    Witch Watch (TV)



    Genre: Comedy, Supernatural.

    Plot:
    Nico Wakatsuki has finished her six years of witch training and is moving back to town by herself. As a new witch, she must choose a familiar to accompany her. However, unlike the other witches, she wishes to pick a non-animal familiar. There's no better companion than Morihito "Moi" Otogi—her childhood friend who happens to be an ogre. Morihito is vehemently opposed to being her servant, but he reluctantly accepts his fate after learning that a curse would revert him into a strange cow-tiger hybrid were he to disobey a witch's order.

    Due to Morihito's father leaving for a business trip and Nico's mother remaining behind in the Witches' Holy Land, the two teens find themselves living together under the same roof. While Nico is ecstatic to be living with her crush, Morihito finds that her magical antics and overall clumsiness create more problems than solutions. With a prophesied disaster to befall Nico within the year, Morihito must do everything he can to protect her as her bodyguard while also upholding his duties as her familiar. -MAL

    This is fun.

    Nori was slightly too stupid for me initially but it's okay now. All the other characters have been enjoyable. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Nemu the most at the point.

    The art fits the story.

    One of the mangas that I really enjoy. In fact, I went and read the two previous work by the mangaka (see below).

    the story is intresting, it moves enough to not be stale, even when it's focused on complete random stuff. there's a lot of episodic story-telling, some are for me, some are less. which is part of the charm.

    Ad Astra - nice mystery, easy.
    Skey Dan - harder to read since it's older and the scans aren't as good, and there's no story to pull you in, but it has the same charm as Witch Watch with the colorful characters and touching situations. a lot of which are refined in WW.

    sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
    Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    The tea ceremony ended up being hilarious.

    Didn't expect the "Oh Koto-wari" pun.

    weird. I understand that they need to pull in some stories from later episode in order for the plot event to coincide with the season finale, but it's weird they put the slow phone joke BEFORE the story that it relates to.

    but still, Ottoman is a great joke.

    Yeah, Nemu was cute.

    The "eyes closed" guy trope was spot on, and towards the end they just started taking the piss with the crappier tropes which was also on point. I was getting worried a little when they said that no magic was to be used in school since that would be a shit idea.
