Will continue watching and I feel like this is very enjoyable, will probably try playing the game.In the year 2045, the world has been contaminated by Irōsu (mysterious invaders who suddenly appeared), and humans find themselves restricted and contained. The balance of school comedy and action is more consistent than SS and while nothing is really explained for now, I like the overall terminology. The ending had a suspense and I'm wondering if Misaki is truly Miki's sister considering they share the same haircolor and eyes. As far the dialogue go, it appears that the girls are outright strong and almost always remain on duty seeing how the teachers also act like battle advisors to them. The setting look about as typical as it can get but I like how it is going so far. Music by kz (livetune) is great and I like the composition and arrangment of many tracks played in. Visuals are ok but nothing spectacular to say, but the coloring is vibrant. However, the fighting animation is refined and many characters are likeable for me. The beginning had potential but I found the colleration between the fast pacing and the large female cast to be contrived and I don't like the transformation scenes. Action scenes have decent spectacle, anyway, and the character designs are largely very good.Īverage first episode, liked it more than Schoolgirl Strikers. So at a drama/suspense level, it didn't work that well for me. I mean, there's no real sense given that things could conceivably go very badly if the girls don't take things more seriously.

It creates a decent point of interest for watching more.Īs for the main story - The monsters being fought here are kinda underwhelming, so far, so that drains some suspense and tension out of the adult dialogue for me. The cast as a whole seems fun, but it's just such a big cast thrown right at me full-throttle that it's hard for me to get much of an impression from most of the characters.Įpisode 1 did have a few very nice moments, so there are some flashes of talent on display here, but I wish some scenes were allowed to breath a bit more. The core overarching story of the episode isn't hard to follow, but there's an awful lot going on in total. I mean, it's an incredible parade of quick scenes with sharp cuts. And since that's the case I don't think there's any reason why they can't spend their off-time like regular girls if they want to.Įpisode 1 of this is one of the most hectic anime episodes I've ever seen. Maybe they aren't going all-out, because they've never really had to (there are enough of them that they can cover for each other, so mistakes aren't fatal), but they respect the importance of what they're doing. The girls are treating this seriously enough. They immediately ran into battle, despite already being late to the performance they had really wanted to attend, with nothing other than a short "what about the people who are normally on duty tonight?" As soon as it was clear that no one else was in a position to handle it, Miki didn't even question turning and running straight there to help. Despite what the teachers were saying, it didn't look to me like the girls lacked respect for their job. Hell, Miki (The one that looks like Haruka) barely even protested when told to go save people. Just let the girls be silly as long as they're doing their job when it matters. Here's a fun fact: apparently the game has younger versions of the two female teachers as well. Hell, Miki (The one that looks like Haruka) barely even protested when told to go save people.Īs for the new girl, apparently she's an original character, that is, one that doesn't appear in the game, so that's most likely why. but after seeing Brave Witches I have to agree with you: Just let the girls be silly as long as they're doing their job when it matters. Is she, perhaps, less important than she seems?Ī year ago, I'd have said that focus could have potential.
BATTLE GIRL HIGH SCHOOL MISAKI SERIES
I also notice that angsty new girl with the claw-hand-thing doesn't seem to be in any of the previews or key visuals or other such materials we were shown prior to the series airing. "How dare you enjoy a fulfilling ordinary schoolgirl life?! We must turn you into traumatized war survivors teetering on the edge of PTSD who have to drink yourselves to sleep at night!" But apparently someone (or rather, several someones) seems to think they aren't cynical enough.
