5.0 out of 5 stars Maburaho, dramatic yet intriguing..., April 30, 2006

This review is from: Maburaho, Vol. 7: Wizard of Ahhhhs! (DVD)

This anime is the first anime I've reviewed. I'd say this is a harem anime for those of you who are into that, this tops them. Magic, fun, and sexual humor make this very enjoyable. The series starts off with Kazuki. He's basically your loser character in the start but you learn to like him as well as the three women oogling over him. Overall, if you haven't seen the previous dvds, you wouldn't enjoy just watching the ending to an anime. I recommend seeing them all but that's just my opinion. Take it for what you will, this anime is definitely worth owning, from dvd 1 to dvd 7. The only thing I will warn about is that there is a lot of fan service so if you're not into that, probably should stay away from this. If anything, check out Full Metal Panic! That has less fan service and a lot more action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different and Very Enjoyable!, August 30, 2006

This review is from: Maburaho, Vol. 7: Wizard of Ahhhhs! (DVD)

Well, to begin with a few words about the storyline (Just keep in mind that the storyline refers to the entire series and therefore SPOILERS will be included!!!)

If you are looking for Mechas like FMP or Evangelion, a deep emotional like Mirage of Blaze or The Last Exile and so many others, than you should skip this one.

If one the other hand, you are looking for something like Oh! My Goddess, a harem anime, romantic and action comedy etc. than you are definitely in the right place.

The story unfolds in a world similar to the ones we already know with the difference that many people are able to use magic and werewolves, ghosts and so forth is something that people are accustomed with. The place: A High-School that consists of students that are able to use magic. The catch: Each student has a specific number of times that can use his or her magic and if used up than will turn into dust (basically, die).

The story resolves around our main protagonist, Kazuki, who is the typical looser guy (at least at the beginning, as it usually happens to the harem animes) but is the descendant of the most powerful magicians, meaning that his son will become the strongest magician ever; but has two main `problems': 1. Can use his magic only 8 times (which proofs to be super strong) and b. all females of the high-school will try to get his genes which will create the entire comedy!

Then we have the other three main female protagonists: Yuuna, who claims that she is his wife and lives together with him, Rin who is a samurai girls (and at the beginning would prefer to kill him) and Kuriki, the super hottie and super rich girl who would like to seduce him.

Apart from it, the story will mainly resolve around these four protagonists, the relationships they will create, the adventures they will encounter (they will have to deal against a ghost-hunter when Kazuki will turn into a ghost for a while) and of course what choice Kazuki will make...In addition, you will be introduced to various other characters who will influence the outcome of the story as well.

Last but not least, Kazuki has a good heart and will try to help the others in his own expense and everything will depend on a promise he made when he was very young (or should I say, two promises ;-) ).

As for the animation: It is good, compare it to the one of Oh! My Goddess and you will have a very good picture.

The music is good, starts with a nice pop/rock song and ends with a ballad.

The dub, is good done ; but to be honest as well, I have seen better dubs out there but still, it is a good one.

As for the extras, it has the typical stuff: Not credit opening/ending, trailers etc.

As for the storyline: It is very good, has a good character development, solid and has a few twists in it (but we also should keep in mind that we compare it for its genre as it is).

To the most `interesting' question: Buying it or not? To begin with, the price is the typical one that you most probably will find out there, therefore, having watched the entire series I can recommend the shows so that you can have a different and funny magic/romantic/comedy in your collection.

I hope that I could help you with this review :-)

I collected the entire series because I was bored and had money to throw away (not anymore now), but for everyone else on a fixed income. I suggest you just rent the first one to see what the rest of the other six DvDs has to offer. Since everyone of them is pretty much the same.
