Cute show. It takes the approach of heroine characters in a town to demonstrate their talents.

I think the cast so far is colorful and they took a pretty simple way of introducing the characters. Expecting most of the main cast to get some spotlight with future episodes. Visual wise, it was okay I guess, nothing special but not bad either.

Well it was a nice episode but a bit different from what i expected, not that that's a bad thing.
I didn't expect the girls to be doing the heroin show not to mention for her little sister which was really nice of her, she endured a lot of injury tho.
Anyway i wonder what the next episode will bring.

It was alright, I guess, but frankly the show's title is confusing me. I understand the "Action Heroine" part, but where'd "Cheer Fruits" come from? I was expecting them to be farming fruit or something. Well, I guess we'll find out.

All in all, this type of anime isn't my taste, but like everything I watch I'll give it the 3-episode test.

I've been pleasantly surprised by this anime's first episode, I thought judging from its poster that it was just going to be a boring story about cute girls a la Hinako Note. Instead, we've got an energetic and fun first episode that hints at a larger series exploring the workings of stage shows and an exploration of fandom culture, all while also being a cute show about cute girls doing fun things! I can't state enough times how shocked I am to be enjoying this show this much already, I'm so excited for episode 2.

I actually enjoyed this.

I thought it was quite funny a time and I like those 2, they work well together.

I do feel a bit sorry for Mikan, she took a beating throughout this episode.

I wasn't sure what to think of it from the name, and the description, but it's got a nice cute feel to it.

One of those shows I just straight out expected to be trash, but ended up being a somewhat positive suprise, its still not a very entertaining show, but its definetly very watchable for now. Still, going to play it safe for now with my rating but... pleasant surprise

My guess is that they through the performance will promote/advertise fruits and/or juice, just like Kamidaio did with the Kamiari Ginger on her performance. Considering they're local heroines, I think chances are they will promote local ones, as one of the objectives seems to be the revitalization of Hinano. And if they make it like Kamidaio, where the product is supposed to give them power, then the heroines names may be related to fruits.

this show feels like it was made specifically for me. like no joke, it's tailored to my personal likes and such. cute girls, tokusatsu, small town revival, etc.

pretty bland for now, but i have hopes for this.
And yes, I meant that.

For me, and for the moment, Action Heroine Cheer Fruits is tied with Isekai Shokudou as best first episode of the season.

well colour me surprised thought this gonna be another battle shoujo like show ,instead it's going full on Live action Sentai bet if i was actually a fan of those kind of shows i would've enjoyed this even more

for now it's earned it's place with a decent first episode cute girls doing some earnest work, curious to see how much depth they will go into with being a locals with advertising and what not!.

My friend thought this was going to be generic and lousy anime, but after the first episode we both enjoyed it. The characters were cute and likable and it was by far entertaining to watch. I can't believe that this is already rated a 6.1. It may be too early to judge, but from what I watched I would give it a 7 or higher after the first episode alone.

Peaceful !! I liked it because it's like nothing like beasts or aliens or creatures from another world or something and the story is really peaceful , I loved Akagi she's so cheerful and full of energy i like those kinds of characters , And they're actually going to become the Heroines of their city , I want to see their outfits so bad <3 <3 <3 ... Anyways , A cool anime and a peaceful one no fights whatsoever and I'm ready for more ( especially the cuteness <3 ) , Looking Forward !!!!

Nice to see everyone enjoying the show, sadly I felt the show is leaned towards a more lower age level so I'm gonna pass on this one. The main girl looks a lot like Kotori though :o

I tried watching this because of how cute the character designs are especially the Kotori lookalike. This seems like Locodol, but instead of local idols, we get local heroines instead. Cheer fruits could mean each girl represents a fruit where they're endorsing a product with different fruit flavors.

Seems interesting enough for me to watch another episode.

There is just something about an anime where each of the characters has different colour hair that just doesn't sit well with me. It's like someone dropped a bag of skittles on the screen.
