that's eaisly the anime of the year material.

Only if he has a jetpack.

Caught the first episode, liking what I'm seeing so far. I'm not really a history buff so I can't easily follow all of the name changes going on here like others can but whatever. I fully expected Fine to be the girly-girl and Izetta to be the tomboy so having it be the other way around is a nice touch.

Other than that, I don't really have anything to say that hasn't already been said. I'm definitely following it.

I really enjoyed the first episode of this. I loved the entire train sequence. And those two bodyguards. I know they both died . But I felt the anime still did a very good job at making them likable characters.

I also like Fine a lot already.

I'll definitely be following this.

Fine so far seems to be a strong-willed interesting protagonist, from what little we saw of Izetta she also seems to have an interesting personality.

They also seem to have put enough effort into this to actually have surprisingly good German. All the written German is perfectly readable, special mention going to the close-up of that newspaper which has entire articles written in flawless German(nothing plot-important though, something about finding cannabis during some home raids) and the layout and font resembles the real "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung".

I also think the two arias from "Die Zauberfl�te" where also actually sung by a Japanese woman since she seemed to have a slight accent but it was still very good.

Not sure about the episode title though, as it was translated in the (English) subtitles: Der anfang der Schlacht, shouldn't that have been Der anfang der Krieg as it was translated as "the start of the war".

"Der Anfang der Schlacht" literally means "The beginning of the battle", "Der Anfang des Krieges" means "The beginning of the war".

The only mistake I saw in the subs was that Izetta was called the "Weiss Hexe" which would be right if it was meant to empathize her using White Magic but since she is a Woman In White it probably referred to her appearance in which case it should have been "(die)Weisse Hexe".

Pretty sure I saw it spelled "Weisse Hexe" in the subs when I watched it.

To be fair I watched Horrible Subs so others might have gotten it right.

Overall, I found the anime to be underwhelming and not worth the hype.

- Emily - 1/5 - I honestly couldn't get through the first episode of "Izetta the last witch kiss" because it just didn't hook me at all. The animation was subpar and the characters were bland and uninteresting. The kiss scenes were cringeworthy and felt unnecessary, adding nothing to the story. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this anime.

- Mark - 2/5 - I had high hopes for "Izetta the last witch kiss" as I'm a fan of fantasy and romance anime, but this one fell short for me.
