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
