Introduction
After an unfortunate accident, completely normal heterosexual high school student Kouta Shibaki is branded as the school pervert. With girls avoiding Kouta like the plague, truly the young man's worst nightmare has come to fruition! One day in the school library, he stumbles upon a peculiar book said to possess the power to summon witches. Partly out of desperation, partly out of boredom, Kouta decides to play along with the joke of a book, until an apprentice witch going by the name of Rurumo Maji Mojiruka appears before him. In an unusual turn of events, Kouta ends up helping Rurumo with some general witchery tasks in exchange for his soul being spared.
Majimoji Rurumo follows the misadventures of Rurumo as she attempts to persuade Kouta to use 666 magical wish-granting tickets in her efforts to become a fully-fledged witch, unaware that every time she grants a wish, Kouta's life is shortened. Aided by Rurumo's familiar Chiro, Kouta must decide between helping Rurumo or saving his own life.

You know what’s awesome? This anime is a masterclass in dark humor and satirical genius. It’s not just about a guy who sells his soul to a witch for 666 wishes it’s about how absurd the whole premise is, and how flawed the characters are, but that’s exactly what makes it fun. The pervert trope isn’t a weakness; it’s a delight.
The anime uses its own absurdity to mock the worst of the worst tropes like the holy grail of fantasy, the moral failing of the protagonist, and the cursed wishes that always land on explicit requests. It’s like watching a moral compass in a moral decay but with 9/10 laughs.
The writing is sharp, the visuals are darker than you’d expect, and the absurdity is unforgettable. It’s not just a review it’s a cultural commentary wrapped in a satirical package. You’ll be l…

Alas, Majimoji Rurumo one more in the list of those anime that squander potential.
That is not to say that this anime is terrible. In fact, I found it quite enjoyable. However, it is not a balanced anime, and it ignores its strengths in exchange for staying within the safety net of the same old tropes. Both times I have watched this series, I have had to strain my senses so as to not lose the golden thread that runs through the mud. That golden thread is all that can be seen of what could have been a great romance story about love across boundaries between two characters who are both awkward for different reasons.
The serious interactions between Rurumo and Kouta are few and far between, and they are the only moments that really made me feel like the story was progressing. In between the…

TL;DR: Short review didn't up as short as wanted. Majimoji Rurumo is a fun anime that is undoubtedly average when it comes to its story, art, sound, and character development. Despite that, it all comes together into a fun romantic-comedy that I would easily recommend for fans of this genre. (7.5/10)
Unlike the reviews that I have done before this one and Witch Craft Works are going to be the very categorized fashion that focuses on each category (story, art, sound, and characters) in a dissociated fashion. I will only be talking about overlaps when I think it is necessary. The reason for this departure from my long form reviews (that you probably could use in an anime review itself with a bit of sprucing up to entertain viewers) is because I find both Rurumo and Witch Craft Works to be g…

So much goes to waste in this anime.
While I understand that there's really not much to go off of, the problems of this show are still obvious. The pacing is weird, characters suddenly pop in and out, and a lot of plot points are buried in the easy-going rhythm of the show.
The females dialogue all sound like background characters who don't even have names, the club the MC is in didn't even name two of the three characters in it, the MC has a little brother with like three lines in the entire show that I forgot about for like six episodes, and one of the characters on the cover art only shows up in one episode. Also the leading heroine (rurumo) doesn't really stand out. I wanted to see more of a connection between the two main characters, but there wasn't enough until near the end. The sh…

So a guy gets a bunch of tickets, which make a certain loli witch, that now lives with him, make his wishes come true. The only catch is, when he uses all the tickets, he will die, but the witch does not actually know that....add to the mix that the anime is about a perverted schoolboy and you will get a rather generic, but at times fun slice of lify anime.
There is really not much to this anime. The jokes are usually the cliche over the top and perverted ones. Nothing really significant happens at all, and there is a beach episode, just to show how much of an average, cliche anime this one is.
I am still not going to lie and will say, that this anime can be a bit funny sometimes and can be a bit touching sometimes. Still the humour can be rather tasteless and generic and the characters…

Laohoam- Enjoyed it over all, but the character and plot development was a little weak. It was cute and funny so it was still good, and I would recommend
-Ras- "........."
Dr R-Dash, I enjoyed the anime at the beginning with the exciting story of a pervy boy having to be responsible for once in his life there was a few parts that made me laugh in each episode and begin to have hope that this hopeless boob fetish guy would turn out nice but it got altered a bit ... but over all its a cute fan boy :3.
Tadgh: I really liked the way this anime was drawn and I thought it was funny. The fan service was over the top sometimes and unnecessary. I seem to be the only one in our group that thought there was a decent story. I like it, but the boob action could be toned down.

