The gun terminology to bodily things got me wondering if this person had a gun fetish.

that certainly took sheer ridiculousness perverseness to another level, but that's something the japanese are great at, and i love them for it! actually reminded me of a much more graphic version of the whole female as weapon metaphor: sparkle! greater east-asian co-prosperity sphere by shintaro kago, a manga which takes the whole idea to a much greater and more disgusting place...can't believe this got past the censors, but i guess you can get away with most anything if you cloak it in metaphor...good clean fun!!!

Okay, how much did the NRA sponsored this anime?

I bet this anime has a "konoban koni wa NRA no tekyode okunikimasu" message at the beginning.

Anyways good show, but when is my AK-47 gonna appear?

I don't even know what I just watched. It wasn't terrible but trying to swallow the idea that the girls are actually guns, going to take me a few episodes at least. Didn't seem terribly funny either aside from certain FNC moments. Hoping that I'll enjoy it more in the next few episodes.

Man I'd give it a one if I put it on my list and watched it in full. I watched the first 15 mins and it's just bleh.

First off this is one of the most mediocre line ups for anime in years. (The only passable show being Medaka Box and Kuroke no Baske)

And I'm not saying no lolicon school girl, moe anime is bad but it's flooding preimeres.

But yes. Upotte. Its a load of crap. I didn't laugh once the entire time I watched it so how is it a comedy. Different types of comedy appease different types of people but come on. This is just secularly bad

Where's the so called action? Why are the girl's guns? Oh wait it's just another stupid pun designed to sell little girls to us? Oh thanks. I didn't know you were trying to do just that with lines like "Oh, I think my hammer is about to go off" as FNC hold her skirt down. As we all know a girl's hammer is a special place you can't just go cocking the thing back all willy nilly.

And this is the kind of thing I've come to expect from Xebec with stuff like MM! and Softenni.

I'm sure there are loads of fans for any like those but its a waste of production costs if not the whole original manga itself. Let's have our nice comedy anime overdone lolicons. I for one am ready for either some hardcore action anime for the Summer. And indept story anime in the winter. Comedy is nice but Comedy with sex, and little girls thrown into your face is no where near the idea of entertaining.

@mmccaskill
Im not gonna say anything against your preference for animes, since each one can choose what they like and what they dont. You could have kind of guessed what was coming by the portrait picture, at least i was expecting something like what it is. Also, when you say "sex", i dont even know where you saw the "sex" here. But whatever, at least you have seen its not your thing and your not watching it again, right? Thanks for the input neverthless.

On the episode. 4/5 for me. Does anyone knows if there will be more rifles/guns references or jokes? cus i barely understand anything about them, so may aswell learn more about them before whatching.

Decent start I guess. Got some chuckles out of it. The concept doesn't make much sense. The girls are guns, and they also shoot guns. So a gun shooting a gun...? Ahh screw it. At least it's nice to look at.

Since I can't say I understood all the terms and references, I'll ask.

Was the skeleton stock / thong thing suppose to be like a Japanese pun or because it was hollow/thin stock or something? So Shigu-chan also has one...? Unless I'm misunderstanding. Other one I didn't understand was L85A1... hidden boobs? What?


Well, the panties represent the stock. Skeleton stocks are obviously thinner and lighter just like a thong compared to normal panties. SIG is wearing a thong as well, yes.
L has big boobs because the L85A1 is a very heavy assault rifle. Also it's an very unreliable weapon so L gets sick a lot.

Hmmm, I see

Thanks for your information =)


About the first episode, I really enjoyed. Especially with Funko's expression "My hammer's going to fire...", LOL

Steel is my body and Fire is my blood,
I have created over a thousand blades,
Unknown to Death,

Yet, those hands will never hold anything,
So as I pray, unlimited blade works"

As mentioned in the anime, the stock is the buttocks of the girl. Skeleton stock refers to a gun stock that isn't completely solid and only has a "skeleton" of the stock shape with the inside hollow.

Actually, the L85A1 has large "boobs" because, if you recall, boobs are meant to be the handguard on the rifle. The L85A1 has a really large handguard, that's all.

Yeah but there is chance AT-X might fiz that. TBH I think that's shit. Ladies VS Butlers was totally awesome cause it was uncensored in the first place. Yet all we can really look of nice is in the spoiler
now that at least is decent in the fan service. Acceptable at least.

Next time I'm having a vacation in japan I will buy an eyepatch first. And if anyone asks me why...obviously because I'm friggin german. ;)
Putting that aside...I liked the first episode. Especially because it was in the "Dafuq did I just watch?"-Category and I could really feel how the homeroom-teacher must have felt. Loved the part with the girl going to the nurse because she was jammed^^ and can't wait to see what kinda guns the older sisters are.

This let me totally confused. The most of humorous situations didn't seem too funny to me, but visually I had a pretty nice time. I like how the girls have pretty nice curvy bodies, not too much and not too little, just perfect.
There are many good series this season so I may cut it in the end but also may leave it just to gaze at the girls. These proportions *.*

Ok I like ecchi and comedy and randomnes ect.
BUT
there is a precise amount of it after which it gets just "wtf srsly why ?"
But still it is a "fresh idea" for girls to be guns (facepalm) and it does not seem that bad.
As long as there are cute girls (eeh guns?) and kira stuff I can deal with it.
I like anime.

This is some weird unique shit. The girls are actually guns... what? Their body parts are actually gun parts that need to be maintained. =/

I like the fact that they have all the countries of origin per gun. They must be real guns nuts because the attention to detail is pretty good.

I don't know. I'll watch some more before giving my verdict. xD

So Upotte gives me similar vibes to Strike Witches.

Not much plot but what I did like was how detailed they went in to the guns. Impressed with the stance analysis during the shooting gallery scene. I didn't even know what a skeleton stock was until I saw this show so of course I love the little facts about the fire rate and bullet sizes.

Also love the euphemisms disguised as gun terminology and the detail on the GUNS were great (so were the girls too).

Now I'm wondering, where are my bolt-action sniper rifles? Next week.

The idea of the girls actually being guns sounds a bit weird, but once you get around to figuring out how the qualities of each gun are represented in the girls, it's actually pretty interesting.

I'll be visiting this forum a lot in the future, since a lot of those references were lost on me lol.
