Eva’s First Impression
HELP I CAN’T BREATHE, WHAT IS AIR, I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, THIS IS- I CAN’T. I AM LOSING IT. Calling it now, this show is probably going to be the highlight of the season just because of it’s insanity and hilarious characters.
I absolutely love the fact that these boys were forced into mess because it creates a whole different dynamic and attitude. In most if not all magical girl shows/mangas, the protagonists would find themselves in a situation where they are either caught in the crossfire of an alien invasion/attack or step in to help resolve a conflict/mess to protect others. In this case, neither happened. Instead the boys were in a club room idly discussing how to officially register their “Do Nothing” Club tot he student council when Wombat barged in, and was like, “It’ll take too long to explain, so I’ll make it quick” [Cue to summoning Lovracelets] and the next thing you know the boys are stuck with these bracelets that essentially forces them into their magical boy role. It is funny to watch because the boys either don’t care or simply unimpressed. In fact, the only one who is fired up is Hakone, who embraces his new powers and does crazy things. The other hilarious element is the fact these guys randomly name their attacks on the whim, not caring so much about their meanings and what they can do. It is entertaining to imagine how else they accommodate their roles as the story goes on.
Due to the fact that this was quite a roughly written First Impression, I know that this show would be in better hands of someone else. Other than that, I will certainly be tuning in every week to see how much crazier their adventures will get!

I’M WITH EVA, I CAN’T BREATHE. I DON’T KNOW GUYS….THIS IS JUST THE BEST THING EVER!
Okay, so the episode starts in a very Lucky Star style, where it’s just two guys, sitting in a bath talking about food. No, literally for like a minute and 43 seconds of these guys talking about Chikuwabu and it’s purpose in life. They almost treat it as it’s a person! However, around the two minute mark of the episode their food conversation gets interrupted by a pink wombat…
From here the show just devolves into the most amazing thing I’ve ever laid my eyes on. They run from the crazy pink wombat thing telling them that they have to save the world but alas….it POSSESSES THEIR HOMEROOM TEACHER! Who MAY OR MAY NOT BE DEAD!
They never confirm if he’s alive outside of being controlled by the Wombat! I’m not even sure if I want them to answer this question.
There is this one guy who is thinking how he doesn’t mean anything, he compares himself to Chikuwabu after over-hearing the guys question it’s purpose. He gets hit by a arrow of evil or….something….and turns into a Chikuwabu monster.
Also, the fact that they had NO choice in becoming magical boys in the least. He just forces the bracelets on them. On top of that, the forced cheesy catch phrases and poses before transforming.
That’s what makes this show as amazing as it is, it is mocking every magical girl show to date and doing it in a wonderful way.
The transformations are beautiful, hilarious and just fun to watch. But uh, you…Sulfur…..That’s Saturn in your back ground. Sailor Saturn called and you’re pretty doomed if you piss her off.
Anyway, the best part I think is that this kid just casually uses a finisher move and it doesn’t finish off the monster and he just punches it….
Even the show is like “THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT OF A FINISHER ATTACK?” The show is self aware! THE MAGICAL BOY SHOW IS SELF-AWARE! They finish off the Chikuwabu monster and go to take a bath to get the broth off.
Also, EVIL STUDENT COUNCIL AND THEIR GREEN HEDGEHOG OF DOOM!
Overall: I love this show, I was laughing the entire time and I don’t see it getting anything but better. The characters are fun, the premise is fun, the parodies are fun….

Hakone is best dude
I swore I wasn’t going to watch this but out of pure boredom I did and sweet jesus 0_0. Its remarkable I didn’t skip any of it (ok, maybe the first minute when they were talking about food because I had no idea where that was going). I love it when shows are self-aware and I found myself at least grinning during most of it (one of the best parts for me was just the wombat controlling the *dead* teacher). This is going to turn into my guilty-pleasure show that’s for sure.
p.s if anything I would personally change some of the character designs. And please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks that if you placed Makoto’s (Free) hair on the evil student council member who has brown hairs’ head you will essentially get another Makoto look-alike?
