review ratings information
ratings
Overall: 4.0
The charisma of a legendary demon goddess weighed against climax interruptus and synthesized zither music.

Story: 5.0
Predicable and repetitive, but clever enough to produce MegaBugrom and HyperFujisawa.

Character Development: 3.0
Ifurita develops, the others devolve.

Art/Animation: 6.0
At times the best in the series. At times.

Translation: 4.0
Not bad enough to be good, just good enough to be below average.

Acting: 6.0
Galus and Ifurita have richer more powerful voices than many of the other characters and they carry these episodes.

MPAA Equivalent: PG
Minor violence, no nudity, no profanity. And they call this entertainment?!


X-Factors

Ten yard penalty for failure to make the obvious pun: 10
The bitchy princess Fatora has a fight with her own cat and no one delivers the obvious catfight pun.
