Chizuko being whisked away by Baryu carrying Mashirou, he's quite the carefree Fossa Magna president who cares for his subordinates.

The journey thus far for Chizuko has been quite the ride, and Chrome...is just playing around with Berry Blossom trying to get her measurements, and flirting with her all at the same time? And when the phone calls of Baryu answering it, nothing says urgent all the more...than an autographed signboard and asking the useless Kuma Kaijins for directions that only Chrome's imaging can help bring him and Berry together. And all that Baryu's aiming for...is the hot spring town of Kusatsu.

With Baryu around, everyone converges together for a time of relaxation, even with his daughter Kokoa, Chizuko's grandfather and Masamune in tow. Alas, both girls staying together only fuels Chizuko's close touch from Berry, as much as Omizo Technica has its own company-like appreciation event for everyone, topped with food and even a pillow fight. And things in Naniga City, is business as usual between good and evil.

This was not the ending I as expecting, but it doesn't have to be surprising anyways, because this show is quite the unpredictable surprise that while doesn't offer much in the way of plot, it's subjective comedy all the way through. It's an alright showing when all is said and done.

Nice to see that Mashiro and Chizuko are OK. This was a bit of a Meh ending,was hoping we learned why Baryu essentially kidnapped Mashiro and Chizuko.

Did not realize it was the finale alr,thought we had 2-3 eps left.I imagined theres still quite a bit more in the manga,lots of things still not addressed such as the BEAHs or what Baryu meant by having Mashirou still works for him.

Keyword for this show was "fun".Some genuinely funny moments but mostly just amusing,likeable cast and honestly pretty good production all around.Some scenes were well animated,Voil did a solid job as their first.Its a

I'm not very happy about that ending. It was this big setup and nothing happened and it feels like nothing was resolved. Baryu said he would explain later but he didn't...

Can’t believe Acro Trip really over 😔 seeing some people say this was disappointing and they didn’t resolve or answer everything, but like clearly the manga is ongoing and this is designed to get you to go read the manga so I’m ok with this! Plus a Banquet/Onsen trip with everyone just for Chroma and Berry Blossom to fight at the end of the episode is like the perfect summation of this story. It’s wacky, fun and a wholesome bit of evil.

It really warmed my heart seeing Chizuki thank her mom for allowing her to live with her grandfather and move to a new city. She was lonely at first and struggled to fit in, but now she’s really got a new home and is surrounded by people who love and care for her, even her enemies lol.

Baryu being Kokoa’s dad was a surprise and I still wonder what he meant by his statement that Mashirou still works for him.. but that’s all set up for us to read and find out. Everyone being thankful for each other as friends and enemies during the day was sweet. And Chizuko got her hair washed by her oshi!!

I’m really gonna miss this one so much

Not the ending I was expecting but overall I still loved this anime, I've been waiting for it since it was announced in 2022 and it was so worth it, it was so much fun to watch and I looked forward to the new episodes every week, even if it was kinda nonsense, it was fun nonsense and a great way to end off the 2024 anime season. Not to mention I absolutely love Chroma, he was the biggest reason I kept watching, he's the best dumb villain husbando haha

I'm very much in the camp of "make anime fun again" because it feels like we haven't had much of that in the past few years, it's been so long since I've watched an anime that genuinely made me laugh, doesn't help that most "comedy" anime rely on ecchi/fanservice which isn't my thing, so this was honestly refreshing to watch and gave me some chuckles, not to mention I love magical girl anime and it was nice to see a new shoujo magical girl IP that isn't another remake of Sailor Moon/Cardcaptor Sakura/Tokyo Mew Mew

Sometimes you just need a low-stakes goofy anime to just have fun with and this certainly fits the bill, 8/10 for me

Waking up to being tied up and measureds got to be the weirdest thing possible. To think that after all that it was just to accomp the prez on his sightseeing tour. Kokoa being the prez's daughter was quite the surprise. Still the inn that they stayed at sure was nice. And it was cute seeing the cast unwind and relax as well. All in all a fun ep to end the series with.

Started off this season with about 16 shows, ended up dropping all but 5. The reason Acro Trip is one, simply it does what it does really well.Sure it is no more substantial than a piece of fluff, but every episode made me smile and chuckle multiple times. The writing is actually good. The characters were all lovable. Chrome really is a great character, he's the best. And it didn't outstay it's welcome - I can't see a season 2, if there was the joke would probably wear thin.
Easy 7/10.

The ending feels too generic, but maybe that's exactly what we need right now, given the disaster of endings of many much more popular and supported stories. Moreover, this show adapts the entire manga at once, which can be a separate bonus. The only thing that really confuses or surprises me is that the only actual romance in the story was actually between Chrom and Berry, lmao. An interesting twist for a title that many saw as a more wholesome version of Gushing over Magical Girls.

