Apart from the terrible voice acting the animation was fluid. Its a good short thats nothing spectacular just frilly-frilly and the story is bland. I don't know but this seems as an animation to test the waters of something new.

It was ok but nothing special, the voice acting was definitely off especially from that one boy and overall, the plot seemed too generic.

I thought that Mars of Destruction was bad, but this surpassed my expectations.

This was just terrible, there were 3 people that had really bad voice acting. The main actor and 2 of her friends. It just felt like a really bad one shot. Good animation though.

Actually, that was not bad.

Shity voice acting and pretty boy villian... Also the fact she's freakin 10... Pink haired heroine...

But I liked it.

The story is pretty much the average kid's show, nothing exceptionally bad or amazing. It managed to be simple and coherent, though it's not exactly difficult with the safe generic route. Voice acting was bad indeed, but not really a factor for me. Overall nothing was particularly remarkable, good or bad.

What the heck I don't even. Just tell me why these thughs aren't in the youth detention center yet. This is, like, the most violent OVA I've ever seen, and the fact that it's all happening in an elementary school freaked the shit out of me. Where are the parents of these boys? In the jail, I guess. Hehe. But let's be serious - in my country (I live in Poland) things depicted in this short OVA happen everyday and it's normal, but the action of this show is set in Japan, and I'm pretty sure that if anyone tried to use violence against one of their schoolmates or even better, the teacher, they would be discarded for the rest of their lives. It doesn't matter they are 10.

Violence matter aside, this is a really poor OVA. Voice acting, animation, music - all that almost gave me cancer :|.

I like strong girls, but not when they are elementary school students==
Seeing the voice actors being AKB48, I didn't expect much from their acting already...

This was just okay. An interesting premise that could be expanded on, but what can you do with 10 minutes.

wow...that was kind of...really bad =.="
the soundtrack, plot and voice acting REALLY sucked
the voices didn't match the characters AT ALL
the animation wasn't that bad, but the character designs...yeah, not so much :/
I mean come on, do these look like 5th graders?

yeah, didn't think so.
overall, this really sucked and I wouldn't watch it even if it were only 2 minutes.

Fun fact: pink haired girl shares the same "voice actor" (quotations are there for a reason) with Rumi, Bossun's sister in SKET Dance. Same...droopy...voice...acting.

Masaru' a guy? Damn that's a girly voice.

Never ever let AKB48 near anime, that includes that shitty AKB anime.

Also, DAT ANIMATION when pink haired fighter hits the punk. Gainax animation there.

I've seen worse, 5/10.

6/10. I thought the story was pretty interesting. The animation and voice acting were kind of bad/weird, but I would probably watch a full season if it ever got made.

I thought it was horrible so I gave it a respectable rating of 2/10......awful. Just AWFUL! She's not even convincingly strong, what the hell does the "Pink Hana-Shit" power do??? Make her glow pink and speak in a Kansai accent??

So bad...insta-delete!

It was okay...
I didn't notice the bad voice acting (or so you guys say) though, but that's probably because my skills are really bad.

It's not like any of you read the manga. Only 6 people even added it to their list.

The concept is dumb, it's executed poorly, the voice actors don't fit the characters for the most part.


But, the animation is really good.

This is literally one of my favorites of all time. I can't even explain it.

Yes the voice acting is bad. In fact a lot of it is bad, but I find it just so enthralling. It probably only deserves a 3/10, but in my heart it's totally a 10/10.

I want to find the manga somewhere but it's like impossible to find or something.

Not at all what I expected. I watched it cause it looked so cute. I should have read the description haha. It was just kids beating each other up which I didn't really like. But it wasn't bad. And marimo is crazy cute. I thought she was adorable even though her voice was really weird haha.
