Loved it; would rewatch; would recommend.
It might just be because it's been a long time since I've seen an anime set in high school, but I really enjoyed what this show had to offer. I went into it thinking it would offer a perspective on gender identity issues, which honestly made me hesitant based on worries that it would come off like an unwanted sermon. While it does touch on such issues, it never felt like I was being talked at. Heck, it might have been a more interesting story had it gone deeper into the gender issues.
Rather than get stuck on the gender issues, the episodes usually feel like hanging out with a bunch of misfits who turn out to be pretty fun. I love the main character, Megumi Amatsuka. She can be rough and tough at times, or elegant and gentle at other times. She's…

good show, great openings, Megumi is BAE, adaption missed the mark, especially at the end.
decent OST, though some tracks have a doom/gloom feel, one in particular sounds like bad campy tv drama lol. Both openings are super solid, make sure to check them out on youtube to get people turned on to this story please, thank you!
not the most trope free or complex characters, but the cast is charming. Megumi in particular is amazing.
plot is engaging enough, if you're curious to know what Megumi's fate ends up as.
~~speaking of, if you're reading this, most important take away if you haven't watched Cheeky
Angel:[ READ THE MANGA FIRST]. the ending arc has real danger and legitimate suspense, and the conclusion is great. the anime loses serious points from me because they dull down the dang…

my only romance anime as i remember, i dont actually watch this kind of anime but since this is one of my childhood anime that was aired( watched some episode) and on my college days i decided to finished it and im glad i did.
all i can say about this anime is very funny and romance is great you will never regret watching this esp. if you love romance (from a non romance fans of anime hehe). ost is also great one of my favorite song and always on my playlist. well some of reviewers here dont like the art style but i think that art style bring life to comedy. story is great other than romance anime (weird but not in a badway because people dont like the idea of how the main character true _____ .).

Ah, Cheeky Angel. This is one of my favorite anime, but I must admit a little bit of a love-hate relationship with it. Perhaps the most extensive gender-bender anime of them all, it truly delves deeply into exploring what it means to be a woman or a man. Even factoring out my personal fascination with the subject matter, Cheeky Angel stands on its own merits with good humor, surprisingly well-developed romance, and daily situations that should please any slice-of-life fan. And yet, it is also has easily the worst artwork and character designs I have ever seen. If you can use your imagination and get past the terrible visual quality, underneath lies an adventure worth spending 50 episodes on.
Despite being so beautiful strangers will stop in the street and stare at her, the main character…

First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile.

✦Story
Wanted to rant regarding gender bender, but because of how story goes. It becomes irrelevant so I will mention only 1 thing regarding gender bender. There are 2 types of them. In one of them gender is bent truly, which means character/person mind, soul, body, mentality becomes fully woman. Other is kind of a temporal acquisition of body for exploration I guess. Anyhow moving to actual story section of "Tenshi na Konamaiki"
I found the story of this anime was quite enjoyable. It had fair amount of progression and actually some development relationships. Another bonus is that this anime had fair amount of interesting plot points and backgrounds of various characters. I…

i hate this show so much. so much. i put it aside after 15 episodes because of how bad it was. i only kept watching because i really liked megumi as a character. i'm glad i did! because i also love this show a lot lol.
i honestly don't even remember much about the first 15 episodes due to how long it has been since i've watched them. maybe they weren't so bad, but they probably weren't that good either lmao. i just remember being really disgusted. i think it was pointless. i didn't really care one way or another. and it was disgusting. i don't know.
i think i got serious about finishing once keiko was introduced. i love horror. i really do. so i guess that's why. i was positively surprised that they kept bringing that atmosphere back... i never expected to get something enjoyable out of…

Tenshi na Konamaiki, or Cheeky Angel, may be an older series lacking in animation, but it is a lot more enjoyable than many contemporary series. Warning: this review is long.
Story: 6
I admit, the story was disappointing. I was expecting it to be darker and more complex than it turned out to be. I wanted to know so much more about the magic book, but the anime seemed to give up on that halfway through and we don't really see the genie again. There are countless plot holes littered throughout, and the magical aspect of Megumi's situation is left unexplained. The ending is ambiguous, which may be the best way to close this anime, as we can interpret for ourselves the heroine's past and her real gender. I do wish we had gotten closure on what exactly the genie did to Megumi's memory, though.…

Did you know it takes only three to five seconds for someone to form a first impression?
Actually my first impression for tis anime is not that good. After watching first 5 episode here is my thought "the art look so old fashion, the music sound so classical and i wonder if this anime is worth watching. Plan to drop it,
and then i give 2nd chance to myself and continue watching episode 5,6,7,8 and as a consequence i CANOT STOP watching until episode 50. The story start to develop/expand, become more and more interesting after one another. Every episode is so ADDICTING !!You will become absorb to the story line till the last episodes(tats why i rate 10 for story).
In the end, im shouting to myself, dont judge book by its cover!!This is really a good anime with strong storyline and i want…

