Megami Paradise is exactly what it s itself to be- an ecchi comedy with magic and upskirts and monsters. There's really not that much more to it, and insofar as this is its mission, it certainly does what it sets out to do. Beginning with the story, it's a pretty simple affair with a magical kingdom and an evil sorcerer queen who wants to rule over it and destroy a magical stone that keeps evil at bay, while a scrappy group of girls in service to the Mamamega save the realm. The Mamamega, by the way, is the good queen, while the Yamimama is the evil one, which got a chuckle out of me every time I heard either title. There's not really much else to say about the story, other than that is does its job of justifying the anime's existence, with a fair dash of self-aware comedy as it does so.

The real star here is the art, which is obviously what the people behind this anime put all their effort into. The character designs are fun and appealing, the use of color is vibrant and interesting, and even the animation managed to impress. of course, all of this is in service of a pretty basic ecchi anime, but its technical quality must still be recognized regardless.

The sound meets all basic standards of quality, with the voice work standing out as lively and energetic.

The characters are also pretty good, meeting their basic roles as somewhat generic heroines meant to fill their niches in fun ways. Of them, Lilith and Rurubell are the strongest, Lilith because she actually feels like a fully realized character with agency in the story, and Rurubell as an interesting take on the cutesy magical girl trope. Overall, Megami paradise is something you really can just judge by its cover. Regardless of its relative technical quality, it really is just a simple ecchi anime at the end of the day, and while it's not gratuitous by any means, it is still self-aware of its identity as some good old lowbrow slop, and if that's your thing, this'll be right up your alley.
