I started watching this anime at the beginning of the season and didn't find it very interesting. At the end, given its high score and various online talk, I gave it another shot. However, I was right the first time.

Setting in which young girls work dangerous jobs for the goverment or other is not new. Anime like Gunslinger Girls or Black Bullet have done it before. Characters are stockpile ones, basically. One has short blonde hair, the other long black. One is cheerful, other is reserved. There is no personality there, and all the growth you see in anime is as you can expect from ... the last sentence. Art and animation are good, soundtrack was okay, but nothing that stuck with me.

Anime progression was interesting though. After the first couple of episode which introduce the setting, middle part becomes a slice-of-life type with characters working in a caffee and doing odd jobs for the HQ. It was actually pretty enjoyable. Near the end though, they had to raise the stakes and had these repeated mediocre anime shoot-outs that are barely watchable.

Recommending only if action anime are your thing.

First thing I want to mention, if you are thinking, like I was, about watching this because it's P.A. Works, just don't. Animation is worse than in your regular harem anime.

Anime follows a girl named Chika as she joins Brass Instrument Club in her new high school and tries to get to the nationals. Now if this was actually true you might even have a decent anime, but it boils down to episodic mystery solving followed by adding a few new members to their club. You might get a few chuckles here and their from Chika's and her childhood friend Haru's interaction, but nothing more.

Characters ... are all made so tragic and "deep" and without exception their life problems are solved by Haru in a single episode. Imagine that. Animation as mentioned is below standard. Music in the anime, ironically, doesn't have a single memorable song in it.

You can skip this one without a doubt.

After kind of weak 1st season, I was delighted when I started the sequel. The most noticable change about 2nd season is there was no big plot in play and it worked perfectly for the anime in my humble opinion. It finally become what it was supposed to be, a light anime that makes you feel relaxed and happy and not to concern about some complex story. That was the thing I liked the most about it. In other segments it hasnt changed much since first season. Art style, music and characters stayed pretty much the same with a few additions, but none of those ... things are what made this anime so enjoyable. Hope the 3rd season keeps this recipe.
