This is entry number 8 apart of a series in which I must watch low rated anime and then create a positive (recommending review), now onto "Idol Fight Suchie-Pai 2". This anime kind of barely made the cut of low rated anime (closer to a 5, while most are sub 4- sub 4.5 in scoring), and it makes sense why, this is honestly decent (especially when compared to some of the other monstrosities that lie below it).
So, before I mention the actual review, I'd like to note that this OVA is based on a mahjong video game, there are gameplay videos on youtube, but I was unable to find much out about the game with a basic search (and although I enjoy going down rabbit holes, this was not one I was willing to go down tonight).
Story (4/10): Honestly, the concept is fine, beat up evil monsters, collect…

Idol Janshi Suchie-Pai is a long-running mahjongg game series, and none of the games, to my knowledge, have been officially localized into English. It differentiates itself from other mahjongg games by having a cast of colorful scifi/fantasy characters and lighthearted humor. The artwork and character designs were done by Kenichi Sonoda.
This specific OVA is based on the game Idol Janshi Suchie-Pai II, which is why there is a 2 at the end of the title (in case you were wondering why there is no Idol Fighter Su-Chi-Pai 1). Kyoko Misaki is the main/playable character. She works part time at a game center and can transform into the magical girl Suchie-Pai. The other characters in this anime appear as partners/opponents in the game and are also normal girls who transform into (insert archetyp…

Another obscure single-episode OVA from the 90s, which I can't help but love. Honestly I wasn't expecting much when I saw the thumbnail, but then the description said it was also about mahjong (?) so I figured it was going to be wacky.
Boy was I right: magical girls, violence, torture, comedy, fan service, and a constant wtf vibe. Don't expect a convoluted story, so look past that and it is quite entertaining and surprising.
Artstyle and animation are also pretty good for such a short OVA, with that classic mid-90s aesthetic that still looks great. Detailed close-ups and great character design will definitely make you crave for a 2nd episode. If the pacing feels a bit sluggish, try watching it at 1.25x speed.

Welcome back to another exciting episode of "This actually exists"! Back in the 1980s, erotic games or "Eroge" on the PC were very popular in Japan. I previously covered this topic in my review of ADV's early comedy Dragon Knight. The Japanese PC-88 model could produce 8 bit graphics like the original NES, but didn't have any qualms about being family friendly. You want want 8 bit lewd lolis? You got 8 bit lewd lolis! Some of the most popular eroge games were strip poker and ESPECIALLY strip mahjong!
Idol Fighter was one of these strip mahjong games featuring original character designs from Kenichi Sonoda of Gunsmith Cats fame! If you won a round of Mahjong, you got to see an 8 bit scan of a nude Sonoda drawing. Hooray! In the year 1996, a full 10 years later, this bare bones strip game w…

So I am in a quest of finding the worst anime this database says it has. Most of them are OVAs from the 80 to 2000s or 3 minute shorts from this decade. I stumbled across Idol Fight Suchie Pai and honestly... WHAT MAKES THIS THING SO "HORRENDOUS"?
The story of of Suchie Pai is about these random female beings with superpowers that must defeat a cat lady that is making chaos everywhere but they hide their identities in the society they are. You can find your magical girl, a bunny alien, a cyborg, an innocent maid that becomes a devil girl, a girl that has telekinesis.
The story is simple but again it is one of those short stories that go to the point, you have action, you have some comedy and nice looking visuals. Yeah they don't explain completely why are they fighting for or the reason…

Idol Fighter Su-Chi-Pai II is apparently based on a Mahjong game series by Jaleco. I've never played the games, so I had no real frame of reference going into this.
The plot is thin, but it basically involves the collecting of nine different Mahjong tiles. However, you won't know this until the very end. The storyline throughout the episode itself is slapdash and likes to jump around to different scenes without any real transition or explanation why. It spends most of it's time introducing each new character.
The characters weren't terrible, but weren't anything too original, either. The acting for them was done well, and they were fun to watch on screen, but they're all such typical characters that it's hard to find any of them interesting or memorable.
Overall, I wouldn't call this go…
