Naria Girls is perhaps one of the worst anime I have ever seen and is definitely the worst title from this year thus far, even worse than other pieces of dookie such as "Big Order" or "Mayogia". It's that bad! Everything about this anime reeks of laziness from the opening credits, to the animation to the voice acting. Nothing in this show is remotely decent and everything makes me want to throw up into a basket of puppies. The plot makes no sense and I won't even try to explain it in this review. It's about three girls that become magical girls and have to fight theforces of evil or some crap like that. Boring and generic. What really makes this anime so bad, however, is the atrocious "script"...if you could even call it that. Most of the dialogue between the three girls is improvisation and none of what they say is funny or even makes sense half the time. Every joke falls flat and the topics they talk about don't even make any sense with no consistency or flow between what each person is saying. It's like these voice actresses got drunk, spoke some random trash which was recorded and lazily dubbed over animated girls. If there is some 'deep' symbolism behind what they're saying, I have no clue what it is (and let's face it, there is none)

The animation is terrible. It consists of either still frames, which you'd think would at least have some good quality artwork, but NOPE! These frames are badly drawn and look like aids. The other half is made up of CGI (ohhhhh my favourite!) which look terrible. The models have no texture and look like they were ripped from a PS1 game and the characters are constantly moving around or jumping. It's almost as bad as the film 'Food Fight'. Not only that, the mouths don't sync up to what they're saying and often, the two character models will walk into each other, passing through one another entirely. This extremely lazy and I wonder how the hell in 2016 could this be played on television?

I'm not even sure who this anime is marketed at. Even with all the pandering and the such, I'm sure no sweaty otaku in Japan would even go near this show with a 50-foot pole. It's the worst anime of this year and you should stay far away from it unless you're one of this sick twats like me who enjoy watching garbage anime.

Where do I start? Story: I have seriously no idea, they're some sort of magical girls? Art: It's 3D animated very poorly and the fight scenes are just a drawn picture with sound. Sound: Mostly good but sometimes the sound of one of the girl gets so loud and weird the auido peaks Character: Just bloody awful, they walk with crabby legs, they have clipping issues all the time and they even walk into eachother clipping through.Enjoyment: Well, it's so bad that it's actually kinda enjoyable. Just sitting there and wondering how this was even allowed to be made. Pretty good tbh.

Overall: A score of 3, badly and lazily done, alot of issues and just plain ugly.

You should still watch it though.

"Vatican Carrots!" Look at all of the bad reviews. How many episodes have they seen? 1 or 2 episodes is undoubtedly not enough to give this anime a holistic and comprehensive review. Don't let this anime's synopsis fool you. If you take this anime seriously, then its score of 3.91 will be no shock to you. But this anime is not meant to be taken seriously. Its story is actually just a background for the refreshingly candid and original humor. The animation and voice acting are deliberately this way to perfectly fit the anime's theme. It's just satirically hilarious. Granted, its humor is not for everyone. Mahou ShoujoNaria Girls' humor is very particular, and it expects the audience to have some kind of prior understanding/experience with its type of humor. It's not at all a generic comedy, and it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

Each episode is kind of structured in a certain way. The three Naria girls start out in some situation, to which there is often some impromptu comedic conversation. They then encounter a monster, and this monster leads them to enact a scenario impromptu, and as a result of the spontaneity, hilarity ensues. I really cannot praise the voice actors enough. From what I saw, each of their comedic skits was almost totally impromptu, with maybe some minimal guide-lining to make sure that they at least advance the plot a little bit. To be able to come up with this kind of humor on the spot is pretty impressive.

There is also the "main" story, in which the Naria girls need to fill up their Naria power to defeat the evil Ice Queen. The story itself has its moments, and if the comedy was not included, then it might have had the potential to become a compelling short story. It truly wasn't a terrible story. Cliche, but decently interesting.

I think the main thing that is very off-putting at first is the art, animation, and conversational style. To me, it seemed like the voice actors were actually video-recorded, and then they were reskinned in production to become the anime characters. So as a result, the animation seems strange and it doesn't seem well-planned. Most of the time there isn't really animation at all, it's just a still picture with sound effects and a narrative voice-over. And at first, the unfamiliar comedy is a bit jarring because the girls tend to all talk at once with seemingly no direction and no script. But all of these things actually are what contribute so much to the humor: all of the comedy seems impromptu and very candid. The bad animation style, the random conversations; each piece deliberately emphasizes this anime's satirical nature.

