| Sensei being a Kurapika fan is respectful. Loved the anime references (Hunter, AOT, DS, and a few more). |
| This is absolutely hilarious, from the stupid spells of Nico to the endless references. This show is a gold mine of clipable funny moments. |
 |
| Very fun episode :D I love the different references to other series lol the ones I caught were Hunter x Hunter, Saiki K., Demon Slayer, and Attack on Titan (sort of?), I wonder if there were any others. I don't recognize any of the other manga that showed up besides the one that looked like Saiki K. Also love Nico's friends (especially that one girl who told off the delinquents <3) |
 |
| This was definitely better than the first episode, felt more like the series was getting into the groove of things with the comedy there. Was a lot more reminiscent to that SKET Dance feeling, although I most definitely like that cast a lot more than this one with starting off. Kind of feels like a relic of time with the style of comedy this was but this works for me. |
| I suppose you have watched too much anime if you get all the anime references of this episode, which I think I did. I mostly enjoyed the HxH reference though. Since their teacher is an otaku I assume we'll get many more during the next 24 episodes. This anime is quite funny and well-written, and its art, voice work and music are also great. If I chose a single thing to dislike that would be the multiple simultaneous dialogues with top - bottom subs. I hate all anime that do this because it is difficult to follow the story, since you can't read both subs at the same time without pausing... |
 |
| NO WAY, A LOT OF PAI DOS ANIMES REFERENCE |
| Sport Club Corinthians Paulist is the biggest football team in the world. 51 is cachaça |
| Love the constant anxiety Otogi has over everything, and it all ends up being chill in the end, my god do I relate so much to that. What a wonderfully enjoyable show. |
| Enjoyed this episode a bit more than the previous. Some of the reference jokes felt like a bit of a stretch though. I guess they really wanted to take advantage of being a shonen jump. |
| Okay that entire scenes during the students introduction are freaking hilarious. Brimming with multiple references from the get go and seemingly normal teacher but secretly otaku got me lmao. Homeroom teacher better start revealing her hobby since well that class itself is already full of weirdos. I always love Manzai act and it never gets old for me. This season has pretty good selection of comedy shows. I enjoy their dynamic and the zany comedy so hopefully they keep this all the way. |

Wait. The school theme wasn’t in this show? Where’s the genre wth
| @KhoaVN the school really isnt a moderate part of the show, its primarily gonna be alot of odd jobs with people that are high school in age or the characters fucking around at home. |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| More people need to give this anime a shot. This was a riot! Loved the references, loved the wacky ideas that the nerdy guys come up with, the animation is nice, my top anime for this season maybe :D |
| I've been seeing comments of people crying about the animation. Or lack there of? Not everything is a shounen. Man, does everything have to have super fluid animations for you to enjoy them? This episode for me was just great, I had fun with the jokes and the great voice acting. I am dumbfounded why people are looking for flashy animation in a comedy show. |
| this show fuuuun! |
| 🌈 i just want gintama back |
| Very silly and funny show. They keep things very simple which is likeable! |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| These anime references are super fun, love that multiple series got mentioned (usually I see Dragon Ball references) |
| Ater looking more into the character names I see many with funny puns reflecting their characteristics. - Ishi Tsuyoshi - Minami Kara - Isshiki Takashi - Hara Kowashi - Choushi Koiteru - Ureshino Kukumi - Uruse Ena I am likely missing a few of the name puns. |
| Wow, even the cast of side characters is great. I'm hoping we get more Kara! |
| Dragon Ball, Gintama, Demon Slayer, AOT, Hunter x Hunter and several other anime referenced this episode. Love to see an appreciation for these series in a humorous manner. |
| Damn, what a bunch of weirdos! :D Another fun episode! No wonder manga was popular. |
| I read a little of Witch Watch before and actually really liked it, but I left it on hold for a little bit because I was really busy or something and then kinda forgot. I was surprised to see it was going to be an anime as I hadn't really heard anything about that happening. I think both Nico and Morihito (Moi) are cute in their own way. I think Kenta Shinohara does well to find a good balance of elements that appeal to both the shounen and shoujo demographics in Witch Watch. It's pretty refreshing to watch. I think the comedy in it is a cute type of silly-- honestly, I have a feeling he's gotta be dating someone or married to someone because there are so many specific things that seem kinda like he's lived with a woman who's not a relative... and maybe even gets a little input from that person here and there or at the very least gets a lot of ideas from being in their presence. It's a fun story and I'm excited to see it keep going. |
| Nico thinking that she has a chance with Moi, though he definitely thinks indifferently about her as she gets inducted into his school wanting the romance she always wanted with him. But of course, Moi's concern is with her using her witch powers, though their homeroom teacher Yuri Makuwa is quite the otaku herself, which she obliges not to share to the class. And as if the class is any weird enough, all of the students have their own quirks, though Nico's magic sure missed and turned him into Hunter X Hunter's Gon Freecss lols. Nico's magic misfires each and everytime however, Embiggening him, and even herself. No choice, Nico's cover is blown, though letting her spend time with classmates of middle school diner friends Kara Minami and Kukumi Ureshino, they find her relationship with Moi particularly interesting, living with someone who's just her protector and nothing else. With Nico's magic being the interest of the class, everyone is elated, and the class turns into one hell of an Infinity Castle for a moment lols. And since the class just can't forget about her magic, their first recreation session being literally a magic session full of otaku references galore, and even Moi himself being the ogre to protect when a truck suddenly finds itself in magic lore. At least the class is rather positive and unhinged lols. With Aooo's rather good ED, the shenanigans are only starting... |

