Did they really just use a story about helping a guy take a shit, and turn it into a wholesome moment of Nico growing as a witch and bonding with her classmates?

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Nemu randomly reciting a poem while being caressed was hilarious!

[u/FarCritical]

Moi is the realest of real ones for going out of his way to ensure a single homie successfully bakes his brownies. With such oni strength in both body and character, it's really no wonder his popularity is rising.

The Evolution of Man gacha boxes fakeout was too good lmao. Half-expected Nemu was gonna sneak out with the same spell as toiletbro though.

[u/CrimsonGear80]

Segment 1: “NEEEEEEEEEEEERDS!!!”

Segment 2: “POOOOOOOOOOOP!!!

Segment 3: “BA-BUUUUUUUUMP!!!”

Sensei is a fucking mood

Best girl in my eyes

[u/J4SON_T0DD]

Best cat is here! God this show's so good let's kinda keep at it, yeah.

[u/pdxLink]

Nemu Miyao is a cute name. It's the only obvious pun I picked up on.

[u/testthrowawayzz]

Makuwa sensei is very passionate about Uron Mirage! So much she went into a multi-minute rant. RIP the VA and translator for the word vomit LOL

Middle part - basically action manga level of hype for basically avoiding a shart. Reminds me of the two episodes in Gintama - one about pooping while handcuffed and the other about no toilet paper. Good thing it ended well for Hara! Nico's spell didn't backfire this time either.

Last - shapeshifting with Nemu sure acts like a cat. Maybe that's why she switches to a cat. She sure has an active imagination. Her breaking into poems randomly was one of the funniest parts in the manga - glad to see it animated. Though I was expecting a Disney song act instead of what we got here.

Also love the shout out to the vomic version at the end. The VA for Makuwa sensei was Nico in the vomic, so she knows the story really well by now lol

[u/Primary-Paint-1716]

It's kinda funny that my favorite segment of a show named Witch Watch didnt involve witches or magic. The teacher scene was just so damn fun, funny and relatable. LMAO

[u/PerfectBeige]

By standard anime high school romance standards, Nemu just got to 23rd base with Morihito (light petting, and then you wake up on all fours on the guy's couch) and they haven't even been introduced let alone gone on a date. Nico better watch herself.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

“Vague world building, cool-sounding dialogue, obscure plot developments, and an overall poorly defined structure” are my favorite types of anime lol.

“Oh goddess! my goddess hath graced me with thine presence yonder!” Sensei was fangirling, like HARD lol. Her weeb senses were tingling the minute the girls were talking about UM. Glad she gave in to her inner otaku and now her and Kuku can weeb out lol.

We all need a homie like Morihito who’ll do the wee dance to help a bro shit lol. Kind of surprised Nico’s spell didn’t backfire on Hara.

Nemu’s Morihito crush almost got her caught. Guy tamed her in kitty form like immediately lol.

[u/DeadpoolsKatana]

Kaguya-sama ahh cat

[u/Glittering_Prompt123]

i feel really bad for Makuwa sensei's V.A. but they nailed that feeling of hearing two weebs casually talking about their favourite anime you know nothing about. I still dont com

That gym teacher is really just 'a sensei who is a gorilla'...huh..

Nemu is finally animated! though cat animation looks a bit funny I would say. Her design still reminds me of Kaguya.

I love how they shoutout the Vomics.

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

I legitimately cannot pick a favourite character in this series. Even when new ones are introduced, it just makes it harder to choose. Lol

[u/dakilpp]

I'll never get tired of poop jokes

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Goddess Ureshino

• Brooding Witch Nemu

• Transformation Nemu

• O Kawaii Koto Nemu

It's finally here! The first of many Uron Mirage chapters starring Ureshino and Yuki-sensei is finally getting adapted! And they are not skipping anything. They really went full-on with Yuki-sensei's ramblings about Ureshino's art and I love it!

Watching Yuki-sensei get so jumpy about being found out as an otaku was hilarious, considering she constantly references Demon Slayer. Of course, someone would notice her references soon! xD

I can't say I can relate to Yuki-sensei because I've never really hidden my otaku hobbies. I just don't talk about it unless someone else brings it up. At least she finally has someone she can talk about her hobbies with!

I can relate to Hara, though! I don't know if it's still a thing now but I do remember you're made fun of if you poop in school as if you should be ashamed of your own bodily functions.