Don't take this anime seriously. Don't watch it expecting an emotional, inspiring story. Don't watch it expecting the battle scenes to blow you away with beautiful animation. Don't watch it expecting to learn a deeper moral lesson than its surface implies.

If you want a laugh, and if you want some quality, refreshing, candid humor, this is the anime to watch.

I think that Mahou Shoujo: Naria Girls blows everything out of the water this season (haha just kidding, but I like it, seriously), the plot, is basically every other magial girl plot, so I an't complain about that... But, the concept is new and the fact that it's actually just three girls sitting in a room and spouting nonsense and it still keeps me entertained is something shocking and fun to not take too seriously. The bad animation only seems to add to it's shockingly charming factors, at least in my opinion, coming into it thinking it was another crappy ecchi with 3D models thatlooked like garbage like whatever that crane girls thing was last season.

I guess I just like things that are self aware and don't try too hard.

Also, the still screen shots are actually cute.

All and all, the three girls are funny and having obvious fun that passes onto the people who watch it, and if you're upset about something like the blatant voices overlapping and bad clipping through each other I think you're kinda missing the point.

It's absurd, looks bad, and fun. Whatever.

This feels like a poorly written web series and that's the best thing that I can state for it it. I'm not even going to give this my whole analytical review thing on my blog instead posting it here in a more stream lined approach. Story: This is a slice of life series, don't let the magical girl premise confuse you. They throw in magical girl elements to give it some further plot but that doesn't really matter when most of the series is comprised of conversations covering small talk before or after classes. And then making fun of magical girl series. I guess the worstpart is that it all sounds very improvised, instead of getting a team of writers on the show they got the voice actresses to just talk about any random thing that comes to mind with a few small things written in there. For instance, and I wouldn't call this a spoiler, we go straight form a scene where one girl is talking about liking gorillas and I think colds and then they go into this conversation about how she doesn't feel like she'll ever amount to anything. And the actual plot that we get is told to us by the main character, though I think her being generic was meant to be a joke, same with having the token blonde girl and token big boobed girl.

Art: The opening sequence animation is well animated for the program it's used with and the transformation animations are good for the most part. But when it comes to the main animation, well, I've seen better animation on MMD from a smaller anime called "Hentai" (used in it's real meaning, pervert), that was pretty bad as well and it doesn't show up on MAL to my knowledge. What's worse is that this is made for TV. Mixed with the still frames for most of the scenes and the motion capture that makes these characters move a bit too realistically. The camera also moves extremely shaky, which was a poor choice on their part.

Sound: The opening theme is decent, I mean I've heard worse. But the voice acting isn't directed which is why I think it sounds improvised. They constantly attempt to talk over each other and I think there was actually a point where the subber had to fill the screen with subtitles because they were literally all talking at the same time. The voice actresses also really aren't suited to voice acting, they sound a bit too normal and that's strange to hear from a non-background character.

Character: Figityuck me if I could find any other than their token personalities. I'd have to rewatch each episode a few times over to listen to the tone of their voice, watch their movement, and also to re-read the subtitles.

Overall Rating: 2.25/10

It's terrible and I would not suggest watching it. To draw comparison, it makes me want to go back and watch Mars of Destruction or Skelter Haven again.

Wow, this sure is an underrated anime! But worry not, cause I'm here to clear this anime's name. I've seen that reviews here do this thing were they compare the anime that they're reviewing with others similar in style and more popularity. In this case I'll be choosing Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls: even though they aren't on the same genre, they share a unique way of telling their respective stories. That's why I'll use it as a metric for rating this anime. Story: 6/10 (1/10 if compared to other animes) This anime engages in the common story-telling practice, usually found in seasonal animes that are 13 episodeslong, commonly known as "developing the plot on the last four episodes". Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls does this gracefully and better that any other anime that I've ever seen, developing all of it's plot in just three episodes. A truly exceptional work of art.

Both Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls and Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls share the trait of aggressively throwing important information over our heads right before it becomes important. I must recognize, however, that Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls' plot twist is far better than Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls' one, being the latter evident as soon as the information was revealed.

What made me compare both isn't this two characteristics, however, but a more unique one: in both animes, episodes consist of characters saying stupid things in front of a microphone (which makes it more confusing when we are supposed to take them seriously on the last episodes).

