Witch Watch episode 16 review: Why this vampire-filled adventure is the heartfelt chaos you need
Witch Watch episode 16 is a perfect example of why this magical slice-of-life anime continues to charm fans. With the arrival of vampire Miharu Kiryu, the episode blends supernatural antics, heartfelt moments, and laugh-out-loud chaos, all wrapped in a quirky, character-driven narrative.
From emotion-powered umbrellas to awkward moonlit hangouts, every scene delivers warmth, humour, and a surprising dose of emotional depth. Whether you're following the series closely or just dipping in, this episode's balance of comedy and vulnerability makes it a standout. If you love magic with heart, Witch Watch episode 16 is not to be missed.
Miharu joins the chaos in Witch Watch: A vampire's entrance with heart
Episode 16 introduces Miharu Kiryu, a sarcastic yet sensitive vampire who instantly livens up the Otogi household.
Despite his blunt humour and dramatic flair, Miharu's desire to belong is clear.
He calls out Morihito's overburdened role in the group and attempts to help by organising a dinner cooked by the rest of the gang, a plan that quickly descends into magical kitchen chaos. Still, it's this blend of intention and imperfection that gives Witch Watch its signature charm.
Magical mishaps in Witch Watch: A cloud umbrella and sad vampire antics
In true Witch Watch style, the episode's second half turns a simple problem, Miharu losing his parasol, into a hilarious magical dilemma.
Nico crafts him a magical emotion-sensitive cloud umbrella, but there's a catch: Miharu must stay sad for it to function. Cue a montage of exaggerated gloom: tragic novels, tearjerking songs, avoiding joyful dogs, and ducking sunshine. These moments are absurdly funny, but they also reveal Miharu's vulnerability and his struggle to accept his vampire identity, showing how Witch Watch balances laughs with emotional growth.
Nemu and Keigo
's scene steals the show in Witch Watch episode 16
Just when the episode seems to wind down, we're gifted with an unexpectedly wholesome moment between Nemu and Keigo. Hoping to spend time with his werewolf side, Nemu ends up watching the moon with a shy, regular Keigo instead.
What follows is a painfully awkward, genuinely sweet exchange that captures the beauty of Witch Watch's character dynamics. Their bashful small talk, nervous energy, and visible effort to connect are both relatable and heartwarming, a quiet emotional beat that stands out in the episode's chaos.
Witch Watch episode 16 proves once again why this anime remains a fan favorite. It's not about high-stakes battles; it's about emotional connections, fantasy-fueled humor, and quirky everyday magic. Miharu's addition brings depth and fun to the cast, while scenes like Nemu and Keigo's offer heartfelt grounding. Whether you're a devoted viewer or a newcomer, this episode is the perfect snapshot of what makes Witch Watch special: magical mayhem with a heart.
If you're looking for a show that blends supernatural fun with surprisingly real emotions, Witch Watch episode 16 is a must-watch.

‘My Hero Academia' Season 8 trailer: Final battle begins as Deku and Shigaraki fight for the future of hero society
The trailer for the final season of 'My Hero Academia' has been released, offering fans an emotional and action-packed glimpse of what's to come when the anime returns in October. The new season, which marks the eighth and final chapter of the series, promises a dramatic end to the long-running story of young heroes in training. The trailer, shared by Crunchyroll, highlights the ultimate showdown between Izuku Midoriya (Deku) and Tomura Shigaraki. As the successors to One for All and All for One, their battle has been building for years — and now, the fate of the superhero society hangs in the balance. Alongside the action, the trailer brings back a nostalgic touch: the opening theme will be performed by Japanese rock band PORNOGRAFFITTI, who also sang the anime's very first opening, 'The Day.' This musical choice hints at a full-circle moment, connecting the beginning and end of the story. Though specific plot details remain under wraps, it's clear the final episodes will explore not only the physical conflict between Deku and Shigaraki but also Deku's emotional struggle. Torn between stopping Shigaraki and trying to save him, Deku's compassion remains central to his character. 'Even after everything he's done, Deku still believes Shigaraki can be redeemed,' the trailer suggests. 'My Hero Academia', based on the manga by Kohei Horikoshi, first aired in 2016 and quickly became one of the most popular anime series worldwide. Produced by Studio Bones, the series follows Deku and his classmates at U.A. High School as they train to become professional heroes in a world where nearly everyone has superpowers, known as 'quirks.' The final season begins streaming on Crunchyroll in October.