Review of Tenshi na Konamaiki
Genre: Magic, Romance, Comedy
Story: 8/10
[+] The plot is slightly unique, I rarely have seen gender bender animes which has a good premise and this anime is one of these.
[+] This series will make you laugh out loud a lot of times and has a good number of episodes too.
[+] The pacing is good, at least for me.
[+] It has a respectable ending which wraps up almost everything. [-] Small plot hole. There's something wrong with the villains in the story, if they can use bombs why not use guns?
Art: 5/10
[+] Animation gradually gets better throughout the series.
[-] Animation is mediocre at its best. I was thinking of dropping this series after watching episode 1. The character designs especially the details of the face is just horrible, the eyes are uneven at…

Where do I even begin… This anime is just pure brilliance, if I would have to describe it in one word. The whole plot is amazing as well. Actually, it’s a funny story how I even stumbled upon this anime. There’s a screen cap of this anime that was circling around tumblr a while ago, and I just kind of got interested in the anime based on that.
~Story~
The story is about a 15-year-old girl Megumi, but she claims that she used to be boy and that a little demon who came out of a magic book turned her into a girl, though other people have trouble believing it since Megumi is breathtakingly beautiful and feminine; hence the nickname Angel. So, according to Megumi she was 9-years-old when the event had taken place and her best friend Miki was also there with her. Megumi’s ‘’protection group’’…

I hope this summary is more interesting and persuading to influence you to watch:
Basically about a girl who's such a beautiful women, she moves into a new school, a new place full of delinquents. All the guys and girls falls for her. Later on, she has her own fan club. Everyone in the fan club wants to protect her. Later on, she meets one of the most famous dangerous delinquent of the town. Everyone fears him. Later on, she beats him up after she witnessed him hurting a girl. In the end, she falls in love with her, and decides to join her fan club. Storyline: Was perfect, I loved it. It was original and different. Not much anime involves gender reverse.
Art: The art is old style/classic. Its made back in the 2000's, what else do you expect? But! Like they always say, Never JUDGE a cove…

Tenshi na Konamaiki is certainly a one of a kind. This anime has an amazing storyline. Some of us may question what happens if a male suddenly becomes a female. This anime highlights both strengths and weaknesses of being a man or woman, whilst telling a good story of Megumi and how she gets on with daily life.
Watching this anime has been very enjoyable, with the comedy that makes you laugh ever so often and the sweet storyline that keeps you watching it.
The artwork cannot be seen as new, however the artwork does not influence the good story of an anime. I personally think that the artwork of this anime is great.
My only criticism is that to get a better understanding of the events in Tenshi na Konamaiki, you may need to read the last few chapters of the manga for answers.
Other than th…

This anime is very well made and thoroughly enjoyable. It is unadulterated by fan services and cliches of this age anime, even a kiss is cleverly concealed. I guess for that age it was proper. Its not totally free from cliches but it doesn't heavily reply on them. It still remains enjoyable solely on story and characters and plots. the anime doesn't ask much from the viewers, it doesn't ask for us to keep our brains at a corner to enjoy it. Somehow without compromising on this the story hooks you on despite being a comedy.
The story revolves around a group of guys who have come together to on common pretext that they appreciate and are totally in love with a girl however there is a catch, the girl was actually a boy and was made into a girl because of an evil gene. This pretext is simple…

This anime was quite enjoyable. The story line was interesting, and well developed. The characters were endearing, strong and cool. It was nice that Megumi's friends covered the whole gammit of stereotypes in Japanese culture..
The animation was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I liked the OP & ED songs- they were catchy. What really shined in this series was the characters, as I mentioned they fit stereotypes, but even still they all evolved and developed into more noble characters as the series progressed. Overall, a very good series that I'd recommend to anyone who likes romance, comedy and action.

What can I say here. It is a true CLASSIC
The anime hooked me since the first episode and it never failed to make me really happy to have started waching it! The plot seems a bit weird at the begining but when you enter the story it is a roller coaster of funny episodes laced with nice situations regarding all characters around Megumi, the boy turned into a girl that everybody loves.
It all displaying a really nice art and animation, even though it is from the time it was done purelly by cells without the modern computer generated art. Gorgeous and well done it displays a masterpiece in animation as well as voice characterizations
With 50 episodes, not a single one is boring or out of place, with no fillers and those boring episodes just to stall a series until it runs its predetermine…

My honest opinion is very high on this anime. it is really well made but has a small problem, if you see it until the end you will have (almost sure) a question. "Should she/he be a girl or a boy". Tough question if you ask me . But in general it is a good anime where you will have plenty of time to have a good laugh. In the firsts episodes you will understand the difficult life a boy transformed in a girl can have. To be honest this is my first review so don't be to hard on this. And hope you like it

Tenshi Na Konamaiki is a show about a beautiful girl named Megumi Amatsuka. She's so gorgeous, in fact, that some people even call her an "angel" (hense: Tenshi). But behind the pretty face lies a shocking secret: Megumi used to be a boy!
When Megumi was nine years old, (s)he came across a magic book with genie inside it. When Megumi, a rough and tumble elementary school boy, wished to be "the manliest man in the world" the tricky genie granted his wish backwards! Megumi transformed into a woman, and everyone around her seemed to forget she had ever been a boy at all. The only ones who remembered her past life as a male were herself and her best friend, Miki Hanakain.
Now, six years later, Megumi is a gorgeous High school student whose still stuck on being a boy. She's loud, rude, violen…
