May 20, 2008 Archaeon Recommended I'm not really a fan of ecchi comedies, and at first glance that what Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan (or MagiPoka as it's more commonly known), looks like. However, the old aphorism about never judging a book by it's cover applies to many anime and manga titles, and this is one of them. Anyone who labels this show as an ecchi comedy has probably missed most of the humour in it. Yes, there are ecchi moments, but unlike many other shows (e.g. Eiken, Amaenaide Yo!, Girls Bravo et al), MagiPoka has very strong anarchic and surrealistic comedy elements. In other words, this series has more in common ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 27, 2009 An00biz Recommended Imagine a flat share with a female vampire, a female werewolf, a loli witch, a female cyborg and an invisible girl who all long for good looking boys and you have Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan (I'll use "Magical Pokaan" for the rest of the review). Story: As usual for slice-of-life comedy series there isn't that much of a continuing story. To be precise every episode consists of two short completed stories which have nothing to do with the other episodes, which makes this series good for non-continuing watching. Magical Pokaan is good for inserting a random episode in your anime watching just when you need ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 16, 2013 colonelpanic Recommended Majipoka isn’t exactly what you might think it is. Unless, of course, you think it is a mostly disconnected set of episodes filled with absurdist humor, and largely free of ecchi content. Majipoka is more cute and/or moe than ecchi. There are some mildly ecchi moments, but they serve the humor rather than distract from it. The show makes great fun of the modern world and of pop culture. I like that kind of humor, especially when it avoids specific references to other media. Majipoka does just that. Enjoying it requires no familiarity with any other shows or media. Even if you aren’t immediately thrilled with Majipoka, ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 9, 2018 ktulu007 Recommended Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan is a magical girl comedy from 2006. It was brought to us by Remic. Never heard of them? Well, they don't have many credits to their name so that's not a surprise. Let's hope it gives as favourable first impression. Story: We follow four princesses from the Netherworld. The witch, Uma, the vampire, Pachira, the werewolf, Liru & the android, Aiko. One of these things is not like the others, not like the others, not like the others. The four of them are living in the human world and all kinds of shenanigans ensue. That's the basic crux of the comedy in ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 29, 2015 UtenaSatou Recommended Supernaturally funny! What a surprise with this anime!!! When I saw pictures from this anime, I thought nothing much about it, it was just another anime to check out, but from the start it became a memorable one. It 's just one story about the life of four stereotype characters from tales: vampire, werewolf, android and witch, all of them innocent girls but with a ecchi touch, just a little, making things incredibly funny and unusual, trying to living in peace with humans in our mortal world; isn't the biggest plot ever but is so easy to love very quickly these girls from the bottom of ...

Jul 28, 2024 SgtSalamander Recommended I'm not often a huge fan of Ecchi anime, as they're usually pretty one-note. They hook you with the anime tiddy, but typically offer little else. However, Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan, or Magipoka as I'll call it for the rest of this review, really is something special. It's hilarious, creative, passionate, and really only barely classifies as an Ecchi at the end of the day. In fact, it's more like a Moe Slice of Life with Ecchi elements. From start to finish it is charming, endearing, and effortlessly funny, setting itself apart as one of the hidden gems of the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 14, 2020 JuneNephthys Recommended Imagine if four magical princesses — a vampire, a werewolf, an android, and a witch — all boarded the same house, with little knowledge about the human world. For example, in Episode 2: まやかしの呪文はTVショッピング ("The Make-Believe Spell is TV Shopping"), the girls fall for some infomercial scams and order a ton of worthless items! The series itself is less of a monster show and more of a comedy, slice-of-life with a group of gal pals experiencing practical things, in the real world! As well as some strange supernatural events, like a group of devious ※Japanese raccoon dogs tricking the gullible girls into bathing in an ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 9, 2019 MisakiManjoume Recommended it's a shame it is not as popular as it deserves to be. Through my long journey with anime and manga, I've stumbled across many so-called "ecchi" series, and yet all I saw was a bland fanservice only growing up kid would laugh at. My disappointment was broken though when I decided to watch this. It was probably one of very few series that I laughed out loud thanks to. I finally felt like I was watching an ecchi that has actual jokes in them. Combined with a simplicity of the plot and more moe-like look of the characters (yet not looking like absolute children ...

Jan 5, 2024 zeknife Recommended Revisiting Magipoka 15 years later, I found a lot of new things to appreciate that maybe went over my head when I was new to anime. Good: It really has a unique vibe, and the surrealist elements make it stand out. The characters are super charming of course, and I also love how this show isn't afraid to have attractive male side-characters that the girls actively fawn over. Despite ostensibly being an ecchi comedy, they are depicted with genuine agency and they're allowed to be silly or stupid or unattractive sometimes! Bad: There's a couple weird moments that don't really work for me, and the way the ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 6, 2024 Toran71 Recommended This is one of the best "chill" shows I've ever seen. The fact that it's ecchi and even has some hentai scenes in one episode probably drives a lot of viewers away but thats ok because "real" anime fans are the target audience of this show. It's funny, it's cute, it's relaxing, it's got cool supernatural stories. Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 14, 2024 Coffe4Morning Recommended A nostalgic ecchi anime that I just can't not love. It was one of my first animes to the ecchi side of anime, and I'm really glad It was this one. It's a very fun series, with 4 main girl protagonists: Liru, the werewolf; Uma, the witch; Pachira, a vampire; and Aiko, the android. The anime go through their daily life as they dont know how the human world works. They also seek love and a partner in their lives, what causes a lot of fun situations. If you're a fan of old, but kinda of wholesome, comedy ecchi anime, this one Is for you! I ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 15, 2024 tota-chiba Recommended A surprisingly funny and nostalgic Ecchi comedy featuring a cast of lovable stereotypes in a complete joke of a show. Everything from the woefully stupid cast constantly fighting over the affection of boys down to the "yuri-bait" (but admittedly badass) opening theme that doesn't fit the tone of the show at all. Its quite a fun collection of spoofing anime tropes, animation jokes/puns, and borderline nonsensical reasoning behind the actions of the cast for humors sake. The setting involves 4 "princesses" that in-explicitly live in the human world in a treehouse together with a ghost chaperone (presumably to save on the animation budget) and are super ...
