Military!

Here is my review of this anime in 2022!

Story (10)
The story is very short but very funny where there is a man who's getting protected by a loli girl because his Father is a hero from that other country.

Art (9)
The art is very great! The use of color and chibi style really match the story and make it flow very nicely!

Sound (8)
All the sounds that they used are really good and adjusted to the animation.

Overall (10)
Recommended to those who love comedy and chibi art style with military theme :)

Military is a series of 3-minute shorts, containing chibis, heavy weaponry and tanks.

It consists of basically non-stop slapstick humour, over-the-top violence, sexual innuendos and military references. It's not really the kind of show that will make you laugh uncontrollably, but it does consistently manage to put a smile on your face when watching it.

Moreover since every episode is only about 3 minutes long, it's not like you will be losing out on much time for watching it so I reckon you might as well just give it a shot. It's a pretty reliable way to cheer up yourself if nothing else.

The series is presented in 12, 3.5 minute episodes which made it easy and quick to watch and fairly low commitment. The question then becomes what it will try and accomplish. Here, I believe that they tried for too much. In 42 minutes it tries to include something at least bordering on a harem, comedy, and fan service (more on this later), all while trying to retain some aspect of the military theme presented in the title. All in all, it is fairly successful in the comedy department, but the series still comes across as kind of disjointed, in reaching for so much the story ... behind it is occasionally lost (although this can be partially forgiven due to the format) only to finally be regained in the last episode in what seems like a final attempt to tie the antics, especially those later in the series, into the main plot.
The biggest downfall of the series however comes in its excessive use of fan service. I think it's only appropriate to quote the English subtitles from episode nine when I describe parts of the series as "boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs." Yes, many anime have the same sort of content, but a minute in a half hour episode is a lot less significant than a minute in a three minute episode. Now carry that time through nearly every episode. The sheer proportion of time they spend on showing breasts bouncing or panty shots, feels like they are dragging the viewer through the fan service and harming the story.
This is a good segue into the art of the series, nothing is really spectacular or noteworthy except for the character designs and, well, they're all over the place. The male characters are nothing spectacular. There are three chibi characters (all female) and then a few more female characters done in the same style as the males and then designed for maximum sex appeal. The lack of unified art style is distracting, especially at the beginning when only three characters were introduced. I guess the saving grace is that once they introduced the other characters they stopped trying to do panty shots of the chibi characters.
As for the actual development of the characters it was really two stories. On one hand the female characters and one of the male characters were well developed (especially for the length of the series's episodes). By the end of the seriesI had a pretty good idea of what each of the characters were like and I even ended up liking most of them. As for the other characters their lack of development would be forgivable except... One of the undeveloped characters was arguably the "protagonist." The guy who was at least partially responsible for the whole series to occur is a blank slate. Based on calling out the type of panties a girl is wearing when he sees them (among other things) I can only come up with pervert to describe him.

All in all, "Military!" is not terrible, but I wouldn't call it particularly good either. If you're looking for a quick, easy to watch comedy and don't mind sitting through lots of fan service go ahead and watch it. Despite its flaws it manages to be decently enjoyable and while definitely not a must watch there's no need to blacklist it
