Anime News Network has published its review of FX Fighter Kurumi-chan episode 6, and the writeup zeroes in on what makes the series' comedy land differently than standard slapstick.

The reviewer likens the show to watching a foolish character fail and then face the consequences — except instead of comically tumbling down a staircase, the fallout is financial: Kurumi losing her student aid money to the brutal mathematics of forex trading. It's pratfall structure with real-world stakes, which is exactly the uncomfortable niche this trading-themed series occupies.

Six episodes in, the show continues to mine humor from a premise most anime wouldn't touch: a protagonist whose failures are measured in yen rather than bruises. The full episode review is up now at Anime News Network.
