Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!!

I’ve reviewed a LOT of bad anime for this site, but today I’m doing something I don’t normally do. I’m writing a request review for a friend’s birthday. This will be a tough one to get through, but I happen to really, REALLY like this person. So why not? This is Juden Chan, the worst magical girl anime you’ve never heard of.

So what is Juden chan about? It’s about a magical race from another dimension called Juden, who cure depression by shoving magical AC cords into people and giving them electroconvulsive therapy. I’m just a few sentences into this review and it’s already awkward! ... In Japanese, Juden or 充電 is a word for “Re-charge”. In German it means “Jews”, which entirely changes the context of the series. It would actually be a better series if it was about magical Jewish psychologists flying around and trying to cure depression. The adventures of Freud-chan and her friends Maslow-chan, Kohlberg-tan, and Adler-chan. Hideaki Anno makes a guest appearance and keeps wanting to interview Freud-chan! Sadly, that’s not what happens.

What happens is an angry guy beating the magical girls to near death with a baseball bat as a feeble attempt at slapstick comedy. However, the physical violence directed at magical girls isn’t what this series is remembered for. For those rare individuals who have seen Juden Chan, the thing they most remember about the series is the pissing. The female characters can’t go 5 minutes without pissing themselves. The weirdest part is that I read the manga in preparation for this review and it doesn’t happen ONCE in the manga! It would appear this addition was entirely the whim of the anime’s director.

The mangaka for Juden Chan was Bow Ditama, most well known for KissxSis. He also wrote the slightly better Mahoromantic Robot Maid. Ditama isn’t the best writer in the world, but he’s NOT the problem here. The problem is the anime’s director, Shinichiro Kimura. This guy is an evil madman! He’s the director of Popotan, which still ranks in the top 10 worst anime I’ve ever seen. He also directed Sleeping with Hinako, which is another piece of shit I’ve reviewed. He took a harmless, stupid ecchi and made it a painfully unfunny, cringe-worthy fetish show. Even if you happened to have a pee fetish, I’d be willing to bet all my money this show still sucks! Despite this being unwatchable garbage, it still got an English dub and DVD release here in the US…in 2016. This anime was made in 2009, but 7 years later Media Blasters purchased it, dubbed it, and released a censored version on Crunchyroll. Mind blowing!

I feel like I lost half my brain cells watching this show. Let’s do some brain exercise! Since this is Juden chan, our topic will of course be piss. Did you know that the UK banned the erotic portrayal of urination in 2014, which makes this anime illegal in the UK? It’s not just peeing on people, but ALL urination. Since “squirting” is over 50% urine, all female ejaculation was also banned by the same law. Most controversially, the law hilariously banned cunnilingus while blow jobs remained legal. These standards were voted on by an all-male council of septuagenarians appointed by noted pig fucker (cough) I mean moral paragon David Cameron. I can’t leave you with just one pee fact! This is Juden Chan damn it! Did you know that with some practice, women can pee much farther than guys? To understand this, we need to consider both human anatomy and physics. The male urethra is 5 times the length of the female urethra. This is important because of the laws of fluid dynamics, which state that the velocity and flow rate of liquid moving through a tube is inversely proportional to length. Also, the male urethra travels through the prostate gland, which impedes flow. While male physiology gives a strong advantage in arm wrestling and running contests, we’re not well suited to pissing contests. Thank you for teaching us Juden Chan!

You may be thinking, “That’s fucking gross! Why would I ever need to know this stuff!” Remember a quote from beloved Juden science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, “Any increase in knowledge anywhere helps pave the way for an increase in knowledge everywhere”

I was prepared to hate this show based on the trailer(s). How blind I was.


This show takes place in our world. In in this world we humans are helped everyday apparently, by people from a parallel world, from a organization dedicated to "charging up" depressed individuals. Why? We don't know yet. We can't see them, but a special young man encounters one of our heroines, with a baseball bat.

ECCHI. Most assuredly not for kids, or those sensitive about abuse of women.

After watching 7 episodes now, I have to say I'm almost impressed. Well animated, with few QUALITY moments. Gratiutous ecchi, as per Ditama!!!
ie: ... orgasm induced urination due to blunt force trauma to the head.

The characters are cute and moderately will fleshed out in the story. The mini eps of the magical girl in most every ep are hillarious and a homage to bad hentai, or good hentai, whatever that is.

