Let's be real, there's no way they can live normally forever. I mean, Nico is a witch although that prophecy sounds fishy.

This episode was wild though. From the multiple Nicos to fighting someone with a dog mask, Moi's life is anything but normal. The way Kazamatsuri made his character appearance this episode made my eyes roll.

To be honest, I’m impressed by Nico’s imagination—thinking Morihito is after her or in love with her and that he’ll confess to her.

It’s funny how she started kissing the air, thinking Morihito wanted to kiss her. And she looks so adorable after splitting up, but if her IQ also halves—especially when she already has limited to begin with—now that’s a problem.

Just in case you don't know. The OP is artistic choice, not a mistake. But I don't believe there are any people who think it's a mistake.

That unfinished opening is rad! Makes me think just how difficult and amazing anime is.

Damn I really like Fukushima Jun as Kan's voice actor, but let's see how fitting this new voice is.

The Doublit mini Nicos only getting to use a fraction of the og's braincells killed me lol

I knew oni were resilient but it's sick how Moi's flesh is strong enough for him to just kinda shrug off a bite from a dog that big. Dude's a tank.

Okay, a new club member of the Nico Protection Club, Kanshi Kazamatsuri; Nico's Crow Familiar. You three gonna live at one base now? Two boys & a girl? An ogre, a witch, & a crow? Yo, i don't even know what's going on anymore, but the crow's entrance was cool. Glad it was not anything related to the disaster whatsoever, nevertheless, Ibuki's magic glyph sure is convenient, for when anything occurs that has a chance of harming Nico physically, Morihito just has to look onto the papered glyph.

From then onwards, Morihito just checks out if the situation was actually the tragedy, or was not at all. All of that aside, Nico's Netero impression was seriously hilarious as heck, i burst out laughing when she joined her palms together, just to hide her nude backside. Still remember that Gon Freecss from episode one, haha, especially with the teacher's comment: "did we have a Gon Freecss enrolled?", funny af man, i swear. To conclude this, loved the episode, real excited for the upcoming ones!

Nico showing up and messed up the OP was so awesome..

The animators and direction really had fun with it. This studio really excels in this stuff first Hyakkano now this. If it keeps up like this it will certainly reach highs of former one.

And damn this girl is horny and down bad. Morihito keeps up the gag very well. With his indifference and quips.

Multiplying magic stunt was very entertaining but as always useless.

But cute af..

There's Ogre and witch so why not Tengu. Kan is the final mc I think. Nice actions. Moi chan stonk.

I think its a fairly fitting voice but I always kind of read Kan in a slightly annoying inflection

Really good episode

The opening was really cool, I really liked it. I thought it was unfinished at first and then I realized it was intentional. Kan seems pretty chill, not gonna lie. The fight with Moi was nice. The part where Nico was splitting herself was so stupid. Her IQ gets halved each time but her IQ is already in the negatives so their all stupid.

Another funny episode. Next week gonna be as dumb as this.

Fairs, last two episodes have been great and this one was genuinely hilarious. Nico’s translucent clothes debacle was funny, but I lost it when she split herself into four copies and still only did the work of one person 😭 actually laughed out loud which is rare for a shonen anime. She’s so damn slow

We gotta get Moi to start being more aware of Nico though because this guy is so dense and Nico’s just gonna keep doing crazier stuff to get him to notice. Like it took you until she starts wearing see thru stuff to compliment her clothes! Who would’ve thought he was somewhat of a clothes nerd and really into European fashion tho.

Double-it spell might sound efficient, but it’s not. You’re just taking what you have and breaking it down in half and Nico don’t have enough intelligence to be halving anything lmaoo.

Curious how things will go with the prophecy and now that Kan’s here! Also, the wonpre references were so cool lol didn’t expect to see a Komugi reference in a show like this

episode 5/5

Wow, this anime is being incredible, each episode is winning me over more and more. I like Nico, she is very charismatic, and also sometimes has unusual ideas, so you can expect anything from her, first in this episode we had the dress, and then she multiplied herself lol

The choice of opting for an opening in this episode with only animation lines and no colors was incredible, it shows how difficult it is to create animation in anime.

