Urara Meirochou is what one would call an "underrated" show. Sure, it might not be anything revolutionary, ground breaking, or too out there for what the industry has to offer, but it does not need to be. The people who might bring these points up when watching this anime are losing the point on what Urara Meirochou tries to be to begin with: a cute light-hearted show about cute girls doing cute things on their daily life. And what for it is worth, it delivers on its promises.
With a memorable cast of characters, an eye-watering color palette, relaxing traditional setting and pretty funny and wholesome yuri and fan-service moments Urara Meirochou does right almost everything it proposes itself to do. The story, in my eyes, is also remarkable given the tipe of anime this actually is. It ha…

Urara Meirochou is... Fine. It's mediocre, but not really the bad kind. That's about the best I can describe this series. It wasn't bad at all, but I didn't really think it was amazing or even good either. It was fun enough as a series to just pass the time with, without it actually feeling like a waste. But it also didn't really leave much of an impact on me.
The characters are enjoyable to watch, though I think they can be a bit too annoyingly quirky and cheesy sometimes. The art is pretty good, and the sound design is decent. Barely anything I can really complain about in these aspects.
The thing I liked the most about this series is the premise of its story. Urara that can divine information by lending powers from gods/spirits that do not want to be seen. Interesting to say the least…

While the show itself isn't any technical spectacle, (not uncharacteristic of a slice of life comedy), the storytelling is enough to draw you in alongside the carefree cast of characters. Even with as lighthearted as the show is, you're never left feeling that the main characters will be untouchable in any given trial.
A personal thing to note; I was absolutely blown away by just how grand and awe-inspiring this show's soundtrack is. I 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 want to emphasize the show's instrumental compositions. It's a rarity to hear music that brings about so much feeling and wonder when you hear it, and even when unpaired with the show and listened to by itself, the music upholds its worth valiantly.
Despite its simplistic visual style, the characters really create a pleasing show to watch.

In the end, this is a "cute girls doing cute things" show at its core, nothing will change that and since most of us are veterans, we know what to expect and what not to expect from a show like that, saving us unnecessary annoyance when it lacks things shows like these doesn't offer.
It has a mediocre, average story at best, it's nothing special, there's this labyrinth city where everyone(only females there) wants to become "urara"(probably from the word "uranaisha/uranaishi" which means diviner, fortuneteller, soothsayer etc) and that's pretty much what it's about, they want to become able to divine things using the many different gods, so we have a plethora of different systems, from kokkuri and star divining to tea reading and crystal balls. The main point is the ability to divine stuf…

NOTE: this review is for my own personal use only. i've noticed after a while, i forget why i rated a show highly or poorly, so i'm going to write reviews after completing each series so i can reference them in the future.
urara meirochou started off as a comfy "cute girls doing cute things" show, but my eyes quickly dulled after each episode had to have a bonding event. each and every episode had to have one character feel alone or out of place and then it has to end with someone crying and everyone saying "we'll do it together" or some bullshit like that. the whole "friends give me strength" thing is fine, albeit overused, but it was just so dumb and cheesy.
towards the end, we started to get some sprinkling of an underlying story, but of course it ends on a cliff hanger and refuses ta…

An anime of enjoyment and comedy, with some slice of life is such a great combination. In Urara Meirochou it shows great friendship with 4 girls that overcome problems together. A girl named Chiya goes to Labyrinth Town when she is at the age of 15, this young girl is friendly, outgoing with a strong heart that makes people smile around her, even though there are times she does make a phew problems. The absolute reason I liked this anime is because of the warm and cute friendship 4 girls show all throughout the episodes, especially when Chiya is making a ruckus and they are caught in it. The characteristics of the other girls are Nono who is shy, caring and putting her friends before herself, Koume who likes teasing her friends, but doesn't like seeing them sad/depressed and then lastly Ko…

