| Im so not ready for this beautiful show to be over |
| I really liked the show but something threw me off this episode. The end product was nothing like they talked about in the previous episode, or I am just being stupid and forgetting something? Also that static shot after the op where they were sitting around the computer kinda took me out of the episode for a minute. The eyes were weird and the characters stood too still for too long. But besides all that, I really enjoyed the series it was an ok conclusion to a really good show. 9/10 |
| Eizouken gets a 9 outta 10 from me. I wouldn't go as far to call it a "must watch", but I would absolutely consider this to be a damn good show. Any anime fan can learn to appreciate the dedication and craft that goes behind all the little things that make up these shows we love, and breathing life to their worlds. It's really a really tough field no doubt, and a lot of those folks could sure use the recognition and proper compensation. This anime did a great job of conveying that all the while not sacrificing the core theme and good lightheartedness of the show with its colorful ensemble of characters. |
 |
| 8/10 anime overall |
| This anime was something I had no idea I needed...honestly, I loved it from the memetic opening animation on through to the final seconds of this last episode. Definitely gonna be a series that will stick with me for quite some time. A rare 10/10 for me. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Nice ending to a great anime! I still think that episode 8 was the best episode of the season, it just enveloped everything I like about anime and what I find fascinating about the anime production process. I must say that I much preferred this anime to the likes of Shirobako for example. This was honestly entertaining from start to finish, from the excellent voice acting, to the backstories of Kanamori and Asakusa, to the Men in Black, to the student council. The world of Shibahama was so imaginative, it made me wonder if it was a place in real life. Excellent world building. I do wish they explained what Kanamori and the secretary were discussing, the episode when they went to do some sound hunting. It seemed the secretary was hinting at something. As well, I wanted to see how the Shibahama shopping street was affected by the anime. All in all, really impressive anime. I’d love for a second season!!! 8/10 |
| Pretty good all the way to the end. In the short, when the 2 pilots crash and the story is explained felt off and i probably wouldn't get it unless i knew what was happening before hand, which we as the viewers do but the people who bought the dvd don't. In the end, the whole thing with the bells didn't go anywhere and could have been entirely cut off and i don't understand why the two suddenly had a revelation. It would feel more organic if both had crashed in the same place and either saw something that showed their ancestry or maybe simply by meeting face to face they realized. Aside from that, there was some great animation in there. |
| Eizouken's "Shibahama UFO Wars" short film kind of reminded me of another short, "Paths of Hate" by Damian Nenow (look it up on YouTube) |
| I was eating when the DVD readers and TVs exploded, which made me laugh, and now I have food stuck in bad places. Damn. |
| not gonna lie...watching only because of OP...a mediocre show |
 |
| A couple of episodes were boring but a fun ride nonetheless. 8/10. Anyone know where I can cop Mizusaki's hoodie?  |
| Show is an instant classic, hope we get a s2 soon |
| generally I enjoyed watching but in the last 2-3 episodes things felt a lot more complicated 8/10 |
| Glad to see the girls managed to solve the audio issue on time... by completely changing the project's ending. Not gonna lie, I actually liked that Midori decided to go for a more open ending since I considered the first one too optimistic and kinda forced for my taste. Still, I think the execution could have been better since from the main characters' "realization" scene onward, things felt more overwhelming and confusing than anything else. This said, I still highly enjoyed the final project and considering the episode as a whole, it was indeed a satisfying way to conclude the series. Overall, I really enjoyed watching this show week by week. Loved how the creative process was presented by having Midori letting her imagination fly and making the girls interact with it, the cast (especially the main trio) was extremely charming and Shibahama's world-building was truly engaging. 8/10 - Wouldn't mind a second season though I think it isn't really necessary. |
| damn that last shot is simply beautiful. i love all the characters. the two of them surrendering in the end reminds me of the drawings of Frey surrendering to the government (Fisheye Placebo) and got me a bit emotional. 9/10. would've been a 10/10 if we had more time to read the notes they wrote for each of their designs. |
I definitely agree that this episode felt off. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and would have rated it 10/10 except for this episode. 1 - They didn't even bother addressing the conflict with the school, which had been a major plot thread throughout the rest of the series. Completely dropping a plot thread like this in the final episode is just bad writing. 2 - I loved all the previous creative animations, but this one just was weird. I would have definitely felt robbed of my 1000 yen had I purchased this DVD. I bet the shop owners are mad too since it barely makes a nod to advertising. Plus, they made a last minute change to the end of the anime to accommodate the new music, but then that music didn't play in their final version? All in all, Eizouken was like a great gymnastics floor routine flubbed by a small misstep at the end. It didn't ruin the anime as a whole (like Kado), but it was a letdown. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
FMmatron said: Ngl, kinda lost it's touch for a short time during the middle of the series and it wasn't quite as quirky as at the beginning, also would've wished for it to be double cour:S Nonethless an absolutely charming series and something that I was able to appreciate even beyond simple enjoyment. It will be dearly missed. 8,5/10 Agreed with you, I can't really put a handle on what I thought was lacking during the middle of the series but it was still very charming and unique throughout it's run. Very fresh, quirk and thoroughly enjoyable. 8/10 |
 |
| I kinda missed what exactly was the end of the animation, gotta rewatch later. |
| It was decent but the final animation they made was imo the wosrt one out of all the ones they made. 6/10. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Honestly, their changes from dancing scene to another scenes is kinda bullshit; no way it only take them a night to make all those scenes. That aside, one of great anime this seasons. Tbh, I really dislike Yuasa's style but this one is one of his better anime, a good balance between style and substance. |
| I was so absorbed by the show that by the time they played the final animation I forgot for a split second that I wasn't watching an anime by two highschool students and was amazed at what they had made. Overall an 8/10 for me, a great show. |
 |
| Many films are said to be a love letter to cinema. If any show is a love letter to anime then now we know what it is. 8/10 But yes the last episode could have been better. |
| Really impressive anime to be honest, unique style of art and animation and the character types are so different and stand out that it really makes it interesting. Loved the end and the general flow of this anime I must say! |
 |
| Sleeping Asakusa is so cuteeeee!!!! ❤️❤️ I hope they make an OVA showing the full detail of their movie, with dialogue and all.. they explain the movie but I want to understand it more.. some scenes are too fast and just a picture.. OVA/Movie please!! A big salute to Yuasa!! |
 |
| the filmwhatever they made was less coherent and totally hard to follow without context but i think that's ok - it was a last minute crunch, and it totally should be considered an imperfect work, albeit a successful one i would have made this notion more clear, but otherwise i don't see anything wrong with this anime. the biggest complaint I can really see is "i find it boring", a sentiment i happen not to share |
 |
| Great show, but final episode is shit. Lack of animation, too stupid for this show problem with OST, shit anime short they made. |
 |
| I really hope we get more shows like this with anime girls like these ones. |
| Very little anime that I consider masterpieces but this show came damn well close to it. I was sketchy at first with the animation but god damn man it fucking hit! MAL needs to bring in a decimal system or something. I would love to give shows a proper score like a 9.3 or 4.5. I gave ti a 10/10 but honestly it's like a 9.3/10 Such a great anime. |

