Well, they're not wasting much tmie trying to get Nico to confess to Morihito. Tons of character chemistry this episode from their moments and even the princess carry.

It's still early in the season but she's all over the heels for him lol. It's ok Nico, there's a lot of more character story for her this season left.

Aww another really cute episode. Nico and Moi are both entering their popular phases and they’re both too focused on each other to even realize it 😂 love these idiots sm.

I gotta say Kan is actually the MVP of this series rn. You’d think he would be an airhead because he’s a Tengu familiar with the delinquent aesthetic going on, but dude is extremely emotionally intelligent. No wonder he instantly became a hit in the neighborhood. The “make your hair and his heart flutter” operation might’ve been a failure, but telling Nico how Moi likely couldn’t see her romantically because of his bodyguard responsibilities was great! Now she’ll be more aware of Moi’s mindset and hopefully we’ll get some development.

Also pretty damn funny that hair flutter gimmick just caused Moi to become even more popular with the girls to the dismay of Nico lol

Burst out laughing when all the boys showed up to the lovers’ tree to get love charms and shoot their shots with Nico 😭 she and Moi are like gods at this school I swear.

The flashback to Nico’s dad leaving the family and her destroying the house made me so sad tho. Not her fault she was born a witch and couldn’t control her abilities, then you compound that with your dad not wanting to be around you.. that’s enough to scar any kid. Luckily she had Moi there to support her. It’s no wonder she feels so strongly for him.

Love the ending scene so much! Glad they got their lunch under the lovers’ tree. Very cute episode

Just in case anyone hasn't notice, the last wind that make Nico falls into Morihito was caused by Kanshi's power, not a natural wind.

Anyway, no matter how many pop reference, cultural reference, and parody this anime has, making female protagonist fishing attention from male protagonist means that it's still the old generation of anime.

@Unconnected_

thought the exact same, this episode was nice, but visually it was a little funky, i thought that they may have done that on purpose to fit with the mood of the episode, though i can't say for sure. hopefully next episode will be more in line with the earlier episodes that were really smooth in my opinion.

For those wondering what happened to the animation:
This episode was animated by one person. Yes. ONE PERSON. His name is Ooshima Enishi and he mainly wokrs for White Fox but has helped animate other stuff.
Ooshima Enishi was responsible for this entire episode with him directing, storyboarding, and doing the key animation.
And while the animation style understandably looks completely different than previous episodes, it still looks great in its own way which is an absolutely insane feat. What a madlad

I was worried at first with Kanshi thinking he'd be an annoying love triangle character, but he's best wing man, best boi. People talking about change in animation, but that whole pocket scene was amazing so at least the writing is on point.

@Defalia If you wonder about the different look in this episode, it is because Enishi Oshima was credited as Storyboard/Episode Director/Animation Director as well as for solo Key Animation, so her own style shines through in the episode.

Sunday afternoon Witch Watch is so peak😭❤️

Another outstanding episode. And there goes people complaining with littlest of animation drop smh.

Kan-chan hidden MVP absolutely. He is helping Nico so much. I wouldn't have minded a lover triangle. Seeing how she was treated this time by people lining up for her charms rather confessing I feel bad for her. But Kan-chan best wing man his wind magic is real clutch...

Morihito collecting those papers like Spiderman was really cool. No wonder that got entire girl population of the school wet. The one who confesses also had a shot in OP with same scaneio. Such a minute detail is used so well. Outstanding OP fits outstanding anime.

The pocket scene with Nico's heart was so so beautiful...

A whole episode about love! Nico really trying to get Morihito attention now. She's seeing his popularity among the girls rise so she knows her time could be limited. Enlisting help from Kanshi to get a special moment with Morihito. I like how Kanshi isn't secretly in love with Nico or anything. He's a genuine friend who recognizes her feeling for Morihito and wants to help. The wind plan to blow Nico hair around and make her seem more beautiful was a nice idea but didn't go nearly as planned. The execution wasn't even bad its just gusting wind tends to make long hair look wild and frayed. Nico definitely had a deranged look with her eyes being dried out by the wind. The ultimate backfire since Morihito saving those girls measurement sheets only got him more fans. This school trip provided an excellent place for Nico to try and see how Morihito feels, even if she seemingly had a confession of her own to hear. Which I'm glad that didn't end up happening, she just had a plethora of dudes wanting her love charms like that girl at the beginning of the episode. Nico running from them all leading to her shrinking and falling into Morihito shirt pocket. Hearing the love confession he's receiving. I started to tear up when Nico got all sad about Morihito not loving her, but it was exactly as Kanshi said, he may not love her but he definitely sees Nico as someone precious. Its honestly admirable that he puts his sense of responsibility of protecting Nico above any feelings he may have. The flashback to when Nico fell in love with him was very sweet too and had me crying. Their bond is very precious and sweet. Morihito catching Nico right as she became normal size again sealed it.

