Frame Arms Girl

Fircoal★ 8

Frame Arms Girl is an advertisement. It exists for one reason and one reason only, to sell those toys. But in that, there is magic that can happen. For the process of selling toys is not a simple one. Toy line anime can't work like normal commercials. They can't just shove in the product in the viewer's face and yell at the top of their lungs, "BUY OUR TOYS!" They have to make them special and appealing. They have to draw the viewer into the world of the toy and get them to want them. And it is this mindset that makes Frame Arms Girlwork. In the case of Frame Arms Girl, it isn't a show that wows the viewer with any part of itself. While the animation can look spectacular at times, it's only in comparison to the 3D models that really it shines. What Frame Arms Girl does really well is making itself as fun as it can. It splits its episodes into two parts and each part has it's own little skit that it does. This can range from a whole variety of topics and each of them is given a flavour that goes with the theme of the frame arms girls. The unconventionalness of the toys allows them to tackle the settings of the parts in a unique way, creating an experience that sets it apart from other shows. While the parts do have borrowed some tropes from Western animation it does so in a way that enhances the show and enables it to be kept fresh. Furthermore, in these skits it allows itself to go in a natural yet unpredictable way, favoring the story in a nice way. And even more than that the show also likes to pull out an occasional surprise episode that shows the full creativity of the team that writes the show. The characters are not groundbreaking but they are fun. They don't have much depth but they aren't restricted just to a gimmick. While they all have their first and foremost personality traits, they have other traits that they exhibit and do feel like organic characters, even if they are toys. This ability allows them to feel fresher and more original even if they don't stray too far from conventional archetypes. The best of the lot is Ao, the main girl, who is a very relatable. Not only does she stray from any archetype but she acts in rational ways that are easily understood. Her intentions aren't always pure, nor does she care only about the toys with a heart bigger than a thousand suns like we'd expect from the main character. Rather her love for the toys is built slowly with time, in a realistic manner. The sound quality is pretty good overall, it's nothing special but can certainly add to the battles and SOL. Oh did I mention, there are some cool battles!? While I'm not the biggest fan of action or mech battles, the mix between mech battles and fluffy daily life episodes makes for an interesting and fun combination that is rare to find. Frame Arms Girl first and foremost is a toy commerial. But it's a pretty good one that just wants to have some fun. And for that I think it's a really good watch.
