Megami Paradise

Mama Megami, the mother goddess and ruler of paradise is retiring. Her successor appoints a young mage named Lilith to be one of her guardians. Lilith's first assignment is to recruit two more worthy guardians for the new Mama Megami. Not an easy task, as Stashia, the first candidate on Lilith's short list is not interested. Lilith didn't even have a chance to ask the second person on the list, a warrior named Juliana due to a misunderstanding caused by Stashia's little sister Rurubell. Rurubell wants to be a guardian, but Lilith turned her down due to her very young age and lack of experience. Meanwhile, Paradise is under attack by an evil goddess who wants to dominate it, and it's up to Lilith, Stashia, Rurubell, and Juliana to thwart the attackers.

With deep investigations into the catacombs of self-indulgent smut, one often comes across less than ideal handiwork. While not the best piece of self-indulgence I’ve seen, it’s one with the craftsman’s charm of a dispassionately made wooden bear trinket at a remote tourist destination. Which is to say, the blasé attitude of the man behind the counter who’s been carving these for 40 years gives it its own strange charm from how automatic and numbing the activity became. Homemade, yet polished in indifferent mechanical process. It lacks liveliness, but is without factory cynicism; giving insight into one who has been at it for far too ... long. A steadfastness when creating these same baubles countless times, that despite the lack of enthusiasm in his present self, one can see the skill built over those years. The light is gone, but the precision is still there.

That’s roughly how I felt watching this. It lacks the inspiration of other eccentric or unhinged shows, but is still droll from its overall presentation. I can’t help but be smitten by the aesthetics, in spite of the half-heartedness of motivation that seems to emanate off of it. If you like pretty pictures, silly magic, and cute lasses like myself, I’m sure you’ll find this worth a watch.

Mixed Feelings

Megami Paradise is exactly what it advertises itself to be- an ecchi comedy with magic and upskirts and monsters. There's really not that much more to it, and insofar as this is its mission, it certainly does what it sets out to do. Beginning with the story, it's a pretty simple affair with a magical kingdom and an evil sorcerer queen who wants to rule over it and destroy a magical stone that keeps evil at bay, while a scrappy group of girls in service to the Mamamega save the realm. The Mamamega, by the way, is the good queen, ... while the Yamimama is the evil one, which got a chuckle out of me every time I heard either title. There's not really much else to say about the story, other than that is does its job of justifying the anime's existence, with a fair dash of self-aware comedy as it does so.

The real star here is the art, which is obviously what the people behind this anime put all their effort into. The character designs are fun and appealing, the use of color is vibrant and interesting, and even the animation managed to impress. of course, all of this is in service of a pretty basic ecchi anime, but its technical quality must still be recognized regardless.

The sound meets all basic standards of quality, with the voice work standing out as lively and energetic.

The characters are also pretty good, meeting their basic roles as somewhat generic heroines meant to fill their niches in fun ways. Of them, Lilith and Rurubell are the strongest, Lilith because she actually feels like a fully realized character with agency in the story, and Rurubell as an interesting take on the cutesy magical girl trope. Overall, Megami paradise is something you really can just judge by its cover. Regardless of its relative technical quality, it really is just a simple ecchi anime at the end of the day, and while it's not gratuitous by any means, it is still self-aware of its identity as some good old lowbrow slop, and if that's your thing, this'll be right up your alley.

The best part about this was that it ended quickly and half of it was skippable.

TLDR: It was so bad i had to write my first review for this.

I love fan service shows. Very little plot or establishing story is fine if the it services the fans but this show doesn't even do that well. There is a sever lack of character variety which makes all the fan service the same thing in the end. With the shit writing, and short time to establish the characters its hard to get invested enough in one character to even enjoy the "plot". A couple of ... interesting ideas in the first part and only 1 good showing in the second amount to very little fan service. It was caught between a bad plot, and bad writing. This is where fan service thrives but even here this show couldn't deliver. All in all, DO NOT WATCH this show. The 10 min getting to the interesting content in this could be spent loading up an actually good anime, fan service or not

The pros are it has passable old school animation. Pantie shots for days. Also youre pretty much whisked away to babe island with a bunch of hot babes. *spits out 3 green cumulons out of 10
