Busou Shinki: Armored War Goddess

So reading the tags of this anime (action, sci-fi) you may think (like i did): "Cool! Custom cute robots fighting!"; well that was true, but not the only truth. Most of the anime will lack a TRUE background plot and the fighting scenes are not...really the top... Let me explain in the deep: Plot - 5 (i am being good here) Basically it's a slice of life anime without a defined plot. After the first episode you could see the ep 6, then the 2 and you will notice NOTHING. The only exception to this are some minor arcs of two episodes but that's all; you can seethe last two episodes after the first one and all will looks just fine. Not a single evolution of events in the whole anime, boring. Characters - 5 Standards characters: a blond and a blue airheads, the tsundere and the heroine. The master is a totally bland character so they are just "mediocre" Enjoyment - 4 (that's my personal opinion) I hate it. The first episode was promising with Ann (the heroine) almost defeating in a fight one of the champion of the tournament but that's all: no tournament, no serious battle. A lot of girls fighting to be pat by their master, looks like an harem -_-' Overall - 5 Are you ok with a casual plot? Are you ok with characters without any kind of "soul"? Well if you are give a shot. If you are looking for some real action with cool characters click back or close your browser and run away from here. Keywords: NO LASERS AND UBER CANNONS!

This is not at all what I was expecting after watching the ONA. It is more in the vein of shows like Hidamari Sketch, Working!, and Acchi Kocchi. (Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan also comes to mind). It is an enjoyable slice of life with comedy elements. I found the climax (for which, suddenly, everything ends in fiery explosions despite the utter lack of precedent within the show) to be the most predictable and least enjoyable part. I'm glad it is not what I expected. After the ONA I thought, "If they made a full length series for this itcould be brilliant. More likely it would be terrible. It depends on whether they go the way they should go with it, or the way I know they will go with it." Instead the series is something else entirely. I watched this whole show, which is great praise for it given my recent experiences with anime. Even if it wasn't nearly what it could have been, it is still a rare gem: a palatable title instead of yet another putrid turd for the ever-growing pile of trash.
