Maburaho

I've already stated I like anime, and harem anime (named that for the disproportionate number of girls to guys) is one of my favorite types of Seisen. The point of harem anime is to put the characters into humorous situations based on an abnormal competition for the attention of the guy. In this type of anime, the female characters often behave in ways that are normally out of character because of their competition.

Alright, enought of the analysis, here's probably the best complement I can give this series. I actually laughed out loud at this series several times. The humor in this series is actually really funny. I cracked up several times. I'm not going to say I was rolling in the floor, but this series really is funny. Mostly it is from the situational humor, but there are some jokes that are thrown in just for laughs.

The series is centered around Aoi Academy, a school for elite magicians. The main character is Kazuki, who is a powerful magician, but he can only use his magic eight times or he will turn to ash. Because he is so powerful Yuna, Kuriko and Rin are all interested in his genes because he might father the most powerful magician in the world. Even though each of the girls have some major character faults and they chase him unmercifully, he still treats the girls really well, and uses his sparce magic to help or protect the girls.

I don't really want to give away much more than this, but along with The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Great Teacher Onizuka, I think Maburaho is one of the best anime's out there.
