Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge

Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge (episode 2, fansub)
Hereafter referred to as Rabuge to save my fingers, this is a rather silly comedy, complete with plenty of fan-service, that I find I am enjoying quite a bit. This is one of those series you go into expecting just to enjoy the ride, and not anything too deep. It is a good break from the heavier stuff out there.

Rabuge is actually two linked 15 minute shows, Love Pheremone and Gedou Otometai. Each show overlaps some characters and events, and both share a common theme, only flipped from one show to the other. In Love Pheremone, we have two wannabe comedians who were also given high-tech suits to fight crime and defend justice. Their attempts at just, though, always end up destroying half the city and costing billions of yen to repair.

On the other hand, Gedou Otometai tells the story of five girls living on their own, after their parents passed away. Their parents just happened to be low level henchmen in a villain organization, and on his death bed, their father requested they fulfill his wish to bring great evil to the world. Later, the girls discover a demon that allows them to have their own magical girl transformation (as seen above). Of course, whenever they go out with the intent to do evil, they tend to have the opposite affect - such as combining forces to enact a terrible spell which makes hot stew for victims in a hurricane shelter... .

This is one that probably won't get licensed (though I could see ADV grabbing it). Probably no loss, but I am finding it to be a rather entertaining series none-the-less.

Content Ratings (out of 5)
Comedy - 3: It illicits a decent about of chuckles out of me.
Fan Service - 4: Plenty of the usual breast and panty shots, mostly used for comedic situations.
Sillines - 3: It is a fairly goofy series, one that one should not take seriously at all.