6/10, since both are quite similar.

Art: 9/10 (1/10)

In this aspect Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls distinguish itself from Nyan Neko. The latter has a recognizable MMD style, contrasting with the classic MSpaint style that makes Nyan Neko so recognizable. I found that most people don't find this style particularly appealing and criticize some of it's quirks as it they were flaws. The clipping that constantly happens when a character moves is seen as a bug when it's a feature, one of the things that makes this art-style so enjoyable.

I also enjoyed that the fights were depicted as an still pictures with a different art style than the one seen in the rest of the series. It's reminiscent of Nyan~ Neko sugar girl's opening, which used the same tactic.

I only gave it a 9/10, however, since I kinda miss Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girl's style. It could be a ten, if they drew the fights using MS paint.

Also, should I include the part where they transform and look exactly the same?

Sound: 2/10 (4/10)

In this aspect, Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls definitely distances itself from Nyan~ Neko. Instead of the quality work that Nyan did with it's voice acting (especially the nurse's), we have a voice acting done by professional microphones— acceptable, I guess, but it clashes with the choice they did for the show's animation. They have bits were they can't contain their laughter or directly forget the dialog/improvise, and that's why I decided it was worth a 2 instead of a 1.

The opening was bland, the ending fells short if compared to Nyan's— but what ending doesn't?

Character: 1/10 (5/10)

Look, we have three characters: the flat chested girl, the girl who has boobs, and the protagonist. That's all, there's no other personality trait that distinguishes them. I still gave a 4 (decent) because that's how many animes are, it would be unjust to criticize Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls for it.

At least in Nyan~ every character had a distinguishable characteristic that made them all lovable.

My favourite character in this show was a monster, who appeared in one episode and was sad. This character alone elevates the rating from 4 to 5.

Enjoyment: 10/10

I enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed Nyan, which is to say a lot. The dialog was amazing, the artwork was one of the best that I've ever seen and the pacing of the story was simply perfect. There's nothing else to say.

I'll break character for a brief moment in this review: yes, it was awful. But what else can I say? Is so awful that it starts to be enjoyable at some point. I mean it when I say that this is underrated: even if it isn't at My Immortal's level, I think it deserves a better recognition as the awful— yet enjoyable— anime that it is.

Six years ago, a group of mad geniuses unleashed upon our world a work that would change anime comedy forever. That was not this show. But without it, this show would not exist. Mahou Shoujo? Naria Girls is part of a genre of absurdist, largely improvised comedies that have been coming out from directors Koutarou Ishidate and Souta Suguhara since 2011's gdgd Fairies. If you've seen that show (or Tesagure! Bukatsumono, SeHa Girls or Straight Title Robot Anime), you have an idea of what to expect from Naria Girls, but for everyone else: This is a style of comedy that relies on its own absurdity tobe funny. The animation is deliberately bad, the story is a tongue-in-cheek excuse for improvised segments and the characters are, quite literally, the voice actresses playing themselves. It's a very particular style of comedy, and most certainly not for everyone, but it's important to point out that the show is /intentionally/ like this. It's not trying to be a real magical girl show, it's not even trying to parody one - the best way I can describe it is that it's poking fun of itself for pretending to be a magical girl show.

The art and animation is, objectively, terrible. That's part of the joke. Naria Girls is animated in Miku Miku Dance, as far as I can tell using very primitive motion capture to replicate the movements of the voice actresses in every scene outside of the stock footage. This of course results in awkward movement (the characters look like they're constantly hunched over), low-res character models and a whole lot of unfixed clipping. 'Plot' scenes are rendered in 2D still frames, underlining the separation between the segments (because under the magical girl veneer, this is a VA improv sketch show) and how completely superfluous the plot is. Likewise, the characters are quite literally skins for their actresses to inhabit, with barely any character traits of their own.

As of episode 4, Naria Girls has yet to reach the heights of the best of its predecessors, and though it has a few very solid jokes under its belt already, it might never get there. One problem is the lack of visual variety. While previous shows in the same genre had an arsenal of absurd tricks to draw on (like gdgd's magic room and SeHa Girls' game worlds) Naria Girls is so far limiting itself to the three girls talking with no props, and that's holding it back from getting truly creative with its gags. Another is that Naria Girls might be relying TOO heavily on improv - while that was a feature of all of its predecessors, most of them mixed it up with scripted sketches, but here improvised segments are only interrupted briefly by 'plot' segments, giving less variety in the jokes.

