In this episode of After Hours Arc, I recap Episode 5 of Witch Hat Atelier — “The Dragon’s Labyrinth”, and this one had everything: tension, humor, and some of the best animation of the season.

The apprentices are trapped in a stone maze with a massive blue dragon, and what follows is a mix of panic, teamwork, and real character growth. From Tetia’s cloud spell to Agott’s walls finally starting to crack, this episode becomes a turning point for the whole group. And when things get dire, Qifrey steps in with one of the most intense spells we’ve seen yet.

If you’re loving the blend of magic, mystery, and character‑driven storytelling, this episode delivers.
