Synopsis

Minato Kai and Siguma Squad, two rival gangs at Ichizu High School, are embroiled in a bitter power struggle. As a transfer student, Arajin Tomoshibi has no interest in getting involved; instead, his priority is finding a girlfriend. Fortunately for him, he is placed next to Mahoro Jin, the prettiest girl in the class who also seems to like him. However, she has an overprotective older brother, Marito—none other than the combative leader of Siguma Squad. Moreover, Arajin's reunion with his childhood friend, Matakara Asamine, spells trouble since Matakara is a member of Minato Kai.

With his rotten luck, Arajin also accidentally awakens the genie Senya, known as a Honki Person from ancient legends. Senya takes a shine to him because of the young man's fervent aspiration—despite it only being the loss of his virginity. While Arajin would be the first to flee from a fight, Senya lending him his powers helps the lovesick boy to hold his own against the likes of Marito, although this only raises the interest of both gangs in recruiting him. As the turf wars heat up when a third gang joins the fray, Arajin's involvement may be unavoidable.

I can't believe how low the ratings for this are. Sure, there a lot of dumb aspects to this. A lot of the plot, the MC being such a simp in its most stupid way, the importance given to a lot of things are ridiculous. But that adds up to the charm of the show. It brilliantly fuses these things that are dumb at first sight into a very compelling show to a very satisfying ending too. The animation is also one of the best of the season. This style is so much better than a lot of others even big budget ones recently. The ...

The MC is terrible. One of the worst I've ever seen. The show, for some reason, is incredible dedicated to making him the most unlikable MC possible; it really is astounding. The rest of the side cast is decent enough, nothing too offensive, except for the really annoying bro-con love interest the MC is crushing on. Extremely baffling choice to have the MC simp over someone that is literally more interested in her brother and pays the MC no intention, even up until the end of the show. There's moments where the love interest even recognizes how easy it is to manipulate our shitty MC.
It's ...

Bucchigiri is a classic example of starting strong but ending poorly. Ep.1 was the most exciting - the rich and exotic artistic style, the Aladdin reference with a new twist, the lively action sequences...they all led me to believe that Bucchigiri would be an imaginative anime.

More questions arose as the story progressed, and none of them were resolved even reaching the very final episode. What exactly is a "Honkibito" and why Matakara wanted to become one so badly? What was the deal with Senya and Yichiya and why did they hae to settle this through possessing high schoolers? Why was Matakara so fixated on Arajin? ...
