Maburaho Vol 1 : 3 of 5
6.12.2005 11:38 AM \| Link	I got to see the first episode of this newly released anime on the free Newtype DVD from a recent issue, and I quickly decided that I needed to rent the series! Just like most shojo anime, there's always a geeky guy that somehow becomes the target of tons of hot girls, and Maburaho is no exception. This time, the story is set in a world where everyone has magical ability, but with a limited number of uses. Our hero can only use his magic eight more times (five by the end of the DVD!), but he's the descendant of many famous and powerful magicians - this means his genes guarantee a powerful offspring, so all the girls want to get all up in his DNA, so to speak! There are three main girls - a young cutie that he's known since childhood, a bouncy sex pot, and a warrior chick who would rather kill him because she's disgusted that he's such a loser. Each episode is filled with fan service, which is simply hilarious when it's presented with the right touch. This DVD also includes a great interview with the translator for the series, who talks about the process and how they translate various Japanese phrases that really don't have English equivalents. I'm looking forward to seeing how this story progresses, and seeing which girl will come closest to her goal!
