(just aired)Huh, I thought this week was the break, but the episode showed up today instead. I guess next week is the break.Student festival is the finale for this series.
Kinda boring episode.
Did Nico just say the n word...
This Episode was genuinely awful and ruined Moi for me. Maybe it was the acting or the script was weak, but it just made Moi out to be a difficult to deal with control freak who doesn't really care what Nico wants or bother to notice. It didn't even work in the shoujo love interest way like how Jinshi's characterised. He was just unpleasant to the end. Sucked the fun out of the romance, which was the core reason I was watching this. What were they doing with this episode? Terrible.
>>282432343Was he like that in the manga too
I have no idea what this show is trying to beAnd why did we waste three episodes on the fujos?
>>282432368It's a gag anime that sometimes have a plot

Nico's dynamite body....
/fa/gs are pretty nasty. male apparel from the waist down can only go a month max between washes due to urinal piss backsplash.
>>282432844>cafe>movie>cafe>planetarium>restaurant10 hours planned of this shit. No wonder she let him sleep on the train
>>282432361He has the same regression into a usually stoic but randomly petulant manchild.
The adaptation of this chapter was as boring as in the manga. A charitable view is that it's part of the point, to put you in the shoes of Nico and the others who have to put up with Morihito's autistm, but that doesn't make it any less dull.
>wearing jeans for an entire year without washing themis this normal, what the fuck
>>282433924yes
>>282433036Just use a stall when you're out. I never piss in the urinals. Also sit down to piss at home, since I'm the one that cleans the fucking thing.
>>282433036>due to urinal piss backsplash.>using urinals>whipping your dick out in front of other menlmao look at this faggot, couldn't be me
i know how you feel miharu, i do not give a fuck about moi's autistic special interests either

Real movie btw. Tells about a mutiny on a battleship during first russian revolution (not the big one). Has one of the early uses of color in movies and is somewhat influential from cinematography standpoint.
>>282434562>>282434098
>>282434562Also based on a true story.
>>282434382I want a webm with the voice Xc
>>282432368And why are some episodes oddly detailed about niche hobbies such as marble collecting and denim jeans?
Haven't watched ep 23 and 24. Did literally anything of note happen?I might be completely filtered at this point.
>>28243558123 used the intro of another anime and it was about that mangaka girl24 was about denim jeans and a date which ruined Moi's character
>>282435727grim
Sket Dance was funnier
just wanna see nico cause problems with dumb spells
NICO WHAT THE FUCK?!
If we get another season will be the loli nico season right?
>>282437333No, that will be the season after that.
>>282434382>>282436878NICO NO
>>282437654Damn. Very low chances for that.The loli Nico arc has proven to be the best arc of all Witch Watch. And I'm not only saying it because I'm a lolicon. The beginning of the manga was weak stuff and I kept watching it for my man Moi.
>>282434562This was so unexpected and hilarious.It will be of nobody's interest, but this is not only for the oddly specific movie choice itself in the gag, but also because Battleship Potemkin is referenced in one of our most famous old comedy movies of all time in my country (internally famous at least, I really don't think we've managed nor even tried to export it too far and wide, since after the whole theme of the movie is make fun of a specific corporate mentality of the time in this specific country and the people having to live with it, so it was probably mostly only funny for us).Anyway, in our internal memory it's probably our most remembered national comedy movie series, and in the story there's a part about a 6h+ long movie movie called "the Kotiomkin Battleship" with is a clear nudge at "the Potemkin Battleship", which led to the most remembered punchline in the movie:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EZEd9FGvbw... which will definitely not be funny without context, but anyway the point is that here everyone knows this punchline.So yeah, it was double funny to me when Moi dragged Nico to watch the Potemkin Battleship of all things.
>>282434562moi taking her see an Eisenstein film on a date is the most "literally me" moment I have ever experienced watching anime
>>282436727Nico's desire for helping people and her constantly causing trouble with magic just work against each other. Magical shenanigans are a good idea in principle, allowing the manga/show to do any sort of plot it wants. But it destroys Nico's character in the process. She should have been more chaotic neutral "magic lol" archetype not the helping people sort for it to synergise better.
Why plotfags watch a gag show?
>>282438270>She should have been more chaotic neutral "magic lol" archetype not the helping people sort for it to synergise better.The MC of Franken Fran(Fran), always, ALWAYS wants to help people and do better and it always ends up horribly wrong with great consequences for the plot. It's just the writting of Witch Watch which is generally weak.
