This anime has nice visuals and surprisingly weak story that ruins it. It has plenty of references to other anime, plenty of attempts at fanservice, and plenty of attempts at humor. Unfortunately, most of those attempts fail.
Detailed breakdown below:
Story: 3/10.
While the primse isn't horrible, the story eventually forget about the premise completely (and heroine's powers), and large number of references to other anime do not improve it. The issue with references is that in this case they are not fun, feel out of place and the anime being referenced usually is very popular. Supposedly humorous attempts usually fall flat, and the story attempts to shift its mood all over the place. Basically, the events are never convincing or interesting to watch, and it looks like a collection of more…

What would you do if you had all the luck in the world, but only because you'd been leeching the luck and happiness off of the people around you? Well, you'd probably feel at least a little guilty, but you can't help it, right? If there's no way to fix the problem then there's nothing you can do.
This is the way our protagonist Ichiko Sakura approaches her situation, but there is an easy fix for her problem - she just won't take it because she's incredibly selfish. Ichiko herself was one of the main problems I had with the show as it tried desperately to justify her selfishness and make her likeable; if it had left her one-dimensional and unashamedly selfish I think I would've enjoyed the show a lot more, but as it was I hated her as a character and I hated when other characters would give…

Binbougami ga at first appears to be a typical super magical girl genre anime from reading the synopsis or looking at the cover art but that is the last thing it is.
The series has a simple plot but the gem of this series is in its humor and unexpected heart felt moments.
This series will take you on an emotional roller coaster with one second making you laugh so hard you can barely breathe to the next second tearing up for no reason. This series resembles "School Rumble" in a lot of ways.
To summaries in short, if you enjoy a series with random silly humors, a simple plot and something different from the other typical generic series out there then this might be for you.
Pros:
- Humor
- Art / Animation
- Humble amount of fan service (enough to please the guys seeking fan service but…

Binbougami ga!
This is a quick review. Binbougami ga! is simple but great that's it, is as simple as that.
Story
I have seen the concept of a Shinigami or a god of something coming for the MC, because or they want to kill him or want to help the MC, Binbougami is just like that but very well presented, it's a good story but this is comedy and i tend not to take much serious the story on comedy.
Art & Animation
The animation was great, the landscape was very good, the characters were very well detailed and were beautiful to see and it was colorful.
Sound
The sound of this on every aspect is just amazing, i really loved it there's not a flaw for me, the VA, the background music, the OP and the ED everything was outstanding.
Character
The cast of characters were great, they made this real…

“Are You Sure You Haven't Confused Being a God of Flat-Brokeness with Being a God of Flat-Chestedness?”
I literally picked this anime at random from my collection and couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised. Binbougami ga! (Good Luck Girl!) is a pure slapstick, in your face comedic anime with plenty of laughs and morals alike to be explored. It is not meant to be over analyzed or dissected for any means… and can be fervently enjoyed by any anime fan looking to take a break from the serious stuff.
Let’s be honest, I’m not watching this anime for the story. Ichiko Sakura is a seemingly perfect girl who just happens to be so lucky that she virtually absorbs other people’s happiness energy. A “Poverty God” Momiji is sent to earth to restore the imbalance of happiness energy by taking ou…

Ichigo Sakura is a egotistical girl who seems to have it all; beauty, wealth, intellegence, and athleticism. However this imbalance causes those around her to suffer. It's up to Momiji, a poverty god, to put things back into order by sucking Ichigo's happiness energy out of her. Despite her determination, Ichigo won't give up so easily. Now Ichigo has to put up with Momiji's crazy antics and bad luck devices, along with her supernatural lunatic friends.
Good Luck Girl is hilarious supernatural comedy with a bunch of parody jokes thrown in. These parodies include series such as Rosario Vampire, Dragon Ball, One Piece, and many more! The anime doesn't take itself seriously, which is a good thing. It even often makes fun of itself and even anime in general. The story wasn't too serious, but…