Nico's logic of "higher hair-flying intensity = more heart-fluttering power" is so darn cute, even if it made the plan backfire spectacularly in two distinct ways.

And it's funny how Makuwa-sensei feels more at ease letting her inner otaku out now that she has an ally lol

Such a good episode this week.

I loved the amount of chemistry there was this episode. And I loved how there was a whole gang a guys trying to get a love charm from Nico. The flashback to when Nico first fell in love with Moi was heartwarming. That last scene was really sweet as well.

Seriously people? Are you going to criticize one person's job because it looks different from what you're accustomed to? It wasn't bad at all! And the story is as funny as ever anyway.

OHHH, I understand that reference



I wonder...



Come on, Morihito. Look at her!

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).

@Embient I'm even afraid to imagine how many man-hours it took.

@AkeZZZ I understand that the author intentionally made a contextual hint to avoid violating legal rights, but it would be funny if these titles were actually related.

She did look cuter in the breeze, and monstrous in the gale. Moi looked like a chad with the retrieval.

Kanshi is smart with feelings.

"-What's she saying now?"
"Maybe something inspiring?"
"It's not really making sense though."
Jaded teenagers.

Crowd around the lover's tree with arrival signs. LOL. Well anyway, those students are WAY more proactive than most student bodies in anime.

"I heard you can find quintuplets as fiances" LMGDAO, I am slain.

Well they both more some reasonable progress realizing and defining their feelings, Moi needs to become much more in touch with his, and Nico needs learn enough courage to speak a sentence or two.

The episode was absolutely wonderful — I loved it! And I really liked that they announced early on that Niko would marry Moi — everything is sweet and smooth like honey.

I also appreciated that Kanshi wasn’t annoying or interrupting their time together with jealousy and all the usual pointless drama you see in some romance anime… everything was simple and beautiful. Honestly, I hope the cat girl gives in to Niko too, so we can just focus on Niko and Moi as a couple.

I also enjoyed the *Quintessential Quintuplets* reference — “Mori Mori Mori” from Yotsuba’s character, and the boy wishing for a lucky charm to meet five quintuplets! That made me laugh.

We got a mix of aura farming and cuteness all in one episode, haha. I got goosebumps when the music kicked in right as the teacher's papers went flying, then Morihito literally started stunting off the building’s edges, catching every single paper with his eyes closed, and handed them back to the teacher without even looking at them. Bro’s out here literally aura farming.

Morihito aside, Nico was absolutely adorable this episode. But let’s be real, the MVP was Kanshi. He helped Nico with her crush on Morihito, even though he doesn’t even like the guy, haha. I’m glad Nico and Morihito got to eat under the rumored tree, though.

Good thing that it hasn't been long since I watched The Quintessential Quintuplets, as I caught onto that reference made in this episode really quickly!

With that and other cute anime references aside, this was a really fun and heartwarming episode. I did notice a few minutes in that the animation style for this episode was very different to the previous ones, so it did make me wonder why. Thanks to a few users above, this episode was done mainly by one person, Enishi Ooshima. Being in charge of the directing, storyboarding and key animation for this episode alone deserves a lot of respect. The style used won't be for everyone, but I personally enjoyed it as it did make the characters look more expressive with their emotions.

Nico doing her best to try and get Morihito to fall for her was going to be a tough challenge, but it does make me respect Kan a lot more with how much he helped Nico here, even if the attempts didn't always work out. Thankfully, things did play out naturally as both Nico and Morihito ended up eating lunch under the real lover's tree. Also, I think the soundtrack during the last few minutes of this episode was excellent, capturing the mood of both Nico and Morihito together and making the enjoyment feel even better. =)

Really cute episode! I didn't enjoy myself quite as much as eps 4 & 5 but that isn't to say I was disappointed or found it a dip in quality, I appreciated the change of pace. I also didn't mind the different animation, assuming it's a one-time stylistic choice.

Kan really is best boy. I like how ep 3 implied there might be some sort of love triangle but two eps later, here he is being a selfless friend and wingman.

I really love this show <3
