After an unfortunate accident, completely normal heterosexual high school student Kouta Shibaki is branded as the school pervert. With girls avoiding Kouta like the plague, truly the young man's worst nightmare has come to fruition! One day in the school library, he stumbles upon a peculiar book said to possess the power to summon witches. Partly out of desperation, partly out of boredom, Kouta decides to play along with the joke of a book, until an apprentice witch going by the name of Rurumo Maji Mojiruka appears before him. In an unusual turn of events, Kouta ends up helping Rurumo with some general witchery tasks in exchange for his soul being spared.
Majimoji Rurumo follows the misadventures of Rurumo as she attempts to persuade Kouta to use 666 magical wish-granting tickets in her efforts to become a fully-fledged witch, unaware that every time she grants a wish, Kouta's life is shortened. Aided by Rurumo's familiar Chiro, Kouta must decide between helping Rurumo or saving his own life.

I really wanna read the manga, but only the first like 4 or 5 chapters are translated to English. Story: 8/10- This story is about a pervert who's in this supernatural club of other boys who are also perverts. One day they decide to summon a witch, but in the end thinking it doesn't work. BUT it does, and she does come, Rurumo. And Shibaki gets a wish granted, which is a pair of panties. And many things happen after that in which Shibaki and Rurumo are bond together under a "contract." Things are cliche, like the witch outfit and having her familiar being ablack cat. In the beginning you realize it's a little "ehh." Shibaki is basically your classic pervert who likes to look under skirts and flips them so he can see the panties. He likes porn, that has been made clear. And this might seem offensive to the female audience, but as a female myself, this show is just hilarious.
I mean this guys is actually really nice. There are sweet moments in which you you kind of tilt your head as ask yourself "is that the same guy?" With only being 4 episodes in, you can already see his character gradually change as his relationship with Rurumo deepens to some extent. Overall a cute & funny story!
Art: 5/10- Though it is unique and has it's own style, I can honestly say this anime's weakest point is the art. I honestly dislike it. But it's nothing too terrible, but not my cup of tea.
But if you can get past that aspect, then you're good to go
Sound: 7/10- The music in any anime is always a hit or a miss with people. Whether someone hates it, doesn't mind it, or loves it, is all in opinion. But I don't dislike the OP & ED. I can honestly say it's soothing and nothing ear-bleeding.
But like most OPs & EDs, people normally skip it after the first time listening to it, so it's okay if you hate it haha.
Character: 9/10- The character's are just hilarious. Shibaki is so dense and clueless at times that it's interesting to watch him wander around aimlessly. His whole personality is based on his pervert antics but with a slow change in attitude. I mean he really cares about Rurumo, and not because she's a cute girl, but because he genuinely doesn't want her to get hurt. He tries to help her whenever he can. And for some reason it's just nice to see that side to him. Not to mention his mom is watching him like a hawk so he doesn't go off and kidnap some girls; literally. I love his mom haha.
Rurumo is a witch in training and has to stay with Shibaki until all the tickets are gone. She's a very lovable character and she's pretty clueless as well, but even more so. But she is a witch living in a human world so her perception on them is kind of weak. But with that said, you see her struggle to distance herself from the human world and from Shibaki. It's apparent in episode 4 she's trying to stay focused on her duty, instead of being carefree in the world she's in. But it's also apparent that it's getting harder to do so
And all the supporting characters are both annoying & entertaining. But overall I find them all enjoyable haha.
Enjoyment: 7/10- With everything that I've said, you're probably wondering why it's getting just a "good" score. And it's simple, this story lacks in producing a define plot. But it does gradually increase in entertainment, but there really is no main objective.
Overall: 7/10- If you wanna good laugh, than watch this series! Cuz at the end of the day, this show is really enjoyable!