The story is still developing at this point. We have meet genki girl, tsundere girl, imouto and life long freind of the male lead and a mysterious youngster.

All fairly common.We've had some expository eps *nothing earth shattering story wise* and a few eps dedicated to pure fan service. They make me giggle. Now we are moving into the "srs bznz" arc.

the Bad.
I'm not totally down with our hero beating down the 2 main female leads, Plug and Arresta, with a bat *among others*. To be fair, it sems to cause no harm, other than a minor bump and uh...post orgasmic cleanup. But, DITAMA!!!

If you like DITAMA!!!, large amounts of ecchi, an over the top plot and did I mention the skin suits? Juude-chan might be up your alley

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is the anime I would like to call "Double Standards."

When a shounen (supporting) lead in anime gets physically hurt by a chick, nobody pays any mind to it. It's "played for lulz," considered "ha-ha funny," and "you should shut up about it, you troll."

But when a shounen physically hurts a chick or more, and it's played for the lulz and "ha-ha funny;" then "it's not really funny at all." Because, you know. The Japanese animu industry makes more of the former and rarely focuses on the latter.

Which is sad. Juuden-chan is one of the more original ... anime I've saw in two decades. And that's saying a lot. Also, the upskirt panty-shots just make the show go down a bit smoother; despite how ridiculous it can get. I'm surprised that nobody had licensed and dubbed this yet.

Seriously, though. If societies could be judged by the themes of their cartoons and Japan allows its anime industry to create works like "MM!", Kodomo no Jikan, Girls Bravo, and even the Clannad franchise; then there's no hope for that country and its people. Nevermind us in the West with Family Guy and South Park.

At first, from the first part of it, It was so confusing. The whole concept of 'charger girls.' which made me a little iffy to continue, but by episode 2 you quite learn to understand what it is.

I found my self...CAPTURED... by the flow, and movement they did. Even the little 'mini' series inside the one that one of the characters comes to adore. I found the drama kept me on the edge of my seat a bit that made me angry when the next one wasn't up on the place I watch it at.

Over all I was VERY pleased with this anime, which, ... in all honesty, is hard for me to say, because I'm very picky about anime.

This is not for children or people who don't like depressing moments, or anime that sucks you in. Because, believe me, it did to me.

Over all, go watch it. It's fantastic.

Ok, I've just watch 3 episode of this anime, my review for this anime is as follows:

Art-Very good, especially the encchi part.

Sound- Not bad

Character: I like the way the female cast were drawn, but I REALLY REALLY HATE the male character "SENTO" co'z he really looks like a poster boy for a guy who beats women, Now, I don't mind the drawing, but him, hitting the main female lead (Plug and Arrester) with a bat, co'z either he's easily startle or just wanna keep the 2 to be quiet is not very funny the characters excuse is too lame, in fact I kinda wanna ... beat the crap out of him myself if I were a character in that anime. Co'z of his role in the anime I give this part a "POOR" number 3.

Enjoyment: With Sento hitting the girls with a bat........I'd say it's a "DREADFUL" number 2.

Overall: This is a kind of anime that every future chauvinist or wife beater should watch, this anime could have been nice without Sento hitting the female character with the bat, I can forgive the squirting, but not the girl beating. And frankly I'm not watching any further.


Trivia: In Africa, there is a certain tribe which the women literally would ask a man to flog her.

I have this anime on DVD- which was the only way to get it at the time- and have watched it a few times and it's very funny, entertaining, an all around great time but easily misunderstood by western audiences because of its off-color humor. Anime often has humor that wouldn't fly in the west, one of the reasons I love Japan for making it- so if you're sensitive and likely to be triggered by such things- please run to your safe space now.

Charger Girl is about these really unique magical girls who are invisible- they fly around wearing red latex suits and they ... can see how happy or sad you are- and if you have a low score- below C I think- they extract this huge plug from a nearby transformer and zap you to 'recharge' you and make you happy. Their job is to fly around and find depressed people and zap them to cheer them up- that's it. Except there's this one guy who actually can see them- and as soon as he does- WHAM! Shenanigans ensue.

