Pretty rich girl Ichiko has been blessed with an inordinate amount of good fortune so much so that shes actually sucking the fortune from those around her. To correct that massive imbalance god of misfortune Momiji is sent to the human world to balance things out but Ichiko isnt willing to cooperate. This wasreally dumb but often entertainingly dumb. The base story is simple: once Ichiko and Momiji meet most episodes fall into a familiar pattern of 1 Momiji coming up with some way to steal Ichikos energy and ruin Ichikos life/happiness as much as possible and 2 Ichiko mostly thwarting this somehow while also becoming a slightly better person and making friends Poor little rich girl is actually very lonely whodathunk. The show avoids having an idiot plot not just because of the zaniness but because Momiji opts to take the most painful and/or inconvenient ways of approaching the reduce Ichikos fortune goal so Ichiko cannot be persuaded. Very fun: Momiji is full of references to other anime frequently masquerading as other characters However the series is obsessed with boobs. Ichikos got big ones and gets dubbed Titchiko by classmates. Momiji is flatchested and this is used to mock her. And then we have Bobby a traveling monk and the lone black character who is useful about twice giving Ichiko helpful magical items and then spends most of the series being a pervert because haha man likes to grope high school girls isnot funny but someone thought it was. The show is at its best once it settles into a rhythm of Momiji thinking up some new scheme to drain Ichikos energy and Ichiko channeling her frustration and anger into not just thwarting Momiji but actively attempting to beat her. The tennis match in episode 9 was ramped up to eleven and is a personal favorite. Overall it had some really funny moments and Im disappointed there isnt a second season although it ended fine no cliffhanger but clearly couldve continued it came out in 2012 so hope for a continuation is gone. But the boob comments and pervertasapersonalitytrait arent funny and also make this unacceptable for playing at work. Verdict English dub? Yes by people who sound like theyre having a lot of fun Visuals: Nothing standout but Momijis frequent visual references to other shows are VERY fun. Worth watching? Depends. Its got its funny bits and I enjoyed it overall but its also NSFW with its boobs obsession and Bobby overall.
