Morihito Otogi, a high school student who comes from a lineage of ogres, enjoys a peaceful, ordinary life until his childhood friend, Nico, moves in with him. Nico is a witch-in-training, and chooses Morihito to be her familiar. While Nico is thrilled to reunite with her old friend and crush, Morihito is tasked with the perilous duty to protect her from a foretold calamity. Between the unpredictable chaos caused by Nico's magic, and the awkwardness of sharing a home, their lives become a whirlwind of supernatural hijinks and threats.

Witch Watch, being simple and uncomplicated, is not at all a negative; if anything, its simplicity makes it charming, especially since it nails its comedic, light-hearted tone and does a great job making the characters likable.

Although much of Witch Watch‘s early comedic back-and-forths don’t translate as well for Western audiences because of their regional baggage, the show quickly finds its more situational humor between its leads and its wealth of referential humor.

I’ve been waiting for this anime to come out since it was announced. It’s a light hearted slapstick romcom with a funny change in art style. I’m glad I was able to catch the viewing for the first 3 episode
