It's a series with good comedy and good characters. The relationship between the two main characters felt very organic and genuine. This happens when characters aren't perfect and you give them flaws; it allows them to learn from their mistakes, and we as the audience can empathize with them. The only negative thing I have to say is that the use of ecchi is completely unnecessary.

Synopsis
At just 16 years old, Ichiko Sakura has basically won the cosmic lottery — gorgeous, rich, smart, and lucky enough that everything just falls into place for her. The catch? She's unknowingly siphoning Fortune energy from everyone around her, leaving a trail of bad luck in her wake. Enter Momiji, the Goddess of Poverty, who shows up to take back that stolen fortune and restore balance to the world. Momiji is broke, flat-chested, lives in a cardboard box under a bridge, and is absolutely furious about all of it. What follows is a 13-episode TV series of these two going at each other's throats in increasingly ridiculous ways — slapstick brawls, supernatural gadgets, parody references flying everywhere. But here's what makes Binbougami ga work: underneath all the gag humor, Ichiko is genuinely lonely. Her luck pushes people away, and watching her slowly confront that while Momiji keeps dragging her off her pedestal gives the comedy real weight. The show isn't afraid to get surprisingly sincere between the chaos. Studio Sunrise brought sharp, expressive animation to sell both the physical comedy and the quieter character beats. If you liked the absurd energy of something like Ninja Nonsense or the irreverent comedy of Shimoneta, this fits right in that lane. Fans of Akiba's Trip: The Animation will also find a similar vibe here — loud, reference-heavy, and way more heartfelt than it has any right to be.

Quick Takes
View all 40 takesConsidering how strange and funny this series is, I'm surprised I'd never heard of it before, given how old it is. It has plenty of meme material; it's not a masterpiece, but it's very original within the comedy genre. It has better characters than many generic, famous shonen anime. By the way, I have to mention Ranmaru and how cute she is when she interacts with her crush. We need more female characters like her.
I think this is the problem with these kinds of comedies: they overuse fanservice, but it gets to a point where it becomes uncomfortable to watch, especially if you're not a man. It's not funny to objectify female characters and normalize obsessive, stalkerish characters that disgusted me. If there's anything redeemable, it's Keita's presence and his interactions with the girls; he's the only decent man.
