| Well as expected it's cute as hell, I love it! |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| I can't believe there are already off-faces in ep 1. What disappointment from a studio that gave us such an amazingly animated show as Flip Flappers. |
Higurashi Gou is the worst anime in existence. |
| Japanese official title: Rifle Is Beautiful English official title: Chidori RSC Sounds legit :D Other than that, a kinda mediocre CGDCT show with fast pacing. I felt like I watched 4 episodes worth of a normal one. |

I can't believe there are already off-faces in ep 1. What disappointment from a studio that gave us such an amazingly animated show as Flip Flappers. The reason why Flip Flappers was good (especially in terms of visuals; story-wise is debatable) was because Kiyotaka Oshiyama was the director (as well storyboard artist and key animator). He brought lots of good outside talent into that project as well. He has formed a new studio now (Studio Durian), so I doubt he will be directing another anime for Studio 3Hz again. Same thing happened with Madhouse when Masaaki Yuasa formed his new studio science SUBARU. He used to direct a lot of series for Madhouse, but not anymore. It also seems that this series lacks resources from the studio. It seems that during its production lots of the studio resources were directed to the BLACKFOX movie. And now that’s over, they are been directed to the Principal Princess movies, not this… which, in all honestly, is understandable. |

| rifle is beautiful - absolute k-on! ripoff in parts some scenes are ripped straight from k-on!, its hilarious otherwise actually quite enjoyable show apart from the totally not yuki from haruhi because she is named yukio and has light blue hair instead of purple, very different and the totally not ripped off russian asuka clone wow these creators really had no fucking chill |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| I can't think of any cute girls show that would not be improved by introducing basically the whole cast immediately, and this actually did it. |
| Certified "cute girls doing cute things" expert the cute girls doing cute things club needs you! maybe you didn't give re:stage dream days a chance; please re:consider |
| The story itself is very traditional CGDCT, but the CGI was awful and I can't say I like the voice acting. The speed at which some of them talk is just way too slow. It's still early and this wasn't that much of a wreck, so let's see where this goes. |
| Why do they hold the rifle like autistic kids with ALS? |
 |
In2TheBlu said: That was cute. Perhaps the most traditional CGDCT of the season. A perfect show for americans too.  They're not using real guns 3/10 would only watch for cute girls |
| The usual CGDCT fanfare, but with rifles that only are capable of shooting lasers? Seems they did not want to go that extra mile with "interfering" with SAO Alternative: GGO (since it's basically 4 X Karen's) which also include (real) rifles and such. Solving a disbanding club within the first half, WOW that is insanely fast, I'd say at break-neck speed. Furthermore with the techniques, clothing and such. This pacing is just too fast, even for a 4-koma manga series. Overall, even as a massive CGDCT fan, I just can't find myself to like this. +1 show to another 3 episode count. Plus with Studio 3Hz devoting much of their time to Black Fox, the animations are more stiff then their usual calibre. We'll have to see... |
 |
| This may have been the worst CGDCT anime ive ever seen. I actually like these kind of anime but this one was just like "Lets throw everything into one episode, oh and for this anime to not be interesting!" Ill give it one more episode but its probably a guaranteed drop. |

| ok, good enough start. Did not expect them to get so many members on episode 1. looking forward to next week. :) |
| Pacing felt a little weird, probably because it's the adaptation of a yonkoma manga. Erika gave me huge Hiiragi Kagami vibes, same tsundere nature and the voice sounded a bit similar. Not really expecting much from this, just hoping it'll be able to give me some lighthearted laughs during this season, should be enough for my enjoyment. |

| I want to know if anyone's in the same boat as me. I am not the type of guy to watch this show normally, (shows about girls hanging out in a school club), but I was drawn in by the whole gun thing. I hope the next episode focuses on that more. It was only like 40% of the episode and the rest made me feel like a retard for watching it. Is anyone in a similar spot as me?  |
| I don't know that was just boring. |
 |
| AH, IT'S CUTE. I guess I'll continue watch... oh dear lord why are the guns cg, WHY ARE THEIR ARMS AND THE GUNS CG? How did this happen... Well it's extremely noticeable but it doesn't hurt to look at, so I can work with this... at least for the moment, this seems pretty boring, I'm gonna need something more than this to keep me going. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| I loved how they made light of the typical club sports anime story line: The club needs more members or it will close! Solved 3 minutes later The club needs new equipment : solved 1 minute later Club member characterizations: all laid out in under 2 minutes And so on..... So now the anime production executive has all the blocks checked on his clipboard and we can devote 11 full episodes to the actual story. This is kinda cool :) |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Easy to tell the source is a 4-koma. It's a bit odd to gather everyone so quickly, but it's a refreshing change of pace. Also lol at gun nuts getting btfo. |
 |
| Blandest looking 3Hz show so far. CGI hands area especially jarring. |
 |
| I really liked this first episode! Hikari is so so my type of genki clumsy protagonist, and the rest of the main cast looked lovely as well. With those type of works I kinda prefer that the focus on the sport isn't too big and more like a background for the girls to be together while focusing more on the comedy and the character interactions, so far it's been around the % I want of it, really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Okay another sabagebu or uppote anime appear in this year. But hey. That CGI hurting my eyes. |
| The rifle is kinda blah (even if they tried to explain "beam rifle" lol) Gonna just watch this anime fo rthe cuteness factor after watching other more serious anime. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Cute. Op was decent. I worry that this won't keep my entire interest for the full 12, but it should get most of it. |
| I always though what kind of rifles are they, so its interesting to know it uses lasers. Pretty cool stuff. This is something more on moe slice of life more than the sport itself. But I'm fine with that. But hey, its just the first episode. Hopefully, there's no forced drama. |
| I usually don't mind or i dare say even like some of those slice of life with cute girls doing cute things. This one or at least the first episode is not cutting it for me. No comedy and the girls are pretty generic with nothing likeable about them |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Cute and decent start. |

| Man, this's freakin' cute! Why the overall rating is so low again? |
| Super generic and no explanation about why there is no recoil; without which i dont know why shooting is hard. |
| Man, the amount of good voice acting behind this show is kinda insane.... |
