Military!

Military! is one of those short miniseries that you want to hit just for some laughs and some quick humor. The references to weapons, tactics and sexual innuendos at our main protagonists' expense make the series hilarious.

Story: For a pair of loli(like) characters to be sent to defend the child of a suppose Salesmen turned War Hero there's really nothing else to say about the Story. Simple and To the Point.

Art: For a miniseries the textures and art style flow with this anime. I really like the dramatic look of expressions and detail put into something that last no more then 3 minutes long. (says ... allot for the people that drag out some series with garbage tier Art

Sound: The sounding was never ear-rape and the matching of the art and character make the series itself hilariously fluent.

Characters: Oh the Characters of this miniseries are all unique in their own way. While appealing to the loli lover out there it also meets up with the military person or someone that's into a quick hilarious time with military stuff and situation

Enjoyment: I personally enjoyed this series. It's not as long as 08th MS Team(Military Gundam Anime with 12 Episodes) but it does get me chuckling at parts and laughing in others.

Overall: I'd recommend this to anyone that's into having quick laughs while at the same time having military like situations happen in your own neighborhood as well as in your own home. And let's not forget loli's with guns.

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.

Story:
Absent minded and weak. The benefit is that there are full-length series with far less value to their story than this one had, but that's a review for another day.

This story is really just an excuse to watch elementary school military personnel fire weapons at each other. In that regard, it works. In every other regard, such as proper linearity, theme, or character development, this is definitely not the show seeking to satisfy those needs. That said, choosing not to use those things for a story does not inherently disregard the need to review such content (or lack thereof).

The real issue comes in with the ... Ecchi, which again, just because that's the intended purpose doesn't mean it cannot be a problem. It's used as the joke far too much, rather than allowing absurdity and comedy evolve into something laughable. There are periods in which things are rather funny, and I will admit to chuckling at times, but the ecchi is mostly just crowding an otherwise potentially comedic military sketch.


Art:
We're at a time when simple works have the potential to look decent. This work is able to keep up with itself pretty well and I never felt distracted by poor animation or anything of the sort. This works out well enough for what it is, and that's, quite literally, all anyone is asking for.


Sound:
I enjoyed the use of grand military songs, but I would have preferred some more. It would have made things a little more exciting.

VA work is fine. No complaints.


Character:
What character? No, there's some character, but there are only tropes. There isn't enough time to write any character at all, so it's to be expected that everyone is just a place-holder to watch elementary school students fire weapons at each other. Nothing else matters in this narrative anyway.


Enjoyment:
Kind of boring, and a little offensive. Ecchi can be a joke, and it's been done before as fairly decent humor (a la Panty and Stocking), but ecchi for the sake of ecchi is a nuisance. It crowds the time-span that could be filled with different, funnier sequences.
