Witch Watch Episode 12 Discussion

A wolf, witch, ogre and tengu living under one roof now. This’ll be fun lol. That was an awesome end to the cour wow. Very strong finish after I started kinda meh on this series. I really like it a lot now, the cast are loveable and idk there’s just a really strong family vibe in this show that resonates with me. They might fight like cats and dogs, but at the end of the day, they all have each other’s backs.

The enchanter arc actually ended a lot smoother than I anticipated too. They did a great job of hiding how small she was lmao, did not see that coming. Keigo vs Moi was really the only difficult thing and that was just because Moi didn’t want to hurt him too bad. Got the healing potion, beat the enchanter and knocked out wolf peacefully, only thing we didn’t get was the big bad’s name.

I got a little emotional seeing Keigo’s mom get healed. I’m never gonna fault anyone for choosing their mom over some people they just met. He just wanted to heal her and in the end it worked out well, so he’s good in my book. Plus, now he’s gonna be living with the gang and getting even closer. Second cour should be awesome I can’t wait!

Also Nico is such a hero for using her own panacea to help Keigo’s mom. She might act slow, but she’s such a selfless kind person

Wait, does that old witch die for real? Because that'd be the first on-screen death of this anime, a death toll is something I'm not appreciate.

With that said, what I appreciate is that this anime will have a second cour. I always watch this under the impression that it only has one cour and I've to wait months or years for the sequel.

Keigo joining the team officially now. I always welcome a character that has knot like him.

Well the Enchanter was a bit of a let down of a fight...thought her and Nico would have a magic battle off. However, how this episode played out made more logical sense within this world of Witches and Warlocks and a huge magic battle wouldn't feel right.

Yet, we still got treated to a great battle between Morihito and Kegio. Then in the end Kegio was able to accomplish his goal with the help of Nico and his friends allowing his mom to walk again which was lovely.

Now that Kegio has moved in it seems like we will return to the more slapstick comedy of this show for a while, before the next big bad appears for Nico!

The battle against the Enchanter went quicker than I expected it to be, which I do applaud Nico and Kanshi's teamwork for being very effective. I also didn't expect the Enchanter herself to be really small, but that was the price she paid for the powers that she has be given.

Morihito and Keigo's battle was a pretty tense one at that. Both were pretty even, but Morihitio's cool-headed plan to lure and bait Keigo with his attacks won him the match. Later on, we get to see Keigo's mother and learnt that she was the one who was seriously injured in that car crash, leaving her wheelchair bound, which was one of a few reasons as to why Keigo paused his figure skating career. Thanks to Nico's powers, Keigo's mother was given a new lease of life for her legs, helping her to walk again, which made for a pretty emotional scene.

I do prefer the slapstick side of this series more, but these last few episodes did a solid job in terms of taking the story in a more serious direction. Who knows when the story will get more serious again and I do look forward to watching that when it happens, but I'm happy that the preview of the next episode looks to be fully focused on the comedy side. =)

soo the main enemy is... muzan apparently? no one even dares to call his name?

Fun episode. So the werewolf joins the crew now! Truly haunted house lol. Let's not forget shapeshifting cat Nemu too.

uuhhh it's happy n all but that is some bad writing. morihito is weaker than keigo and didn't live up to the expectations was a disappointment, childish forgiving act. at least dude will sacrifice himself if needed now.

This anime got me emotive with Nico healing Keigo's mom, him crying in her arms from happiness was heartwarming :')
And now Keigo joins the house, I hope Nemu is the next to start living with them lol

"... lock at the fine print on the contract."
Wise

"The rule say that agter guys fight each other, we're supposed to wash each other's backs in a bathhouse."
I am suspicious of whoever promulgated that rule.

"I guess having a monster in the family makes it easier to accept this stuff."
Depends on the monster.


Now they need A Ninja and an Assassin.

Wolf putting moves on Neko Witch in the previews.

This show continues to be full of surprises, with one of them being that Keigo was doing this not for himself but for his mother, wow. Another surprise was the fact that he's now moving in with Morihito and the rest of the gang! At this point it feels that Nico will have 24/7 protection with 3 guys around. On that note it's too bad that Nemu won't join Nico (at least at this point there's no indication she will move in) as I really like her and this scene she was in made me laugh out loud (this was her reaction to seeing Nico and Morihito hug):

2nd course PV and stuff out:
https://myanimelist.net/news/72908076
New vampire boy character and another new with no info beyond name, Rui Fujiki; bikinis on the beach episode; looks like Nemu gets more screen time; Keigo must beware of crescent rolls; ... and a kisu on the cheek for Nico.

im so glad Nemu is getting more time. she is one of my favorites. 11/10 episode

@WaterMage You first.

@wenzdae-kun Shinohara doesn't use her a lot overall, though she will show up when her particular magic is relevant and in the big climactic plots like here. Same with other ladies introduced, it's kind of a weird trait that besides Nico, there's only one female I can think of that really gets development and that's because she's tied to Nico (and it's not her mom, btw)

@holdingnothing I see. Appreciate that little bit of info. Just means I'll enjoy Nemu's appearances more XD I haven't paid attention to any other female characters besides Nico (and that weird student council), so I'm curious to see this other character

Wow was not expecting the Keigo vs Moi fight scenes to be looking this smooth, but I guess this is a shounen manga after all. Glad we find out the reason for Keigo doing everything and that it was for the sake of his mom who he feels guilty about the accident that led to her being paralyzed. Nico saving Keigo's mother was heartwarming to see.

@ultramb How is he weaker when he wins in the end? Pure strength isn't the best way to win, it's just the easiest from a novice's standpoint. And while, sure, he used the opening from Nico's spell to land the hit, doesn't mean he couldn't have beaten him otherwise by finding some kind of vulnerability, especially when we heard from the enchanter that ogre are more known for toughness than power, he could've taken a blow, then pinned Wolf and judo slammed him or such.

The series isn't as much about fighting anyway, so overanalyzing is kind of pointless for us to do. Wolf gets more development, Morihito's fighting capacity expands as well, he has a whole training sequence that's half comedy and half serious

@holdingnothing I see. Appreciate that little bit of info. Just means I'll enjoy Nemu's appearances more XD I haven't paid attention to any other female characters besides Nico (and that weird student council), so I'm curious to see this other character

@holdingnothing winning is a one thing. i said he's weaker than keigo in that scene. he was struggling a lot and stood that long only becuase of his ogre toughness. sure, keigo would get tiered and loose if nico and friends didn't arrive. but that was disappointing to me cause keigo was overpowering him.
and of course he'll get a powerup in the future cause he's like the 2nd MC.

Alguém morrer em um anime bobinho como esse? Inesperado....

Eu não esperava que aquela bruxa fosse morrer, e principalmente depois de mostrar a backstory dela, que doido
