Henkei Shoujo

This is what happens when you let Micheal Bay direct anime. Straight to the point, just robots and hot girls, just like the entire Transformers movie series.

Story (10/10) - The lack of a story makes this anime a true masterpiece.

Art (10/10) - The CGI reminds me of Transformers, which reminds me of Micheal Bay, which means it's good.

Sound (1/10) - The music was recycled and soulless. Totally unlike Transformers.

Character (10/10) - The characters have no personality, just like Transformers characters.

... Enjoyment (10/10) - Transformers.

Overall (10/10) - Some discredit this anime for having no story, just like how they discredit the masterpiece that is Transformers: No Plot Just Robots. This 5 episode anime series whose total runtime is less than 10 minutes truly is a masterpiece. We have shed the bounds of storytelling and plot for true entertainment.

I genuinely don't know what to make of this anime. Every episode except for the third ends with a girl making a "wtf??!" expression, and that's precisely how this anime made me feel.

If taken seriously, I cannot recommend this to anyone. But I will say: the 1st episode? I found it genuinely funny.

There's not really any plot to be spoiled, since the synopsis says it all. Each episode is a 1-minute short about some sort-of-mecha girl. Except instead of a giant mecha, it's a plane, car, sussy robot, battleship, and... an okinomiyaki-making robot??

The transformation sequences seem like they come out of nowhere, due to the ... sudden changes in theme, visuals (2D -> 3D), and music (classic -> anisong). I am inclined to believe this entire anime must be a shitpost.

Oh, and they make the fanservice really obvious. idk why they added it; it doesn't really add anything, and it feels unwarranted. But I genuinely can't tell if it's supposed to be appealing, or if it's just part of the shitpost.

Overall, I'm rating 2/10, but it did get a good laugh out of me.

This review is actually quite hard to write; quite strange for a five-episode show that total under ten minutes.
How do you judge something that doesn't aim high? When your anime is one big shitpost, how do you judge it?








...

Well, I lied.
It's actually quite simple, actually. It's one big shitpost, and it doesn't aim to be anything but that. And it's a good stinkin' time.

Story:
There is no story.

Art:
The artwork is quite good flat animation paired with passable CGI. They fit the aesthetic well, and the lacking parts of the CGI are actually used to the advantage of the comedy.

Sound:
The sound's passable. Not much to say. The use of the main theme would get old after a while if this wasn't so short.

Character:
The designs are cool, in a "what the hell, man" kind of way.

Enjoyment & overall score:
Yes, this anime gets a 10 for enjoyment. Everything in this anime is stupid, and intentionally. The concept is stupid, and the producers know it. The transformation sequences are laughably bad. The transformations are abrupt as hell. This gag would get old fast -- But this entire anime is less than ten minutes. So cut down and distilled, this is a fun collection of bad jokes. It's that friend who cracks stupid puns constantly. The joke's stupid but you laugh at it, with him and at him simultaneously.
But in the end, it's just a stupid joke. It's fun as hell, and you have to admire how well it's done, but...
It aims to be a stupid little joke. And that's all it is. Is it a fun hell of a time? You bet. But is it anything higher than the low bar it aims at? Not really.

Decent is the right word here.
