short review
the story is not tolkien
the battle is not devil may cry (max0r,2020)
but the corny jokes still put smile on my face, not speaking for everyone and honestly, there are "illegal" jokes i see as an adult now
i like the OST, probably the most thing i love from the series
back when i was 12 i like jiyu outfit design, minimalist and shirt+tie with vest is simplistic but cute jubei yagyu II is a badass character i love too
ryujoji characters are the ones who even weirder probably from expectation of their look
the ruffians are comic relief but almost the entire show characters are comic relief
not saying this is a "safe to watch as family show" especially in this time
rewatching it again on 2023 after beforehand i rewatched it too around 2019 or 2020, due lack of streaming site…

That the doble number of the beast for you. If I have watch Kill la Kill after Jubei-chan, I would say that Kill la Kill is a ultimate upgrade: it has over the top humor, forth wall break, action and a somehow stupid plot that become interestin later.
Unfortunately, this anime is one of the worst cases I have ever seen presenting its worst in the worst possible way (yes, the triple worst was on purpose). I say this specifically for the humor and the presentation of some secondary characters, with Bantaro as the supreme manifestation of this type: he talks too much, appears as a comic character in serious scenarios and only fills sausages. Why does this guy exist at all? Every time he showed up I was annoyed because I knew he was going to steal the show in a stupid mood.
BUUUUT, there is…

i watched this over a period of time and wasn't really interested, so my memory of it is vague. the story is of a girl Jiyu or nicknamed Juubee and how she receives this eye patch that harnesses the power to transfer the soul of the historical Juubee.
The comedy is horrible in this, trying to use animation for comedic effect backfired, joke wasn't funny and they just destroyed the animation and mood, not that i was into the mood. Few jokes are actually decent, i noticed that trio of Jiyu fans have a good line now and then, other than that the trio is to cringe-worthy, only their for comedy it feels.
I like her fathers reaction at the end in finding out the secret, seemed realistic, if not overplayed a bit. However then they went ahead and decided, i want to save this person so lets hav…

Personally I really enjoyed this anime.
It starts out seeming like a very generic 90s anime with a lot of the downsides of one. Stiff animation, boring characters, uninteresting plot.
But if you can struggle past the first couple episodes it unfolds into a surprisingly good comedy that really pokes fun at the cliches of an old school magical girl anime.
I've watched it twice both times with different friends and we were never bored and often found ourselves laughing out loud at jokes both within the show and of our own making.
Jubei Chan kind of reminds me of a more PG abridged series than anything as it comes across as very self aware of all the cliches of its nature and presents a genuinely fun time. If your not looking for a serious sword fighting anime I'd say give Jubei Chan a wa…

Jubei-chan is an anime that probably fools most viewers at its start. What appears to be a stereotypical show about average high school kids who must save the day from evil bad guys is actually a clever satirical comedy. This is hard to realize at first because it plays so many of its cliches straight that it can easily be mistaken for one of the very shows that it mocks. And, if you've seen enough of those kinds of shows, this one may already turn you off by the intro scene; after all, it involves the played out scenario of two rival samurai battling to the death. It's all very serious, but things do start to feel odd. If you continue watching, small absurdities will build up until the show's true nature is revealed. The creators actually expect their viewers to be as savvy as they are wh…

There is really nothing wrong with this anime.
For the most part, I was expecting it to be something else entirely.
What I got instead was a comedy that felt really refreshing for some oddly satisfying reason. Maybe it was how often Jubei said "huh" or maybe it was how they actually did not take the time to draw the unimportant characters when they appeared in a scene. But, the enjoyment level, for the most part, was pretty great.
Most of these reviews, I imagine, took it seriously. Well, this anime has both seriousness and comedy, but more heavy on the latter. And for those that took it in as the former, have a completely off perception of this anime.
Nothing about Jubei-chan: The Ninja Girl is bad when it began (by the way, they messed up the title) and it slowly got better as it wen…

Laohoam- This anime started out kinda fun in the beginning, but the nonsense seemed to take over more in the end. The end game started to become more serious delving more into her past and a lot more character development, but it seemed at each crucial part they would botch it by throwing some weird scene in or just destroying the plot. Overall it was ok for a quick watch but not so sure the second season will be worth the effort.
Tadgh: This was kind of a throw away anime for me. It was ok, and I'd watch it again, but I'm not sure it really added anything to my life either. I liked the art style (the main one at least, it jumped around a bit) and it made me laugh a couple times, but it was by no means great.
Dr R Dash: This anime was very funny , cute at times and down right odd and su…

I expected much more, all my friends were hyping this to the moon. They said it was great, but they were wrong. What's sad is the potential that this anime has to be great, it has such a good story line. Unfortunately where this show suffers greatly is in the pathetic writing job. It takes forever for the characters to develop, and I swear they're saying the same things every episode (example: Episode 1: "I'm not Jubei, I'm Jiyu Nanohana". Episode 2 "I'm not Jubei, I'm Jiyu Nanohana". Episode 3: You get the picture)
Not only does the show suffer from bad writing, but bad voice acting on both ends. The Japanese voices are annoying, I'm all for high and cute voices, but the female voice are so high that they pierced my eardrums (or at least I thought they did). The english voice acting is t…
