Ah My Buddha
Oshimeter
Synopsis
What happens when you send a trainee monk to live at a Buddhist temple full of priestesses-in-training? Chaos, mostly. Ikkou Satonaka is 16, spiritually unremarkable, and stationed at Saienji Temple under his grandmother's watchful eye. Living alongside him are six young women: Chitose, Haruka, Sumi, Hinata, Sakura, and Yuko, each developing their own supernatural abilities for exorcisms and spiritual work. Ikkou, by contrast, seems pretty useless. Until he isn't. Turns out he has a latent power that would make him genuinely formidable, but it only activates when he sees a girl without clothes. His grandmother knows this. The girls eventually figure it out. Nobody is particularly happy about it. What follows across 12 episodes is a genuinely funny push-and-pull between Ikkou trying not to be a disaster and the temple's very real supernatural duties demanding that he occasionally step up. The Buddhist setting is a legitimately interesting backdrop, not just wallpaper, but woven into how the characters train and what they're working toward. If you liked Love Hina's harem-house comedic energy or Tenchi Muyo's blend of supernatural shenanigans with romantic tension, this sits comfortably in that neighborhood. Fans of Magikano will also recognize the rhythm of a clueless guy surrounded by capable women with powers he can barely keep up with. It's a lighthearted TV series from Studio Deen, nothing heavy, nothing particularly surprising, but comfortable and consistently funny if that's the mood you're in.

A rather weak conclusion. While it seems like there was supposed to be some development regarding Ikko's powers, it ultimately feels like nothing really changed.
This is a Christmas-themed episode that explores Ikko's powers a bit more, but unfortunately it doesn't lead to any meaningful development. The story feels stagnant, and even the comedy is weaker than usual. Overall, it's just an okay episode.
In this episode, Ikko and the others travel to a hot spring. I'm not really a fan of this one. While Ikko has always been the butt of the jokes, this episode felt like it existed solely to torment him, which made the comedy less enjoyable for me. On the bright side, the villains finally makes a move, giving the story some much-needed progression.
This episode focuses on Chitose as she helps the spirit of a deceased idol fulfill her final dream. While the premise seems simple at first, the story is surprisingly heartfelt and has more depth than I expected. The comedy is still there, but I especially enjoyed the emotional drama, which made this one of the stronger episodes so fa
This episode focuses on Yuuko as she struggles with the love letter she received. Yuuko looked really cute with makeup, but I wasn't a fan of how the story concluded, the entire episode feels like a potential character development. Surprisingly, there wasn't a single spirit in this episode.
This episode focuses on Hinata. Once again, it delivers plenty of laughs while also mixing in some emotional drama that gives the story more depth. There are also a few hints about the series' antagonist.
This episode focuses on Haruka, while also and about tokusatsu series. As a tokusatsu fan myself, I really enjoyed this episode and appreciated all the references. Ikko's superpower is also slowly turning into a punchline.
This episode focuses on Sakura while also being a school festival episode. It isn't as funny or packed with jokes as the previous episodes, but it still tells a nice story.
This episode focuses on Chitose once again, this time highlighting her obsession with horror movies. I guess she doesn't even realize it's already a hobby. There are plenty of horror movie parodies throughout the episode, and they made for some really funny moments.
A funny and fairly lewd swimsuit episode. The fanservice was entertaining, and the comedy landed well throughout. That said, I do wish the episode had focused more on Sumi.
This episode focuses on Chitose as she tries to find a new hobby. It has noticeably less ecchi than the previous episode, but it's still really funny. There were plenty of jokes that genuinely made me laugh. Unfortunately it has many off-shot drawing,
A classic harem rom-com that embraces many of the genre's familiar tropes. I really liked how the very first scene immediately set the tone for what the rest of the series would be like. I also enjoyed the unusual mix of ecchi comedy and Buddhist themes—two things that seem completely at odds with each other, yet somehow work surprisingly well together.
Episode 12 brings the season’s comedy and supernatural elements together nicely. Ikkou faces another difficult situation, while Chitose and the others add humor and energy to the story. The episode delivers a fun conclusion without spoiling the major moments.
Episode 11 is full of playful teasing and funny misunderstandings. Ikkou struggles to keep his composure while Chitose's reactions make several scenes memorable. The comedy stays entertaining without giving away the episode's key moments.
Episode 10 keeps the comedy flowing with plenty of awkward situations and playful misunderstandings. Ikkou's reactions are as entertaining as ever, and Chitose's determination adds to the fun without revealing the episode's biggest moments.
Episode 9 delivers plenty of laughs as music becomes the center of the chaos. Ikkou's flustered reactions and Chitose's determination make several scenes memorable, while the comedy stays light without revealing the episode's outcome.
Episode 8 leans into awkward romantic comedy without losing its charm. The confession misunderstandings create plenty of funny moments, and Chitose and Ikkou's interactions keep the episode engaging while avoiding any major spoilers.
Episode 7 mixes lighthearted comedy with a fun search around the temple. Ikkou's awkward attempts to help keep backfiring, while Chitose's determination and the group's banter make the episode entertaining without revealing the outcome.
Episode 6 balances comedy and chaos well. I liked how Ikkou keeps trying to help but only makes things more complicated, and Chitose's reactions steal several scenes. The transformation gags land without giving away the episode's biggest moments.
What a way to go. Ikko's circumstances are on the spotlight and another great test is about to begin. All the help is offered by the monk girls but this seems absolutely tough. Amazing ending to a fascinating season. Let's chase good karma!