>>282438332I'm a characterfag not a plotfag. And Himeko from Sket Dance was such a great character, one of the most favorite anime girls for me (don't like her shoes for some reason though, same witn Nico's). Astra also had pretty good female characters. And Nico is just a downgrade in all aspects for me, aside from creating episode plots out of her magic.
>>282437897>le oh no im getting cancelled realization facelol
>>282438125Hello WakoposterThat's an interesting story although I didn't get the video at all lol.By the way I made a chat for talking about anime and manga, if you're curious see pastebin.com/RFk9GRmH>>282435759Well yeah, he was coming fresh from studying sorachi and was imitating him far more and was younger (he's 51 rn) and more desperate (first serialization) and now he has 2 kids and a wife and he's just having fun shitposting and making a manga based on himself and his kids
So what was the point of the glasses guy? They have him and Miharu together in the cour 2 promos thinking he'll be important but then he was introduced so late and just disappeared
>>282439186Good question also did they never introduce chubby girl? She was supposed to be in already
>>282439186I think they only have him because they're a package deal.......sort of. This anime focused too much on the fujos
>>282433831marbles episode was kino tho
>>282439186he's a more significant in the chapters after this, which i guess is feeling around for a second season. lots of dumb shit gets 2nd season these days so it's not outside the realm of possibility
>>282439910 (append)he's more significant* fuck i gotta stop posting right after i wake up
I want to impregnate Nemu
>>282434562Don't forget the absolutely kino scene with the stroller on the stairs. Shit is Akira slide tier with how many references it got.
>>282438965>That's an interesting story Thanks>although I didn't get the video at all lol.That was to be expected: other than the language barrier it lacks the whole required setup and momentum, I just included the video to give a general idea.>the chatHonestly a nice idea, but I'm not really sure I will participate: I'm too shy for this stuff.Good luck with it however, the concept is good and I get your reasons for it: maybe in the future I'll change my mind and go back to this link, who knows. Thanks regardless.
>>282440513You've called me a Wakoposter but I've failed to include a Wako to live up to the expectations, how shameful.
>>282435237the manga is very much Shinohara cramming in every niche thing he's interested in
Absolutely unerotic anime
>>282441408The river episode was pretty erotic.
>>282432273Never realized Nico's nicos were so full
fuck cat
>>282432343Anon are you ok?Kind of the whole point was that it was his first ever date and that he failed because he over-planned.You're literally writing him off because of one failed date. Nico didn't do that because she's known him for years and understands why he failed, and Moi also realized he failed and can hopefully learn from his mistakes this time.
>>282441965half gaijins are always portrayed as stacked in anime
>>282432781>expecting plot from a gag manga adaptationYou can only blame yourself
>>282432818I would have loved to see her reaction if Morihito had said yes.
>>282432844Here, she's not saying "Moi is good looking, so it's fine", but rather "Moi's acting cute, so it's fine". Important difference.
>>282435237It's absurdist comedy. It's funny when people go to absurd lengths regarding extremely random topics, and in a long running series you can stretch that humour by making it a established character trait that's explored deeper each time it's brought up.The marble collecting episode was a red herring where they made the whole thing up (though even then they leaned on the fact that Morihito has been established to be really into this sort of niche shit), but the denim jeans is sort of a punch line after several episodes (i.e. real life years of manga chapters) repeatedly bringing up that Morihito is really into vintage clothing, a gag that randomly started when Nico was just trying to dress up in front of Morihito near the beginning of the series.
Nico is so cute
Pretty hand
>>282434562I've known about the movie for years and this is the first time I realized the "e" in Potemkin was a "yo" (ë) and not a "ye" (e). I'd never heard it pronounced out loud and the dots can be left out in Cyrillic, so I just always assumed it was pronounced Potyemkin, not Potyomkin.
>>282435727>a date which ruined Moi's characterEverything he did was entirely in-character
I love her
>>282432368It's Shinohara throwing darts on whatever topic he liked doing. And somehow got approved
I really like Nico's outfits
>
Fuck Nico
>>282442104It's true too, East Asian women are pretty flat compared to westerners, in average terms.
>>282441562The witches in this show are sluts
>>282442524>Nico is so cuteLiterally the only reason I picked this show.And she is indeed cute, I wish more of the show was just showcasing cute Nico rather than gags with a 50% chance to hit.
