About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a playful mix of martial arts, romantic chaos, and episodic comedy, especially if you like Yu Yu Hakusho; Not for you if repetitive resets or older anime humor wear thin.

Pros: inventive curse premise; funny character dynamics; light, addictive energy | Cons: dated stereotypes; lots of filler; weak sense of closure
