| Otaku, magical girls, drama...geez, they stuffed a bunch of themes and genres together into a single anime. Not going to lie, I like the colorful character designs for this. Some of them looks unique and the show is confident in its premise. The Otaku Hero looks like a meme in a way with his trademark glasses. Still, I do like how the anime takes itself seriously. Anarchy also seems like a balance between a tough and sensitive character. Curious to see her development. |

| Remember Lerche's Fall 2021 show Gyakuten Sekai no Denchi Shoujo a.k.a Rumble Garanndoll? The same premise reused 1.5 years later, but with magical girls. Once again, another Otakudom vs. government calling, with the otaku culture dying at the hands of the government eradicating Akihabara and its people under the mysterious group SSC for "protection". But one person would come to re-revolutionize Akiba's otaku culture: Otaku Hero and the magical girl Anarchy, along with other magical girls Blue and Pink, being abducted by the Shobon group, and with efforts beleaguering their progress, with Otaku Hero calling it quits, Anarchy takes over. The battle commences between the SSC and the Otakudom, and just when Otaku Hero is about to lose hope, Anarchy gives him that hope to keep the otaku spirit alive and save Blue, hidden deep within the recesses of the SSC. Decent start, though this could be more enjoyable than Rumble Garanndoll. |

| This was an awesome first episode full of action Can't wait for the next episode |
Great first episode  |

| Spring 2023 has continued its run of amazing premieres, and here is yet another one. This one is just a completely off the rails first episode, with tons of action and edginess, and I loved it. The premise is honestly pretty dumb, but sometimes the dumb stuff can be good nonetheless. Gotta protect those body pillows, anime, manga, and light novels at all costs! I wish they were a bit more creative with the magical girl names though. This premiere is about as enjoyable as the first episode of Akiba Maid War, which also had a very crazy and awesome first episode. Hopefully this isn't a case of blowing all the budget or showing all your cards in the premiere. OP was great as well, that's what gave me the final push to actually watch this. It was worth it. |
the otaku flag is simple and cool lol |
| well that went a mile a minute... and I'm all for it. Incredible op as well!! |
 |
| Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting much coming into this but that was quite an entertaining and very action-packed start! This shit's goofy, edgy, badass and I love it. I'm liking Anarchy's personality too. Really looking forward to seeing how this is going to go! Anyways, Jun Inagawa (aka the original creator of this anime) has to be one of the coolest dudes ever. Bro illustrates, DJs, collabs with fashion brands, and now he's got an anime lol. Definitely one of my favorite artists rn! |
| Insanely awesome first episode. Voice acting was fantastic. Had a mid/late 80's vibe to it which I love. It won't grab the attention of Westerners. I loved it and I thought the opening was one of, if not the best of the season so far. |

| You can see the staff is having a lot of fun on this one. This reminds me a lot of Rumble Garandoll which I also liked, just with different spice. |
| The first minutes made me thought would have some, Japanese natality thingy, or gentrification, luckily didn't. And was Japanese government infected by OwO virus. Good to know that Pipimi got a new job, as Blue. |
 |
| It's not funny, forced, boring characters and nothing interesting. One of the worst first episodes I've ever seen. Tries to take itself too seriously with a silly proposal that would be for a parody anime. |
| Some otaku pandering lmao but it's the initial premise, still uncertain how competent the writing will go. Animation wise is a hit or miss, but I do like the color pallete. |
| Those ending visuals, though. Definitely has makings of a good anime. Let's see if it will live up to the expectations. |

| mlem Also read Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso wo Kasaneru (Bless Botan) |
| That was bonkers, I loved it. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
Good start, will look forward to Anarchy and the crew. OP slaps tho. |
 |
| Had a strong and insane intro, with a completely and utterly unhinged OP at the end, but its story and comedy kinda lost steam for me as the episode went on. By the end it started to feel really generic in a way that I couldn't exactly write off as deliberate parody. Might be a case where I have to let it cook for a bit longer, but I don't know if I'm really feeling this one. |
| HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS THE BEST |
| It was pretty fun and interesting first episode for me. This could be something worthwhile to watch from the new anime this season asides from the few other ones. The opening sounds great as well. |
 |
| Fridays of Spring 23 have many unconventional shows. Wacky is always good, I just wish this was a bit crazier.

Pretty sure everyone who saw that anime couldn't help but think of it while watching this episode xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

not gonna lie.... |
| This is so crazy lmao. Really liked this anime, and the openning is an absolute banger, no doubt its gonna be one of the best of this year. |
 |
| 1º: If it get the Gainax /Trigger way of craziness and action, i'll love it 2º: It gave me the will to start an otaku revolution 3º: Saya Hiyama mentioned!!!!  |

| get your eyes thoroughly examined |

| Well that was quite something... |
| The soldiers design is funny |
 |
| that was wonky. the most amateurish thing I've seen in a while, feels like every shot was drawn by a different person. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| that was paced like a tornado. i have no idea what just happened, but i don't think i hated it? that ED is super creative and fun, though. the premise is stupid, but that's obviously on purpose, so i'm cautiously optimistic to see where this goes. |
| sure the op looked better then the episode, that’s like the majority of shows.. but the episode still looked very good for the most part. |
| I figured out what this reminds me of: Codename: Kids Next Door ! |
| WTF did I just watch here? This feels just like Rumble Garanndoll, but without the mechas as this war to defend the otaku culture is between soldiers. This is definitely something that I can enjoy as long as I don't think of things too seriously, but still... |
| This flag reminds me of some American anime/manga company's logo and my brain cannot figure out which one. Somebody help me out here? Episode was kinda meh. Yet another "Otakus are being persecuted" anime. |
| bro... :skull: |
| It's pretty fun so far, serious but very comedic at the same time. I think it's a promising anime I feel like it'll get weirder but better as the episodes go by and it may deal with satire and possibly psychology. The animation is really good and the characters seem fun, I also like the way they're referencing the culture. I can't wait to see more of Blue she seems really cool. Her and Anarchy kinda remind me of Panty and Stocking LOL. Amazing opening btw (kinda the reason why I started the anime in the first place lol). |