You know what? Why not. I'll spend some time to write up my opinion on this show. And since there isn't much to it, it's going to be short. Majimoji Rurumo is... nice. That's it. It's a nice, relaxing series with an overall... soft tone to it. There is some fanservice but really, it's nothing too severe compared to other J.C. Staff anime such as To aru Majutsu no Index or Hentai Prince. I've literally given everything about this show a rating of 7/10. That seems like the perfect number for this series. I don't mean that in a bad way. It's hard to badmouththis series if you understand what it's aiming for.
Rurumo is a light-hearted series about a boy who meets a witch. It's really just an episodic series based on their daily life together. That's it. And actually, it's pretty calming. It's one of those... feel-good series. It's not too be taken too seriously and yet, at times, it still manages to be fairly touching. It has its moments.
I do really like one thing, though, and that was Kouta's attitude towards Rurumo. He's a perverted kid throughout most of the day but, whenever he's with Rurumo he seems to lighten up and treat her sincerely. And it's a good feeling to see that change within him. It feels like he genuinely wants to see her become happy while living in his world.
Despite all the fluffy feelings I hold for this, there is ONE slight issue I had, and really it was only present in the beginning.
At first, I don't know if it's just me but, it felt as though... Rurumo and Kouta barely spent any time together. Like, there's barely any scenes involving both of them in the same area and interacting with each other and when there was, it was short and trivial. So... it felt kind of empty whenever Kouta said something meaningful to her.
Later on in the show this is fixed when Kouta starts to spend more on-screen time with her and, there are small dilemmas (As in, nothing drastic or life-threatening) that bring the two closer. The climax of those episodes tend to be heart warming and put a smile on my face, or had me saying "D'awwww..."
The sound creates a sort of atmosphere to the show that I haven't really felt in a cutesy series before. I'm talking about the music, which mainly consists of a guitar playing a... I hate to use this word again but, relaxing tune. Acchi Kocchi was similar with the music though that seemed to consist of more effort in the music than in Rurumo. At least, in my opinion.
The art was average. Animated by J.C. Staff, it was expected by me to have nicer looking animation but, it didn't. I don't have a problem with this, seeing as the level of animation fit the show nicely.
Overall Majimoji Rurumo is a feel-good show. It's not to be taken TOO seriously in terms of plot and, really, I see it as something to help you relax or put a smile on your face from time to time. Something to watch nonchalantly, I suppose you could say. A solid 7 out of 10.

First of all, let me start by saying this is quite an underrated anime. Yes, this anime is actually quite slow-paced, and has quite some cliched episodes and moments that you would find in a slice-of-life and romance series, but what really caught on to me, especially in the later episodes, is how compatible the op and ed are with the scenarios in the episodes. It is actually quite interesting to see the many sides of the main 2 characters and see how their relationship progressed. Story- wise, it's not amazing, and quite cliched at times, but the presentation was well-delivered. Art-wise, normal. Sound-wise, I really love and opand ed, and some osts.
Character-wise, it's great to see the main characters get developed, with bits and pieces of some characters' pasts and what each character's personalities are like. Characters' personalities are mostly quite consistent, especially Rurumo's,even through all the character developments they do not seem out of place.
Enjoyment-wise, I would give it a 10 out of 10. It definitely has enough for me to keep watching to the finish, since I do not really like cliched settings. However, it is quite surprising cos at times I cannot even predict what will happen next. It's quite hard to find an anime that's cliched yet not predictable nowadays.
Overall:9/10
If you like slow-paced, touching, romantic with some slapstick humour, you should try this anime.

This was nice but it's nothing to write home about, just your standard slightly above average show. Kouta Shibaki is your cliché hormonal teen who only thinks about girls and Rurumo is your cliché outsider who has hardly any idea of how the world works. Premise is Kouta summons the witch Rurumo and accidentally strikes a bargain where in he is given a pair of girls pants in exchange for his immortal soul. After warming up to him a bit Rurumo refuses to take his soul and is punished by being forced to grant any wish Kouta desires. Now I wouldn't blame you if you thought this soundedlike the build up to a really perverted anime but it's really tame with a focus on the characters and not on fanservice, it's on AT-X but it's totally PG-13.
Rurumo and her familiar Chiro are the best part of the show. I love Rurumo's totally deadpan persona and Chiro is a great comic relief side character. A few of the episodes fall flat but the character interactions are good enough to carry the show.
If they make more I will watch it but I'm not exactly waiting with baited breath.

