Anime: Mousou Kagaku Series: Wandaba Style 5f3b18

Here are Just some thoughts, not full featured review.
I just hate when author is trying to put deep philosophical meaning into slapstick comedy.

Story: these series suck completely here. It seems like multiple authors are working independently and cant decide if they are making comedy, tragedy, ecchi or childish series.
seems that creators were trying to please everyone, but result is complete disaster.

So, we have story worse than "Tom & Jerry" some Lots of silly jokes interleaved with attempts to make story tragic. few scenes if suggestive nudity and finally almost tragic love loli of robot who is even incapable to make right facial expression of her feelings.
it is quite hard to tell where you should laugh and where you should cry.

However overall value is somehow acceptable if you are ready to ignore everything and just watch these silly jokes. and try to ignore everything else.

Judging from the lack of ratings, nobody is watching this series. Rate me, Rate me! No cost, no bad effects, and we appreciate every suck-up statement written.  This review is based on the 3 R1 DVDs, so it's a "Full, final and fair" review.

What is it about? Ecchi Panzu Riot! Robot maids, geeky wealthy brilliant genius, harem women, and 80's style 2D animation. Each episode watch the brilliant boy genius try to send 4 girls and his (frequently panty-clad) robot female assistant to the moon, just so he can have them be the first to sing from the moon. It's appropriate for brain-dead 16+ yr olds.

Forget logic. Forget taste. Don't expect great animation or even cool musical numbers. It's a harem comedy with ecchi built into the DNA by Director Nobuhiro Takamoto (Tenchi In Tokyo (TV)). It's wacky, wild, but ultimately not enough happens and you never become invested in any of the characters, which results in an unsatisfying excursion into the demented mind of original creator Juzo Mutsuki (Devil Hunter Yohko (OAV), Hand Maid Mai (OAV)). Someone rescue us, please!

Animation: What can I say positive?  There are worse series. The colors are pretty. The character designs are cute. That's about it. TNK (who I've never thought much of ever since screening Kannazuki no Miki) provided the "animation" and must have had no money and less time, because they did a even-worse-than-normal-bad job here IMHO. Backgrounds are average, as are mecha designs. Not much money went into creating animation cels. Not much effort went into creating real movement; instead, they pan the camera over a cel. Gahh.

I felt as if I was in a timewarp, heading back to Hare + Guu (which I loved but not for the animation) but Wandaba is not nearly as funny. I can't give it anything more than a 5, because it's average. And at times, it's much worse than average, like when the "Mix Juice" quartet of half-naked gals enters the cel and the animators just flip the cel with the 4 singing gals and we see them leaving the frame. Cringe. Horrible. 4 points, grudgingly.

Sound: OP is catchy JPop, performed by MixJuice itself (lyrics by previously mentioned crazyman Juzo Mutsuki, so they match the "plot" of the series), and it was sometimes the only entertaining (and explaining) part of an episode. The seiyuu are very talented but have nothing much to do, either in character development or relationship development, to showcase their many talents. It's really the fault of the script. Foley is average, Sound design is inventive (lots of good sounds provided by Hideo Takahashi (Hikaru no go, Cosplay Complex), but it's all frenetic crosstalk and noise to cover up the lack of a real script.

This gets a 7, and it might have been higher if it weren't for the noisome, noxious odor left by the rest of the material that tends to taint everything else in .

Story: Rich geek wunderkind Susumu "Hakase" Tsukumo (voiced by Kouki Miyata, who also voiced Mitsuru Hosaka in Goshuuoshou-sama Ninomiya-kun) has a brilliant idea: be the first to produce a live performance from the moon. He's absurdly wealthy enough to "hire" help from the American government. He's bright enough to create a talking bike and a female ecchi robot. But he hires his "live group" from a mendacious manager Michael (Susumu Chiba, frenetically overacting essentially the same character in Kirarin Revolution). In fact, if you want to see many of the same elements in an arguably worse series, check Kirarin Revolution out. Each week he's showing us one more stupid way to get to the moon. Each week we see pantzu or ecchi shots, as the director works HARD to find ways to get one or more of the gals naked. Fanservice never had a more dedicated team!  

5 points for inventive and illogical means for giving the fans what they want.

Character: What? You want ecchi AND character?  It's costly to give characters backstories, because you have to give them time and flashbacks. But they do give each of them a little bit, just barely enough to make them stand out from the background. Development? Did you see any character development in the Three Stooges? It's hard to show character development in a slapstick comedy, as that's not usually the point, so don't expect any. It's just enough if you find cute characters that are competently voiced, and that's what you do find in the Japanese language (though not the English dub, as usual). The characters are what will keep you from dumping it in the "return" pile, and as such, I am going to give a high value to this: 7 points.

Value and Enjoyment: Don't expect to enjoy this series unless you're bored with good stuff and want to have some gratuitous nudity flashed on the screen. The animation is not good enough for an adult's show, and the story can't convince and the characters are not 3D. So, I give it a 5 for value and a (God help me) 6 for enjoyment. 

Conclusion: You have been warned, there isn't much here to invite your attention. But for the erotically twisted, this is your chance to wallow.
