Synopsis

Rifle-shooting sports are competitive activities testing accuracy and precision using a rifle. In Japan, carrying firearms is prohibited, so most of the participants are members of the defense force. When the use of rifles using a light beam instead of real bullets as ammunition became common, rifle-shooting competitions became accessible to the younger population, giving way to school contests.

First-year high school student and marksmanship enthusiast Hikari Kokura has just transferred to Chidori High School. She tries to join the club of her choice, but finds out that the club no longer exists due to the low popularity of the sport. Distraught, she tries to restore the club and somehow manages to recruit three other members: her childhood friend Izumi Shibusawa, the half-Russian Erika Meinohama, and the stoic Yukio Igarashi.

This marks the beginning of the Chidori Rifle-Shooting Club, who have only one goal—to compete on the national stage!

Mixed Feelings
Rifle Is Beautiful is a series that presents itself as a sort of CGDCT/Sports anime that doesn't quite hit its mark.

Of course with the limited premise of girls in a rifle shooting club being presented in a restrained, believable world, this can be expected.

Story: 6/10

The story begins with a scene of the big bowed, bubble headed Hikari running around the school attempting to find the Rifle Shooting Club that she's wanted to join since her childhood. With the help of her friend and fellow riflewoman Izumi, she discovers that the club has since disbanded and in true CGDCT fashion, needs to find two more students ...

Cute girls doing cute things is a love it or hate it genre filled with love it or hate it shows. A genre that has very little meaningful development or change but who cares? The appeal is clear.

Let me be clear I do not harbor any ill will to the genre. I actually appreciate the shows that fall under this broad and interesting genre.

Whatever good will I have for such a genre was quickly ignored when I saw the first episode of this anime. No lie I almost fell asleep. The pace is so slow and unbearable which is a ...
