Fairy Ranmaru is a camptastic anime filled with nonsense and absurdity. It was trash and I loved it!
Let’s get the technical stuff out of the way: the story and characters leave a lot to be desired. This is not a “conventionally good” show that can be enjoyed in conventional ways. If you’re looking for tight writing and intricate characters, Fairy Ranmaru will not meet your expectations.
It follows the typical, trope-heavy “monster of the week” format that most fans of the “magical girl” genre will recognize. The episodic formula is extremely repetitive, especially in the latter half of the show where there’s very little variety.

Currently, this is one of the lowest rated anime airing this season, a fact I find both hilarious and unfair. On one hand, yea, I get it, this show is overwhelmingly horny and not in a currency that a lot of people accept. On the other hand, I think if you try to watch this show without letting your personal tastes on its particular brand of horniness overwhelm your judgement, you'll find a show that it is... solidly okay!
Plot: I am not watching this show for the plot. I am very much watching this show for the *PLOT*. Not even in a horny way! ... Jan 31, 2024
Okay.. So this anime is rather uhum- interesting. I don't mean this in a bad way either. Sure the ploty is iffy and a bit boring but I mean I'm pretty sure we all expected that. The anime wasn't bad and the art animation were good, the characters while looked pretty could've definitely been fleshed out more. It wasn't even like the protag was 3D and the others were 2D, they all had pretty equal screentime which means they were okay just not good. The fan service was okay to me, and I'm saying this as a fujo. It wasn't all that great. The relationships

I don't like writing reviews that much so I'll try and keep this brief but, well, in short, Fairy Ranmaru is the sort of anime that you can turn your brain off while watching. The visuals are nice, the ending and opening songs are really good, and the characters (in both their buff fighting forms and cute every day forms) are eye-candy in the purest form. In terms of visuals, the whole thing is beautiful however in terms of story... Not so much.
The story is, to say the least, a little repetitive. There's a few sprinkles of an overarching story and it does follow ... Jan 16, 2022
Between the overt homosexuality, constantly recycled canned animations and story beats, weak story carried by bland characters and lack of direction, there's a lot to not like about this show. I don't like BL as a genre. I get it, sex sells, fujoshi exist, there's a market for this. None for me, though, thanks.
The only reason I watched this was because on paper it sounded like a comedic premise. Actually watching it proved to be far less funny, as it has the fatal flaw of taking it's ridiculous narrative too seriously. I feel like I criticize a lot of shows for having that problem, and ... |
