Seizei Ganbare! Mahou Shoujo Kurumi

It's like someone took the world's most uninteresting visual novel and tried, badly, to animate it. If you care for the magical girl genre, good comedic timing, or even just well-drawn fanservice, don't bother with this series.

STORY: 3

There basically isn't one. Well, there is, but it's lackluster generic concepts from other magical girl anime haphazardly smashed together.

ART: 3

Look. It's robotic. Flat. Incredibly inconsistent. Badly timed. Consists of far too many still images But for some bizarre reason, someone clearly put some effort into making decently original character and wand designs, as well as cute mascots.

It does, repeatedly, attempt to provide fanservice, but the ... boob bouncing looks more like what happens when a ballon deflates than bouncing. And al their underskirts, panties, and shorts are white, so even upskirt shots are worthless. Really, it's a wonder they bothered!

SOUND: 2

It's like someone's' high school garage band decided to try their hand and kawaii kids sound, but lost all will and interest half way. It's below-par, boring, but not inherently horrific.

Add in the bad acting, constantly talking over each other, sounding like a bunch of clueless tween streamers, making the audio unbearable to listen to.

CHARACTER: 1

Do you know what happens when you take a bunch of generic moe girls, strip them of interesting backstories, and stick them on screen, with zero real motivation or brain power? This. This is what you get. They aren't offensively awful characters, but they're not remotely interesting.


In conclusion, don't be the kind of crazy person like me who tries to watch everything under a genre header. Some unpopular, lesser-known series really ought to stay that way, and this is one of them.
