In a winter season full of absolute hype machine anime, Journal with Witch was a show that tackled the complicated dynamics of people especially as they live in the wake of grief. That show is obviously going to be Journal with Witch since that's the name of this episode and all but I don't know how adept some of you are at reading. I've been using these show notes as my own personal memo pad for…