Another, summer anime that involves magical girls has just ended and it is time for me to make a review of this 12 episode anime. So, like I've said it was another one of those anime that involves magical girls, in this case it involves witches, whose typical concepts were modified to fit the Japanese fanbase, basically it is like "Witch Craft Works" except that there isn't that action genre present in it, though it doesn't have the same romance genre it, but I ain't gonna push through co'z this isn't the part for it. For the story, I give a fair score since onewould be annoyed with the plot where a naive witch meets lusty boy kind of thing where witch was suppose to make lusty boy make a wish and take his life (of not without the ticket that the guy has) instead it turns out to be a witch entering into boy's life and the usual thing where boy's life turns upside down, however it was the romance between the two and the comedy puts a balance on the anime's poor plot.
About it's art....well, I just don't like the way them character's were illustrated co'z it kinda look like it was done by some mangaka wanna be who is trying hard but cannot , the panty shots were fine in a certain angle but upfront it kinda looks like your typical granny panty.
About the sound, it was the opening theme, Rurumo's VA and Masako's VA that I find cute, however the let down was with Shibaki's VA where it would have been better if Sempai's VA did Shibaki's voice also Sumiko Inoue VA's sounded like a grown up than a teen girl and it would have been much better if the VA who did Harulily's voice would have done it.
Now about the cast, we all know that this anime revolves around Shibaki and Rurumo, well it good that is was all about them since Shibaki sort of act like Rurumo's guardian than anything else, their romance side was more of a true love where it is unconditional and that is where the enjoyment was more profound aside from the comedy aspect , so overall, this anime isn't bad at all, so here are my ratings for this anime:
Story: Fair 6.
The plot maybe be stupid but the comedy and romance were the one that balance it out.
Art: Poor 3.
Did I mention something about that the art of this anime was somehow done by a mangaka wannabe but cannot?
Sound: Fair 6.
Well, even though Shibaki and Inoue's voice were bad, It was the voices of Rurumo and Masako' s that placed a certain balance over my opinion as to how I gave this part its score.
Enjoyment: Good 7.
The score is for the anime's comedy aspect.
Overall:L Good 7.
It wasn't bad especially with the romance between Shibaki and Rurumo.

Majimoji Rurumo is a very lopsided piece of work. It would be a terrible show if not for the presence of Rurumo herself. Majimoji Rurumo is a very corny show. They way each episode is laid out is painfully predictable and trite, always ending with Rurumo showing emotions at the end and learning what it is like to enjoy herself. These scenes have very little emotional impact since you saw them from a mile away, and the slow and emotional music only makes you want to look away from how cheesy everything is. All the characters in the show are bland and 2-dimensional. The main characteris the typical "nice" pervert, his friends (who could all be lumped into one character) are also perverts, there is a boob girl, another boob girl, a tsundere, and so on. Because the show is centered just on growing Rurumo as a character, the growth of everyone else is pretty much ignored, and they stay the same throughout the entire series. As a result, the characters act the same every time, always leading Rurumo to the same predictable end.
The humor is almost not worth mentioning, it's just standard jokes based on boobs and Rurumo being a klutz. I don't remember any moments in which it's made me laugh at all.
Despite all this, Rurumo herself somehow single-highhandedly carries this show out of the trash into the range of mediocrity. Rurumo herself is not special character by any means- she has difficulty expressing herself, but is nice inside. All of Rurumo's scenes portray her as cute and klutzy. She says herself, "I'm a bit slow, so I have to try hard." It seems like she's just as artificially engineered to draw out emotion like the rest of the show, but the difference with her is that it works- she ends up being very endearing.
I cannot recommend Majimoji Rurumo as a good show to anyone. I watched it only for Rurumo, and every scene without her felt like a struggle to get through. However, when she got screen time, the show was largely enjoyable. Overall, I had a fair enjoyment of this show. If you are looking for an ok show devoid of any meaning just for fun, then Majimoji Rurumo isn't such a bad show to watch.

Laohoam- Enjoyed it over all, but the character and plot development was a little weak. It was cute and funny so it was still good, and I would recommend -Ras- "........." Dr R-Dash, I enjoyed the anime at the beginning with the exciting story of a pervy boy having to be responsible for once in his life there was a few parts that made me laugh in each episode and begin to have hope that this hopeless boob fetish guy would turn out nice but it got altered a bit ... but over all its a cute fan boy :3. Tadgh: I really liked the waythis anime was drawn and I thought it was funny. The fan service was over the top sometimes and unnecessary. I seem to be the only one in our group that thought there was a decent story. I like it, but the boob action could be toned down.

