I went into my viewing of this show with a morbid fascination about how epically bad this anime was going to be. The title, Butt Attack Punisher Girl Gautaman called to me and I knew I must see this. A girl in a sumo belt using her butt to attack evil? I love you Japan.
For the sake of brevity I am could to refer to this series as just Gautaman. The story is as basic as they come. Mari is a devout Christian and a new student to a private school that caters to many different faiths. Unfortunately for her it is also home to an evil cult known as Black Buddha. After her new friend and roommate is captured by the cult to be brainwashed into becoming a worshiper, Mari is given the power of Gautaman to save her. Much to her shame and the delight of everyone else her costume involved a lot of skimpy clothing topped off with a sumo belt that exposes her backside. Stay with me here. Yes its one of if not the most completely ridiculous situations I have ever seen but the thing that this show does so right is that it knows it’s ridiculous, and that’s the whole point.
The parody is quite good, it takes aim at everything from Japanese pop culture to Star Wars. The Star Wars references were very amusing since I was such a fan of it growing up. Having a guy in a sumo suit with a Darth Vader mask on was almost too much to bear. There is a lot of echii comedy mixed in as well but really it is pretty tame from what I was expecting. Besides a few boobs and some sexual humor it’s fairly clean. The main problem people are likely to have is that a good majority of the parody is going to be lost on the current generation. Even something like Star Wars is 30 years old now, and almost everyone is going to not know any of the 70s J-Pop singers or manga writers. Another issue is that it doesn’t end. After doing a little research on this title there seems to be a sequel that will finish things up. The comedy is good enough to carry it that honestly I didn’t really care about that.
There isn’t any real depth to any of the characters which is really to be expected for something this short. That doesn’t mean that they weren’t enjoyable though. Mari and Saori were both charming and likable as the main protagonists. The supporting cast and villains are equally as shallow and mainly rely on their various visual stereotypes to build their characters.
For an anime this old, the artwork really does hold up. The various fight scenes and character designs are very well drawn and animated. Like most series from this era the colors are a bit dull and lifeless however. There is not a lot to comment on the sound, the acting was good but there is little music to critique either.
I was really tempted to go a little higher on my overall rating. Gautaman has a number of flaws, its humor is extremely dated and the lack of an ending. However if you can appreciate the humor and not take it too seriously I think you might enjoy it too.

WOW, this is as Echii as the name implies.
Well the basic plot is something like this Mari is a strongly devoted Christian and moves to a religious liberal school, there she befriends a hindu devoted girl and then this girl is kidnapped. After this Mari gets troubled and tries to pray to jesus and the holy mary but then comes a perverted Buddha instead, the perverted Buddha induces mary into turning a heroine with some sumo panties and having in them her strength to fight her enemies, (with her butt attack!) which are all perverts by the way. Have you ever heard of an butt print? They have one there
The show actually made me give some good laughs and were definitely some 45 minutes well passed. It seems to have a sequel, I looking forward to watch it, as soon as Anime-Classics releases it, someday soon, or not..
If the title gives you curiosity, go ahead and try watching it, be it a good or a bad experience, chances are that you'll remember it either way .

Both of these titles feature bizarre schools, where young female students get kidnapped by the bad guys all the time. Both feature heroines who fight back (and distract) with their bodies quite literally. They also both very wacky, full of parodies, and very ecchi.
These series both have extremely scantily clad magical girls, complete with transformation scene and cheesy plotlines.

Both are mahou-shoujo parodies with similar risky humour. Gootaman raises more themes (i.e. religion) and is a little bit more decent, but the overall atmosphere is pretty much the same.
Both are ecchi parodies of the magical girl genre.
