Majimoji Rurumo (Magimoji Rurumo)

After an unfortunate accident, completely normal heterosexual high school student Kouta Shibaki is branded as the school pervert. With girls avoiding Kouta like the plague, truly the young man's worst nightmare has come to fruition! One day in the school library, he stumbles upon a peculiar book said to possess the power to summon witches. Partly out of desperation, partly out of boredom, Kouta decides to play along with the joke of a book, until an apprentice witch going by the name of Rurumo Maji Mojiruka appears before him. In an unusual turn of events, Kouta ends up helping Rurumo with some general witchery tasks in exchange for his soul being spared.

Majimoji Rurumo follows the misadventures of Rurumo as she attempts to persuade Kouta to use 666 magical wish-granting tickets in her efforts to become a fully-fledged witch, unaware that every time she grants a wish, Kouta's life is shortened. Aided by Rurumo's familiar Chiro, Kouta must decide between helping Rurumo or saving his own life.

Alas, Majimoji Rurumo one more in the list of those anime that squander potential.

That is not to say that this anime is terrible. In fact, I found it quite enjoyable. However, it is not a balanced anime, and it ignores its strengths in exchange for staying within the safety net of the same old tropes. Both times I have watched this series, I have had to strain my senses so as to not lose the golden thread that runs through the mud. That golden thread is all that can be seen of what could have been a great romance story about love across boundaries between ... two characters who are both awkward for different reasons.

The serious interactions between Rurumo and Kouta are few and far between, and they are the only moments that really made me feel like the story was progressing. In between these moments (or sometimes obscuring them) are a plethora of overused perverted, comedic devices. Occasionally, there is some genuinely good comedy, but regardless of the comedy's quality, the story is rarely progressing. But how could it? After all, the story premise itself is based on the relationship between Rurumo and Kouta. And yet, that relationship takes a backseat to the comedy. On top of that, filler episode format is used - swimsuit episodes, lingerie episodes, etc. There is little to no sense of progression in the episodes because the production team tunneled too heavily on creating funny perverted scenarios, even though a gem of a relationship premise was staring them in the face. In the final episode, we finally get a truly serious emotional episode plot, and yet it falls flat because there has been so little development beforehand. Perhaps the gentlest way of viewing the production's failure is to say that they tried to create a sense of the "fun" that Rurumo and Kouta were having together as a means to show the relationship's progression and empower the final episode. With that optimistic view, the show appears slightly more endearing, but ultimately it still suffers the same problems.

As for the individual aspect grading...

The story, for the aforementioned reasons, gets a 3. If the golden thread had been the focus, it quite possibly could have been an 8 or 9.

I'm not a great reviewer of art. Nothing popped out at me, but it wasn't ugly either. The same could be said for the soundtrack. Both get a grade of 6.

The characters were a strong point, but their strengths were badly obscured by the constant, poor comedy routines. As a result, the potential 9 is hard to see beyond the 7.

The enjoyment of the show ranks average as well. Being forced to strain ones eyes for the gold among the mud makes it difficult to find that feeling where you get really drawn in. I found myself drawn in for mere single scenes before being alienated again by poor comedy.

Overall, it is a 7 in my books. Or perhaps a 6.5 if I could use partial points. The obscuring of the story being poor comedy made for a frustrating experience. However, the glimpses of that story were pure gold. This is certainly one anime for which I will be checking out the manga, in the hopes that the poor communication of the most important aspects of the story were due to its adaptation and not its authorship.

Mixed Feelings

So a guy gets a bunch of tickets, which make a certain loli witch, that now lives with him, make his wishes come true. The only catch is, when he uses all the tickets, he will die, but the witch does not actually know that....add to the mix that the anime is about a perverted schoolboy and you will get a rather generic, but at times fun slice of lify anime.

There is really not much to this anime. The jokes are usually the cliche over the top and perverted ones. Nothing really significant happens at all, and there is a beach episode, just to show ...

So much goes to waste in this anime.
While I understand that there's really not much to go off of, the problems of this show are still obvious. The pacing is weird, characters suddenly pop in and out, and a lot of plot points are buried in the easy-going rhythm of the show.
The females dialogue all sound like background characters who don't even have names, the club the MC is in didn't even name two of the three characters in it, the MC has a little brother with like three lines in the entire show that I forgot about for like six episodes, and one ...