So a guy gets a bunch of tickets, which make a certain loli witch, that now lives with him, make his wishes come true. The only catch is, when he uses all the tickets, he will die, but the witch does not actually know that....add to the mix that the anime is about a perverted schoolboy and you will get a rather generic, but at times fun slice of lify anime. There is really not much to this anime. The jokes are usually the cliche over the top and perverted ones. Nothing really significant happens at all, and there is a beach episode, just to showhow much of an average, cliche anime this one is.
I am still not going to lie and will say, that this anime can be a bit funny sometimes and can be a bit touching sometimes. Still the humour can be rather tasteless and generic and the characters are mostly carbon cutouts.
The animation is absolutley nothing spectacular. It is actually below average, but the show like that does not really need good animation that much.
So overall what I am trying to say, is that this is just an average/sligltly above average slice of life anime. You can get a few chuckles out of it and forget about it's existance in a few days. Nothing special, but nothing too awful too.

So much goes to waste in this anime. While I understand that there's really not much to go off of, the problems of this show are still obvious. The pacing is weird, characters suddenly pop in and out, and a lot of plot points are buried in the easy-going rhythm of the show. The females dialogue all sound like background characters who don't even have names, the club the MC is in didn't even name two of the three characters in it, the MC has a little brother with like three lines in the entire show that I forgot about for like six episodes, and oneof the characters on the cover art only shows up in one episode. Also the leading heroine (rurumo) doesn't really stand out. I wanted to see more of a connection between the two main characters, but there wasn't enough until near the end. The show takes too long to get somewhere.
This show could've survived with a six person cast, but there's way too many forgettable characters.
The art and music were a refreshing change from what I'm used to but really didn't go anywhere with it. I almost got a fooly cooly feel from it, but it didn't really expand on that.
I found myself struggling to stay interested in a few episodes, but in the end I finished it.
good-
- nice break from "mainstream" animation
- a couple of lesser explored ideas that people like to see
- Although cliche, interesting in it's execution.
bad
- bad pacing, not just slow but occasionally glossing over details
- cast was too large, forgettable characters
- slow to start, and then ends when you start getting interested
- nothing really outstanding, a general sense of mediocrity

Alas, Majimoji Rurumo one more in the list of those anime that squander potential. That is not to say that this anime is terrible. In fact, I found it quite enjoyable. However, it is not a balanced anime, and it ignores its strengths in exchange for staying within the safety net of the same old tropes. Both times I have watched this series, I have had to strain my senses so as to not lose the golden thread that runs through the mud. That golden thread is all that can be seen of what could have been a great romance story about love across boundaries betweentwo characters who are both awkward for different reasons.
The serious interactions between Rurumo and Kouta are few and far between, and they are the only moments that really made me feel like the story was progressing. In between these moments (or sometimes obscuring them) are a plethora of overused perverted, comedic devices. Occasionally, there is some genuinely good comedy, but regardless of the comedy's quality, the story is rarely progressing. But how could it? After all, the story premise itself is based on the relationship between Rurumo and Kouta. And yet, that relationship takes a backseat to the comedy. On top of that, filler episode format is used - swimsuit episodes, lingerie episodes, etc. There is little to no sense of progression in the episodes because the production team tunneled too heavily on creating funny perverted scenarios, even though a gem of a relationship premise was staring them in the face. In the final episode, we finally get a truly serious emotional episode plot, and yet it falls flat because there has been so little development beforehand. Perhaps the gentlest way of viewing the production's failure is to say that they tried to create a sense of the "fun" that Rurumo and Kouta were having together as a means to show the relationship's progression and empower the final episode. With that optimistic view, the show appears slightly more endearing, but ultimately it still suffers the same problems.
As for the individual aspect grading...
The story, for the aforementioned reasons, gets a 3. If the golden thread had been the focus, it quite possibly could have been an 8 or 9.
I'm not a great reviewer of art. Nothing popped out at me, but it wasn't ugly either. The same could be said for the soundtrack. Both get a grade of 6.
The characters were a strong point, but their strengths were badly obscured by the constant, poor comedy routines. As a result, the potential 9 is hard to see beyond the 7.
The enjoyment of the show ranks average as well. Being forced to strain ones eyes for the gold among the mud makes it difficult to find that feeling where you get really drawn in. I found myself drawn in for mere single scenes before being alienated again by poor comedy.
Overall, it is a 7 in my books. Or perhaps a 6.5 if I could use partial points. The obscuring of the story being poor comedy made for a frustrating experience. However, the glimpses of that story were pure gold. This is certainly one anime for which I will be checking out the manga, in the hopes that the poor communication of the most important aspects of the story were due to its adaptation and not its authorship.
