Jiggly jiggly heaven in real life! The show that literally melted! There is a lot that can be said about Madchen Madchens decline in quality to episode 9 where after a two week break it came out with animation that rivaled Animegataris' club's animation. It was disappointing and memed on by about everyone. And it makes sense. That episode was terrible. But the show isn't just that episode. In fact the rest of the show is quite good and it's unfortunate that this episode will now overtime the good parts of the show with it's infamy. Yes, there were lackluster parts to the show like the edgy subplot thatdidn't fit in well or the plot in general which wasn't the greatest. But there was also a lot of good. Hazuki was able to gain confidence, friends, and did grow over the course of the series. And added onto that she made her story her own. She took control and even though she was associated with a story that didn't mean the show just copy pasted the story into her life. It was different. Her stepmother and sister were nice. They genuinely cared for her. So did her friends. While there are parallels they weren't all encompassing, but rather natural. Not to mention the character interactions which were a lot of fun. The girls got together well and had this nice push and pull. Also teams like the Russians were very endearing and managed to show their comradary well. They were loveable dorks and I loved how they tried to support each other and i loved how silly they were. That add really shined especially the conclusion to that arc which was silly, heartwarming, and creative. Sure there was a bad plot but the other points were good. And sure the animation and art took a nosedive but it was still nice to see at the beginning. Especially with the unfinished ending and production issues I'm not sure I can recommend it. But I would like to remember the Marchen Madchen i really enjoyed watching. It's just a shame that this will at least for now be an uncompleted story.

It's not a bad anime but it's not an excepcional either. It's a pretty much clichê anime but despite that it's still interesting. The MC is strong but not strong as in "I can kick every one's arses" but in a loving way, treating other people's wounds as we could see on the latest episode (episode 7). It's a funny anime with cute girls. despite missing a bit of actual story, it's a good anime to watch while it's releasing. It's just sad that the team behind this anime gave up on the idea. They took a two or three week break in order to improve animation(since a lot of the episodes had really bad drawings) that resulted in no improvements and, a week after that, they totally shut down the anime, which killed the entire story. This anime as no ending, leaving us, the weebs, to imagine what would happen to the characters, if they'd succeed in their fight or if they'd lose and accomplish nothing. (This was an old review that I made when the anime was releasing and was at episode 7, but changed a couple of things. Sorry if it's confusing in some way).
