Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
azzuRe said: Upotte was about professional solders (guns that look like girls, but whatever, they are training for military work). Stella Jogakuin is about high school girls with the hobby of playing airsoft games as an after school club activity. They don't have to get the details right.The mock battle scene was quite good with nice display of cover-fire teamwork, but still not as comprehensive as Upotte!!. I hope they would display more of CQB action in the next episodes. |
 |
| Actually much better than I thought, considering I never completed any anime in the category of "girls with guns or tanks". I actually liked the characters and loved the little touches of humour. Another passes the first episode test. |
 |
| Could have sworn that OP was livetune adding Yun*chi. |
| That was em... interesting I guess lol. I am liking Rento and Yura so far. |
 |
| Haha that was.. interesting. It reminded me of Girls und Panzer, which was actually the only short series I've ever dropped (although I will finish it just because I don't want it to be dropped). That's something I really like, airsoft and all, but the characters don't really impress me. I am kind of impressed with the detail of the guns, though. The soundtrack made me laugh, it was so strange. Well, I'm not really expecting too much from this series, although I like the guns part. Dang, the school must have a high budget for that club, I know from experience that those guns are expensive, especially the M60. And then they have their own part of the school set out for themselves to use as well. |
 |
| i was surprised by how much i like this show... i can relate to the main character, who is shy and has a hard time being assertive enough to make friends easily, and at the same time, i like the idea of the other characters falling outside the box of typical girly behavior and being passionate about playing airsoft. it almost makes me want to try playing, haha. |

vellieu said: I can't help but feel they went wrong when they decided to include jazz as bg music for a fight scene, lol. Got better near the end. Hope to see Sonora next episode. i thought the jazz went along nicely with it tbh, and the only other series where i thought the jazz worked was bebop and sakimichi no appolon. |
 |
| This was great. Don't let me down, Gainax! Personally, I loved the jazz during the battle. |
| Cute girls playing with guns what more can you ask? |

| Well, I think it was really bad idea to jump on this bandwaggon without knowing more about it. I am really not into military so whole premise of this show is out of my interests (Girls und Panzer lost me four eps into it). But I have to admit that those characters are pretty cool and that gunfight in the end was fun to watch. One more ep I guess. |
| I remembered. The time dating Yura-chan with the club was a reference to the K-on. |
| That's an amazing entrance to an even more amazing school. The OP is nice and I guess the ED's fine. Yura Yamato is the type of person who can't easily talk to people. And she's an oddball. Sonora Kashima, Yura's roommate, has a gun under her pillow! She's a bigger oddball. C3, Sonora's club, consists of Rento, Karila, Honoka, and Yachiyo. All of them can't call Yura properly. But they do host an awesome mock battle, which I enjoyed. And they have cake, too! A club of cute girls with badass guns? I'm in. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Huh, interesting anime! Looks like Yura's not the type that makes friends easily ... but well, the C3 club seems like a good fit for her! Especially since she was getting so into those war movies ... haha XD Really loved the OP and the ED is OK I guess ;P Some of the voices sounded a bit familiar, but I couldn't place them. Then again, don't really know the names either. I got Karila as the "Rambo", but didn't manage to catch any other names unfortunately. Then again I loved the action at the end! Great tactics on Karila's part (planting the machine and then using her "knife") and some awesome teamwork between the green-haired pigtails and long-haired girl (shouldn't she be tying it up?! :P). Also at the end how Yura saw it as a scene from the movie ... pretty nice :3 So looks like their captain (and Yura's roommate) will make an appearance next episode. In any case, glad I started this, late as it is! :P |

In any case, glad I started this, late as it is! :P Yachiyo, the sniper, is voiced by Ui Hirasawa's (K-On!) voice actress, if you've seen that. And yes, Honoka and Rento's part remains my single favourite battle in the entire series (not that the others are bad); it's that music that makes it so awesome! |
| This was a rather pleasant surprise. Can't say I'm a fan of the "bleached" visuals, though. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Very interesting start, the characters are all cute and easily likable. I like how they went around the room focusing on each of them with the guns in the beginning. Yura's a closet rambo it seems, that had me cracking up a good deal. The blonde girl is especially crazy and hilarious, used the candy bar knife first chance she got! It was a surprisingly engaging mock battle, poor Yura at the end :p. |

| 4/5 Start today with my first summer series, I wanted to start right with this anime because it is the first time I've seen one with this issue, you say it? Yes, it is enough for me to come by! XD I thought better of the factor of the seabed, too pink and pastel colors, they are not as ugly as I am drawn, but I do not go too genius, are tastes that make us sometimes! X°°D The work of Gainax does not look bad and the designs seem to be made well, nice the protagonists, even during scenes deformed! LOL During the opening, I could think of GUP, I hope I do not disappoint too. For now I'm magnanimous in voting! |
 |
| Airsoft battles he? Well that's rather interesting! |
 |
| Thought this episode was very good: the music, the comical balance between the girl academy setting and the normally more male oriented club. Action scene was impressive, as expected from Gainax. |

rederoin said: Khalan3 said: let me guess this is going to be the top seller this season anyway I always like cute girls Monogatari is currently ranked 1# on amazon with more than 5.000 stalker points. C3-bu is currently at ranked 900#~ on amazon with 35 stalker points. You can't judge sales based on the first week of summer. But the difference is rather big at at the moment. thanks God, Monogatari is a classic and tihis is well.. odd. paraphrasing a film of the Coen brothers, i will say, Oh Gainax, Where Art Thou? |
 |
| That was better thatn I expected. Some really funny moments. That part where she was pretending to be Rambo in the bedroom was very funny. "I've found a real freak!" So C3 stands for Command, Control, and Communication. That's nice to know. Good episode. I like this. I like Kirishima. She's cool. |
| Yura playing Rambo by herself in her room was the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. They'll never be able to top that going forward I bet. |

| Pretty cute and fun start. This is already better than Upotte. The soundtrack during the battle was neat. |

| What's better than cute girls doing cute things? Cute girls doing cute things to the sound of smooooooooooooth jazz... |

| Anime girls playing airsoft is something that I didn't expect to see honestly. Now If only that would happen in real life then life would be much better lol. Absolutely suprised to see this, I played airsoft somewhere at age 14 or 15 at some friends birthday parties. Later I joined a group where they teach all about airsoft and military stuff like CQB and how to be in formations in the woods. Also teaching about real military tactics and stuff too. The group of the members had to go outside every time and I didn't matter if it was snowing or raining, we still went outside. You just had to get the right gear for the wather that's all. Under some circumstances we stayed indoors for few times. The training happened every once a week and lasted about 1 and a half hours, the start was at 6pm. Later it was changed to 2 hours. I think stayed in the airsoft training for at least 3-5 years. |
| spare me the pity party and unnecessary doom and gloom man atleast that yellow bob cut was designed like a cute kid required for this setting |
