I've been watching the anime, which so far is 100% faithful mostly 100% faithful to the manga plus being pretty good, and by my math they are burning up eight chapters for every three episodes. That works out to the anime being able to cover 35 or so chapters. Seeing how we are now at chapter 58 and the new Witch assassin has just appeared, and that same assassin appears in the opening credits of the anime, meaning the new Witch gets her own anime ending arc, the anime is going to have to cut out a huge chunk of stuff. I can guarantee one episode is going to be burned up with the girls at the beach mini-arc, as in is an immutable law of the universe that every anime has a fan-service beach episode, so that leaves nine remaining episodes covering 24 chapters. Any thoughts as to what they will cut out?
My bet for the arc most likely to hit the cutting room floor first is the one covering the memory manipulating Witch. Also, any mention of the weird scientist uncle, and replicating the medicine seems likely to be cut due to time as, outside of being an exposition delivery mechanism, this plot thread doesn't seem to be anything but a dead end in the manga.
