@Skuvan Well....Nemu does get involved a love triangle, but Morihito and Nico's relationships gets complicated enough later, but that won't be until season 2 easily. And the manga only recently gave us hints about why she's so reluctant and wallowing in self doubt, though I'm a few chapters behind
@holdingnothing Oh, we're getting a second season? That's nice. I might read the manga myself later, maybe after the anime ends.

The more this show focuses on anyone but Nico the more ass and boring it becomes.

@kumorikami She does a tsundere and a goth loli, it's rare she does 2 voices in a series that I can remember

Student council lineup is a direct satire of some anime archetypes, pulling inspiration from student councils in series like Utena, skate dance, Code Geass, Tantei gakuen q, Hyouka’s etc

I definitely felt Morihito's annoyance with the student council. But at the same time it was funny how over the top it was too. I can't believe that silliness took up most of the runtime leaving only a few minutes to move the actual plot along.

@kumorikami That is surprising, given she tends to do the opposite kind of voice (Hawk, Ren Aharen, etc). Honestly, the goth loli voice is such that many seiyuu could probably do it pretty well and these characters aren't going to show up a lot anyway, so they may not have done a lot of legwork to pick someone

@RainyEvenings I have to wonder how many different roles they can have. Even for a similar thing in my middle school or high school, we had president, vice president, treasurer, secretary and maybe some kind of officer. Here there's a public relations and general affairs officer respectively and they doubled up on everything except treasurer (Riro) and public affairs officer (Burst). Wonder if he was intending to double up president as well, though he's a third year, so if anything, Morihito would be intended as the president successor

@Skuvan I can't speak on a second season, this one is going to run for 26 episodes, a rarity in the modern era. But if it does really well, it may get another season. Netflix's involvement makes it tricky, since sometimes it can take several years for the process to complete with committees, etc

A colorful student council, the oneesan, the loli twins, the hacker, the muscle head that looks like a FotNS villain, the knife obsessed psycho, mechamaru and Hoshina.
The student council president's is hand is fused to his hand like Jotaro's hat-hair.
And he has to carry the weight for everyone else in the council.

Again and again this show impresses me. I can’t believe I almost wrote it off after those first couple episodes didn’t resonate with me. It’s such a blast from the past, really feels like old school Jump series. Love these characters so much.

Speaking of old school jump series, the tropey student council sequence had me crying man. How the fuck does that dude with the knife and his tongue sticking out even get on a council 😭 the president being unable to move his hand from his hat is insane too, no wonder their grandmother had so much pressure on Suzuka lmao. Even Moi had to sympathise with him for putting up with such an insane cast every day

And in typical jump fashion, the student council will keep trying to get Moi to join lol. I refuse to believe the PR dude and Ibara are high school students tho

Nemu’s back!! Her sequence was silly, poor thing needs to just approach the gang in her human form and ask to be friends at this point. Lost it when she somehow slipped out of the house while they were watching tv and laughing 😂 didn’t expect her segment to lead into something so serious though! The plot’s finally starting to advance now that the warlock is after Nico! Can’t wait for next episode

Same lol, at start this show was not matching the vibe but it started to improve a lot

@holdingnothing it depends on the number of students a school have, countryside would have less members and Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka schools can have many members of the student council.

@RainyEvenings It's weirder that the doubled them up, but yeah, it makes sense they'd split things up, I swear Asunaro's a combined middle and high school, but I might be mixing that up with another series

@holdingnothing Yeah, I was pretty surprised when I found out it was going to be 26 episodes, that almost never happens these days, so it was really nice to hear. As for Netflix, yeah, I’m aware of how slowly they wrap up their projects because of their packed schedules.

@Skuvan Sometimes they'll just end series abruptly, like Dead Boy Detectives, a spin off from the Sandman live action series, which is also going to end with the next season, DBD only got 1.

Blood of Zeus, a personal favorite of Netflix "anime", managed to get 3, but the last one really had to chop out a lot from what was planned as 5 total at least

I think I'm finally gonna drop this. I want to watch the two main characters interact but instead every episode introduces another annoying character and this one has like 10 of them. This really feels like Urusei Yatsura the way it's a romcom but with a 1/99 split between romance and comedy, and then the comedy parts never land. I could skip through every episode trying to see if there's any good parts in it but really, why bother? I even spoiled myself a little on what happens later and it sounds like it's just going to get worse and worse.

