I'm not sure what edition the other reviewer had , but my copy was dubbed.
Okay now for my review. The clueless Haruo lives with his three sisters who are witches , along comes Ayumi, another witch, who needs to unlock Haruo's hidden power to lift a curse placed on her.
Ayumi moves in with them which leads to lots of comic moments. The screaming matches between the girls are great with insults flying everywhere.This banter back and forth is one of the high points of the show and at times is almost hilarious.
The problem I have is the feeling that something was missing. I wasn't drawn in eagerly waiting to see what was going to happen next. Don't get me wrong, the episodes up to the last 2 episodes were watchable. They just didn't have that wow factor.
If I could give this show 2 ratings , I would give the episodes prior to the last 2 episodes a 4 star rating and for the last 2 episodes I'd give a 0 and a punch in the face to whoever thought up an ending like that.
I'm serious, this has the worst ending of all the anime I've seen so far. It totally ruined the show for me. It stunk , I mean 'fire the writer' stinky.
So in a nutshell , episodes 1 thru 10 pretty good , episodes 11 and 12 don't even bother watching, which is a disappointment , the show deserved a lot better ending than that.

Keeping it short, it's a comedy magic type anime in the modern world with witches hiding out among the populace posing as normal people. While this may bring to mind Potter films, this one is definitely not for children. Fan service, language and, in some cases, content may not appeal to parents. For adults I would say it's worth it being a S.A.V.E. edition. It's not the best I have seen but it's at least average and maybe a little above. There is some thought in the storyline which is one of it's saving graces.
Oops, supertitles are quick. Makes for a lot of pausing to read what just zipped by... keep your remote handy.

This is very funny anime with a lot of adult humor. Some of the scenes had me laughing so hard my sides hurt. It's up there with other good harem anime. Recommended.

Your standard harem comedy with a few twists. I enjoyed it but the harem anime genre is generally hit or miss with many viewers. I'm sure there are enough plot synopsis posted that i don't need to explain what's going on here. Watch this if you want an anime that's good mindless fun. It had a decent number of laugh out loud moments and even a memorable character here and there. It's certainly not a top tier anime, but i wouldn't cross it off my list completely. For 20 bucks, if I didn't have much else on my list to watch, i would give it a shot.

For similar anime, see Tenchi GXP, Negima, Demon King Daimao, and My Bride is a Mermaid (which is great but the localization sucks).

The series is so bad in plot, character development, and voice acting it is painful to even recall it. Don't waste your money or your time with this. Maybe if they paid $10.00 and hour to view it, it would be worth the time spent watching it. I am a fan of anime, and there are even some magical girl genre I enjoy, but not this awful hodgepodge.

Girls are represented by short skirts often showing their panty. Speaking about healthy sex for men. I have the impression that it is some kind of sexy cartoon for inhibited males. It is just worth to be thrown into trash.
