Maburaho was one of the first harem anime I watched back in the 2000s. I just rewatched the whole series and remembered why I enjoyed it in the first place. When I first watched this anime as a teenager, I mostly had a crush on Yuna Miyama, Kazuki's self-proclaimed wife, but I definitely liked Rin Kamishiro and Kuriko Kazetsubaki as well. I like the individual magical girls in this anime as characters and think they work well together. Yes, it's true that Maburaho has a cheesy storyline, but it's a harem anime, so I think it works in that context. As someone watching a y2k anime in 2022, I noticed myself appreciating quite a few of the aesthetic elements present in this anime. I especially enjoyed seeing the art style, fashion, and visual effects of the characters' magic. Although I've since moved on to other kinds of anime since the early 2000s, rewatching Maburaho was nostalgic and fun. 10/10 would recommend Maburaho for anyone looking for a trip down y2k memory lane.
