The weirdest part is that I read the manga in preparation for this review and it doesn’t happen ONCE in the manga! It would appear this addition was entirely the whim of the anime’s director. The female characters can’t go 5 minutes without pissing themselves. For those rare individuals who have seen Juden Chan, the thing they most remember about the series is the pissing. However, the physical violence directed at magical girls isn’t what this series is remembered for. What happens is an angry guy beating the magical girls to near death with a baseball bat as a feeble attempt at slapstick comedy. Hideaki Anno makes a guest appearance and keeps wanting to interview Freud-chan! Sadly, that’s not what happens. The adventures of Freud-chan and her friends Maslow-chan, Kohlberg-tan, and Adler-chan. It would actually be a better series if it was about magical Jewish psychologists flying around and trying to cure depression. In German it means “Jews”, which entirely changes the context of the series. In Japanese, Juden or 充電 is a word for “Re-charge”. I’m just a few sentences into this review and it’s already awkward!
So what is Juden chan about? It’s about a magical race from another dimension called Juden, who cure depression by shoving magical AC cords into people and giving them electroconvulsive therapy. So why not? This is Juden Chan, the worst magical girl anime you’ve never heard of. This will be a tough one to get through, but I happen to really, REALLY like this person.
I’m writing a request review for a friend’s birthday. I’ve reviewed a LOT of bad anime for this site, but today I’m doing something I don’t normally do.
