Witch Watch

In ancient times, some witches married their familiars, who had taken human form, giving birth to a lineage of ogres. One such ogre is Morihito Otogi, who while appearing completely human, still retains the inhuman strength of his bloodline. Nico Wakatsuki is a young witch and Morihito's childhood friend, but as part of her education, she had to go to the Witches' Holy Land to train and part ways with Morihito.

Years later, just before Morihito's first year of high school, Nico returns home with one goal in mind: to claim him as her familiar. While most witches choose a cat or a bat, Nico has her heart set on Morihito in more ways than one. Although seemingly oblivious to her true feelings, Morihito and Nico end up living together under the same roof with both of Morihito's parents elsewhere. While reluctant at first, Morihito accepts his new role, determined to help Nico seamlessly fit back in with human society and protect her from fated disaster.

Story development is decent in the first half, but goes slow in the second half where it shows more comedy. In the slice of life comedic theme, there are heart touching moments that actually made me cry. Style is similar to classic 2000s anime such as doraemon. which brings the cute comedic style of the anime. The comedy is certainly not for everyone, some of it even feels forced, and its even harder to understand if one watches this without knowing at least some japanese culture and language which is essential for the joke to go through.

An enjoyable comedic watch with some unexpectedly highly emotional ... moments.

Mixed Feelings

*No spoilers*

Summary
Witch Watch follows Nico, a young witch, and Morihito, her “familiar,” as they build a team of peers with other magical abilities. Season 1 has a fairly straight forward plot at the start, but the second half feels like a filler season. Overall, the story is bland, the characters are generic, and the comedy is not funny. The show isn't horrible, but it's also not particularly good.

Story: 4/10
Nico and Morihito are childhood friends, and Morihito is selected, as a teenager, to be Nico’s
Familiar.” This is kind of like being a protector or body guard for her as she gains experience with magic. Along ... the way, there is some comedy, but minimal growth in the characters. The first half of this season has clear goals and a few themes to explore, although these are completely ignored halfway through the season. In fact, Witch Watch attempts to introduce a fake anime into this anime, which makes no sense and is extremely absurd. Just when the plot becomes intriguing, the season splits each episode up into a pointless filler that is neither funny nor meaningful. Overall, the story is uninteresting and pointless. If it stuck to the main plot instead of diverging into filler nonsense, then it might be redeemable, but it instead throws useless episodes in for no reason.

Characters: 4/10
This part is easy to review. The characters are bland, predictable, and static. They don’t face long-term repercussions or learn,especially in the second half of the story. Sometimes, an episode spends more time introducing new, unrelated characters, which is foolish. Although the show is supposed to be a comedy, the episodes are not funny after the first half, and the characters seem extra clueless and forced.

Art: 6/10
The art is sufficient.

Sound: 5/10
The music is sufficient.

Enjoyment: 4/10
I enjoyed the first half of this season, for the most part. The second part was a huge waste of time. Overall, this show was a letdown.

Total score: 4.6/10

bro listen… Witch Watch got less rizz than a baby gronk trying to rizz up livvy dunne with a juice box 💀 the story ain’t unique at all — just your basic “witch messes up spells, ogre cleans up the mess” loop on repeat. predictable from episode one, like you could skibidi toilet your way through it blindfolded and still know what happens next. not even the goofy humour could save it, cuh.

the art style tries to be cute and light, but it ends up looking like a half-finished ohio doodle. sure, it’s bright, but it doesn’t fit the tone — when things are supposed ... to feel magical or serious, it still looks like a saturday morning cartoon that forgot the shading.

the characters? oh bruv, they got no depth. Nico’s just “clumsy witch with too much energy” and Morihito’s “grumpy protector with zero drip.” they ain’t balanced, they ain’t sigma, they just walk through the same jokes over and over. even when wild stuff happens, their reactions feel so fake — like, no real human (or ogre) acts that calm after being turned into a frog mid-breakfast 🐸

and cuh, maybe some folks will enjoy it — like lil skibidi watchers who want light, easy laughs or fans who love cute, basic slice-of-life anime. but anyone looking for real story depth, emotion, or that alpha-level character growth? nah, they’ll dip after two episodes.

final verdict: 2/10 — weak gyatt, zero rizz, only in ohio-tier storytelling. art mid, jokes dry, characters built like AI-generated NPCs. should’ve stayed in the cauldron, cuh. 🪄💀
