Synopsis

Hotaru Tachibana has a strong sense of justice and just cannot help confronting those who choose to perform malicious acts. Furthermore, Hotaru is actually a girl who likes to disguise herself as a boy. After hearing rumors that her best friend was tricked by the popular host of a local club, Hotaru seeks to punish the evildoer. Upon arriving at the club, however, she is challenged to a so-called "survival game" by the host Masamune Matsuoka, where the first person hit by the bullet of a toy gun will lose.

After a destructive fight which results in Hotaru's loss, Masamune forces the young "boy" to join his survival game team named Toy Gun Gun, in order to repay the cost of the damages that "he" has caused inside the club. Although she is initially unhappy with this turn of events, Hotaru quickly begins to enjoy what survival games have to offer and is determined to pay off her debt, much to the dismay of Tooru Yukimura, the other member of Toy Gun Gun. As time goes on, Hotaru begins to develop a close friendship with the rest of the team and hopes to take part in realizing their dream of winning the Top Combat Game (TCG), a tournament to decide the best survival game team in Japan.

Although Hotaru tries her best, there are just two little problems: she is absolutely terrible at the game, and Toy Gun Gun doesn't allow female members on their team!

This is actually my all time favourite anime

Biggest reason is the characters.
The relationships between the characters are well thought out and meaningful, incredibly relatable in my opinion. Even the antagonists have their own meaningful backstories and justifications on their actions.

The comedy is also really well done, the whole anime managed to make me sad and happy at the same time.

As someone who likes airsoft, the anime does a good job at capturing the mood of an airsoft game, a lot of it is dramatized, but I don't mind because it adds action and excitement to the show.

Overall, I love this anime/manga, after watching the ...

Mixed Feelings
Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied.

I finished watching the series thinking, "Huh, that's the end of the show?" They could've done much more with the series. Such as, extending the series since there is still a lot more story content. There are plot holes that leave some topics left slightly touched, but not delved into. It's these things that irk me the most.

Although, this series talks a lot about airsoft, there was also a lot of emphasis on character relationships. I don't mind it since I do think that it adds on to why these characters act a certain way and why they're here. ...

[Overall enjoyment: 4] Listen. I really REALLY don't know how to go about this show. I initially watched the show weekly when it aired in 2015 but it gets harder and harder to keep up coz it just gets pretty boring and cliche to the point that I just thought 'why am I doing this again'. It's honestly a pain. I dropped it and finally picked it up 3 years later coz I just realized that 'wth there's only 3 episodes left so why not' so I tried to watch it again coz I wanna REMEMBER why I dropped it. And I guess I kinda ...
