FX Fighter Kurumi-chan is airing after its October 1 debut, with episodes 1 through 4 reviewed and a same-day English dub streaming on Crunchyroll. The series is directed by Yuki Ogawa at Passione, with Aina Suzuki voicing Kurumi Fukuga and performing both theme songs.
FX Fighter Kurumi-chan arrived with a concrete launch plan. Kadokawa confirmed an October 1 debut in a main promotional video, with Yuki Ogawa directing at Passione and Kenta Ihara writing and overseeing the series scripts. Aina Suzuki, who voices Kurumi Fukuga, performs the opening theme "FX Senshi Kurumi-chan" and the ending theme. An earlier cast announcement added Asami Seto, Ayasa Ito, and Miho Okasaki. Crunchyroll announced at AnimagiC in Germany that it would stream the series, and the service later began a same-day English dub starring Kimoy Lee as Kurumi and Kate Clarke as Kozue.
The premiere set the show's terms. Kurumi is a middle schooler whose mother loses 20 million yen trading foreign exchange and hides the loss from her husband; Kurumi resolves to study forex mathematics so she can help once she is of age, while a friend warns that people who get involved in forex tend not to survive it long. A later account of episode 1 describes the mother jumping from a roof after the 2012 crash and Kurumi losing her savings as soon as she can trade legally. Takuro Iga scores.
Reviews of episodes 1 through 4 describe a show built on dissonance: cute girls, a bubbly opening theme, and Passione's visual flourishes around Forex trading that can cost real money. The series opens with a full screen of warnings about Forex dangers. Community scores for those episodes range from 4.2 to 4.8. The review argues the show works because it keeps the audience in the same passive watching position as a trader hitting Buy, which it says is the distinction between this and fantasy gambling series like Kaiji and Kakegurui.