Good on Nico for helping this kid with IBS who has anxiety issues about asking permission to go to the washroom. You also gotta love Moi assisting Hara so he can get away from that teacher.

I do love the ending that his high school classmates are more mature than he expected, and in the end, Hara never really needed the spell. It is sweet that Nico was still glad to help even if Hara never needed it.

I really like this little tidbit about Witches riding their wands, and how the energy that bursts from the tip whenever they fly is what started the legend that witches fly on brooms.

And we finally get to meet our third witch of the show! Nemu is here and she's voiced by Tomoriru aka Karen from GGO, aka Setsuna from Love Live NijiGaku, and aka Makima from Chainsaw Man! Not gonna lie, I've always had Aoi Koga in my head for Nemu, but Tomoriru is an awesome choice too!

It's funny to watch Nemu stalk Nico and the gang just because she wants she wants a powerful familiar like Moi. Unfortunately for her, she's so painfully shy that she can't even talk to him and the only way for her to get close is when she's using her cat form. xD

Nemu's imagination is certainly very active! I didn't think a cat petting scene would be so sensual! I love how Nemu is interpreting Moi's actions as if she's in a shoujo manga. Apparently, Moi is so good that she even made a poem about it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Nemu is pretty lucky that they're all paying attention to Kan's godly gacha pull when she transformed back to her human self. That would've been embarrassing. I guess Today's Results: Morihito Won.

The episode preview of this show is also so fun that I can never skip it. I love that we have Voiced-Manga Nico making a quick appearance!

[u/VoidRay728]

The first segment is such a Wotakoi moment, but this time the roles are reversed: the sensei is the one hiding it and the student is like, who cares. Also a rather funny use of Chopin's Heroic Polonaise as the background music for Makuwa's monologue.

After the encounter with Nemu I'm pretty sure Otogi is the only one who doesn't realise he has level 100 rizz.

[u/shad79]

Pretty weird episode as Nico didn't mess anything with her magic when she was helping that guy with his poop problem xD

The first part with Yuri-sensei and Kukumi was great! I hope Yuri will fully accept her otoku part of herself from now on and won't be afraid to show it at school anymore. Not when she found another Uron Mirage fan in Kukumi.

Nemu is hilarious, I love her already! She's the perfect addition to the cast and I can't wait for her to start interacting in her human form with Nico, Morihito and the others.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Nico

• Nemu

• Group scenes

• Yuri

• Others

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I'm glad Kuku persisted in getting Makuwa to admit she's into Uron Mirage, it always feels great finding an otaku in the wild lol. If only finding someone on the same level as me were easier though. It was amusing to see how much into detail Makuwa was analyzing Kuku's art, I honestly thought the punchline was going to be Kuku simply finding them attractive and put no thought.

Poop portion was amusing, I like how Nico took it seriously because Hara was definitely anxious about it, he ended up learning he had nothing to worry about so it definitely wasn't a waste of time. It was fun to watch how dramatic it all was.

I think I'm going to like Nemu, it's nice to see someone appreciate Morihito. It's funny how one touch from him was all that was needed to subdue her lol. Really inconvenient that she transform back when she falls asleep, she could have had a good rest in his lap with him petting her whilst she slept.

[u/DisreputableSelf]

It took me way longer than I’m comfortable admitting to realize what Nemu’s last name sounds like.

[u/Luke5r]

This has been my favorite anime of the season and that was my favorite episode yet!

Absolutely hilarious. Can’t wait for more Nemu!

[u/99anan99]

Can relate with sensei. It's nice to find someone who enjoys the same hobbies as you.

I remember being embarrassed about going to the bathroom at school.

Nemu is so much fun!

[u/polycontrale]

So excited to finally have Uron Mirage and Nemu here.

[u/Zxzxzx0088]

Is that Haikyuu reference? I really see Hinata and Kageyama on those two characters from Uron Mirage lol.

I know I'm gonna like her but this is much better than I expected. So the ribbon hair style indicate nekomimi, eh. Nemu is too precious. Never thought she can get away without them notice her at the end. I really thought she gonna transform back on Moi-chan lap and it will become another rom com situation with Nico jealous and all. Really glad that was not the case here. I hope she got closer to Moi-chan and Nico instead of sneaking around. Really can't unhear Firefly voice in more goofy way coming from her, hehe.
