Majipoka isn’t exactly what you might think it is. Unless, of course, you think it is a mostly disconnected set of episodes filled with absurdist humor, and largely free of ecchi content. Majipoka is more cute and/or moe than ecchi. There are some mildly ecchi moments, but they serve the humor rather than distract from it.

The show makes great fun of the modern world and of pop culture. I like that kind of humor, especially when it avoids specific references to other media. Majipoka does just that. Enjoying it requires no familiarity with any other shows or media.

Even if you aren’t immediately thrilled with Majipoka, you may want to keep watching. It is made of pairs of half-length episodes. They are only marginally related, and each brings something new to the show. The downside of this is that people who insist on having some grand overarching story will not like Majipoka, but for those of us who can enjoy what is right in front of us, the show is excellent fun.

Given its pacing, I would recommend Majipoka to anyone who likes slice of life anime. I would also recommend it to anyone who likes its brand of humor. Try a bit and see.