It feels good to watch the CGDCT genre (cute girls doing cute things) at the end of the day, after life punching you in the face.
As expected, the plot isn't a big thing, but it's comfortable to see these girls always having fun, always putting friendship in a high position along the episodes. The overcoming of Hinako talking to people is great, btw.
They also did a good job in art, all traces are beautiful and symmetrical, aesthetic goals.
In the general context, I'd recommend this anime if you don't want to worry about heavy plot or really deep characters.
(characters may be a little bit sexualized, but if wasn't like this, probably wasn't anime)

I came into this with high hopes, Even with the mediocre score rating of 7.17. I was really surprised by how much i enjoyed it to be honest. I feel that the score isn't near to what this deserves.
I heard this compared a couple times to Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon. I find it kind of unfair to compare them sense they both are different from each other with the only thing in common is Cast of Girls, Magical elements and that Art style is kind of similar. But if i were to compare them i don't think Kobayashi is as good as Urara Meirochou. I do enjoy Kobayashi a good amount. It used to be my only 10 rated show. But lately after further inspection i lowered it down to a 9 then just recently a 8. Only real thing i'd say Kobayashi has over this is that it uses a lot more adult humor and doe…

This anime was surprisingly enjoyable. The characters were all cute, funny and interesting, with the main character, Chiya, being especially good. Chiya really brings all the characters together and is one of the best characters ive seen in a while. The show's cute character designs and art style, paired with the amazing opening and ending song really make the anime that much more enjoyable.
The only flaw in the anime would have to be the story. While it is very intriguing, it is far from finished. The show really grabs the attention of the viewer and makes them want to find out how the story unfolds. Sadly though it seems to be about 1/10th done with the story and the original material is still publishing so it's really disappointing. The anime does have a good ending, which is enough t…

Seriously Urara Meirochou is cataloged as an anime "Seinen"? WTF? This Seinen has nothing,it seems more a comedy a little fun with Lolis and Shoujo ai.
The story of a group of friends who live in a city full of women (seriously no men) where they sought to become a kind of witch guessing known as "Urara" to achieve their different personal goals. It's actually simpler than it sounds.
The art is not bad, the characters are similar to Manga, although they abuse much of the miniatures in certain parts, but it is not something that greatly affects the story.
I found the Sound Very good, not because its opening and ending are very good (they are regular, repetitive and sticky songs), but because it has the background sounds suitable for the comedy that is.
About the characters the most outs…

Story:
Doesn't really have a story here, is just bunch of cute girls doing cute things to entertain us!
Art:
Very pleasing to look at, the girls are all kawaii enough to make you ***. I also quite like the color scheme of the overall show
Sound:
An above average soundtrack, won't buy it with real cash but will definately listen to it sometime
Character: All 4 girls have a pretty simple background, it doesn't go too deep or too sad! Some people might not like that but I'm fine with that since the story isn't really there anyway
Enjoyment:
Very enjoyable!! Is kinda like watching a bunch of kids just running around and doing funny things
Overall:
If your just searching for an anime to watch and giggle, you should not really think any further! The art and color scheme just did justice t…

I'm not going to go too into depth with this review, I'll just put my thoughts down for this. Of course, there will be spoilers, but I'll try to keep them as vague as possible.
I thoroughly enjoyed this anime, and felt that it was an adorable anime, with adorable characters, doing adorable things. The romance ships were there and the ending even supported some of them, and it had so much potential for a serious plot while remaining carefree and soft.
However, the end of this anime has left me wanting so much more, but NOT in a good way. They started with the premise of an adorable show with a lot of character development, with a potential for a serious story in the background, then discarded all of that for a slice-of-life show for most of the series. It remembered the story that had s…

MC , Chiya , went on a journey to find her mother at a place for Urara only. Urara means that some kind of priest.
There is nothing remarkable for songs/songtracks... won't leave deep impression but i guess is fine...
The voice actors did well too <3 No cringe at all. Will be a fun experience.
There are basically 4 mcs but mostly focus on Chiya and 12 episodes is not really enough to spot much character development. But have lines like in any shounen series , "Don't give up.... Follow your dream.... as long as we are together we are fine....." But its worth it because cute voices will be saying them.
Their achievement is that they ranked up 1 level. From rookie to newbie.
Personally , i enjoy it a lot because it is really cute and refreshing to watch. Not really moe moe compared to kan…

