----------------------------------------
This was kinda fun but also strange. Not a fan of the visual style but the characters has a lot of energy in it.

OP song is even catchy.

Seems like a really unpredictable show with the events happening. The main trio of girls could be a fun watch although I'm not feeling much for the story yet. Rito is my favorite from this group so far.

I'm fairly sure that this will have a little group defending the show to the death but i'm afraid i'm not in it.

I'll continue this to see if the little tidbits of information we get lead to a bigger plot, for now i'm not really feeling it though, it's an okay start.

Really really really strange.
It has caught my interest how odd this show has started.

Thought I'd give this anime a chance but no, it's definitely not for me. The art was quite nice, a bit to bright and childlike for my preference though. This is one of those weird magical girl adventure anime. The characters are pretty boring, there is no comedy, I'm not invested in this odd plot... I'm gonna have to drop this right away.

Interesting style for sure, although so saccharine, my teeth started to hurt.

And so far, the best new series of the season, if only because the rest is completely awful.

The concept and art are interesting but I didn’t get any feel for the characters and it was kinda boring. Probably not going to follow this one unless episode 2 gets glowing reviews.

I'm such a huge fan of the art that I feel like I'm a bit biased... I really love the colours and how unique it is, and I'm fan of the original character designer Mugi Tanaka, I even own her art book because I love her art style so much.

But in all honesty, the first episode was okay, a little boring at times and the character's personalities are a little eh but maybe it'll get more into whatever the story is in the next few episodes. I really hope it does just so I can have more of a reason to watch this other than just the art style alone.

Holy shit. That was so cute and colorful throughout. Ugh. I can't handle the cuteness. :3 I'm in love with its animation. Jeez. I feel like having a diabetes while watching this. Lmao. It was an okay first episode. Liked it.

In just first episode, they're already fighting aliens stealing every planet's culture. Lol. Liked the trio already especially Kotoko-chan.

The animation kinda reminds me of FLCL. *makes gesture* Kinda!

If it was edited down to a short it could probably be an okay show, but at full length it's garbage.

The Kyary anime... I always have time for the overblown quirky but the animation looks a tad too cheap here. Maybe could have been better in 10 minute form?

That was a mess. Even Haruna Luna's debut seiyuu role can't save this episode. Her newbie skills in contrast with Sumire Uesaka only hurt her, IMO. The art style just looked outright low budget and western. Not what I expect from "anime". The animation itself was pretty awful and choppy. And the plot was bland, as was the script. Lastly, this just reminds me of something middle school girls use to write here in the West.

What really annoyed me was the lack of any ambient sound though. Only sound seemed to come from the characters. No birds, no bugs, no wind. This isn't uncommon in anime but I think the soundtrack that didn't really fit just highlighted the lack of ambient noise.

so anyone knows if this show is in anyway related to 2.5 Spins? they showed her entering it when she was heading work, they mentioned their store selling food aswell, wich 2.5 Spinns also does. guess they work there then.
the store seems to really focusu on selling merchandise of small/young artists and designers from what ive seen. and lots of goods they sell are witch cutsy characters on them. the character designs in the anime straigt up look like something you might find on a shirt or bag there.

Why does this remind me of Flip Flappers? And not in a good way. Never been a fan of the Harajuku kawaii style, so I doubt I'll stick with this for long. I did actually lol and wtf when the fried shrimp — "Ebifurya desu!" — made his debut, so 1.333 points for that.

So there is this studio that gets all the left over drugs from Shaft and Trigger ....

But to be hinest the art is amazing. Incredible creative, vibrant and detailed. Story, characters and direction isn't really there yet and i don't know if it ever will or if it will be sacrificed on the altar of style, but holy shit it is certainly a trip.

Basically Rolling Girls mixed with Wanwa the puppy (Genius Party Beyond).
Not everyone will apreciate it, but everybody should give it a try.

This was a weird one for me. I adore the art style, flashy, colorful, charming, completely my thing. The bits of animation there are seem fairly expressive and fun, but there isn't very much animation at all and it often seems stiff. The split screens worked sometimes, but felt odd at others. The fried shirmp is the most unique idea for a cute animal mascot I've ever seen, and I like it just in terms of concept since we know so little about it at the moment.

The story just feels off. There is very little reaction at all when aliens start attacking, and the characters act as if it's not that odd. The scene where the shrimp gives the girls their powers felt like poor exposition, made worse by the fact that the Scooper was standing right in front of them and doing literally nothing throughout that entire segment, but then ran away once the girls started chasing it despite seeming like it didn't notice them at first. Everything as a whole felt like it was happening too quickly to be fully established really.

Overall, I love the art-style and charming whimsical feel, and find the characters to be solid enough (and very cute). The story and direction is usually pretty messy, with awkward scene transitions, lack of animation, poor exposition, and poor pacing. The whimsy and charm is enough to carry me for now, and I'm not sure how they will tie this alien invasion to the girls passion for fashion which could be interesting, but we'll have to see how it goes because a lot of it is messy.

3/5, but more like a 2.5 since that's not an option.

I adored the art style. It was the only reason I was able to sit through the whole episode. It might be what gets me to watch the next episode too because besides that, this show does not really do anything great storywise or with the characters. It was actually quite boring, but things like the beauty of the end card really make me see it as the best art style of the season. I'm biased, I like that style to begin with - Persona 5 is my favorite video game of the year for gods sake I love the artistic aesthetic.

That was uh... interesting. It was fun and cute, though! Always enjoy something just simple, silly, and fun to watch each week. Also Kotoko's seiyuu also voiced Chiaki from Gamers so I'm definitely continuing because of that - love her voice ^^
