Majimoji Rurumo

This was nice but it's nothing to write home about, just your standard slightly above average show.

Kouta Shibaki is your cliché hormonal teen who only thinks about girls and Rurumo is your cliché outsider who has hardly any idea of how the world works. Premise is Kouta summons the witch Rurumo and accidentally strikes a bargain where in he is given a pair of girls pants in exchange for his immortal soul.

After warming up to him a bit Rurumo refuses to take his soul and is punished by being forced to grant any wish Kouta desires.

Now I wouldn't blame you if you thought this sounded ... like the build up to a really perverted anime but it's really tame with a focus on the characters and not on fanservice, it's on AT-X but it's totally PG-13.

Rurumo and her familiar Chiro are the best part of the show. I love Rurumo's totally deadpan persona and Chiro is a great comic relief side character. A few of the episodes fall flat but the character interactions are good enough to carry the show.

If they make more I will watch it but I'm not exactly waiting with baited breath.

Majimoji Rurumo is a very lopsided piece of work. It would be a terrible show if not for the presence of Rurumo herself.

Majimoji Rurumo is a very corny show. They way each episode is laid out is painfully predictable and trite, always ending with Rurumo showing emotions at the end and learning what it is like to enjoy herself. These scenes have very little emotional impact since you saw them from a mile away, and the slow and emotional music only makes you want to look away from how cheesy everything is.

All the characters in the show are bland and 2-dimensional. The main character ... is the typical "nice" pervert, his friends (who could all be lumped into one character) are also perverts, there is a boob girl, another boob girl, a tsundere, and so on. Because the show is centered just on growing Rurumo as a character, the growth of everyone else is pretty much ignored, and they stay the same throughout the entire series. As a result, the characters act the same every time, always leading Rurumo to the same predictable end.

The humor is almost not worth mentioning, it's just standard jokes based on boobs and Rurumo being a klutz. I don't remember any moments in which it's made me laugh at all.

Despite all this, Rurumo herself somehow single-highhandedly carries this show out of the trash into the range of mediocrity. Rurumo herself is not special character by any means- she has difficulty expressing herself, but is nice inside. All of Rurumo's scenes portray her as cute and klutzy. She says herself, "I'm a bit slow, so I have to try hard." It seems like she's just as artificially engineered to draw out emotion like the rest of the show, but the difference with her is that it works- she ends up being very endearing.

I cannot recommend Majimoji Rurumo as a good show to anyone. I watched it only for Rurumo, and every scene without her felt like a struggle to get through. However, when she got screen time, the show was largely enjoyable. Overall, I had a fair enjoyment of this show. If you are looking for an ok show devoid of any meaning just for fun, then Majimoji Rurumo isn't such a bad show to watch.

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 ... how much of an average, cliche anime this one is.

I am still not going to lie and will say, that this anime can be a bit funny sometimes and can be a bit touching sometimes. Still the humour can be rather tasteless and generic and the characters are mostly carbon cutouts.

The animation is absolutley nothing spectacular. It is actually below average, but the show like that does not really need good animation that much.

So overall what I am trying to say, is that this is just an average/sligltly above average slice of life anime. You can get a few chuckles out of it and forget about it's existance in a few days. Nothing special, but nothing too awful too.