Yknow, the ending being the usual silliness from episodes beforehand and not feeling like an actual actual ending is rather fitting for acro trip as most eps were like that anyway. Just randomness that makes you smile a lil bit, yeah i wouldve preferred another ending but this one just fits it more.
Good anime from this season, need more fun magical girl parodyish animes like this

Also wasn't expecting this kind of ending. All the main characters are gathered together in a bathhouse. Just having a good time and everything goes back to normal the next day.

Acro Trip has been funny, lighthearted, and full of fluff. It does a good job of executing the silliness of the humor because everything feels natural. They're not trying too hard with the jokes and the events just flow naturally while the characters remain funny.

This anime has been good at delivering what it intended to do, and I prefer Acro Trip over Nokotan anyday for the humor. 8/10 is a good enough score for me to give to this anime, but I want to see kaiju-sized Berry Blossom more often.

Baryu just wanted everyone to be at that place so he could thank them all for his daughter and other things.

At least everything is back to normal at the end.

When Japan cares enough. Until then there's the line of other anime which haven't gotten a sequel yet.

it felt like the anime was trying to build towards something, then it stopped before anything happened.

As for someone who usually watch at least 3 episodes in a row, this anime turned out to be very repetitive over the time. It was way too monotonous.

I was expecting better/bigger interaction between Date and Berry but I guess I was baited by Date obsession for Berry, which didn't really led to much.

Chroma is lol, but what made me went this far was Berry, she´s cute and she's also Furina's seiyuu.

I couldn't help but to think of Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete because in both the female protagonists have obsession over Magical Girl, but oh boy, Mahou Shoujo is at another level and that gold is not for everyone to apreciate ;D

Anyway... not a bad anime, but unfortunately boring or repetitive over the time. Had its ups with a few lol scenes though.
All in all, a very fine anime. Had potential for more but I guess they set the limit to mid and safe level.

6/10

If it ever had a 2nd season, that wouldn't excite me and there would be good chances that I would pass, unless if I noticed that the 2nd season worth the chance.

@AngelFlash I think the problem is that the episodes are so obviously multiple short gag manga chapters stitched together that it's good for a lighthearted laugh every week, but lacks any sort of depth that would keep people engaged. Basically, the anime equivalent of a newspaper comic.

Despite starting off stronger than the other two magical girl shows for the 2024 Fall season Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc and The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Be Magicians, this show ended up being weaker than both of them. The first 5 eps were very good at setting up the worldbuilding and showing tight character dynamics as it focused on Chizuko/Chrome/Berry Blossom. Then the show expanded its cast, and couldn't figure out what to do except make everyone befriend each other.

Was this unfairly compared to Gushing Over Magical Girls because both shows have a main girl who ends up being on the villain side? Perhaps. But Gushing Over Magical Girls stuck to its guns and kept the good/evil dynamic, so that there's tension and actually something to fight for. We get it, Chrome is completely incompetent at being a villain. But the show did nothing for his development and he is still the same person that he was in episode 1. The first 5 eps set up the potential for a good arc to fill up the final 7 eps and that didn't happen.

4/10 is the cutoff point where I would be willing to watch a season 2, as I score 5/10 as average. Though Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc ended poorly and I gave it 4/10, I still think it has some potential and will watch S2. I wouldn't watch another season of this.

From being kidnapped to going on a field trip...

With everyone, somehow...

What is the reason for this? You would think the evil CEO was going to take Mashiro back to the base and turn him back into a human? But the CEO already made plans for this field trip... with other people beforehand. Whereas Chrome, Date and Berry wasn't really invited to began with? but it ended up as if the CEO planned?

Not to mention apparently the CEO re-registered Mashiro as part of his company's employee... while telling Mashiro to continue with the mahou shoujo stuff with Berry...

Is the evil CEO trying to obtain mahou shoujo's power as well (like he did with limited magic by researching Chrome).

Also... why did Chrome destroy Berry's signed card? imagine what Date would react if she only knew... RIP.

.

And the "mom" is apparently coming... if there's a season 2 that is.

Imagine if the "mom" turns out to be a mahou shoujo, or one of the leader, lol.

(but they never really talked abut mahou shoujo in this series, where they came from, and how they got their powers. Especially since the only known "mascot" for Berry... is in fact... an employee of the evil organization...) (so Berry might be the only mahou shoujo in their entire world, as there might not be an actual legit "mahou shoujo mascot" to began with, as they might all just be from the evil organization...) (AKA, both the evil and good sides might actually all be one and the same organization all planned by the CEO...)
