Episode 10 – Witch Watch

If you can rely on one thing to rely on high school anime comedy, it is that there will always be a ridiculous student committee. Regardless of time or time Witch watch This is no exception. At least that’s what I should say, but as you might expect from this show, Witch watch Never do anything. The episode puts its own spin on the mandatory student union, and while it is certainly fun, it also leads to a joke that threatens to wear it to welcome.

Although Nico is popular among classmates for helping them solve problems, some people in the school are not happy with it. The most important of these is the Student Union, who tries to claim that Nico’s magic might be dangerous and hopes she stops using it at school. When Morihito tries to protest the injustice, he quickly finds himself distracted by the strange anime sex that forms the student union. This includes the vice president, who dresses like an exposer and throws roses everywhere (although I do have to deduct some points here because she doesn’t give her ojou-sama laughs), her vice president always sounds like he’s going to have his eyes closed and always keeps his eyes closed, and the secretary is a pair of Lolita Twins’ secretary and the boy is the boy, they stand out. My personal favorite thing is one of the people in charge of General Affairs, who is just a mad Max Goon who loves to lick the knife, because if there is someone who can rely on someone to help keep everything organized, it is this one. Their President Tenryu blocked all sorts of weird facts, except that he walked around in his military uniform and stuck in a cool sci-fi anime pose forever, with the captain dragging his hat. When putting pressure on this, others claim it is the phenomenon behind Jotaro Kujo’s hat, blending it into his hair and hilarious about references because they don’t even bother trying to cover up their faces (sometimes corporate brand synergy can all be a good force). For those who are stuck forever, those who play a quirky group of personalities, these are Morihito’s worst nightmare.

As interesting as this part, it feels like a situation where too many jokes are thrown at the audience. Apart from the Vice President of the Showman, we don’t have enough time to completely digest the metaphors of these characters until Morihito points out how weird the next character is. It feels more like they want to be random than using the usual laser performance comedy of the show. I do laugh at most of these characters, so I can say the least, despite this hook, it’s still fun, but it’s the closest sense of humor the show is to be, it’s exhausting and I hope Punchlines improves.

It would also be much easier to give all this through if it weren’t for the second part of this episode repeating the same joke. This time it was in the form of a promotional ad in Morihito, and while we did have some ridicule about how it came together, most jokes still centered on Morihito, pointing out the weirdness of the council members (although I laughed at Mad Max’s Max Guy because he was accidentally licking his own knife because he kept licking the knife). The only major difference here is that Morihito has an inexplicable feeling about his kinship with Tenryu, which is only for him when he realizes that Tenryu is the only member of the Council doing any work and realizes that it is too similar to his relationship with his roommate. This empathy is still not enough to convince Morihito to succumb to Tenryu’s demands. Still, this makes it easier for Morihito tolerate him and hopes that a new understanding will be reflected in the show, with jokes about Prez being more diverse the next time he appears.

At least the last part of this episode manages to break things a little bit, as we can recheck with the local failed witch Nemu who is still following Morihito. Since she didn’t have the courage to talk to him, she defaulted to returning to concealing her cat and found herself being taken to her home and was once again spoiled. This time, Nico accidentally sprinkled some juice on her, and Morito had no choice but to bathe Nemu, a prospect that brings danger to her and the audience. Fortunately, the show once again managed to weave the situation cleverly, by making her point of view like a spa, she could offer it, which she found was so relaxed that she was just narrowly avoiding being caught when she broke the transformation spell.

I complained about repeating the same joke in the first two sections, which may sound hypocritical, but my playback is more or less similar to Nemu’s first appearance, and although I won’t deny that, there are some key differences here. First, there is a nice gap between Nemu’s appearance, and it’s easy to be tolerant of such repetitions when it comes to jokes. Second, it’s just a more interesting gag, and this part of this episode revolves around this bizarre joke, which makes it easier to land efficiently than how students would revolve around a bunch of ideas at once. I like Witch watchIt tends to swing the fence with the jokes it provides, but taking the time to try gag and quickly pulling out a bunch of ridiculous concepts in hopes of laughing, the first two parts of this episode get too close to my taste. Since this show is usually smarter than that, I’m willing to forgive this, but if I say I think the first two parts of this episode are a great example of the best jokes in the series, I’d lie.

Laughing isn’t the only part Nemu offers in this episode, as it also comes with some ominous foreshadowing. After escaping from Morihito’s house, she finds herself in the woods, where she stumbles upon a mysterious pair who seem to be planning something involving Nico. One of them claims to be a warlock, and although we don’t know what this means in the context of this series, hearing the word makes the word Nemu enough that she feels the need to try to warn Nico and others about what is coming. As I’ve been waiting for the last few weeks to get to this point, I’m excited about the shift in tone that stands for and how I’m dealing with watching anime. Hopefully it’s worth the wait, and so far, how flexible the show is, and how it will handle its own operations when putting the flexibility into the test will be interesting.