| This anime is looking like it's going to be my favorite of the season so far that isn't some sort of sequel. The comedy is cracking me up as well as I am really enjoying the side characters too. I also find the fact that people actually knowing the identity of the main characters refreshing as they don't have to spend the entire anime trying to hide the fact they they are not normal humans. |
 |
| Man, I already love Kara. Potential best girl? Also, I just realized this is 2 cours. Pretty cool. |

@Sket-dance where ??
| @CROWgaandmedega 4th manga we see bossun head in the midde, and Himeko blonde hair Only saw 1st part of episode... But there is a guy with Young Toguro glasses (12th minute) maybe a YuYu Hakusho reference? |

| These anime references are so such a cool shoutout to great works in the industry (Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, Hunter,...). Nico is hilarious whenever she has a tehee moment. |
| Inevitable that the magic life spreads out after her commitment last ep. She does want to be the helpful witch in the modern age 😔 but I guess the guy is strong enough to protect. She was so sparkly 👀 she really wants him frfr. She's cute 🙏 Aww Yuri 😔 I'd talk with the teacher about anime. She needs a buddy for that stuff. Adult Gon XD what a legend to reference the goat. I love this teacher XD Meanwhile I am disappointed by the twintail bookworm who chopped off her hair in high school 😔 hair ruined. What a cool moment for the oni guy, defending her and all. She didn't have to knock him down like that 💀 They're having all the fun flying 🙏 nice there were no drawbacks to flying like every other spell. |

| @AcceleratorPT got it... thanks 👍 |
| Nico is shaking up to the best girl this season, as she cracks me up nearly every other scene. Witch Watch has been such a treat to watch, perhaps I will need to check out Sket Dance as well (referenced this episode)! |
| Boy, that's a lot of references |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| All the references man, I was laughing so much throughout this episode. The comedy is so on point, I love this! The sensei is so relatable, That would be me if I was in an anime lolol. 😂 |
 |
| The homeroom teacher knows peak fiction. That Hunter x Hunter reference was pretty good. Kara's impression of Nico and Morihito's relationship cracked me up. I'm surprised this supernatural business got exposed to their classmates so fast! No season long plotline of our MC duo making excuses and trying to hide their mishaps and wiping memories??? All things considered, class 3 is pretty accepting. |
 |
| Yeah so much for keeping the fact that Nico is a witch a secret, but at least most, if not all, of the students accepted her. On that note Morihito's classmates also accepted him when he revealed he's an ogre so I think that the teacher would be ok if she revealed she's an otaku but I doubt she'll ever do that. |
| much better than the first episode, which in itself wasn't bad at all. I love shows like this, and think we need more of them and less cookie cutter stuff. I had at least a handful of audible laughs. |
