Moetan currently stands as the lowest rated anime on MAL that I have given this high of a rating to and honestly, it's deserved. This may well be the stupidest magical girl anime in existence (unless you consider Dokuro-chan a mahou shoujo) but that's precisely why I find it so funny. Let's take a look at why this is one of my favorite pieces of trash. Story 4/10 A loli-loving man from a parallel universe gets banished from his world and turned into a duck so that he can help a high school senior that looks half as old as she actually is teach people English byturning into a magical girl. This is the level of stupidity that is so stupid it transcends being stupid and loops back into pure brilliance. Pure. Fucking. Brilliance.

Characters 7/10
The characters were able to make me laugh pretty consistently, it takes a good set of characters to pull off stupid comedy and have it actually be funny. Both the side characters (some of whom are more or less just gag characters) and main characters do well in delivering the show's humor.

Art 5/10
Moetan features low-budget moeblob art and animation. Honestly, I think low budget art can make a comedy funnier when done right, especially a stupid one like this as it adds a further pinch of stupidity to the stupidness with its low-budget-y-ness.

Sound 5/10
Pretty unremarkable but fitting for the show. You also get to hear some Engrish! (actually not half bad compared to the Engrish in some anime, maybe even sometimes good enough to be called English!)

Enjoyment 8/10
This is the only category that matters for a comedy really (well this and maybe characters) and Moetan nailed it here. I laughed my ass off at this show as it continued to be stupid and random in unexpected and hilarious ways. Yes, there are a lot of stupid and random comedies out there and a lot of them aren't funny. To a lot of people, Moetan won't be funny, but for me it just hit that sweet spot as that special kind of trash I really love.

Overall 8/10 (Excellent)
Do you like really stupid comedy (think Aho Girl, Dokuro-chan, Kill Me Baby)? Do you like cutesy magical girl shows? If you answered "yes" to both those questions, watch Moetan. If you answered "yes" to just one, maybe give it a try. If you answered "no" to both questions, this anime isn't worth your time.

As much as I've said "stupid" and "trash" in this review though, I can't stress enough that I really did love this show. There's stupid stupid and brilliant stupid and which is which varies from person to person based on their tastes, but for me Moetan is that brilliant kind of stupid. It definitely ain't for everyone though!