Humor is subjective and explaining a joke is the easiest way to ruin it. Naria Girls largely expects you to be familiar with it's style of humor and spends no time winking at the audience. You're supposed to figure out on your own that the transformations end with the same outfits they begin with, that the evil plots are improv prompts and that the answer to 'can we, the makers of gdgd Fairies, make a real magical girl show?' is a resounding NO. Whether this is funny or not is a matter of taste, and the show makes it easy to miss the joke entirely, but if this style of humor is for you, give it a try. It 's not the best of it's kind, but definitely worth watching.

well ill give this anime one thing it made me laugh. not in a good way tho i was laughing at how trash the art style was. I feel like the writer basically got 3 random girls off the street and put a body tracking system on them. put them in front of a green screen then told them all to talk at the same time. So annoying, the first 6 eps are all the same thing. After the 6th ep a bunch of random stuff happens that has no way to fit into the show also the first ep had nothing to do withthe rest of the show go watch sailor moon if u want a magic school girl show. 1/10 nothing is good about this anime oh wait at first there is like 5 seconds in the op that was kinda lit when the killed mob looking things but if that the best this anime has then its really bad.

If you like shows such as "Whos Line is it Anyway?", then you may like this show. I first discovered this on Crunchyroll and found the image poster to be pretty so I wanted to see what it was like. I suppose you could say the image is rather misleading considering the anime itself consists of cgi motion capture with some stillframe illustrations. I didn't expect myself to watch more after the first episode, but regardless if it was curiosity, enjoyment or the need of always finishing an anime, I kept watching. It's a parody anime that much is obivious. Morso it's an experiment probably withsome well known voice actors in Japan. If one isn't caught up on current trends or humor from Japan it can easily become lost on American audiences. I think episode 9 is when it started to get pretty funny. The end is rather Madoka-esque and I know it's a parody magical girl show but I was hoping for a more light hearted ending.

Main point! If you like improv shows, you will like this. The animation is less to be desired but it's not really ment to be taken seriously...I'm more curious as to how they made it. I need to look up the behind the scenes for this.

Ok so this anime was quite weird and not for my tastes in anime. I can see it having some sort of comedic value to some people but not me. There are three girls one girl is naria autumn and the other is naria summer and naria spring and the antagonist is another girl called naria winter I think. It's really weird how they explain the plot and I dont think its really going anywhere in the episodes IMO. I think they single out naria summer a lot and I dont know if that's comedy or not but it doesn't seem like it to meI just did not enjoy it.

TL:DR Anime is odd and not for me and the characters single out one of the other main characters.

Naria Girls is a miserable excuse for a magical girl series. The animation is absolutely appalling. Though the poster shows passable character designs for the girls, most of the show is animated with horrific CG character models that don’t work well with the background at all. The characters rarely even move significantly, standing in the same spots with different backgrounds each episode. When movement is made, it’s rigid with parts of character’s bodies often cutting through their clothes or hair. The only remotely acceptable pieces of animation were in the opening and closing sequences as well as the transformation scenes, all three of which stillmake season one Love Live dance numbers look like masterpieces by comparison. Characters and plot are nonexistent. Episodes primarily consist of characters standing in the same position each episode talking to one another with dialogue so boring that l could no longer follow the conversation. I'm usually fine with characters that fall into very typical anime tropes because a good plot can use those tropes to its advantage, but when characters are defined only by their trope and they have no plot to support them, the whole show just becomes a predictable mess. I’m one of those people who can enjoy horrible shows and books like Magical Girl Site and The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku and laugh at their hilarious, but passionately presented failures. No enjoyment came out of watching this. There was absolutely no effort put into this show on any level of production, and it clearly shows.

alright, I can't watch this. I only saw two episodes right now and it hurts to watch. that being said, still read the entire review. Story (6/10): it's a basic idea for a magical girl show. guy trapped in an crystal calls upon three random human girls to help save him and stop an evil ice queen. Art (7/10): the designs are rather interesting and the 2D art can be rather expressive. Animation (2/10): the only things that move are the motion captured 3D models that move so terribly that it hurts me to watch. the intro is fine, but the capture is not, and we're stuck withthe capture for 90% of the episode.