@Dzentelmen2 It does pivot significantly sometimes, I think the characters and comedy are what keeps people reading versus anything resembling the overall plot. Shun Numa of Samon the Summoner and recently Super Psychic Policeman Chojo has had bad luck because I think he can't grab enough people with the characters or humor, the latter series just ended recently, Samon the Summoner got to 80+ chapters

@RobertBobert I think so, I only learned it this year, but it's hard to find details. Yabuki is his brother in law and if Yabuki only has a sister, then yeah. Also means he's the uncle of Yabuki's daughter, which was a whole other thing with Yabuki's ex wife and he remarried later.

Seems like it was announced 6 years ago by either Yabuki or Shinohara.

@holdingnothing It's kind of funny when you think about it, since their styles as shonen authors are more or less opposites of each other. Yabuki draws typical censor bait ecchi, while Shinohara is a classic nakama shonen author. However, I write this when Naoko Takeuchi, the queen of shoujo, is married to the author of one of the most legendary battle shonen manga, Yoshihiro Togashi.

LMAOOOO I’ve been waiting for this when I first read it in the manga but this episode had me laughing my ass off so much man it’s not a lot whenever an anime can make me burst out laughing hahaha but these Student Council members were FRYING TF outta me man especially when the president came and wouldn’t take his hand off and then we got the Jotaro hat explanation as to why he can’t take it off this shit is rivalling Gintama in terms of comedic value😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭

Yo when the president first appeared and I heard his voice I was like “IS THAT MATSUOKA??? THE NIGGA THAT VOICES YUKIHIRA SOMA???” Immediately when I heard bros voice, he’s such the perfect person to voice the president man and he did a great job at yelling Kamekameha😭🔥

The student council introduction video was so funny man Kan yelling at every absurd thing that the members doing but the funniest shit to me was the fact that the video gave us the presidents flashback like where did they the budget to even make that?😭🤣

Nemu is so stupidly cute man why does she keep doing this to herself? Like she can easily not go to Moi’s house but she went and she even got dressed up too like girl stop it you have gained a liking to getting TOUCHED by Moi🤣

We finally got the reveal of our main antagonist for the season and if you read the manga then you know who that nigga was sitting on the chair in that house Nemu walked into👀👀👀

(Ignore my simping for lolis bc I love them so much) Kuromitsu and Syrup are EVERYTHING to me they’re so fucking cunny, gotta be the cutest lolis of this season man😫💢😫💢😫💢

They looked so smol when they were standing up🥺

Who is this Ibara Ibo? She showed up to dazzle us with her beauty—I mean, her magic...

She reminds me of the character Kobayashi from the anime Ranma! Don’t you think so too?

What’s up with this terrifying student council? LOL

Oh my God, are these characters all references from other anime? The moment I saw Barst, I realized it was full of references!

Did I pick the wrong anime? Am I watching Witch Watch or what?

There were so many references in this episode—even in the preview for the next one!

Miyao, Nemu was such a kind person—she went to warn Neko.

Anyway, this episode didn’t introduce any new magic!

I remember Gintama’s references being more sarcastic and comedic, whereas WitchWatch’s references feel more respectful, like they’re paying homage to other anime with love.

@XArceusX Well, the entire school council is basically a collection of ridiculously obvious anime and manga archetypes. Take the tsundere loli voiced by Rie. Even at the VA selection level, they're ridiculously trope-ish.

For starters, the trope-tacular student council was hilarious too me for some weird reason. It's moments like these, when this show explores the wacky side characters that I find the best personally and most funny.

Then we got to see Nemu again which is always a blessing, however it seems she will have a bigger role to play in this upcoming arc as the Warlock makes an appearance!

Nico and Moi getting targeted by the Student Council's vice-president Ibara Ibu, at least for the former to ban her magic in school. But something about her feels tropey...

The trope-tacular Student Council being seen by Moi as generic, and its members are just as described: characters who are just tropes and nothing more...except for one person: Tenryu Kiyomiya, Suzuka's older brother...who's just as eccentric as the rest. It's the circumstances of a guilt trip, though Moi doesn't buy their arguments and all. A close inspection of them, with the Star Wars opening and all from the Student Council's introduction video and discussing about school issues that take up the burden on the President himself, he's just like Moi "for real for real", and at least there's some semblance between the two.

Nemu makes her return trying to approach to Moi's place, though transforming into the cat again for him to allow entrance, the manzai comedy skit from Sket Dandy (which this reference should be very obvious enough) sure keeps the jovial mood of the house alive. That is, until a drink falls on her to get quite the bath from Moi...a sensual one if gone wrong. And once again, Nemu manages to escape scot-free, free of her anxiety...of getting lost?

The warlock hiding in the shadows, ready to capture the witch, the Prophecy hits the first mark...

@AboAhmed130 Yah, WitchWatch on that departement is more "polished". Still, Gintama vastly gets better as it goes on.
