I loved the series. I hope theirs gonna be another season of it. The ending wasn't good but its the type of ending that would set up another season so im okay with it as long as I get another season of Upotte.

Meh, 4/10. No plot, inconclusive ending, one-dimensional characters, and humour was mostly hit or miss.

Would have gotten a 3 if it weren't for the occasional inside jokes for gun fanatics that were legitimately funny.

3/10 for the series. Gun talk, and some ecchi. Overrated. I don't really know why I stuck with it this far. I understand why some Americans like it though.

It started off horrible, then got really interesting and fun and then by around ep 7 things just went downhill like crazy, and then the final episode things were actually getting interesting and that STUPID teacher showed up to ruin it all.

4/10. It had SOOOO much potential but that waste of life that was brought in to the school flushed it all down the drain.

So AK47 just walks off after all that?! This battle dragged on for too long, I lost interest in this episode's plot because it was bullets everywhere. Bad pacing.

When the girls said they're guns, I thought they were actually human but imitated the traits of their firearm. I never actually believed they were telling the truth until this final ep. I just assumed it was keeping to the moe formula but they actually addressed how the teacher (and frankly every one else) managed to survive 10 bullets to the chest.

Cute finisher about assault rifles unable to become battle rifles but the ending was all too abrupt. I hardly knew the characters except FNC. Wished it was longer, 6/10.

Boy.... was that disappointing. I have to say this was the worst episode so far, and a bad way to end the series. =(

yeah i still have hopes for the manga i think this was just poor planning the fight wasnt even as good as the other episodes not even the ballon match its seems like they just wanted to end it rather than give a fanily. they should of just ended it with a fanseverice arch if they were going to do that.

For an ONA, it was nice but overall, I give it 6/10. No real plot, and the ending was horrible. The fight between the two school in ep 9 and 10 was just confusing. I did not understand the point behind the gun fight at all.

I did enjoy the steam coming off of Funco's chest after she poured the water.


I have to disagree with the no real plot part for, if an anime that originated from a comedy manga has a real plot, it fail as a comedy. It is like people are bashing K-on or Lucky Star for having no plot when it is a yonkoma. How does one find a plot in a yonkoma? And as for Upotte, just like a yonkoma, it is meant to be a comedy.

I liked it. As an amateur gun nut, I enjoyed the gun puns and whatnot.

Now... The ending... Guh. I expected more, and that about the teacher not dying was just ridiculous. I was expecting him to pick Funco up and shoot the AK himself OR he revealing that he was, in fact, a weapon. Not that.

Anyway, some guys mentioned a tank ecchi anime, could someone tell me the name of that? Sounded VERY interesting to me. Only thing that could be better would be a fighter jet ecchi. I'd pay A LOT of moneys to see that.

Gurh... that ending really hurt the show for me. Not that it means much. I personally give the show a 5/10. If it weren't for the (slight) gun porn (refering to the actual guns, not the girls), I wouldn't have watched it

The QUALITY really fluctuated in this episode too.

The episode was great from the start to the end. I can't believe it ended already. All interesting shows have 10-13 episodes, this is ridiculous. Well anyway, sensei staying alive aside, it was good. Hope to see some more of this.

Well.....it's over. It wasn't a bad series. Sure it had it's flaws, but how much can you really expect from a series like this.

I actually liked the battle and fighting in the last episode. The AK's motivation was not really explained good enough. I kinda get what it is, but I feel it could of been done better. Sudden ending to the fight, and clearly not resolved. I thought the teacher was actually screwed there, and the explanation for why he's alive was such a cop-out. Another example of why I generally don't like when an anime has to end while the manga is still ongoing. I hope for a season 2 at some point and can't wait for the OVA.

I'm torn between giving this a 7/10 or a 8/10. I loved all the gun stuff and the fan service....but they are technically middle school girls. Not a lot of plot, but more than I expecting. It was a pretty funny series, yet it was awkwardly counter-balanced at times with all the gun battles. I really don't know yet. I'll have to think it over.

Either way, goodbye for now Upotte!! It's been fun.

Overall 9/10 for me. Nice fanservice, nice gunformation, and the plot (though not overarcing) was nice, too. And at first I was confused why he wasn't dieing from the shots bun then I remembered... Guns don't kill people. PEOPLE kill people.