Is the anime over yet? I don't hate it but I kind of want to have one less anime to keep track of
Where's the cat slut? I need her
>>282443394giwtwm
>>282443493final ep next week
This is probably the only shot of Nico actually looking her age in the whole anime.
>>282443532Ah I see,It's been a decent anime so far but I think I can safely say that this is definitely an anime for older kids, teens or the such.I could show this to my kids when I have them
>>282438223Morihito is beyond pleb tastes.
>>282443586It's a shounen jump manga, the demographic is literally kids 10~18 years old.
Why did it take so long for Morihito to finally get some episodes to himself?
>>282444785He exists solely as an object for le quirky chungus witch to adore
>>282443833I know, but this is one that I genuinely feel like it is for that demographic for sure.
>>282433924Levis-fags are crazy
>>282444785Morihito is too stoic for shinohara's personality.
>>282440513>>282440626Thank you wonderful Wakoposter.
I enjoy this show for what it was but I wouldn't lie I got baited by the YOASOBI OP thinking it was much more exciting
>>282445245As opposed to what other WSJ series?
>>282446320You should never trust yoasobi openings, you should have learned this after Frieren at the very least, if not Witch from Mercury.
>>282431307Is S2 good?Why should I watch the witch?
>>282442623Her curves were so hot here.
>>282446515I'll admit that I don't read much WSJ but plenty of shonen manga I read would be considered for adults in America
>>282446946This anime knows how to casually deliver.
>>282431307Morihito was seriously bullshitting the other guys with his bet. Of course he's going to "nail" a date with Nico. He could bring her to a literal dumpster fire for a data and she would still be happy.
>>282445915Shinohara is pretty autistic too though
>>282446320https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_NB6QkfzAMIt really is misleading but at least we got the OP.And with the Moi-chan denim episode. We almost got everything that's been featured here
>>282438332I just wanted cute romance
you wouldn't wear another man's jeansthat's the closest thing to his crotch
>>282442478>It's absurdist comedy.It’s not. It’s being presented as something quirky but wholesome that the audience can get into. Half the chapter is an info dump presented with full sincerity. Inserting a couple “this is boring” comments from the peanut gallery doesn’t change that, nor does it turn it into a comedy. Actual absurdist comedy is a spectrum ranging from Discworld to Bobobo. Shinohara is too autistic to make his hobbies seem interesting, so he tries to write it tongue-in-cheek to protect his own ego.
"La Corazzata Kotionkin... è una cagata pazzesca" (cit.)
>>282433036its doable if you change your underwear and don't use them all the day
>>282434562In Italy we perfectly know the existence of this movie, because it used in a famous gag in one of our most famous popular movies. "Fantozzi", the joke is that the wageslave Fantozzi is forced by his high class boss to watch pretentious intellectual movies, ironically about communism in the case Battleship Potemkin. After the movie the boss ask to every wageslave what they liked about the movie, and everyone spill out bullshit to appease their boss. At some point Fantozzi can't resist and say that >>282451331, Battleship Potemkin is a shit movie, and every one applaud.
>>282442104Wait, Nico is a hapa?
>>282451330The dump being presented in full sincerity is what makes it absurd.Both can be true at the same time.Some time ago I saw some screenshots flying around about a thread (I think it was a reddit thread) where one random guy was going around answering everyone's questions about Japanese washlet toilets in ridiculous detail. The answers were 100% serious and accurate and showed lots of experience and trial and error. They were helpful to anyone who uses washlet toilets or who's just curious about them. At the same time, it was very funny (and wholesome) to see someone take that topic so seriously without a hint of irony or sarcasm.That's what happens with Morihito.The set up was a mild throwaway joke that served as an explanation for a romcom trope, but in taking it seriously and expanding it every time it's brought up again, it's made funny in an absurd way. That doesn't mean Morihito (or the author) aren't being serious about the topic in question.
>>282448262Remember that he doesn't know that, nor that he's cursed to friendship with Nico by Nico herself.
>>282447249Whether adults can also watch it or not is another matter, but I can't think of a WSJ manga that is seriously not aimed at teenagers. Perhaps there's some that are aimed at older (i.e. high school aged) teenagers, but that's about it.I'd say the specific target demographic for Witch Watch is middle schoolers who are looking forward to what high school is going to be like. But then again, even something popular among adults like Jujutsu Kaisen, is greatly stereotyped to be chuuni shit (i.e. perfect for middle schoolers) and actually watched by children as young as elementary school aged.
fun episode
Tell me the denim part was fake please. Today I learnt there are smiley face watches that cost 1.5m. That's enough for one day.
