Witch Watch

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.

Preliminary (8/26 eps)

Recently binged this on Animyne, and Witch Watch is a fun, if inconsistent, blend of supernatural comedy and lighthearted shonen antics. The series follows Nico, a powerful witch, and her loyal demon bodyguard Keigo as they navigate school life, magical mishaps, and an oddball cast of spirits and monsters. The premise is simple but packed with potential—unfortunately, the execution doesn’t always live up to it.

The show’s biggest strength is its humor and character chemistry. Nico and Keigo’s dynamic is endearing, with plenty of playful bickering and genuine camaraderie. The comedy leans into absurdity, with over-the-top reactions and quirky magical scenarios that often land well. However, ... some gags feel repetitive, and the pacing drags in episodic filler segments that don’t advance the plot or characters much.

Visually, Witch Watch is bright and expressive, though the animation quality fluctuates between lively and noticeably budget-conscious. The supernatural designs are creative, but action scenes lack impact compared to other shonen comedies. The soundtrack is forgettable but serviceable.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (6/26 eps)

This anime was honestly a difficult one for me to write a review on.
On one hand the animation, art style, OST, and (Some) of the humor were all pretty decent. However the further the anime went on I found myself laughing less and skimming some of the scenes that I felt the pacing was dragging on for.
I have a similar take away to what some of the reviews in the 'Not Recommended' reviews have been saying witch is I honestly think there are better anime/ better ways to spend your time then watch this show as the story and pacing, episode to episode ... fell flat for me.
Art/ animation: 8/10.
Story/ pacing: 4/10
world and setting: 6/10
Yoasobi: 10/10

Preliminary (7/26 eps)

If i can be quite frank and honest, this show was just quite unfunny and boring. Maybe the humor just wasn't for me but I found myself kind of forcing myself to watch it. I didn't like it too much but I feel overall it's more than just the comedy that brought it down for me (though that was a big portion of it).

The overall animation of the show is quite good, which I wasn't expecting but was a pleasant surprise. The only episode I felt was wonky was I think 5 or 6 (don't ). Though that was due to a different ... key animator I think. Anyways, animation was good so that was a plus.

Story wise, I got the gist of what it's supposed to be but found it to be quite dragging and boring. I understand it can and probably will go on for a while before the main "plot" really takes any hold but I just couldn't see myself sitting through the show to get to that point. I don't see any merit nor satisfaction for me so I quit :/

Characters were okay i'd say. I didn't feel too strongly either way about them and they were just kinda there i guess. Maybe it's too early for more development but I'd like it a little more if their growth as characters was more visible early on. (But again, this series seems it's designed to go on for long so I see why it wouldn't happen early).

Overall, I didn't care for this series as It doesn't seem compelling for me to watch, and the humor was very dry and bland. Oh well, can't help it :/
