That sentai show was so fucking depressing! But no wonder it's popular with only kids and moms, it's a sentai show and a daytime soap opera about a married man in a dead relationship with his wife.

I do love how Kan went from complaining how it shouldb't be shown at an amusement park to immediately getting invested as soon as the cute coworker (voiced by Aoi Koga) was introduced. I can't blame him, even I got invested too. xD

Although it looks like Otto-man's relationship with his wife isn't as dead as you'd initially think. The dude clearly enjoys being used by his wife as an Otto-man. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

One of the few moments where we get to see Kan act all cool. It was so awesome of him to let the original Otto-Man actor play his role and be a hero for his kid. Even Moi was so proud of him that he gave him an advance in his allowance. But based on the ending of the first half, Kan wasn't able to pay his debt. xD

And here it is! The fan-favourite chapter, The Side Job aka Speedster Kan is finally getting animated! The VOMIC of this is still one of the most viewed Witch Watch VOMICs over on the SJW YouTube channel, with over 5.5 million views!

Anyway, this one is definitely Kan's fault, tho! This isn't just Nico casting the spell on Kan. Nico made sure towarn Kan that the spell would probably give him a mental breakdown before casting it on him.

The effect of the spell is fucking hilarious though with Kan moving at 10x while everyone else moves at x0.1 speed from Kan's POV. What makes this even worse for Kan is it didn't make his job any easier and now he's stuck like this for 30 days.

I would genuinely feel bad for Kan if the entire thing wasn't so goddamn funny! And just when he was finally getting used to it, the dude now needs to readjust again after the spell finally wore off. xD

Factoring into calculations is that the Speedster Vomic had TWO parts, 1st part now having over 1.3 million views and 2nd part now having over 5.5 million views. Should the numbers for two-parters like these be overlapped or totaled?

A Toku Hero show where a marriage is hanging by a thread and that thread is the husband having to play his wifes' ottoman, all the while every time a co-worker acts like she's into him and is voiced by a popular seiyuu she turns out to be a kaijin to the disappointment of every man watching it. I feel like Toshiki Inoue must have created this show.

I hope Hironaka's wife is as cool with him losing a paycheck as Moi was with Kan...without having to make him play an Ottoman (then again he was happily showing his kid the position, so...wait, is this show nurturing men into becoming simps for their wives?)

Superspeed and Flash Time isn't what it's cracked up to be when you're stuck like that, it doesn't actually help with the thing you were planning to use it for, and the psychological horror creeps in and destroys you mentally. You're not even okay afterwards because of the lag. I even felt for Nico and Moi who had to watch this happen and be powerless to stop it.