Sound (6/10): the music is good, but the real fun is in the voice actors. they're not bad (far from it) and it's not what they say, but how they say it. in the motion capture segments, their conversations seem rather natural. they stutter at random points, they interrupt each other quite a bit, they actually seem interested in what they're saying. most of this is likely unintentional and a result of bad production, but this particular lack of quality actually benefits the show unironically in my opinion.

Character (8/10): this show is filled to the brim with it. yes, the girls are your standard magical girls, but they are unapologetically so. they seem to know that some of this is stupid, and they're having a fantastic time being in it.

Enjoyment (2/10): make this a traditional 2D animation! make this a better 3D animation! just have it be a moving slideshow! just have it be a Manga! just have it be a visual novel! have this be an audio book (with an English dub)! the motion capture is so bad, it ruins any enjoyment I would have of this. my enjoyment would be a 9 if I had something better to look at or if I could just listen to it and know what they were saying.

Overall (5/10): this would be a 7 if not for the 3D motion capture (though I think you know that by now). if you can get farther into this, good for you, you're stronger than I. I can easily see why people enjoy this, I just can't get past that darn 3D...

If you go into this show expecting a "normal" anime, you're going to be very disappointed. This is not a normal anime. The best way I can describe it is a couple VTubers doing improv sketch comedy in VR chat. There was an attempt at an overarching story, but it's so cliche that it really isn't worth paying attention to for the most part (with the exception of the final episode where everything suddenly gets way more serious out of nowhere, which gave me some serious tonal whiplash. In a good way that is) I don't think I even need to say anything about the animation.It's bad. Probably the worst I've seen in anime so far. Just some bad motion capture on ugly, static backgrounds. Although I will admit, the fact that their outfits don't change even a little bit when they transform is kinda funny.

Despite all that tho, I can't bring myself to hate this anime. It's clear that the people who made this had a lot of fun and it clearly wasn't meant to be a "good" show anyway. So if you're looking for an actual anime to watch, please avoid this show. But if you just pretend it's a vtuber stream you can probably get some enjoyment out of this.

Yawn... Plot and story: So, the "story" follows Urara, Hanabi and Inaho, who become the three legendary Naria girls - Spring, Summer and Autumn - to stop the evil Ice Queen from sending her monsters to Earth. The story is rushed. Everything happens so quickly and the episodes are repetetive. All episodes go something like this; 1. The girls talk about something random 2. Monster appears 3. The girls do some improvisation sketches 4. They transform 5. They call out random names of their attacks and defeat the monsterIt's the same thing over and over again. The only thing that changes are the jokes.

There are no fighting scenes either. Just pictures.

Oh, and let's not forget about all the commercials for Final Fantasy, music singles and new anime.

Characters:

I've got two word for this; Flat and uncreative

It's basiaclly the same character with three different appearances. And all three just happen to have the same amount of character development - none.

Much like regular magical girl anime, they have a "mascot" for the team - Animaru - who gave them access to their powers.

We barely ever see him after the first episode except when the girls need to transform. It's not until episode 5 when we actually get to see him. Then he disappears again.

And don't even get me started on the "bad guys".

This is one of the few anime I've watched that I didn't care about any of the characters.

Hmm? How little I cared, you ask? The characters are so uninteresting that when the protagonist's grandma was about to die, I yawned. And when she actually died, I almost laughed.

It's impossible to take the characters (or anything else in this anime for that matter) seriously. That's how bad it is.

Animation / Art:

Horrific. The "anime" has 3D animation on a low budget. Most of the scenes they use are frozen pictures. You can only hear the sound effects and voices.

The only times they actually move are when they talk and during their transformation scenes. And the animation isn't even good.

The 3D animation is basically just like the MMD (Miku Miku Dance). Actually, the Youtubers who make MMD videos can do better than this anime.

As for the character designs, I can't even tell the difference between their transformation outfits and their regular school uniforms. Where they even trying?

Music and voice acting:

The opening and ending's fast pace matches the story's pace, as well as the characters' "personalities". The music itself is decent. Nothing special.

The voice acting is actually good. The characters' conversations sound quite realistic at times. Like they're having a normal conversation in real life. Sometimes. But just like they have some realistic conversations, they sometime overdo it.

Ending:

The part of the anime you wish would happen sooner. The more you watch of the anime, the more you long for its ending.

The ending itself was predictable, unoriginal and boring. Nothing I haven't seen hundreds of times already.

Overall:

I can see that it's supposed to be a parody of magical girls anime. And I can see what they're making fun of.

