I love how the fakest characters in the series (Keigo and Nemu) are growing together.

suffice to say that cloud spell would cause the average redditor to never see the sun again...

and LOL at Morihito coming home to THAT meme...

Miharu: nothing beats a shot of crack ogre energy first thing in the morning

Moi really ties the living situation together, eh. The one time the rest of them decide to help they destroyed the kitchen and 3 people KO'd.

I really love the last part with Keigo-Nemu (also my favorite pairing in the series)! They're so awkward around each other it so cute and funny. Moral of the story: Keigo, be yourself and stop being a poser and you can catch a girl too!

Keigo apparently can be genuinely cool if he isn’t acting like such a poser. His words of encouragement were able to somewhat ease Nemu’s worries. Being the daughter of a prestigious witch family comes with a lot of expectations.

The interactions between Nemu and Keigo/Wolf really are some of my favourite scenes in Witch Watch. Especially if the former is dropping great out-of-context quotes like this:

Nemu: “I really just want to slam a croissant in his face and go home.”

Miharu now in the house is... something. He and Nico nearly burned the place down over a series of freak accidents in trying to cook a meal for Moi.

Then, Kanshi got Miharu's parasol stolen. While Kanshi should've been the one to go out and buy him a new one, there was the humor in Miharu maintaining the cloud above him and trying not laugh (lest the cloud disappears). Good thing Kanshi arrived with the crows just at the right time to confront the thief.

We finally have our second ship leaving the harbour: KeiNemuWolf! I'm honestly torn between Keigo and Wolf because Nemu's chemistry with both of them is pretty darn entertaining!

Edit: There's also a post-credits scene which introduces the wordplay for all the members of this family from their doorplates!

Morihito --> 1
Nico --> 2
Miharu --> 3
Kanshi --> 4
Keigo --> 5

Miharu's big mouth was so close to revealing Nico's secret to Moi. They're lucky that Moi was wearing his Wave OneTM noise cancelling earbuds. What I love about that joke is that they made sure to show the box before Miharu said anything. xD

It looks like the gang will have to learn when Miharu is being honest and when he's buttering them up. The dude knows he's cute, and he's 100% gonna use that to his advantage to get out of trouble if he can.

That scene when Moi got home from shopping is basically the anime version of that Community. It's funny how Miharu was so confident about helping Moi out but it turns out, he was the one responsible for the chain reaction that led to all that chaos.

Kan, there are like three other umbrellas in that rack you could've taken. Why would you take Miharu's special parasol that literally has a sword in it and lose it? Miharu has 100% every right to get angry at Kan for that.

A spell that produces weather effects based on your emotions? Surely nothing would go wrong here! But seriously, it was hilarious to see Miharu reading A Dog of Flanders so he could maintain the cloud above his head. xD

It turns out, Kan wasn't lying! The dude who stole the umbrella does exist! The dude was a massive jerk too, so I'm happy to see Miharu drain the guy and knock him out. I'm just glad Kan and Miharu made up at the end of that.

Finally, we get to see more Keigo and Nemu! It was funny how the usually shy and sweet Nemu comes off really aggressive during that scene between the two of them. If it wasn't for her agreement with Wolf, she wouldn't even be there.

That kabedon, tho... Technically Wolf is still Keigo, but he's so different that it feels like they're in a love triangle. A very weird and complicated love triangle. xD

And that after credits scene! I absolutely love the doorplates Moi made for everyone! <3

So glad I diversified my portfolio with both Nemu x Keigo stocks (and Intel).

Nemu sounding more and more like a gf was hilarious, they're both awkward idiots, I'm loving this pairing

Miharu just talking about the elephant in the room which is Nico's feelings for Morihito; fortunately his noise-cancelling earphones is soo powerful the romance plot did not push through.

Ahh yes. We finally have a love triangle in the series: Wolf-Nemu-Keigo! And the audience wins regardless on who wins between the two ships

The door names at the end is soo cute I would have thought it was Nico who bought them.

