You do you, just saying that swooning over a character like that sounds pretty sus ngl.

You’re projecting hard holy shit. I said 3 words and not a single one had any sexual or inappropriate connotation. Shrine maiden is a job. What could you even interpret there? Let’s check those hard drives because clearly you have something on your conscience. Idek why tf you mentioned me, an infamous anti.

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?"

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˜‚

That marble segment reminds me of a...certain toy...with teeth and fur....along with 24k gold...could be my imagination though...
@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.

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.
@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.

The segment with the marbles reminds me of this sket dance episode about Bossun and the gang collecting capsule toys lol



A funny joke once in a while. Oh and Moi's old drawing reminds me of Saotome Roman's.

Kara is so cute, I like her since the moment she was introduced ❀️

They really did make an apology video? Holy shit, this is peak modern comedy 🀣 I fucking love this show.
And I love marbles too, I had so much fun playing with them when I was a child in school, I wish one day they would come back...

Episode 18 was really funny and entertaining. There were 3 parts, each with its own uniqueness.

Part 1 was about the paper that Kara wanted to fold into a bird, but it ended up turning into a Shikigami instead—and the paper came to life. Haha!
Based on Morihito’s hypothesis and from the opening song, it seems like the Shikigami won’t just appear in this episode and disappear. Kara and the Shikigami might become more involved with Nico, Morihito, and the others.

Part 2 showed how hoaxes can spread on social media. Damn, a lie about marbles went viral across the whole country. πŸ˜‚

Part 3 was the most unique—yet another failed spell by Niko. She meant to bring them into the manga Morihito made when he was a kid, but instead, it just turned them into 2D drawings, exactly like the ones Morihito drew back then.

In my opinion, with such great opening and ending songs and visuals (both part 1 and part 2), this anime also delivers solid comedy with unique moments in every episode. The animation is pretty decent too.
Witch Watch deserves a rating of 8.0 to 8.5.

This one was pretty off the wall and I loved it. The thing with Kara (who is adorable) was pretty cute, even if it was cheesy - it was some good tasty cheese. The "Marbs" thing had me laughing too. When they were whipping out all this random information about "Marbs" and how it snowballed - ridiculous but ...sorta like how it happens in real life. Bunch of marble conspiracy theorists.

...that said, marbles are kind of cool, because they look nice. Only problem with them is that they're round, so they make a mess. Still - a jar of colorful marbles makes a good little decoration to put around your house somewhere. They're pretty. I loved them when I was a kid.

..and in the last part "is this one of the safe ones" - totally ignored, haha. Just cast the spell.

Kara is easily one of the most endearing characters.

A sort of slow burner, but this show never fails to give good slice of life once again. More Kara screentime is always a win and i was afraid losing that hairpin would have had a really serious price to pay, glad it didn't happen. The marbles part didn't start strong but had a hysterical ending with the apology video in business suits like it was a fake Gintama final episode. What can i even tell about the final part... They have all become Manga characters made by a child (cool backstory detail added meanwhile) with high pitched voices, actually do by accident what they were supposed to do into the plot, and Kara returning for more shocked funny reactions... Yeah, satisfied like usual.

How the hell did they create "life" with a piece of paper? That power is too OP. Anyway, loved that Kara segment. The shrine maidens were very cute. Fuck the tourists who say otherwise.

LMFAO the 2nd part had me dying. XD Kanshi unintentionally created a fad and ended up making a YouTube apology for it. This was probably the best YouTube-related joke I've seen in any anime. The author really knows how to write comedy without making it weird like some other anime.

The last part was cute too. Those poorly drawn characters were great. Funny how Morihito used to draw manga. He should ask for some help from Kuku.

RieRi's performance as Kara continues to impress me. She's so good. Also, did they casually introduce a new character in the 2nd part? Wonder what her deal is. Other than being a YouTuber of course. I really got used to the 2nd OP now. It's so catchy. The next episode will only have one story. That's exciting.