Poverty Gods. Gods of Destitution.. Ever heard of them before?
I hadn't. It's ridiculous and you wouldn't think they would be able to actually make a coherent plot that has a moral behind it using them. However, I was positively surprised.
After reading the synopsis I wasn't really excited about starting it and the over the top voice acting and character depiction wasn't that attractive in the first couple of episodes. Give it a chance though and you won't be disappointed.
The ludicrous anime references that vary from Death Note to DBZ will keep you engaged and watching out for the next one. The pacing and flow of the story was enjoyable and allows the viewer to get to know the main characters. The plot is simple but not overly so, together with the well-rounded characters there is…

Binbougami ga! is an anime I've been wanting to watch for a while now, and while I had the time to, I decided 'Why not?' and gave it a look.
As expected from Sunrise, this anime contains a lot of parodies from other anime, such as Prince of Tennis, Death Note, and many many more! Despite all the comedy in it, this anime teaches you a very good life lesson. You might be rich, you might have all the money and fortune in the world, and all the best looks, but if you're arrogant; like in this case the main character Sakura Ichiko is, you will end up all alone with a lot of fake friends who just are there because of your status.
This anime revolves around a girl called Sakura Ichiko who apparently has too much fortune for this world, and she can unconciously suck fortune out of other people,…

Did I just find myself a rare exquisite gem? Or was I just living under a rock when this series aired back in 2012? I honestly don't know why or how I didn't hear of this back then.
I've been watching a bit more titles this 2014 compared to the past couple of years and I've only been inclined to write a review again just THIS once. So I'll keep it sweet and short!
If I had just one word to describe the story, it would be "refreshing". I know that there are tons of titles out there that involve deities but this one just stands on its own. Its lighthearted and even breaks the 4th wall but you can't help but really get into it. And I just love the characters! Most of them, if not all of them anyway. How often do you get a protagonist that would qualify as a high school villain/queen in any…

Hmmm…….
You know, seeing the previews of this show a few months ago, I wasn’t the biggest fan of it.
Then again, as I said in the last review, comedy is a subjective art form and this especially goes into anime. For me, it’s like comedic shows like Sgt. Frog, Panty and Stocking w/ Garterbelt, Squid Girl, & Kill La Kill does better with me than the likes of Baka to Test, Love Hina, B Gata H Kei and Nisekoi. You can say some of them are the same but no…..they’re not.
I can see myself liking it but then again, it does have the annoying eechi show feel to it and I have been getting annoyed with those type of shows and the fact most of them may not be my thing.
Pretty, busty rich girl Sakura Ichiko has been blessed with an inordinate amount of good fortune, so much so that she’s actually…

Binbougami ga! is an action-packed slapstick humor anime that left me in tears and positively brimming with joy and satisfaction of the characters, story and basically everything else the anime had to offer.
There are many parodies included in Binbougami ga! and I'll be honest here, I didn't get many of the parody references but the ones that I have made it special. If you are like me, and won't understand some of the many metaphors and portrayals this anime holds there's no need for disappointment or worry, the original humor, story, characters and their actions substantiates for that.
I particularly loved the voice acting, I think they were perfect especially for Momiji and Sakura, the random exaggerations and exclamations got me good.
The sound effects were not overly-exaggerated and…

When a company or an individual create an anime it comes down to "what am i aiming for?"
The whole point of this anime was to have a story revolving a ungrateful, greedy, and selfish girl that is learning the meaning of sharing, compassion, and friendship.
It does all that while delivering hilarious anime reference and creating funny situations. This has got to be one of the funniest animes i have ever seen and i enjoyed every minute of it!
Like i said, this anime was created to give you great laughs and it does it flawlessly! If you feel like you need a change of pace in what you watch then this anime is perfect.
Nice normal plot with great laughs!

What is something you would spend your 23 minutes on per episode, that'll make you very tired of laughing? The answer is "Binbougami ga!"
Here's a review based on my opinions after completing the anime.
【Story】Rating: 8
Binbougami ga! is not only known for its humour, it also teaches the viewers a lesson in life about sharing, respecting and caring for others rather than being selfish; only thinking about ourselves. It also displays how anything is possible if we look beyond what's there. For example, Ichiko, the well known beauty queen of the class who's perfect at everything, totally self-centred, pretty much you can describe her as a "snob". Well let me say, even she can change into a more caring person with the help of Momiji, the goddess of misfortune and others.

