I didn't really like it. It's not my type of humor. I don't really watch humor anime because it usually annoys me and I don't really get any enjoyment unless it is more than just humor. I mean I liked Gintama when they have plot but the humor gets repetitive. going back to this anime Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku: The Legend of Koizumi it just feels like haha so random XD type humor and I would not recommend watching it if you feel the same as me but some people like that so go with your hard and don't let me dissuade you.

Well to begin with, this really is a very underrated comedy/parody show. This kind of shows doesn't get much praises due to various reasons. First of all new age comedy shows tend to have have nonsensical jokes and fanservices in them which this show certainly lacks. The other reason being, there are only 3 episodes in this show. It could have gotten more praise if it would have followed the whole manga and completed the series, but unfortunately it didn't happen and neither there is any chance of such happenings in the future. But anyway, this was a really nice watch for me. Those 20-24 minutes were surely laughable. And the most intriguing parts are when you see leaders of different countries waging wars and deciding their victories through Mahjong. If you have some 25 minutes in your bu…

I'm not sure if this is a political satire or political propaganda, but it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. If was laughing until tears entered my eyes during the whole thing.
The whole thing is just one ridiculously over-the-top. It parodies other sports/game anime by how dramatized the moves are and the political figures all have funny caricatures to them. Also, Mao Zedong rises from the dead to play a game of mahjong. What more could you ask for?
The entire anime is 26 minutes. So, if you want a quick watch and laugh, this is the show. If you feel your time has been wasted, you only invested less than half an hour. I say it's worth the chance.
Just go into this show not expecting anything serious because it sure doesn't take itself seriously.

A lot of OVA based on manga don't do very much character set-up, and instead just drop you right in, assuming you're already familiar with the manga and it's characters.
The Legend of Koizumi is no stranger to this, and does very little set-up for it's cast of characters. Despite the fact that they're all political figures, the lack of very much introduction is very jarring.
The story is also very jarring, as it simply jumps from one scenario to the next, trying to squeeze as much as possible out of each episode's 8-minute runtime. This seems unnecessary, especially considering each story doesn't actually have very much of interest going on, and they all follow the same basic formula of "Koizumi gets into a match of mahjong with a political leader and pulls off some great play". Perhaps…

In this 3 episode OVA (it still says its ongoing but there is no release date for the next dvd), the world's prominent figureheads battle it out in a furious high stakes battle of...
...MAHJONG!
Yes in this universe, every figure head is a master Mahjong player and all the worlds politics are dealt by playing a game of mahjong. The first episode is entirely based on the manga while the other 2 episodes are original stories written by creator, Hideki Ohwada. Forget Hetalia Axis Powers, this is how political satire should be.
There are no cute looking bishounen characters running around here. In this anime every figurehead is drawn in a fairly accurate anime depiction of themselves. Because we all know satire is funnier when it's more 'realistic'. Anyone can make a sports anime (go, cards…
