Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!!

I’ve reviewed a LOT of bad anime for this site, but today I’m doing something I don’t normally do. I’m writing a request review for a friend’s birthday. This will be a tough one to get through, but I happen to really, REALLY like this person. So why not? This is Juden Chan, the worst magical girl anime you’ve never heard of.

So what is Juden chan about? It’s about a magical race from another dimension called Juden, who cure depression by shoving magical AC cords into people and giving them electroconvulsive therapy. I’m just a few sentences into this review and it’s already awkward! In Japanese, Juden or 充電 is a word for “Re-charge”. In German it means “Jews”, which entirely changes the context of the series. It would actually be a better series if it was about magical Jewish psychologists flying around and trying to cure depression. The adventures of Freud-chan and her friends Maslow-chan, Kohlberg-tan, and Adler-chan. Hideaki Anno makes a guest appearance and keeps wanting to interview Freud-chan! Sadly, that’s not what happens.

What happens is an angry guy beating the magical girls to near death with a baseball bat as a feeble attempt at slapstick comedy. However, the physical violence directed at magical girls isn’t what this series is remembered for. For those rare individuals who have seen Juden Chan, the thing they most remember about the series is the pissing. The female characters can’t go 5 minutes without pissing themselves. The weirdest part is that I read the manga in preparation for this review and it doesn’t happen ONCE in the manga! It would appear this addition was entirely the whim of the anime’s director.

The mangaka for Juden Chan was Bow Ditama, most well known for KissxSis. He also wrote the slightly better Mahoromantic Robot Maid. Ditama isn’t the best writer in the world, but he’s NOT the problem here. The problem is the anime’s director, Shinichiro Kimura. This guy is an evil madman! He’s the director of Popotan, which still ranks in the top 10 worst anime I’ve ever seen. He also directed Sleeping with Hinako, which is another piece of shit I’ve reviewed. He took a harmless, stupid ecchi and made it a painfully unfunny, cringe-worthy fetish show. Even if you happened to have a pee fetish, I’d be willing to bet all my money this show still sucks! Despite this being unwatchable garbage, it still got an English dub and DVD release here in the US…in 2016. This anime was made in 2009, but 7 years later Media Blasters purchased it, dubbed it, and released a censored version on Crunchyroll. Mind blowing!

I feel like I lost half my brain cells watching this show. Let’s do some brain exercise! Since this is Juden chan, our topic will of course be piss. Did you know that the UK banned the erotic portrayal of urination in 2014, which makes this anime illegal in the UK? It’s not just peeing on people, but ALL urination. Since “squirting” is over 50% urine, all female ejaculation was also banned by the same law. Most controversially, the law hilariously banned cunnilingus while blow jobs remained legal. These standards were voted on by an all-male council of septuagenarians appointed by noted pig fucker (cough) I mean moral paragon David Cameron. I can’t leave you with just one pee fact! This is Juden Chan damn it! Did you know that with some practice, women can pee much farther than guys? To understand this, we need to consider both human anatomy and physics. The male urethra is 5 times the length of the female urethra. This is important because of the laws of fluid dynamics, which state that the velocity and flow rate of liquid moving through a tube is inversely proportional to length. Also, the male urethra travels through the prostate gland, which impedes flow. While male physiology gives a strong advantage in arm wrestling and running contests, we’re not well suited to pissing contests. Thank you for teaching us Juden Chan!

You may be thinking, “That’s fucking gross! Why would I ever need to know this stuff!” Remember a quote from beloved Juden science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, “Any increase in knowledge anywhere helps pave the way for an increase in knowledge everywhere”

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is the anime I would like to call "Double Standards."

When a shounen (supporting) lead in anime gets physically hurt by a chick, nobody pays any mind to it. It's "played for lulz," considered "ha-ha funny," and "you should shut up about it, you troll."

But when a shounen physically hurts a chick or more, and it's played for the lulz and "ha-ha funny;" then "it's not really funny at all." Because, you know. The Japanese animu industry makes more of the former and rarely focuses on the latter.

Which is sad. Juuden-chan is one of the more original anime I've saw in two decades. And that's saying a lot. Also, the upskirt panty-shots just make the show go down a bit smoother; despite how ridiculous it can get. I'm surprised that nobody had licensed and dubbed this yet.

Seriously, though. If societies could be judged by the themes of their cartoons and Japan allows its anime industry to create works like "MM!", Kodomo no Jikan, Girls Bravo, and even the Clannad franchise; then there's no hope for that country and its people. Nevermind us in the West with Family Guy and South Park.

At first, from the first part of it, It was so confusing. The whole concept of 'charger girls.' which made me a little iffy to continue, but by episode 2 you quite learn to understand what it is.

I found my self...CAPTURED... by the flow, and movement they did. Even the little 'mini' series inside the one that one of the characters comes to adore. I found the drama kept me on the edge of my seat a bit that made me angry when the next one wasn't up on the place I watch it at.

Over all I was VERY pleased with this anime, which, in all honesty, is hard for me to say, because I'm very picky about anime.

This is not for children or people who don't like depressing moments, or anime that sucks you in. Because, believe me, it did to me.

Over all, go watch it. It's fantastic.

Curious as to why? well... you will have to stay tuned next week--just kidding!

Alas, life is worth living people say. Is that true always? i have heard good arguments for both situations. Well, the creator of this anime provides an answer and not only that provides an additional one. His or her line of thinking is that no matter how strong you are to be strong you must be weak at some point. If one has ever been negatively impacted strongly before it can take a while to recover emotionally even then it still won't go all away. cue in the charger girls. Rising to the feat is their job to speed your path into possible greatness. Sure, by law they boost you but it takes a human to find a flaw. Which causes an unexpected greater benefit. What is that flaw? you will have to find out i am not telling :(P.

What i will say is the idea of hidden aliens aiding us in our time of need might be actually true. Ever do a 160 out of nowhere mood wise? ever hear an inner-log voice relay a message that you immediately grasped that upon further review you might not have personally thought if forced too?

I could tickle your fancy but i think you would strongly prefer i let the cute girls do it for you. Alas, i do have one regret i must say. I find my self lost in logical track of mind every time i think back to the joys this anime brought me. This is how i know it was good. Where even though the story has ended i can still see it playing.
