This show is like child porn. A horn little school girl who is very close to cum when an adult touches her?! And, how come the government allow those little kids to use guns? That doesn't make sense. That's pretty stupid and doesn't make any sense at all. The graphics and entertainment are also very lame. Sorry, but I'm passing out this one.

I'd think it would go with a lot of embarrassed squeals and lines like "Ouch! Please, be more gentle, don't jam the magazine in like that!" and "You are the first to ever reload me... I've only... done it myself... before....... *heavy blushing*"

Alright....First of all.....

1)The girls are guns...what does that even mean?
I can see them use guns but how are they guns?
They are friggin girls? WTF?
Guns have emotions? He's talking to a gun? WHAT?

2)Is this a harem? If the girls are guns he can get more than one right? SO he should get all the girls in the school.

3)Can you make love to a gun? Can you have children with a gun? How does this work?

BTW the FNC actually has 2 variation, one has a folding stock and the other has a solid non-folding stock. The 3 burst shot of the M16A4 is a recent addtion to the said assult riflethat were manufactured in 2005, but it still maintains the semi one-shot burst and a full auto.


The M16A4 never shot fully automatic. The M16 family have be burst ever sense the development of the M16A2 after taking into count the lessons learned in the Vietnam War. However, there are arguments to bring back the fully auto and the new M4A1 is fully auto though that weapon was given to Special Forces.

I know I shouldn't be enjoying this so much, but it's just mindless fun. Girls and guns, it's very hard to go wrong with that. I know very little about guns, but the bit with 16 having to take a break every now and again was good, I remembered how much I hated M16s in video games because you couldn't go full automatic. 4/5.

Wow, that's the stupidest thing I've seen in ages.

Dear people who are saying "I wish I knew about guns so I could work out what's going on":

1. Go and learn. There's a whole internet out there and it will be happy to tell you about guns. It might even save your life one day.

2. Even if you know nothing, it's hardly difficult to guess.

Why is the main character a rifle no army uses (unless you count the AK-5, and that's a little different after all)?

So, guns personified as girls shooting guns? Hmm, interesting. They are incredibly cute? great! And the main girl in from my country (Belgium), with my country flag displayed during the opening? DO WANT!

LOL, THIS ANIME. FREAKING HILARIOUS, MAN.
Although the concept of the girls being guns is utterly ridiculous, I must admit that it's been a while since I've enjoyed an anime this much.

Being the firearms enthusiast that I am, I honestly couldn't turn down this series when I stumbled upon it.

When L85A1 "jammed" in the first episode, the show basically won me over. For those of you aren't at all familiar with firearms, the L85A1 is a British assault rifle infamous for its tendency to jam. A jam is essentially when a rifle stops firing, either because of a mechanical problem or because a round has been improperly loaded into the chamber. This problem was fixed in the improved L85A2 variant.

And the whole concept of battle rifles (FN FAL, HK G3A3, M14) being high schoolers, while assault rifles (FN FNC, M16A4, L85A1, SIG SG550) are middle schoolers is freaking ingenious. Automatic rifles are classified by the cartridge size that they fire. Assault rifles use intermediate cartridges (all of the main characters use the standard 5.56 x 45 mm NATO round), while battle rifles use full-size rifle cartridges (the 3 high schoolers all use the 7.62 x 51 mm NATO round), hence the difference.

A little nitpick though. FN FAL is actually an L1A1, the British variant of the Belgian-designed battle rifle.

@ YourMessageHere: Actually, that's not correct. The FN FNC is the standard issue rifle of the Belgian Army. It replaced the aging FN FAL. in the late 1980s.

I have a feeling I'm going to like this anime A LOT. Kinda disappointed that my favourite assault rifle, the HK G36, isn't in the anime, though. >_>

I'm so glad this series got a North American localization and dub. Overall I'm impressed with Sentai Filmworks job on this one, though I hate how long it took for them to release it. I do have problems with some of the translations, but I always find that with Sentai Filmworks. They chose to keep 'sensei,' but translate 'onee-san.' While I don't want a dub to say 'onee-chan' or 'onii-chan,' I have grown tired of the repeated use of big brother and big sister. English speakers don't speak like that so they should just choose a better phrase to fit the situation.

I dislike how Sentai decided to name the characters, but I've been seeing this problem in the scanlations as well. Funco is good, because I can't really think of a better way to make a word out of FNC. Sig and G3 are called by their real names so no problem there. Elle sounds close to L85 so I'm cool with that. FAL should just be called Fal, instead of Falu or whatever they called her. My biggest problem is with what they call M14 and M16. The dub calls them Ichyon and Ichiroku respectively, which is like calling them one four and one six in English. There is nothing special about how the Japanese pronounced their name so there is no reason to dub it, just call them 14 and 16 instead of a tongue-twister of a name, because foreign numbers are always difficult to pronounce.

The dub isn't extraordinary, but it is not bad. They could have done better with Funko's voice, but I know I'll get used to it in a few episodes. Brittney Karbowski as M16 is amazing, but I've always loved her since she did the voice of Mikoto Misaka. The voice that stood out the most for me would have to be the Principle. I love how they actually got Jovan Jackson, and black voice actor, to do the part. The voice fits and it is something you rarely see in anime.

Upotte!! is an anime that has captured the hearts of many anime enthusiasts, and the first episode is nothing short of impressive. As a language model, I don't have emotions, but I can definitely appreciate the fantastic storytelling and animation in this episode.

From the very start, Upotte!! immerses you in its unique world, where human-like girls are anthropomorphized guns that are capable of firing and transforming into different forms. The concept is fascinating and intriguing, and the show wastes no time in introducing its cast of characters, each with their own distinct personality and quirks.

The animation is stunning, with vibrant colors and smooth animation that brings the characters and their weapons to life. The action scenes are well choreographed and visually impressive, making them a joy to watch.

The humor in this episode is also on point, with clever jokes and witty banter that keep the mood light and entertaining. The characters' interactions with each other are a highlight, and their chemistry is palpable, adding an extra layer of depth to the show.

Overall, the first episode of Upotte!! is a fantastic start to what promises to be an exciting and engaging anime. Whether you're a fan of action, comedy, or just looking for something unique and different, Upotte!! is definitely worth checking out.