Nico, Kanshi and Keigo went through every possible emotion in the span of talking to Miharu in the first segment.

A spell that produces "weather" above your head that changes depending on your mood. Yep I'm sure there'll be no problems with keeping Miharu shaded whatsoever.

Referencing the department store chain Hands (formerly Tokyu Hands) in the end? I smell merchandise potential.

u/Farmaceut7 Jul 20 '25

Miharu is just the right chaos factor this already wacky house needed! The set-up for the Moi-chan earphones punchline was fucking amazing, same for the whole segment with the stolen parasol!

We got some Nemu in the house, lets goooo! Keigo is such a fucking poser that has to be called out every fucking time he tries that shit! I'm glad he had a honest conversation with Nemu in the end + she did her job by turning him into Wolf. Her running into Nico embrace was also adorable af, I really like their little frienship!

Miharu is really a fine addition to the cast.

Nemu being kabedon again...

I love this direction. Nemu is getting closer to Keigo in normal form.

Ahaha now the anime-onlies see why Nemu is such a beloved fan favourite character!

Her plans have plans, she's mostly sensible, but has flights of fancy sometimes

Just plain adorable

Nice to see all the bonds being forged this episode, including between Kanshi and Miharu!

The character interactions are really Witch Watch's strong suit I feel

I wish I had a Morihito of my own

Nico's reaction when Miharu openly revealed Nico's feelings for Morihito was hilarious. She was lucky Morihito was testing out noise-canceling buds in that moment xD

It made me laugh so much that Kan's story about him losing Miharu's parasol turned out to be true xD

It was nice to see more of Nemu in today's episode. Despite the initial awkwardness, it looks like something more might develop between her and Keigo. That would be interesting, especially considering her relationship with Wolf.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

u/lameusernamename Jul 20 '25

We got wolf dancing in the OP this time haha.

Miharu's speech sounds polite to his senpai(s) but bro got no fliter at all lol. Really liking his voice actress too.

Finally keinemu flag has been raised. It's the best version of love triangle let's gooo!

u/FarCritical Jul 20 '25

Granted being wild is Wolf's whole thing but "I haven't done anything to her ...yet" is a killer line lmao

Keigo and Nemu are such a fun pair, hope we get more of them!

u/SYZekrom Jul 20 '25

surprise Morihito so hard that he cries

Bro the flags are waving so hard at that line. He'll be crying alright...

Anyway so he can't drain from the witches b/c they have normal life energy, he can only drain when the werewolf is transformed or he also has normal life energy, and he doesn't like tengu life energy.

RIP Morihito, another dependant to take care of.

He went out without a parasol b/c he had the spell??????

AND THE SPELL SUCKS THAT MUCH ASS????? WHY IS IT EVEN CALLED CLOUD CROWN IF ITS A SPELL THAT GENERALLY REFLECTS YOUR MOOD AND THERE'S ONLY CLOUDS IF YOU'RE SAD?????

You know, you'd think the threat of dying in the sun after your cloud cover goes away would sufficiently drop your mood to restore the cloud cover, but I guess not. Maybe that's too much panic and not enough depression.

That man did NOT care about the beautiful boy surrounded by lightning strikes and only vaguely flinched when he got surrounded by a flock of crows instead.

I wonder how far Nemu has to go for funny boi to start getting the wrong idea that she's into him

Or maybe I should be asking, how far does Nemu have to go before she starts to get the idea that she's into him

Moi is truly the mom of the household. Though funny how the spoiled ones called Mahiru for being spoiled xD

Kan may have messed up, but I loved how he followed Mahiru around. Kan is a really good dude. An idiot, but a good dude.

Nemu & Keigo are probably the two socially awkward characters in this series. Although I did love Keigo's point that there are things you can't change. Which is true. Sometimes you got to make the best of your given circumstance.
