AniWorthOmishi Mahou Gekijou: Risky★Safety
Introduction
An apprentice shinigami (Japanese Death God), Risky, is determined to take Moe's life. However, Risky is magically joined with an apprentice angel, Safety, so Risky turns into Safety whenever someone says something nice. As an apprentice shinigami can only take someone's life when that person is really depressed, Risky has quite a problem taking Moe's soul, while dealing with Safety, who often cheers Moe up.

A common concept in Japanese media is the concept of "Gaiden", it is usually translated as "side-story" or "spin-off", but the philosophy behind it is deeper, being a concept that accommodates multiple stories about a certain media that don't necessarily line-up in a necessarily or that might even contradict one another.
I suppose that it is because of being used to "Gaiden" that Japanese audiences might've been more open to the idea of adaptations of manga that largely alter their source materials, being pretty much original works some times.
Risky Safety is one such case.
The original manga (Or, at the very least, the first three chapters, which was all I could find) seems to be a collection of short (One-chapter long) stories (Indeed, Omshi's, the author, magical theater) whose element…

I won’t say I don’t like Risky Safety. It was fine. It’s just that this anime is just kind of like any other light-hearted slice of life show. Sure, there’s stuff about love, jealousy, and depression, but it doesn’t consume the story enough to actually make it a big part of the story. If anything, it’s subtext.
Basically, Risky Safety is just yet another light-hearted comedy anime with a few more emotional or darker themes thrown into it.

Oh wow, this was really good. Before I start a more in depth-review, I'll say this: if you have any emotions in you, go watch this. Your emotions will thank you.
Now then.
Risky / Safety is basically about an apprentice shinigami named Risky and an apprentice angel named Safety who share the same body (which is 13cm tall). Risky is present when the person they're in tune with emotionally is sad, and Safety is there when he or she is happy. Moe, a slightly insecure junior high girl, is this person for most of the series even though they go off on random tangents in the form of odd stories sometimes. Stuff happens and things get weird but in the end it does come back to the main point.
So when I first saw this and read the synopsis, I thought "oh it's like Shinigami no Ballad + Shakugan n…
