His shonen side is on the other hand a dark personality living within him, coming out for some hours every night and kicking ass of monsters.

He has a split personality! His harem side is that of the archetypical weak dork with glasses, going to school and constantly being ridiculed at every turn of the way with his lame behaviour towards women and his zero power. And no, don’t believe that this makes a good spin on the formula because it’s not a blend but a disjoined coexistence. So the lead hero is a combo of a harem lead and a shonen lead. They still ruined it after season four though. As for the director, his entire roster is full of mediocrities, with the only exception being Ranma ½ and even there it was rather good because of the source material. The animation studio is THAT PIECE OF SHIT Studio DEEN! I get Goosebumps just by mentioning the name OH THE HORROR! Nobody with minimum taste is going to like anything that comes out of the back hole of that crappy studio. And by average I am referring to how it follows the basic shonen formula, minus the constant shouting and perpetual on-going training and fighting.If you look who else is on the production team besides the above wet dream then prepare to encounter a nightmare.

If the above magician’s trick isn’t enough to con you, then you will mostly see this anime as something average with some rare outbursts at good. Damn, how easy it is for people to like a show for what is going on behind the scenes and not on the stage. Why “almost” you may ask? Well, the lead character is voiced by Jun Fukuyama, and that magically makes everything look better for the casual viewers. Nurarihyon no Mago is an almost typical shonen show with an almost typical premise.