This was nice but it's nothing to write home about, just your standard slightly above average show.
Kouta Shibaki is your cliché hormonal teen who only thinks about girls and Rurumo is your cliché outsider who has hardly any idea of how the world works. Premise is Kouta summons the witch Rurumo and accidentally strikes a bargain where in he is given a pair of girls pants in exchange for his immortal soul.
After warming up to him a bit Rurumo refuses to take his soul and is punished by being forced to grant any wish Kouta desires.
Now I wouldn't blame you if you thought this sounded like the build up to a really perverted anime but it's really tame with a focus on the characters and not on fanservice, it's on AT-X but it's totally PG-13.
Rurumo and her familiar Chiro are the best part o…

Another, summer anime that involves magical girls has just ended and it is time for me to make a review of this 12 episode anime. So, like I've said it was another one of those anime that involves magical girls, in this case it involves witches, whose typical concepts were modified to fit the Japanese fanbase, basically it is like "Witch Craft Works" except that there isn't that action genre present in it, though it doesn't have the same romance genre it, but I ain't gonna push through co'z this isn't the part for it.
For the story, I give a fair score since one would be annoyed with the plot where a naive witch meets lusty boy kind of thing where witch was suppose to make lusty boy make a wish and take his life (of not without the ticket that the guy has) instead it turns out to be a wi…

You know what? Why not. I'll spend some time to write up my opinion on this show. And since there isn't much to it, it's going to be short.
Majimoji Rurumo is... nice. That's it. It's a nice, relaxing series with an overall... soft tone to it. There is some fanservice but really, it's nothing too severe compared to other J.C. Staff anime such as To aru Majutsu no Index or Hentai Prince.
I've literally given everything about this show a rating of 7/10. That seems like the perfect number for this series. I don't mean that in a bad way.
It's hard to badmouth this series if you understand what it's aiming for.
Rurumo is a light-hearted series about a boy who meets a witch. It's really just an episodic series based on their daily life together. That's it. And actually, it's pretty calming…

Majimoji Rurumo is a very lopsided piece of work. It would be a terrible show if not for the presence of Rurumo herself.
Majimoji Rurumo is a very corny show. They way each episode is laid out is painfully predictable and trite, always ending with Rurumo showing emotions at the end and learning what it is like to enjoy herself. These scenes have very little emotional impact since you saw them from a mile away, and the slow and emotional music only makes you want to look away from how cheesy everything is.
All the characters in the show are bland and 2-dimensional. The main character is the typical "nice" pervert, his friends (who could all be lumped into one character) are also perverts, there is a boob girl, another boob girl, a tsundere, and so on. Because the show is centered just on…

First of all, let me start by saying this is quite an underrated anime.
Yes, this anime is actually quite slow-paced, and has quite some cliched episodes and moments that you would find in a slice-of-life and romance series, but what really caught on to me, especially in the later episodes, is how compatible the op and ed are with the scenarios in the episodes. It is actually quite interesting to see the many sides of the main 2 characters and see how their relationship progressed.
Story- wise, it's not amazing, and quite cliched at times, but the presentation was well-delivered.
Art-wise, normal.
Sound-wise, I really love and op and ed, and some osts.
Character-wise, it's great to see the main characters get developed, with bits and pieces of some characters' pasts and what each char…

I really wanna read the manga, but only the first like 4 or 5 chapters are translated to English.
Story: 8/10- This story is about a pervert who's in this supernatural club of other boys who are also perverts. One day they decide to summon a witch, but in the end thinking it doesn't work. BUT it does, and she does come, Rurumo. And Shibaki gets a wish granted, which is a pair of panties. And many things happen after that in which Shibaki and Rurumo are bond together under a "contract."
Things are cliche, like the witch outfit and having her familiar being a black cat. In the beginning you realize it's a little "ehh." Shibaki is basically your classic pervert who likes to look under skirts and flips them so he can see the panties. He likes porn, that has been made clear. And this might…