Srry this is my first review so It won't be very good:)) and I'll try not to spoil anything.
I'm gonna write a review this time for the manga and currently running anime, Bindougami ga!. The manga started in 2008 in Jump SQ and the anime is currently airing in the Summer 2012 season.
So far I gotta say this series has been a big surprise. I never took notice of this series until the anime started airing and from the look of the manga's scalation releases, so did most other people. This series is like a small hidden gem that not many people will take notice of.
The story premise is simple. Momiji is a lazy, rude and flat-chested Poverty God who carries bad luck whose mission is to fix the "imbalance" in the world caused by Sakura Ichiko; a girl who is considered blessed in every way, bra…

Ichiko is a rich, beautiful mary-sue of a teenage girl, who is adored by all of the boys of her class–but hated by the females. In short, she’s pretty much the stereotypical bitch, but underneath her apparent superiority-complex, she’s really a lonely child longing for friendship. She also has an excessive amount of “Fortune,” which causes her suck other Fortune energy from those around her. This causes Momiji, a god of misfortune, to try and steal Ichiko’s fortune, and a beautiful love-hate relationship is formed!
Binbougami ga! is a very silly series. In fact, it’s a really stupid series–sometimes in the positive ha-ha kind of stupid, and others times in bad sense of the word. In general it’s one of those shows that allows to simply relax and enjoy it for what it is and not vehemently c…

Well what can I say.. I've watched all episodes and I must confess I rolled on the floor laughing at most of the puns exhibited. Usual comedy series involve someone having a quarrel with another one which escalates into hilarious scenes like throwing him into the atmosphere or hitting someone with a one ton hammer. Binbougami has all this plus the powers of a goddess.. and you know what that means?... it means limitless ideas for pranks jokes as well as other stuff.
Whats there not to like?
It is like a game of cat and mouse. The cat tries to catch the mouse but fails in an amusing way.
It may not be a classical but I believe it can rival Tom&Jerry since the whole idea of the series is to make you laugh.
I sincerely hope you will enjoy this anime and laugh untill you burst into tears an…

Okay~ since the other reviewers have already made almost all points of view regarding this anime (including summary and what they think about the art and everything) so, here's a simple review of mine.
I always regarded Ecchi, Comedy, Parody anime as something to pass the time. For the reasons: 1.) It is hilarious (who doesn't want a good laugh?) 2.) The story is light, not too complicated (like I said, just something to pass the time) 3.) Full of ecchi moments (I know I sound like a perverted old woman) 4.) Also, full of cute moments~
But, this anime, isn't JUST an ecchi, parody or a something-really-hilarious-and-not-too-serious anime~ It is more than that. Comedy-wise, it didn't disappoint me. I find myself laughing hard at all the funny scenes which makes me feel better everyday~ But…

Surely a familiar taste of anime, over the top and crazy. But when you bite into this sundae of madness there is a certain spice about it. That spice is the main protag! If it wasn't for the antagonist, then she'd be stealing the show. Typical 'do-gooder'? Nah. She is probably one of the meanest and most selfish protagonists ever and she makes sure to let those who appall her, give them a reason too. But the main character isn't the only great thing about this show. The other characters are very fun and likable and, over the course of the anime, very very well developed. The only thing I could say that was meh (but still love it regardless), were the myriad of references to other anime. I like being the guy to point out "Holy smokes they just referenced that!", but I do think they overdid…

Dakara one way, two way, three way, four way
Go way! Go way!
Saa you! Make my day!
Sonna muzukashii koto ka?
Saaaa, now "Binbougami ga" has ended, so how do I rate this 13 episode anime?
Here's how:
Story: Good 7. Ok, so this anime's genre which is compose of comedy, parody and supernatural are a good combinations, the story completely revolves around the parody which is good. I really like the way where the Momiji tries but fails to get Ichiko's good luck energy to put balance in the world, it kind reminds me of a certain situation in the "Road Runner's show" (Beep, Beep) where Wile E. Coyote would always try to make the speedy Road Runner (Beep,Beep) his meal. But compare to that old cartoon this one has that thing where Momiji would almost succeed but failed again to get Ichiko's g…
