Man, even by Nico and this anime's standards, the magic used this time was out of this world. It literally made the characters look like something out of a sketchbook.

The shikigami magic was kinda cool though, even impressive. Maybe they can get Nico to work as a shrine maiden again.

Nico shrine maiden omg! The girls looked so pretty helping out at the shrine today. Fun episode with all the segments being funny af.

The Kara and Shiki segment was such an emotional roller coaster because I started off laughing, then I thought Shiki sacrificed itself to save Kara’s hair clip, then started laughing again when he came out the water completely unharmed lmao. Keigo’s apology video for promoting misinformation was also great πŸ˜‚

Nico turning the group into Moi’s drawings was where I lost it though, I thought we agreed not to let her do anything like that again after it backfired several times in the past lmao. Funny episode from start to finish, I love these idiots sm

The Kara and her Shiki part was pretty fun, imagine getting a paper familiar like that ahah. Also the marble part was quite nostalgic because I remember when marbles were the trend at school back then I liked it. Last part was also pretty fun technically they became manga characters in an anime adaptation (poor Kanshi though).

Witch Watch actually almost backed into a funny joke here. If they had Kara's scenes always end with tearjerkers, it would be a really good recurring gag amongst everything else that happened. Of course, they missed that and did something much less funny.

Kara is one of the cutest characters. Rieri voicing her makes it even better. Loved the Shiki and Kara segment. But the one with the marble was so funny lol
Turning into manga drawings was wild.

Kara and her little shiki partner was more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Seeing their time together, through both happy and tense moments, was pretty entertaining. Same goes for the second segment, where Kanshi played a big part in making marbles a big fad with before the popularity of it dropped like a boulder. Because of that, Kanshi, Nico and Keigo made an apology video.

For me, the third segment was the funniest considering how everyone turned into the drawings Morihito did when he was young. Once again, Kanshi made me laugh the most with how ridiculous he looked, but it was nice that they all worked together to not only get back the missing page needed for them to transform back, but they also took down a criminal in the process. Kara was a nice added bonus in this segment with her amusing retorts and reactions. XD

7 minutes of Kara & Shiki is better than 7 episodes of most animes...


That marble plot seemed like crypto/shit coin/NFT scam type deal.
The apology video though😭😭

And last part was pure gold...

For every Shiki magic there are 10 of this from Nico. But damn those paper dudes fight well. Sweet touch with Morihito past..

Papers are strong...

The Kan&Nico Channel being "revived" just to collab with Keigo's for an overly formal apology video over marbles absolutely kills me but bubbler nation is still where it's at.

Another really weird episode.

That damn paper cut out man, it was the stupidest thing I have ever watched. But the marble stuff was even more stupid, theres no way marbles are that good right? To make this episode even stupider, the gang turned into paper, awesome.

They created a marble craze on the Internet on stuff that was basically useless. When I was a kid it was Yoyos, but we didn't even have the Internet at that time, it was a decade away.

Lots of Kara time this EP; she is almost rivaling Nemu as a secondary character.

"Isn't it true though?"

Keigo puts his poser skills to use.

"The Random info king."
I, also.

"Is this one of the safe ones?"
If you need to ask, then ....

I used to collect marbles and I still have them ... I had similar thoughts about the flame thing and you had ones that are crystal clear no bubbles no flame that come in different colors ... those were rare I used to search everywhere to got them

I think I had 2 thousand marbles that disappeared because of my mother and young siblings ... I still have a few and have been thinking of buying more recently

This episode got me hooked I need to by more πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I remember bringing them to school and made it a trend I created BS stories and people started buying trading and even gambling!!! The winner gets the loser's marbles it was crazy until the school banned marbles πŸ˜‚

@UnderwaterRobin Lol, I can literally imagine the studio discussing this with the author and the director saying "now is the perfect time for this chapter, man, I guarantee it."

@Marinate1016 I don't always agree with your comments, but I didn't see anything vulgar in this comment either.

Nico looked super cute as a shrine maiden, same with Kara. The last part of the Shikigami portion with Kara's hairclip was very funny, I think you can see a glimmer rising out of the river which was probably Shiki? I'm not too sure on that.

The marble craze was very funny when Mori joined in on it, and seeing Keigo, Nico, and Kan all in suits apologizing made me laugh a little harder than I thought.

Kan stuck as the woodblock artpiece was the only thing I found hilarious in the last portion, but overall it was a great episode.

Yet another hilarious episode!

First of all, I can't believe they made me feel for a piece of cut out paper... Bravo to the writer!

As for the marbles, I actually laughed out loud when Moi came in super obsessed over them marbles like "WHAT'S HAPPENING IN JAPAN!?" LMAOOO. Keigo with his 'Lapis Lazuli Planet' or whatever πŸ˜‚ And then the classic youtuber apology parody at the end haha.

Kanshi getting the short end of the stick as usual too lol.

I swear, this anime is like an emotional rollercoaster. Usually, shows alternate between dramatic and comedic episodes, but this one manages to blend all the vibes into every single episode, funny, emotional, and epic.

This episode didn’t really have any epic moments, but I absolutely loved the first half with Kara’s talisman. It was hilarious when she first created it, but then it suddenly turned super emotional when Shiki was about to sacrifice himself just to retrieve Kara’s hair clip, haha.

@Briekimchi Her gag has arguably more often been the subversion, her segment with her dad and finding out the mom she cared about wasn't her biological mom was a genuine tear jerker, but uncommon for Witch WAtch in general. Shinohara can do emotional stuff, but these days, subverting tropes is almost more the trend

Ever since Miharu joined the group there have mostly been what feels like shorts, including this episode and last week's. Not sure if this is the calm before the storm or what but if these continue I hope they at least include Nemu which I think they will based on the preview for next week. Having said that the last segment with Morihito and his friends turning into his old manga drawings was pretty funny, especially Kanshi's emotions matching the artwork that he turned into.

Shiki is paper. Manga page is paper. just have Shiki chase after the manga page then catch n retrieve it. ;> super simple solution.

ah well, at least they didn't do the... 'We can't use our powers because that would break the manga's continuity!?!' idea. :D heh! ;)

Shikiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 😭.... Oh wait, he's alive. I really thought he was about to sacrifice himself. I need a Kara and Shiki spin-off! It's amazing how a piece of flying paper can be so expressive and understandable.

Magic will never overcome the power of mass influence through social media. Kanshi and Nico's lie turned marbles into a worldwide phenomenon. And, honestly, I don't blame anyone who fell for it: as a kid, I loved collecting them.... I think I still have some lying around.

It's clear that the third segment was a budget saving maneuver πŸ˜… I have no proof but no doubts either. But I never get tired of seeing how they radically change the animation style, I love it.
