Witch Watch anime becomes the next big hit with ‘Demon Slayer’ & ‘Hunter x Hunter’ easter eggs

A new anime called Witch Watch is starting to get a lot of attention from fans. Even though it’s just beginning, it’s already being called the “next big hit” in anime. Why? Because it’s not just funny and full of magic it also includes fun Easter eggs from famous anime like Demon Slayer and Hunter x Hunter. These small hidden surprises are making fans even more excited to watch each episode closely.
Witch Watch is based on a manga written by Kenta Shinohara, who also created Sket Dance. The anime tells the story of a teenage witch named Nico and her loyal ogre bodyguard, Morihito. Nico moves in with him so they can prepare for the dangers of her powers, but their peaceful life quickly turns into wild magical chaos. The series mixes fantasy, romance, and comedy, and now it's surprising fans with clever nods to popular anime.
In Episode 1 of Witch Watch, eagle-eyed fans noticed some clever Easter eggs. One scene shows Morihito holding a book called "Demon Slayer," which directly references the famous anime of the same name. Another moment includes a small symbol in the book that looks just like the Hunter Association logo from Hunter x Hunter. These aren’t random. They are quiet shoutouts to other hit series that anime fans know and love.
These small references are getting a lot of praise. They show that the creators of Witch Watch are real fans of anime themselves. Including these hidden details makes watching the show more fun, especially for people who enjoy spotting secret messages or inside jokes. It also helps connect Witch Watch to other famous titles, showing that it’s part of the larger anime world.
Witch Watch is still in its early stages, but fans are already loving its mix of magic, humor, and strong character bonds. Nico is cheerful and full of energy, while Morihito is calm and serious. Their opposite personalities create fun situations that make each episode exciting. The series also introduces new magical characters who join the story as it goes on.
The animation is bright and colorful, and the story is easy to follow for both new and longtime anime fans. With more Easter eggs expected in future episodes, viewers are looking forward to what's next. Many believe Witch Watch could become one of the top anime of the year if it keeps up this pace.
