Review of Majikoi: Oh! Samurai Girls

Seriously... I loved this anime (pun intended). I gave it a 7 overall because I could write pages of things that were wrong with it, but it gets high marks in the enjoyment category, and sometimes that's all that matters. One word sums up this series... Ridiculous. There are so many ridiculous moments in this series that make it so great. Thanks to so much ridiculousness this series has high repeat value. At only 12 episodes I know I'll be seeing it a few more times. The synopsis really doesn't tell you anything about the story. It may be the synopsis for the visual novel orthe manga, but it didn't prepare me for the anime at all. The first episode is a jumble of comedy and action, but then it goes into slice of life character driven moments that are filled with dirty jokes and lots of fun starting in episode two. A story is thrown in there and is wrapped up at the end, but it's a mediocre story at best. It's all about the characters, and it's all about their relationships with each other.

The main male character was the weakest fighter, and the girls have all the brawn. He's the Bosley and the five main girls are his Charlies Angels. They take all sorts of odd jobs for various reasons through the school, and it's a crazy ride to follow. I don't know if I would want to go to a school like that, but it was interesting to see their daily life if even just a little.

The comedy is great in this series. Forget sexual innuendos, we're talking sex jokes and plenty of them. They don't shy away from making constant bold statements. Frankly, it was refreshing and I laughed pretty frequently. It really is a fun series to watch and I highly recommend it. It has good artwork, good music, and it's filled with all sorts of fun. Definitely worth checking out.