At the end we still had the appearance of a tengu and many coincidences happening in this episode, but after all, will Nico's mother's prediction come true?

Who knew that Morihito would be so into early twentieth century European fashion. So much so that he instantly knows the era and style simple by looking at whay Nico has on. Nico herself trying to be more fashionable and modern in her style. Its always funny seeing which drawbacks are in each spell she uses. This time since she can't see the back of the outfits in the magazines her spell makes the backs see through. Which is hilarious to see as Nico tries crab walking through the living room trying to hide her literal backside. Only to run out of the room like normal revealing her see through to Morihito. But he did reassure her that the normal outfits she wears are cute, and they are so he's right. Nico mom sending them her manga collection and a mysterious letter to Morihito. The manga Nico has were some more great references, I love every time the series does that. The letter however was much more ominous, telling Morihito about the doom coming for Nico. Something involving rain and dogs. Nico using that split spell to try and make moving the boxes easier made me laugh so much. Morihito is literally me in that scenario, splitting yourself up but still only doing one persons worth of work so pointless but hilarious at the same time. Morihito now on the lookout for anything on a rainy day can sense that tengu boy following them. Another instance of Morihito being super relatable because Nico just saying the dude's name over and over didn't explain anything. Still a stranger! But maybe he can help keep her save from this impending disaster

What the hell is Morihito thinking? the gentlemenly thing to do is to help her move those boxes, but he made her do it herself, although multi small Nico is pretty cute

I wonder if anyone knew about Kan, a Tengu. Is he destine to protect Nico too? then why her mom asked Mirihito to protect her instead?

The spells were pretty fun in this episode too, the outfits with only one side of the clothes and also the power to multiply yourself to do more tasks but you're just two smaller versions of yourself so it doesn't change anything xD Also this Kan guy at the end is gonna be interesting I guess?

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

It took me a few seconds to realise it, but I do like how they went down the artistic route for the OP, with Nico messing up things and showing what the storyboards look like for the OP animation itself. You can tell that the production staff are having fun with this series. =)

As for the episode itself, Nico continues in being a clumsy goofball that I can't help but smile at. Trying to copy a pretty outfit in a magazine, which only covered her front, but not her back made for some funny moments when she tried to prevent herself from flashing her underwear from her see-through clothing at Morihito, which sort of failed. Later on, seeing her split herself into multiple Nicos, albeit loli versions, in order to carry the boxes into the house more efficiently was a failure, but she was so damn cute doing it, she easily succeeded in making me like her more.

We also got our first look at Kan, who is a Tengu and is also tasked in protecting Nico. I can see things becoming more chaotic with him around, but that means more funny moments, so I'm all for it!

At 9:23 we can see the globe of the world and I have so many questions.

Episode 2 made it clear that they are in Japan (shocking, I know) and episode 3 France is mentioned and assumption is that they are living on present day Earth.

That was what I was thinking until I saw the globe.

Is that suppose to be North and South America and Atlantic ocean? It looks nothing alike.

This show is set on Earth and not some fantasy Earth-like planet, right?

Nico is so cute, she’s very lucky to have Morihito protecting her anytime.
Kanshi was interesting too, “he’s just testing Moi’s skills”. Okay, I was not expecting that, but he doesn’t seem a bad guy.

It’s interesting how Nico’s mother, Ibuki, asked Moi-kun to take care of Nico. I’m sure he will do his best.

Nico's clumsiness got to the point of ruining the opening. I love it, I hope there will be more variations like this!

Another fun episode. As if one Nico wasn't enough, now we have four, and their total lack of logic is driving Moi crazy. The dog owner deserved that scare: he apologized as if his dog had licked someone or jumped up to play, when in fact he almost killed Nico in his chibi form. What an irresponsible owner.

Another family member? So Moi won't be the only one who has to protect Nico now. Honestly, with the amount of trouble he causes, they'll probably need more than one protector. I just hope that as far as romance goes, it stays between Moi and Nico.
