Witch Watch Episode 2 picks up right where the premiere left off—with Nico officially moved into Morihito’s house, and chaos now being a part of his daily routine, whether he likes it or not. This episode leans more into the slice-of-life vibe, focusing on how they’re adjusting to being under the same roof… and, of course, what happens when a witch tries to “help” with magic.
Spoiler: It goes about as well as you’d expect.
🏠 Life as Roommates? Not That Simple
Nico’s absolutely thrilled about living with Morihito, and she’s already acting like they’re in a rom-com. She’s planning meals, trying to do cute things, and casting spells to make herself seem like the “perfect” housemate.
Meanwhile, Morihito is just trying to survive the day without being turned into another farm animal.
What makes the dynamic fun is that Nico’s enthusiasm meets Morihito’s deadpan calm, and every scene between them is dripping with contrast. The comedy lands not because it’s loud, but because the two characters feel so completely mismatched—in the best possible way.
✨ The Spell of the Day: Charm Bomb
This episode’s magical mishap involves Nico attempting to cast a “Charm Aura” spell—you know, to appear more lovable. What could possibly go wrong?
Well… she ends up charming everyone but Morihito, including random strangers and his dad. It’s ridiculous and over-the-top in exactly the way this anime promises to be.
While Nico is basking in attention, Morihito’s trying to reverse the damage before someone proposes to her in the street. It’s funny, quick-paced, and another reminder that Nico’s heart is in the right place—but her magic often… isn’t.
🧡 A Bit of Heart Beneath the Humor
Toward the end of the episode, we get a small moment of sincerity. Nico reflects on how she’s always admired Morihito’s strength and discipline, and while she hides it behind magic and teasing, she clearly wants to earn his respect.
Morihito, for his part, is beginning to realize that protecting Nico isn’t just about brute strength—it’s going to involve patience, too.
🧭 Final Thoughts
Episode 2 isn’t just funny—it’s charmingly chaotic, with just enough heart to make you care. It builds nicely on the first episode’s setup, establishing their dynamic and teasing the possibility of deeper emotional development.
There’s no big plot twist here—but for a magical slice-of-life anime, that’s exactly the point.
💬 Favorite Moment: Nico charming Morihito’s dad and not understanding why he’s suddenly ready to adopt her.
🌕 Rating: 4/5 – Light, funny, and full of magical mayhem.
🪄 Next Episode Tease: More spells, more awkwardness, and probably more unintended magical side effects.
