AniWorthMajo demo Steady
Introduction
An ordinary day for Seki Hisashi consists of working a nine-to-five shift at an auto parts company in Shinjuku, evading his flirtatious boss' advances, and then riding his motorcycle back to his apartment, where he lives alone. One morning, however, becomes anything but ordinary for the young salaryman.
After Seki awakens to a naked woman lying beside him in his bed, he is even further shocked when she reveals her desire for them to be together. Even so, this does not explain her supernatural abilities, telekinesis being one of many. Rather than questioning her elusive nature, he immediately cuddles with her—finding the woman to be his ideal type.
On his way home from work, a vision of his newfound love leads Seki to crash his motorcycle, giving rise to a police chase. Meanwhile, the woman awaits him at his apartment but grows restless, apparently unable to be apart from him. Arriving a moment too late, Seki watches her vanish without a trace, unaware if his unnamed soulmate will ever return. Little does he know that returning is something she indeed plans on doing.

I tried to write a decent review for this OVA countless times, but I failed every single one. This anime is so nonsense that I came to the conclusion it's impossible to review it. You just can't, that's it. I mean, this isn't the worst thing I've ever see because at least the animation and character design are acceptable, but the plot is... there is no plot, period. There are a bunch of weird things happening and none of them makes any sense. I just watched it and I can't summarize it because nothing is clear nor linear, I'm so confused that I don't even know what did I just watch.
This anime is bad, but in a weird way; I surely recommend it because it will let you live a new experience, throwing you into an abyss of despair, confusion and nonsense, and leaving you crying and curled up i…

What. The. F***.
I'm quite sure that's the most rational reaction to Majo Demo Steady, but it's such a good example of 'so bad it's good'.
For the life of me, I cannot even begin to describe anything about the plot. There are some extremely outdated 80s homophobic stereotypes about one character that made me roll my eyes, but other than that the rest of the anime felt like an intense fever dream that always seemed to completely subvert my expectations but in a "WTF" way.
Art is cute at least, even when everything goes off the rails.
There's one scene though that has a heavy amount of flashing/strobe effects so watch out for that if you have epilepsy/photosensitive.
Watch this anime with friends, most fun I've had with watching something together in a while.

"Like in a movie about youth! Run straight without making sense!" The irony that this line from the OVA perfectly sums up the entire movie is not lost on me. I'd recommend this only if you really enjoyed the back bone to Urusei Yatsura. Otherwise, you'll not find this show enjoyable.
I'll preface by saying I don't want to compare this to UY, but it mimics UY so much, it's nearly impossible to do so. I will attempt to keep the comparisons to a minimum.
Going by the release dates between Urusei Yatsura and Majo demo Steady, the latter was an attempt to ride on the coattails of the popularity of UY. Honestly, the similarities are pretty uncanny at times. Ironically, the back bone of Steady is actually pretty good. I guess I have a type, liking the concept of other world girl and earthling b…

Nothing was explained. Not a damn thing. There was some underlying thing that had a hint of sense and mythology, but it was overshadowed by pure confusion and wtf-ery.
It left me in stunned silence more than once. I hated it so much that it gets a 10 for the feelings it made me feel. My brain feels like scrambled eggs.
It's 40 minutes of my life I won't get back so I'm telling everyone else to go watch it so maybe I can pass that feeling on like a curse. Kind of like The Ring.
Thanks, I guess. Good luck.

This is the most WTF Anime I've eve watched and that's saying alot.
Longtime no see my MAL friends. One of the things I am always invested on is the media that was around the times I wasn't born. Watching many shows that my parents used to watch and to find old media that not everyone doesn't care is always fascinating to me and you come across OVA anime, specifically 20th century OVA anime and let me tell you, it is the most perplex form of anime that you can encounter. I have watched horrible anime like Try Knights and Conception, idiotic animation like Varanoir, the most ridiculous hentai that was Tsui no sora, but Majo Demo Steady is by far the most astonishing thing I have seen so far at this point. I am using astonishing in a confused and loosely way. So let me tell you about this O…
