  • "Golden age" classic

    TLDR Version: If you're not overly sensitive or critical, enjoy a good laugh and a decent story, this anime is for you.

    Jubei-chan was a breath of fresh air while I was originally watching anime. This anime took the tired magical girl trope and added a twist when there weren't other anime veering from the norm.

    If you have an open mind and don't take yourself too seriously; You will have a ...

    I love this show. A total classic. Yes, it's all over the place BUT it is executed so well that it's a show that is hard not to like. The characters are funny and lovable and the show plays out well. 'No Game No Life' reminds me of this tonally. Definitely give it a chance!

    Jubei-chan is all over the place. The shows jumps from moments of slapstick comedy, serious action, and heartfelt drama at the drop of a hat. If a lesser director had tried to balance all these elements it would have been a complete mess but Akitaro Daichi manages to make it all work. Jubei-chan may not be an all-time classic but it is a very strong title that really surprised me.

    I see where they wanted to go with it, but it seems like two people got in a fight about how the anime should go in direction and we got a smashup of both. One side is a feudal fighter who is awesome and the other is about an ordinary girl who does ordinary girl things. Also, the heart eye patch is ridiculous. Like, who thought that would be a good idea? Probably why no one can take this seriously.

    Part magical girl, part ninja, all terrible.

    I like magical girls and I love ninjas, so one would think that Jubei Chan would be my dream anime. Unfortunately it's anything but. All the characters in the show are completely unlikeable with all the male adult characters(including her father) openly lusting after the main character, Jiyu, despite being 14 and everyone else not having much of a personality at all. And Jiyu? One of the most ...

    childish stories told by children

    this old school anime is just a series of cheep boob jokes. the action is well done but 2min of visually stimulating scenes per episode can not make up the 18 min of cheep not funny jokes. The unwilling protagonist is use more like an object then a person. the focus is more on how other think of her based on her looks alone. the male characters treat her like the imagined version of person. They ...
