Magikano just got better with 100% more Halko
The funniest anime airing right now just got even better, with episode 5's introduction of Witch Hunter Marin Nijihara, voiced by Haruko Momoi (many thanks to cortana paging me on SA, or I would have missed this awesome series). Halko is still sharp as a tack. Here is a breakdown of her character and debut episode:
Marin, an agent of the vatican, is the retarded version of Ciel.
She hunts witches with her Holy Spear.
But she's an an adorable doofus who can't do anything right.
She employs unconventional tactics to exploit the enemy's weakness.
But often it just leads to more absurdity.
A misunderstanding leads Marin to believe that our male protagonist Haruo is actually a Saint, and that her purpose on earth is to serve him.
Of course, Maika is very hostile to any competition for her brother's affection.
Hilarious antics ensue as a race breaks out over who's lunch Haruo must eat.
A shrinking magic spell is unwittingly unleashed on all members involved, but OF COURSE it doesn't affect the clothes. Also at this point, Sakura Nogawa starts doing her Hina Ichigo voice to match her shrunk down character - and that's seriously cute.
As Marin gets smaller, her resemblance to Popotan's Mii becomes glaringly obvious.
Mii-tan, I mean Marin wins the race to deliver her lunch first!
OH.. MY.. GOD! IMAGINE THIS FACE WITH HALKO VOICE AMPLIFYING THE CUTENESS! CAN A MAN SURVIVE THIS?
Finally, everyone returns to normal, except now they're all in their underwear. So yeah, you get the idea...Halko doing ridiculously cheesy roles for a crazy humor show? That's just like her - and damn this is a good series. Even before she shows up I had laugh out loud moments..but now after episode 5 it's sheer heaven to watch this. Get it!