>>282431307What's even the point of the teacher+mangaka student episodes?They have nothing to do with the main cast and are essentially just completely different shows forced into Witch Watch.Is the teacher the author's oc or something?shit's ass
>>282454872The whole manga is the author's OC anon. And yes, that includes Uron whatever.
What are you watching next season witch watchers? I only have one show I'm watching, just because I was reading the manga for it a long time ago. There doesn't seem to be anything good.
>>282441965They are precious.
>>282454872It's shoehorned into relevancy later. Not terribly so, but helps a little to introduce the backstory. Honestly they could have gotten rid of it and nothing of value would be lost.
Hopefully the dork witch wife will be focused on for once.Do we really need this recap?Sausage fest of a house.You shouldn't wash your jeans too much it turns out. They soften with use that is ruined when you wash them.Hopefully they skip the OP in the last episode or bring back the first cour OP, it was so much better than this turd.Cute witch wife butt.Used pants are used goods, you wouldn't stick it in used goods would you?Wear is fine however you should patch holes. I have pairs I've patched with the iron on kind and they still work great and are very comfy still.Did this chapter or the Mr.Meeseeks episode come out first?>one of her dresses>casts the magic while wearing her dressesI know she won't end up in her undies but an anon can hope.Guess the mangaka went down a YT rabbit hole on jeans and wanted to include it in the manga somehow.I don't think a group of guys would argue about the best date or spots to go to. I've never seen it, never had it happen even though my friend and I will talk about some weird shit. Maybe suggest ideas if you know a homie has girl he's interested in.A daito with her oni.Cute witch wife daito outfit.Witch wifes delusions are adorable especially juxtaposed against oni realities.Never liked coffee, mud water. Tea is ok. Just plain water is what I usually go for.Cute napping eyecatch.Anon posting on 2channel about how much he hates those damn normies.
>>282441965any respectable witch has good mana tanks
>>282431307It's too bad we're not getting Pajama Party.
>>282441408Wrong
Loli in bikini episode when?
>>282433500>she went through all of that torture and still said that to himThis redeems Nico for slandering Moi to her friends so they don't fall in love with him.
>>282432713See you next season
>>282433543>randomly petulant manchildCome on, Moi is by far the most mature member of the main cast and is the most responsible about the duty of taking care of and protecting Nico. Any time a man has a vice, even just one, the explanation is always childishness. Childish is such a common insult for men like it's the worst thing you can be as a man. Like that's the one thing that makes you a failure of a man. Like society needs to destroy every last bit of your inner child so you can be a good stoic soulless machine.
>>282442557Pretty feet too
>>282446320It should’ve just been an action romcom series like Air Gear with several subplots to cover throughout the series but it fails completely as a generic sitcom about monsters
>>282456856>Did this chapter or the Mr.Meeseeks episode come out first?I'm fairly sure the Mr. Meeseeks episode is older than this entire mang.
>>282457881Nico wears that in that episode knowing full well it is erotic and expects Moi to tell her to go change to something presentable. She wears it to get a reaction out of him.She then proceeds to wear it with no shame in front of all the other men in the house a few episodes later.Nico a slut.
Nico's fat honkers.
>>282431307How much of the manga did the anime cover? Is the manga worth getting into if I just want to see Morihito and Nico's romance develop?
>>282463279>DevelopHow do I put thisMoi's chan role will be that of a father. Don't worry, it's not Usagi drop
>>282463666Damn it satan, you leave me very confused and curious but with even less willpower to actually start reading the manga
>>282432368>I have no idea what this show is trying to beI feel like I can't understand which characters are supposed to matter. Obviously, there's everyone in the house. But then there's all these side characters who will show up and sometimes take over entire episodes, then go unmentioned for weeks. Should I be keeping up with their arcs? They don't get enough time for me to invest myself and don't get too little for me to forget entirely. And then there's the plot. Am I supposed to...care? The whole prophecy plot clearly doesn't matter, and sometimes it feels like Moi and Nico's relationship never progresses. I like this anime, but when I think about it I realize there's a bunch of pretty unrelated stuff all going on at the same time. And the anime never really focuses in on any of them for an extended period
>>282463279It's not really worth getting into buf might be worth watvhing once in a while, like 80 if 90% of the manga is random hijinks that could be watched in any order.But the romance is definitely one of the weaker bits, little progress, little drama, and a practically foretold conclusion.
dogshite episode.