Sento-kun, the crazy male lead constantly beats up on Plug, the adorable Charger Girl; the girls beat up on each other, and some of the humor is so shocking it just makes me laugh out loud- but the whole thing is meant to be fun and nobody wants any harm to come to Plug. This sort of humor used to be a way to get you to empathize more with a character, which is how it worked for me- every time Sento slugs poor little Plug I just want to give her a hug! Unintentional rhyme there. None of it is meant to be violent, it's very old fashioned slapstick comedy, like the Three Stooges or one of those really old comedy shows. And the characters do develop a meaningful relationship... and that makes it very rewarding. Either way, Plug is one of the cutest magical girls, this anime is so unique and odd, the closest thing I could compare it to might be Squid Girl? It's actually an Ecchi and there are some bare breasts and minor nudity, as if the girls' latex suits weren't suggestive enough.
Anyway if you need to be cheered up- then give this a watch. You'll feel zapped by the bizarre humor, or you'll hate it... but you won't see another one like this that's for sure. I recommend it.

Curious as to why? well... you will have to stay tuned next week--just kidding!

Alas, life is worth living people say. Is that true always? i have heard good arguments for both situations. Well, the creator of this anime provides an answer and not only that provides an additional one. His or her line of thinking is that no matter how strong you are to be strong you must be weak at some point. If one has ever been negatively impacted strongly before it can take a while to recover emotionally even then it still won't go all away. cue in ... the charger girls. Rising to the feat is their job to speed your path into possible greatness. Sure, by law they boost you but it takes a human to find a flaw. Which causes an unexpected greater benefit. What is that flaw? you will have to find out i am not telling :(P.

What i will say is the idea of hidden aliens aiding us in our time of need might be actually true. Ever do a 160 out of nowhere mood wise? ever hear an inner-log voice relay a message that you immediately grasped that upon further review you might not have personally thought if forced too?

I could tickle your fancy but i think you would strongly prefer i let the cute girls do it for you. Alas, i do have one regret i must say. I find my self lost in logical track of mind every time i think back to the joys this anime brought me. This is how i know it was good. Where even though the story has ended i can still see it playing.

I am very hesitant to criticize an anime like this despite the fact there are a lot of things about it that I don't really like. The reason is because a show like this could never even be contemplated in the United States. It would be self-censored out of existence. So I commend the Japanese people for fostering a culture of tolerance that would allow such an insane, crazy, gross and masochistic show to exist.

As with all good light anime, there is a nice, universal message running throughout. In this anime, Charger Girls use huge plugs to charge up depressed humans ... before their hearts give out. The organization they work for is run for profit and strives for efficiency and volume. But Plug, seemingly the worst employee of the bunch, has a different approach. Simply "charging" someone stuck in a rut will not solve their true problem. Plug realizes that if she waits patiently for the right moment when inspiration, resolve and passion coalesce, her charging has far more lasting effects. This takes far more time and leads to many complications but Plug is willing to risk her life for others and sees her work as a calling, not a job.

Not bad for a ecchi anime with girls whose outfits are designed to expose the inner half of both nipples.

Now, if this were just ecchi, I would love it. The females are beautifully drawn, their outfits are jaw dropping and the lack of true overt sexuality gives it an air of innocence that makes Charger Girl a fun, light, fantasy show to watch in between serious anime dramas. Also, the anime-within-the-anime is also well done and exaggerates the already heightened elements of Charger Girl. I really look forward to those snippets.

That said, there is apparently a certain sub-genre of anime that associates urine (pee) with sexuality and I have to say I find it kind of gross. It's quite jarring in an otherwise light ecchi show like this so be forewarned.

There are also a lot of female beatings - often with a baseball bat. Now, I totally agree that men getting annihilated by females for lulz in anime is fine so the inverse should be true. My real problem is that it gets redundant, boring and is really out of character.

Case in point: If you were a single guy in your 20's and two Perfect 10's from another dimension floated into your room wearing skin tight clothing, would you repeatedly attack them with a baseball bat on sight? Would the visual of Plug floating on all fours in your living room send you into a blind rage? Hell no. That's the true problem with the violence. It makes no sense.

If you can excuse some of its more extreme elements and are looking for a light show to watch, consider plugging in to Charger Girls!

The truth is that I ended up watching this anime because a scene with a loli appeared in an advertisement on animeflv.net and I said "I HAVE TO SEE IT".