| Even though I found this anime to be boring in the beginning, it shaped up to be a great watch! The way it shows everyone's role in the production of anime and how their personalities came to be that way was probably the reason why I loved this show so much. I also weirdly liked the animation and the way it presented some scenes, but I really did not like the art style for the characters(I liked the design don't get me wrong) and I hated the imagination scenes(they were just boring and added on to just take up time). |
   |
| Felt like they were out of content in this episode... I wanted to see main cast more than their shitty anime, the show it self is way way better and the concept of the last "Short" was lacking luster. Fabulous show 8/10 Gonna miss it for sure. |
| Meh... big snooze fest for me :/ Well, i'll just give credit to the girls for being really creative and doing what they do with love and passion, that was nice to see. But man... i just got so bored most of the time, i couldn't really get into this anime like i wanted to.. 6/10 from me. |
 |
| The visuals are exorbitant! It was damn great! and of course as Asakusa-shi said, this needs IMPROVEMENT!!! 5/5. hope the live action would be great as well... The COMIKET went fine as well but IRL they cannot do that in times of pandemic peril! 8/10. |
 |
| 7/10 Something about the ending didn't hit me as much as it could. Like, I was expecting a tearjerker of some sort. Some real drama. Maybe because backstories weren't explored that much? I felt like there could've been some deeper flashbacks. Kinda felt shallow. But overall an enjoyable anime, loved seeing the whole technical process of how anime is made :) The chemistry of the main characters was what really dragged me into the show - their passion for drawing and making anime. It was a nice breather from uni work! Also Kanamori best girl |

 "You... are truly slothful!" |
| What a charming show, and what an enjoyable ride it was! Definitely one of my favorites from this season and I'm gonna miss watching it. An 8/10 from me |
| An amazingly strong showing from Science SARU, Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! will absolutely go on as my favorite show from this season. The three main girls meshed so well together, and to see their work blossom over time was satisfying and highly enjoyable. The animation was marvelous and my jaw was dropping what seemed like every other second. I really want another season of this show, I can't describe my enjoyment of it enough. 8/10. |
Easy Breezy Nice, charming watch |

| I meant to say this a long time ago, but forgot. I want to give a shout out to Sayaka Kanamori, who I initially thought was just going to sit around and watch her other main club members work as she played the straight man or something. I assumed she was going to add nothing much to the story. Instead, she served as a realistic problem-solver and somehow came off as a reassuring figure even when things went wrong. As intimidating as she was, darn near nothing would have happened without her, and I think that says a lot about her role. Additionally, she did take the time to let her fellow club members do things their way every now and then, which I think was a really great way to manage. She allowed them to fail but only when knowing that they'd have enough time to fix it with a lot of work. She turned out to be a really cool and dependable character and I'm sorry for my previous doubts. She ended up being one of the most interesting aspects of this show for me! It's been a fun ride with this anime and I hope others learned a little more about animation. I darn near clapped when Tsubame said she didn't want to make anime but animation. Fwoooh! :U Preach! I feel like one of my only nitpicks would be some of the music. Not that it's bad to reuse music, but I always felt the track with the horns was a little underwhelming for one that played so much. It's fine though. The episodes after the first were a little slow, but sticking around made them worth it. The whole show was worth it. Glad I picked this up. |
| Other than that turd of an anime that the girls made at the end, I loved the series. No, but, seriously, how is any part of 'Shibahama UFO Wars' decipherable to an average watcher? Imagine buying this cd and then watching whatever that was; its visuals do a terrible job of explaining the world in the creators' minds. I guess I just feel miffed because of the lead up to it. Looking at the series as a whole, 'Shibahama UFO Wars' can be ignored, I guess, in order to appreciate the value of the rest of the incredible show. |
