Fairy Ranmaru: Anata no Kokoro Otasuke Shimasu

In a world where negative emotions fester, five fairies from the strongest clans are sent to Earth to collect "attachment" in order to sustain their world. The fairies establish Bar F and live their lives as normal high school boys and a barkeep in order to protect their true identities and fulfill their mission. The boys encounter various female clientele at Bar F, each hiding dark feelings within their hearts, and the boys offer to help them overcome their troubles. The only thing they ask for in return is the client's permission to steal their heart.

As the boys investigate the cause of each client's distress, they come across an individual who wishes to sow chaos and sin. With their quest on the line, the fairies of Bar F must unmask this individual's identity and put a stop to their plans, all while holding true to themselves.

Just to put it simply: it isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It's fun, it's silly, it's artsy, has excellent music and a heckton of fanservice. Definitely aimed towards the bisexual crew.

There are a lot of tiny details that get lost in the rushiness of 12 episodes--- like how the characters each represent a mudra hand-sign that matches either their personality or story. I personally thought these were very clever and it goes to show how much the creators wanted to do for their characters but did not have the required length to do so. (The cast is big-- with the ... main 5 each taking 2 episodes of protagonism. )

I definitely recommend it to those who will not be turned off by the clear sexual tension and the way some characters present themselves during their transformations. :)

Mixed Feelings

Okay.. So this anime is rather uhum- interesting. I don't mean this in a bad way either. Sure the ploty is iffy and a bit boring but I mean I'm pretty sure we all expected that. The anime wasn't bad and the art animation were good, the characters while looked pretty could've definitely been fleshed out more. It wasn't even like the protag was 3D and the others were 2D, they all had pretty equal screentime which means they were okay just not good. The fan service was okay to me, and I'm saying this as a fujo. It wasn't all that great. The relationships ... are not there if your looking they just have some really heavy tension. This is definitely one of those where your brain just need to shut off and you have to be in a mood. No not that mood, get your mind out of the gutter. All in all this anime was okay, could've been great if they focused less on the boring day to day problems (why we're all the problems surrounded by girls? We're there no boy problems?), and less fan service to focus on the characters and relationships.

[Spoiler Free]

Honestly, I picked up this series mainly because I accidentally signed up to do the MAL Rewrite for the synopsis. I thought that it couldn't be that bad, given the fact that it was just a magical girl anime, except with boys, on the surface. Boy, was I wrong.

Let's start with the non-existent story. I don't expect anything from a magical girl/boy series in terms of plot because the formula is rather simple. I don't expect some deep-cutting psychological story or anything that isn't just your typical "enemy-of-the-week" kind of thing, but I found the time in between fighting the enemy to be wasted ... time. You would think with a magical boy anime, there would be a central villain the protagonists would be working towards to defeat. It is obvious that there is one, but you don't understand who they are or why they are evil until 11 episodes in. The entire story just gets shoehorned into the last 2 episodes and it just felt lazy. The first 10 episodes were just character introductions to the 5 protagonists, but they were done so poorly that they have no personalities. I don't understand how an anime takes 10 out of 12 episodes to poorly develop 5 characters and the villains when there are literally thousands of other titles that can do it in 1 episode. Hell, even other magical girl series had better plot and character setup in less time than this show.

The human character designs are quite bland and forgettable. The fairy designs were REALLY generous with the fujo bait fan-service (abs, big bulges, very well-defined muscles, homoerotic subtexts, etc.). I could not watch this series without doing a double take behind me to check for other people, even though I shamelessly watch other magical girl/boy anime and fujo bait series on a TV in front of others. There were a lot of questionable scenes throughout involving bondage and BL-esque situations and I don't know what to make of those, other than I felt mildly uncomfortable with it. The animation is fine for what it is. I wasn't expecting much from Pony Canyon and Studio Comet, so I had nothing else to base it off of. The transformation sequence is, by far, the longest one I have seen in any magical anime to date. The change from human to fairy form is a good 15-20 seconds and then there's like 1 minute of song every time with the fairy running/flying with no fighting or anything. I don't understand what that adds to the story and it just felt like filler because they ran out of things to animate. I started skipping the transformation sequence as a result because I'd rather have that ~2 minutes of my life to look at something else. The sound design wasn't bad. Most of the voice actors seem fairly new to the industry because I have never heard of most of them before (the most prolific VA is for the Queen, who did Yuru Yuri's Akari and SnK's Krista). They did what they could for this series and I can't fault them for that.

Overall, I don't know who this series is targeted towards and I did not enjoy it as someone who does consume magical girl/boy series and fujo bait material. It's way too mature/fan-service-y for children who enjoy magical series. The only thing memorable was how much I couldn't stand the BL-esque fan-service. Is it a good hate-watch? I don't know. Should anyone watch it? If your favourite pastime is to explain to your parents/roommates that what you're watching isn't hentai. Would I do it again? Only if I sign up to do the MAL Rewrite synopsis by accident again.