>>282432368I honestly forgot the other cast members have powers
>>282467500well when their actually frequently demonstrated powers are functionally "getting owned forever", "rapechad", and "being gay" it's kind of hard to remember what special abilities they're supposed to have
The whole denim bit made me want to claw my eyes out.Is this what people felt when they went to see a comedy show and it ended up just being Andy Kaufman reading The Great Gatsby as everyone got more and more pissed off?
early on I was fine with the ratio of gags/SoL/plot. But when 60% of an episode is "look how much a faggot Moi is," I realized no amount Nico and Nemu can keep be interested in this show
>>282470826are you me?even if this somehow gets a 2nd season i don't think i'll watch it
>>282470940Completely agree. I wouldn't even rate this show that bad, the fun parts were actually fun, but I slowly lost interest in it. since it is so scattered, I might check in whenever there is more of my girl Nemu.I know the industry isn't like this, but the show would have been better as a spin-off about Keigo and Nemu . but everything is about manga sales, I guess
>>282467805I still think making them all live together is a mistake. The house should've been just Moi and Nico.
>>282473541Kanshi's character depends on having someone around to watch over him whenever he does something really stupid that comes back to bite him, but i do agree that keigo and miharu could live elsewhere without issue.
>>282473541Awful take
>>282473541Based take
>>282473541I'm so glad I don't have to read your Witch Watch
All the animeonlies watching this have such shit taste and opinions you make me want to set myself on fire. I’m sure you’ll all be back for S2 despite your constant bitching, so see you again in 2027 or whatever.
>>282448205Goodness...
>>282475942So it's our fault the anime billed itself as a shonen, but is actually a shojo? 9/10 times an anime's purpose is to sell the manga, the least it could have done was be honest about what it was
>>282476169>So it's our fault the anime billed itself as a shonenWEEKLYSHOUNENJUMP
>>282448205nico's lickety-slit
>>282476169Brainlet take befitting of an animeonly.
>>282476191well, yeah, that was my point. the series is a shojo-in-disguise, in a shonen publication. my complaint was not about its content, but the lack of honesty
>>282476582It’s a gag series. I think you projected your ecchi harem romcom fantasies onto it because your brain has rotted away from other shounen slop. I guess since you’ll probably be back to complain about S2 maybe the big titty character will make you happy. Or maybe you’re more of a loli person. Since you seem like the type of person who can only enjoy something if you want to fuck it.
Witch Watch is a silly gag series but the scene where Nico's dress explodes and she's wearing fully detailed pantyhose underneath made the whole thing worth it.
>>282476697...shit man, you're totally right. I guess that's why I've watched those other gag series this season, why I still liked WW, why I watched the other witch show clearly marketed towards women this season, and enjoyed it. It's because I only enjoy ecchi harem shit that I lost interest a show that is "harem-romcom lite, but genders are reversed."
>>282477964I just don’t understand how anyone could watch a trailer or even the opening and feel like the series was “dishonest” and “tricked them”. What did you expect??
Either spend more time on the miko or the student council.The fujos should die in a car accident
I had to drop this, my willpower to endure another fujoshit/fujoshi teacher episode ran out. Worst WSJ adaptation in a long while.
>>282475591>Kanshi's character depends on having someone around to watch over him whenever he does something really stupid that comes back to bite himLol for most of the series that's us the audience. Kan chapters can best be described as "Kanshi fucks around with magic, proceeds to find out" and they're all solid gold suffering
I really don't like the Fujo teacher/student episodesWhy they get like three whole episodes when that could've gone to someone like Kanshi or Nemu who feel too ignored is beyond me
>>282480834Same. They have more episode focus than Nemu
Goes to show that fujos really do ruin everything
>>282480834I skip all the manga chapters about them desu. I've never cared for their fujoshit ways
>>282480479>>282480525>>282480834>>282481774>>282481930>>282482331Schizo behavior. Also Uron Mirage is one of the funniest running gags in this series. Shinohara nailed exactly what shonen slop is and why fujos eat it up.
>>282483202Shonenslop can be decent even if mediocre. Uron Mirage just didn't try to be funny
>>282483202The gag might work in a manga where you read at your own pace and just make fun of shounenslop as you recall the shit it's making fun of. I assume, I haven't read the manga.In anime form, you're just being forced to watch fujoshit shounenslop so it's just boring.
>>282480834I really like Kanshi. Would've wanted more episodes of his suffering than going through the fujos again