Intro
Urara Meirocho is based off a rather short manga panel series and is a comedy/supernatural genre manga. The combination of having both comedy and supernatural within a manga series I felt was rather unique why was why I decided to give this series a try. I have not read the original source material that this anime is adapted from but after watching this im interested to read it.
Story and setting
Urara’s story is a fantasy world that looks similar to a fantasy version of ancient Japan with the story’s theme being divination. The story is largely set in the town of Meirocho that is more well known as the Labyrinth town. Within the town are many diviners that are both divided by their skill level and by their divination practices with each rank of urara as the diviners are called b…

At first glance, some people might think this anime is the same as any other of it's genre, but they couldn't be more wrong if they tried, this series is unique and we probably won't have something as good as this in a long time, and this is why:
Let's start with the less remarkable part for me, the art, sure the show had high production values, that's expected from J.C. Staff, but it did nothing to make the art, well, outstanding, it was just there. The art of the manga is by far superior, so that's a good reason to read the manga after finishing the anime.
But the art is the only thing I can say has flaws in this show.
The story. For starters, this show has a story, a plot, a main goal the cast of girls want to achieve and individual goals each of them have (besides all of them wantin…

Why do you watch anime? Think about it for a second. We all have our own reasons to consume media. Different people will have different reasons but at the end of the day each of us has our own reason for watching anime. While entertainment is the main point of media like anime, for me it's more than just that. There are many things that I can do that are entertaining. For example shitposting is entertaining. But is it fulfilling? No, not really. Video games can be entertaining (Although they've fallen out of favor for me.), so if entertainment was the goal why not play one of those. For me, that would be board games. I love the challenges and strategies that are present in board games, and I personally find them entertaining. So if entertainment is the goal, then why anime specifically?

Urara Meirochou. Alright, you're a moe blob anime, what's your gimmick this time? Let's see here... Set in a town of 10 districts... Divination... Gods and spirits...? And...lots of yuri baiting. Alright well this is going to be a 'fun' venture, now isn't it?
Story: Labyrinth Town is a town of fortune tellers where girls with spiritual powers starting at the age of fifteen come to the city with the prospect of becoming rank one urara, the highest rank of fortune teller that one can receive. It's here where we meet Chiya, a girl raised in the woods who comes to Labyrinth town to meet friends with the goal of becoming a rank one Urara in hopes of finding her mother.
Urara Meirochou is what one would expect coming into a moe show filled with cute girls. The show has an all female cast, cut…

-FULL REVIEW-
We have quite a few Slice of life anime aired this season and one of them is Urara Meirochou. A 12 episode series about a girl named Chiya arriving at the Labyrinth City in which her main objective is to find her mom who is living in the city and rising through the ranks of Urara.
The episode started off well with the introduction of the four main characters and their main purpose of why they are in Labyrinth City. With the all the episodes being aired, it’s great that the girls has been adapting to the city quite well and are aiming to get to the first district through challenges they're facing throughout the series, even passing one of the promotional test. As far as i could see, the series plot line is not too complex to understand as the story would continue where it lef…

There’s no questioning how popular the cute girls doing cute things genre is and I can see why, for some people (me included) it is a very effective way to relax. Due to this popularity, many series of this genre exist out there, most them having a twist or two to differentiate themselves from each other but still having the same core. However, Urara Meirochou not only adds twists to differentiate itself from others, but it also takes the existing mold and adds a lot more to it.
Urara Meirochou takes place in a traditional Japanese town of fortune tellers (uraras) called Meirochou, where the four main characters have recently started their studies to become top uraras. During this series we see all the adventures and trials these girls go through as we follow the journey these four girls…
