Seizei Ganbare! Mahou Shoujo Kurumi

Seizei Ganbare Mahou Shoujo Kurumi is a parody of the Mahou Shoujo genre and consists of short almost completely joke filled episodes. It is very episodic and it doesn’t have much of a story beyond magical girls fighting monsters.

I found the voice acting to be surprisingly good for this kind of show. Visually the show reminds me of cheap kid shows, with its bright colors and bad animation; although it has some fairly brutal scenes. Personally I really enjoy that style and it fits the show well.

Most of the comedy consists of making fun of the common tropes of the Mahou Shoujo genre and how ... brutal the magical girls are when fighting the monsters. In fact, the majority of the show consists of these three guys commenting on the brutal and ridiculous events that are happening in front of them.

I am a big fan of the Mahou Shoujo genre and I think the jokes are generally really clever and point to stupid tropes in the genre that I never reflected on before.

Seizei Ganbare Mahou Shoujo Kurumi is a comedy parody of Mahou Shoujo (Magical Girl) Genre.

There are 3 reasons to watch this anime:

1. This anime is only 4 minutes per episode, so u basically wont lose that much time watching this anime. Tbh i actually love short anime, like Teekyuu and Saiki Kusuo. As they always straight to the points, and no pointless scene.

2. This anime has absurd wacky style of comedy, my favorites kind of humor. Its kinda similar to Nichijou and Senyuu style of comedy.

3. Well i just love cute loli anime. And Azuchimomoyama is damn cute.
... Story/Plot:
Each episode plot is usually about something silly happens in the beginning, then silly monster appears and introduce itself, and ended with the monster destroyed in silly way. Yeah everything in this anime is silly and wacky, as this anime has absurd wacky comedy style similar to Teekyuu and Senyuu. Oh, and there are always trio guys, Azuchimomoyama's schoolmates who doing funny tsukkomi in the background.

Characters:
Azuchimomoyama Kurumi: She is Prima Angel Pink, and the primary mc. She is pictured as silly cute girl, and the one who doing the magical girl parody the most. She uses all kind of gory weapons to destroy the monster, like Thorn Staff, Saw Blade, and Morning Star. She is over all just so funny, and the one who carries this show.

Sangenshoku Mizugi: She is Prima Angel Blue. She wears glasses and looks like a shy bookworm girl. In episode 9 Azuchimomoyama coerces her to become a Prima Angel. She uses sword and knife as weapons.

Yushuehima Mikan: She is Prima Angel Orange. She has short hair and speak in Kansai accent. She mysteriously appears in episode 10, without any introduction beforehand. She uses all kinds of guns and pistols as weapons.

Trio Tsukkomi:
Isamu (red clothes): He is usually the ones who got captured by enemy and the one who wants to see Azuchimomoyama's panties the most. He usually gives positive exaggerated tsukkomi.
Kiyoshi (blue clothes): He is the one who usually gives neutral tsukkomi.
Shigeru (yellow clothes): He is the one who wore glasses and looks like the most intelligent of the trio. He usually gives negative critic tsukkomi.

Art and Sounds:
This anime has nice pastel colors animation. Everything in this anime is designed to look somehow cutes, even the monsters.
The Opening Song of this anime is pretty awesome. It is so catchy. I am not bored and truly never skip the OP in each episodes I watch.
The Ending Song are just silly weird song sung by the trio tsukkomi. Well, it is pretty funny if you listen once in a while. But you might get bored easily if you listen it in every episodes.

Enjoyment:
Yeah I enjoy this anime very much. Even I got truly sad when the subtitler stops releasing the subtitles after episode 9 for several months. I try watching this anime in the youtube with youtube auto-translator, but the result is horrible. Well, what I want to say is, I truly damn love this anime, as much as I love Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan and Senyuu..

Overall: This is awesome short anime. It is truly funny but still has a great concept. I truly recommend you to watching it. But try not to binge it as you will get bored easily that way. Try to watch like max 3 episodes per day, so you can appreciate this anime, and won't get bored too.

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.