Actually, Egoplant is right with some Americans. I'm an American gun enthusiast, and I love this anime series. Largely due to the fact that it involves girls that are personified firearms. What more could a redneck want? Talking about lubing up your weapon..... :D

Anyhow, I hope that you aren't offended by Egoplant's comment, because a large percentage of Americans do own firearms and love firearms. So if you are offended by the facts, then ROFL!!!! :D

That's a good enough reason for me to keep the score 7/10. I would have lowered it to 5 or 6 if I hadn't seen or thought of this.

Unsatisfying ending, could have been better.
Season 2 with a decent conclusion will be appreciated.

It works for me.
I don't think I'm worried about the confusion of human and gun any more.
As a lesson I've learned many times since Katawa Shojo, it doesn't matter how someone looks or what they are, what matters is how they make you feel.

And everyone bashes the ending...why?
Is it so wrong to see the guns finally do what they do best?

And for all the times FNC has shot the teacher, you'd think she'd have known he wasn't going to die.
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.

The ending could've been better. But yeah, decent series overall, nice ecchi and fanservice in some episodes, action was really great, humor was so-so, but the series was very educational regarding guns. 6/10 for me.

Heh, Sako even came to help them in the end which was kinda unexpected, and sensei actually not getting killed by a bullet from a "gun" firing a gun was like...what?

Say ugh, will the TV series be the same as this ONA? i don't see this from some upcoming anime charts, so i'm confused O_O

I want more of this show just so I get some answers to the few questions remaining about the characters in relation to the guns they represent.

Also, why couldn't all of the episodes be like the last few? Big shoot outs, lots of bullets, weird extended magazines (did you SEE that one AK [I think] that shot up at FNC, that magazine was MASSIVE BANANA MAG). The teacher not dying seemed like a big cop-out. The bullets do collateral damage but do no damage to humans? Are they special bullets created by the characters themselves? Do they create the ammo/magazines used in their guns?

I don't want this post to be a massive question, so, I'll leave it at a 7 rating and see what comes in the future. Wouldn't mind more, but with more gun on gun action.

No, not THAT type of gun on gun. Well....maybe a little of that too. ;)

Elle was really determined. Even when she broke she kept fighting and she even saved Sig from the freezer. To think that Sako would actually help them this time around.

What the hell do these foxes want from them? Their leader wanted to see Fukko angry. Bit of a sudden ending if you ask me. We never found out who they were. Overall it was an OK series. I liked the fact that they explained so much about guns and of course, the characters were cute. 7/10.

I didn't expect this anime to be the way it was all. I kinda expected it to be young girls that were assassins. I mean how awesome would that be? I still loved it though! The battle scenes were amazing. I wish they showed more of L85A1<3. Wish they could have made her stronger :P. It'd be cool if they had a second season of them in that high school place where their sisters are!

I still thinks sensei is a useless character and doesn't add much to the story. They should just get rid of him. When he got shot, I was like great, hope he dies, or leaves i dont know.

At first when I read the description i thought it was going to be about a teacher transferring into an out of the ordinary school. So that had me hesitant about watching the show.
BUt I'm glad I did, it was more about FNC and the other girls/guns. Their story is much more interesting.
However this ending was no ending. I watched this episode not knowing it was the last episode, and it sure as hell didn't seem like it at all.

I hope there is a sequel to this, and not just that OVA. But an actual season.
I really enjoyed the show, anything after the 1st episode.

I give it an 8/10. All for the nice animation, cast, uniqueness, story, and enjoyment.
-1 (too much focus on sensei, don't like him at all)
-1 too short, unsatisfying ending

well I hope i remember about the OVA, since its way late in the year, till october.

Hey...that is, oddly, kind of stupid and kind of clever at the same time. Guns don't kill people, so the girls (guns) themselves can't kill humans, but if someone picks them up and shoots, then they can kill.

I've lived in America all my life and never found any of us to be gun enthusiasts. I like this show, but not because I like guns. Some Americans, sure, but I agree with Tenchi_Ryu in that it's not really right to just assume Americans are gun enthusiasts and will therefore enjoy this.

Quite an enjoyable series, though the ending was terrible. Also, I did not really like the battle that much, I enjoyed the silly gun joke episodes more. If this battle didn't have some of those moments I would have given this a 6, now I think I'll stick with the 7 ^^

And then suddenly Upotte!! was deep. I didn't think of that, was too busy facepalming, but now I can raise my score for the ep a 4 instead of a 3 out of 5. It had some weak parts, but Rapelf returning was nice and the firefights were okay. I'm usually not one to say this but....second season where? I seriously enjoyed this more than I should have 7/10.