However, Cute High Earth Defense Club Love is also a parody, but that anime actually does it right. I'd rather recommend people to watch that anime than Naria Girls.

But if you have some time to kill and are curious about how bad the Naria Girls anime is; good luck.

Now Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls is the probably worst show I have EVER seen now that says A LOT... When I first watched Narnia Girls I was surprised with how BAD it was, the anime is about 3 girls that are I think magical girls and for no reason idols(?), the anime reuses scenes (that are basically just pictures that look like horrible drafts) the other scenes are just the 3 girls together talking over eachother, I can't even follow the subs, and that not because the subs are bad but because they are all talking at the same time and its just VERY confusing! Thestory is not followable and makes NO sence it deserves a 1!

The Art is really bad, the 3D models look ugly and when there is a "picture" scene (for example when they defeat a "monster" with lipstick that came out of nowhere for no reason whatsoever or when they get to school) it looks like a horrible draft... deserves a 1, now for the sound I am giving it a 1 also, the talking is done horrible with EVERYONE sounding the same and talking over each other! I kinda enjoyed it because of how stupid it is so I will give enjoyment a 3...

Overall the show is Horrible and deserves a 1, usually I am fine with shows that are so bad their good but this "anime" fails at everything...

It's an ambitious project to sell their capture motion device and make their VAs very famous. (Perhaps they made money selling it to V-Tubers, who knows) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1XggkjyDzA (Video showcasing behind the scenes) The show is satire so disconsider all the 1s, however that doesn't mean the satire is good or funny, it just pulls you a prank in the first episode that you're thinking whether it's satire or not. I was watching it with my s/o as a joke and it feels so draining to watch it in one go even though the episodes are 8 mins each. So far the only thing I'd give props toit are the voice actors and the ending, they're very good and the song is catchy (btw Kaguya-sama and Komi-san's VA is one of the characters before the fame I'd guess LOL).

Idk if the ratings show regardless if I write or not, but I'd say:

Story 4 it's satirical, but it's bad satire;

Art 6 (considering the time it was made imo);

Sound 8, I've complimented the VAs and the songs, so I have nothing else to say;

Character 1 they're really unfunny and are trying to be as "quirky xd" as possible;

Enjoyment 3 it was fun while I noticed it was satire in the first ep, but then it became annoying and draining;

Overall 4 would recommend watching it with someone else, but it's too bad, so I'm not sure if it's even worth it.

I wanted to watch this anime since i was looking for terribly rated shows and wanted to see how bad they really are. At first I was surprised that this was a comedy/satire and not a serious magical girl anime like the tags say. That gave me a tiny bit of hope that it's intentionally bad and therefore kinda good and not gonna lie some jokes in the second episode made me laugh but wel, that's it. Other than that it is horrorble. Story: 1/10. The story is intentionally super generic but that doesn't make it good just because it's a "joke" Art 1/10. I mean... yeah, thatone should be obvious

Sound: 4/10. The voice acting is horrorble, straight up 1/10 however the Opening and Ending themes are surprisingly decent which feels weird to say.

Character: 1/10: The characters have the same problem as the story does, they are intentionally bad and rely on tropes but it's just insufferable. they exist solely for the purpose of making really bad jokes.

Enjoyment: 3/10. Why so "high" you may asked? Well, because that one Madoka magica referece in Ep2 really made me laugh, otherwise pretty much 1/10.

Overall: 2/10: Only watch this if you are aware it's a satire and if you have really strange humor.

Oh god. What even is this? I didn’t exactly have high expectations in the first place, but they just became nonexistent the first five minutes of this garbage. I wanted to make a review, so I had to suffer through all 12 episodes and pray this would stop. I cannot wait to return to the actual anime world and not this. STORY: The story is quite unpredictable but I didn’t like it. The ending was confusing. ART: Look up one image of this show if you already haven’t, and you will be absolutely mortified. SOUND: I would say it’s the show’s only strong point since I didenjoy the ED but that’s it.

CHARACTER: The characters except the pink girl was not well developed.

ENJOYMENT: Cannot believe I actually forced myself to sit through eight minutes of pain 12 times. The jokes and puns sucked and didn’t laugh once.

PLEASE SKIP THIS ANIME EVEN IF YOU ARE CURIOUS. IT IS PURE TRASH. WATCH AN ACTUAL ANIME