I honestly thought that it was a random scene but it ended up being the whole series like that, ecchi, gags and laughter interspersed in the story that sometimes gets dramatic and other times almost incomprehensible.

The characters are exquisitely drawn, all thanks to Ditama Bow (KissxSis, Mahoromatic) and they develop well.

A mix of a MagicalGirls style and go to know what else each chapter makes you want to see the other and the other, and so ... on until it ends and you see that it does not have a second season (why so much evil ?? !!)

Important note: watch it with headphones and in your room. Nothing strange happens, but enough happens that your parents start calling the FBI

/////

La verdad termine viendo este anime porque aparecio en un aviso en animeflv.net una escena con una loli y me dije "TENGO QUE VERLO".

Pense sinceramente que era una escena random pero termino siendo toda la serie asi, ecchi, gags y risas entremezcladas en la historia que a veces se pone dramatica y otras veces casi incomprensible.

Los personajes estan exquisitamente dibujados, todo gracias a Ditama Bow (KissxSis, Mahoromatic) y tienen buen desarrollo.

Entre un estilo de MagicalGirls y anda a saber que otra cosa cada capitulo te lleva a querer ver el otro y el otro, y asi hasta que termina y ves que no tiene segunda temporada (porque tanta maldad??!!)

Nota importante: mirala con auriculares y en tu habitacion. No pasa nada extraño, pero pasa lo suficiente como para que tus padres empiecen a llamar al FBI

The Charger Girls anime will not be for everyone, but if you don't mind borderline hentai (e.g. uncensored nipples, gals pissing themselves,
and... tentacles?) if it has an adorable main character (that's Plug!), an actual story, character development, and actually does something then you'll enjoy this one!

First off, I watched the uncensored dubbed version (yes there's a censored version, also CR sucks) which is in my honest opinion the best version to watch.

With that in mind, how good is the dub?
This dub has to be one of the best dubs and arguably better than the Japanese version (oi! Don't pick up the pitch ... forks yet!). For example, Plug Cryostat sounds a lot more energetic and youthful than the sub, whereas in the sub, she honestly sounds about as mature as Arrester (who is supposed to be the mature one), but more energetic. I also think the dub does a better job of the emotions the characters have when excited, worried, and etc. The dub is absolutely 10/10.

The animation also felt great, movement was smooth, I didn't notice any weirdness, and movement conveyed emotions.
I also loved the art. every character looked different and despite being 720p I think it's still better than some of the newer anime out there.

Character development is noticeable and visible as you go on through the anime and honestly is the biggest reason I rate Juuden-chan so highly, I mean it helps that they're all interesting from the get-go, but to see a character go from struggling to express themselves to being more able to (this is just an example), is just plain enjoyable!

The story ain't got huge depth to it, there isn't some journey to find some volcano to put a ring in (somebody should really write a story like that tho), it's just gals working to make people happy and the plot develops from that concept, it's an intentionly simple story, that still has some depth and meaning to it that is highly enjoyable to mine own self.

Now the music has to be another top tier part that honestly fits perfectly in every way with this anime. The intro song, the outro song, and all the other funky music? Mmm, chief's kiss!

Anyway, this'll be the first and (hopefully) last review I'll make. Chur.

I decided to watch this anime since the reviews here seemed to have given it good praise. I gotta say, I do admire the character Plug with her bubbly personality involving her cute determination and her smart focused sidekick, Arrester. Both girls were pretty likeable and interesting characters for sure! Likewise for their boss, she reminds me of a female All Might from Boku no Hero Academia but without acting all heroic lol!

However the biggest downsides of this anime was the fact it had too much pointless fanservice floating about and I didn't like the fact they portrayed the guy who always seem to ... attack the girls with a bat. Some might find it funny but I found it wasn't at all funny. I found it uncomfortable and chilling. With regards to the fanservice, I felt it could've been toned down in regards with less sound effects and flashy nudity scenes. I get that it's an ecchi and I wouldn't mind a bit of nudity showing, still it should just chill the f down is all I can ask here.

Regards to the plot, it wasnt that special. Character development could be improved on some of the Loli supporting characters by not having nearly all of them as needy crybabies. Plug and Arrester are at least far from that! I wish as well the guy was likeable instead of a nutjob.

Anyways that's all I'm gonna say about this unpopular anime but I do recommend peeps to give it a watch regardless of my personal complaints!
