Synopsis

Living an abnormal existence in Ogikubo, an intergalactic melting pot of humans and aliens as well as the only Space Immigration Zone on Earth, Luluco is a bubbly middle school girl who just wants to be normal. One morning, however, her father, who works at the Space Patrol, eats a volatile sleep capsule by mistake and is frozen solid! To make matters worse, Luluco accidentally breaks him, so she hurries off to his office for help. There, the chief of the Space Patrol, Over Justice, hires Luluco as a space temp worker for undercover investigations, so that the institution may crack down on crime within her school.

Made to don the Space Patrol suit and sent on her way to mete out justice, Luluco attempts to maintain the image of a normal girl who does not stand out in any way. But she soon discovers that with the automatic systems and inherently zealous judiciousness of the Space Patrol suit, continuing to be normal will be more difficult than she thought.

Studio Trigger in its purest form. Bombastic scene after bombastic scene that brings immense pleasure to the eyes. A cast of funny characters and references to other Trigger shows, allowing for a true celebration of Studio Trigger, being to it what Sonic Mania is to Sonic. The story is full of interesting and logical twists that keeps one engaged, tying it together with a lesson that may be overlooked by some. Listening to the full version of the title sequence brings pure joy to my heart. My biggest complaint is that it simply wasn't long enough. If you don't like Studio Trigger's style it may ...

Mixed Feelings

If there’s a common thread that connects all of Trigger’s vastly different shows, it’s the theme of triumphant individualism. The spirit driving this studio is a spirit that values what the individual can accomplish with their own unique talents, both in terms of the characters within the story and the people making the shows themselves. Trigger heroes will rise above adversity and stake their claim upon the world, refusing to be tied down by any system and charting their own blazing path through the universe. Meanwhile, the animators and directors bringing their story to life are allowed to go as hog-wild with creative ideas and ... unhinged animation cuts as they wish, willing to take big changes and goofy steps in whatever direction suits them. Yu could never accuse them of cowardice or cheapening out, and at its best, the Trigger/Imaishi aesthetic is able to accomplish such uniquely powerful achievements in storytelling that you can’t help but respect the balls on every single person working there. Space Patrol Luluco isn’t Trigger at its best, but it doesn’t really need to be. It’s an anniversary project of 7-minute episodes celebrating the spirit that’s driven this studio to such acclaim since its recent founding, a rapid-fire barrage of iconic shots and homages and direct references that triumph the individualist bravado behind the likes of Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, Gurren Lagann, and so on. And on that level, it achieves exactly what it sets out to do.

The story all this homage is built around centers on the titular Luluco, a normal girl in an abnormal city where aliens and humans live side-by-side. She’s repulsed by the weirdness and abnormality in her life, obsessed with living the platonic ideal of an ordinary middle-schooler experience. Of course, this being Trigger, she’s in for a hands-on lesson on the importance of deciding your normal on no one’s terms but your own, and a chance accident gets her swept up as a member of the Space Patrol, the intergalactic police that keep the peace in this interstellar society. Throw in a bunch of Imaishi-branded weirdness complete with his typical sandpaper-jagged animation, a metric buttload of references both direct and subtle to works of Trigger past, and a plot that zips ahead at the speed of light to cover a entire two cours worth of content over less than two hours, and you have yourselves a hard-hitting, fast-moving joy ride of enjoyable little action and character bits that breeze by pleasantly enough and rarely cease to entertain. Weirdly enough, the overriding sensation I get from this show is Inferno Cop if it were played straight. Well, straight-er; the overall tone is still very irreverent. But it’s got that same sense of nonsensical, blisteringly fast fun, speeding through the cliffnotes version of a much longer anime plot and hitting all the big fun beats along the way for no other reason than this is the kind of shit they like over at Trigger Aech Cue.

As you might imagine, this swiftness inevitably leads to a certain shallowness in the actual story that’s just here to serve as a fanservice vehicle. You won’t find much in the way of emotional depth of nuance in the broad characters, nor much in the way of surprises in the way their arcs play out. But that’s not why you’re here in the first place; you’re here for colorful fun times with colorful fun characters that reference all your favorite colorful fun shows from this colorful fun studio. And Space Patrol Luluco delivers on exactly that about as well as it needs to in order to stay light and entertaining throughout its run. It’s lively and bouncy and off-the-walls in the way Imaishi’s work always is, light on its feet and packing every scene with enough exaggerated, contorted animation and dynamic framing to put lesser studios to shame. There’s no shortage of goofy, fun ideas to be found in its world, like the idea of a city being sold in an Amazon package or the way the Space Patrol members all turn into guns like they’re Transformers. I especially enjoyed the antics of Chief Over Justice, Inferno Cop’s emo brother, who arrests and releases people at the drop of a hat with the exact same zeal. And if you’re a Trigger affictionado, this show will give you plenty of Easter eggs and references to drool over. There’s an extended jaunt in what I can only describe as a literal Trigger Cinematic Universe that’ll especially be catnip for anyone who’s enjoyed their previous work (and if the hints I got there are any indication, I suspect I’m really gonna love LWA). In the end, Space Patrol Luluco is a light, airy breeze of a thing, not long or deep enough to reach the heights of Trigger’s previous triumphs. But it does its job as a love letter to what this studio’s best can be, and I can’t ask for much more than that.

A series of 5 minute webisodes (not including intro and outro). All flash and no substance. This anime is hyper-kinetic and loud and seemed more like adverts than anything else. There are a lot of bright colours but not much else, everything seems put there just to get your attention. It has no substance, I wanted it to make me laugh, but there was nothing there that even made me grin. If you like fast talking characters that make no sense then this is for you, if you're looking for feels or laughs you won't fine them here. The art is good, the colours ...
