Majokko Tsukune-chan is a delightful little surreal comedy anime with fantastic comedic timing and an abiding early 2000s style and atmosphere that not only compliments the comedy, but also enhances the nostalgia factor. The story follows the everyday life of Tsukune-chan, a witch who wants to do good in the world, even if she's a little heavy handed about it. The comedy is lightning fast, while still being relatively easy to follow, which makes for a perfect combination. Whether it be her niece that causes a magic explosion any time she sneezes, the ghost of Tsukune-chan's dead familiar haunting her in every episode, or the layabout mayor getting himself caught up in her schemes and plots, this is an anime that had me rolling from start to finish. It absolutely holds up today, and if anyt…

Majokko Tsukune-chan is a 6-episode (technically three as each episode is half-length) comedy directed by Sakurai Hiroaki who did Daa! Daa! Daa!, Kaichou wa Maid-sama, and Kodocha. It also has a storyboard by the famed comedy director Daichi Akitarou, the guy behind Fruits Basket, Kamisama Hajimemashita, Kodocha (again), and Now and Then, Here and There (which isn't a comedy, but hey, it's still famed). It is a comedy that tells the misadventures of a witch called Tsukune-chan and her daily life with all of her friends.
Due to the fact that Majokko Tsukune-Chan is a comedy, fans of action and plot would call it boring, as besides comedy there isn't much to offer. There is no story to speak of, and little continuity between the skits in each episodes. Stuff blows up, but then, a minute lat…

Tsukune-Chan is a kind-hearted witch who goes around trying to assist people in trouble. To put it nicely, she does not do a very good job of it, and often leaves the situation worse than when she arrived, usually with multiple fatalities. This is played for laughs.
The art style is highly reminiscent of 2x2 Shinobuden, except without the fanservice, so that's a plus. Often, the art would switch into a purposely low-budget appearance to add to the surreality of it. Trading out Rie Kugimiya for Haruko Momoi is a wash. Both have the kind of voice that just makes me want to throttle something. I've never heard of any of the other seiyuu.
As for the comedy, well, I had to invent the "Crack is a hell of a drug" tag for this one (and promptly tagged six other shows with it). It's nuts. Half of…

A story about a witch going around and rescuing people is not overall a bad idea, but most of the time stories like that end in disaster. They really need something else in them to keep viewers entertained. Majokko Tsukune-chan has that.
Story
Simple enough to keep up with. Really it's not the overall story that's any good. It's how the anime goes about the story that I found really enjoyable. Rather than helping people Tsukune manages to make things worse for most. She means well, but doesn't seem to realize that her magic actually causes disaster for most people. This actually turns out to be very enjoyable, and kept me laughing from start to finish. Not to mention some of the things in this anime were pretty demented.
Art/Sound
I really liked the art. I liked how cartoon-ish it look…
