This was a great premiere. The animation was great, and the joke was stupid as the manga. Can't wait to see all the shenanigans Nico will bring with her magic. The visual on the OP is amazing, it was filled with many references for future events with a really smooth and fast-paced animation. I don't really vibe with the song, might need to listen to it a couple of times to vibe with it. The soundtrack during the anime was pretty rough, felt a little too generic. Overall, a great start for the anime.

Look pretty fun. One of those funny brainrot anime. LMAO, when Moi got Light Hearted it reminded me of Jin from DanDaDan

I got "Aho Girl" vibes but slightly less ridiculous

It's sadly not a show for me. I was very underwhelmed by the protagonists couple of a cute dumb girl with magical powers and a clever strong man to fix up things.

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Comedy checks out, I will watch this witch with great interest.

Done!

I really enjoyed this.

It was a little painful to watch where the protagonist's gadget/spell of the week gets them in trouble, then out of trouble.

It's like Doraemon with a cute witch girl instead of a cartoon robot cat, and with added romantic tension.

But with great direction it's working! The naruto ramen cakes scene was hilarious!

Looking forward to episode 2.

I have very mixed feelings on this one. I found the main couple very cute and endearing, but the show seemed so focused on the comedy beats which never really hit for me. I love a good childhood friends, bodyguard/ward, or magician/familiar dynamic, but I was disappointed by how gag-focused this was instead of on the heart that seemed to be in there. I give the premiere a 3/5, and if people say it's turning out amazing, I might return to it.

Amazing OP, though. I'd watch that anime, lol.

The manga was probably serious 10% of the time, gags 90% of the time. If that doesn't appeal to you I don't think this story is good enough that there's any reason to stick it out.
