Ucchu Patrol Luluco has a very interesting conception: turn upside down the life of a normal girl who is a junior high school student 13 years old, called Luluco, in the midst of an universe full of megalomaniac and nonsense absurdities. Who likes nonsense and, mainly, very absurd comedies will hardly not like Ucchu Patrol Luluco. The director Hiroiyuki Imaishi and his team decided to make this anime a great mix of various ideas and even experimentations, as in one of the episodes in which the script was theoretically done intentionally through improvisation and i found the result genius. Hiroiyuki Imaishi really knows what he does. In this anime, he was extremely artistic to turn something pure and sincere into the pillar that supports all the megalomaniac and nonsense development of the work. Another very interesting thing about the anime is that it is also a great tribute to the previous TRIGGER's works as Inferno Cop, Little Witch Academia, Kill la Kill, Sex and Violence with Machspeed and even Gurren Lagann, which was made by the bankrupt studio GAINAX, from which came out part of the staff who founded the TRIGGER studio. This was an anime full of references to these series and even had episodes of crossover with almost all of them. And every reference and crossover was well embedded in the anime. These were some of the ideas of the conception of the work, but it's possible to speak of more conceptions contained in this anime.

The plot was simply sensational. The succession of events of episode to episode and also within each episode was a gigantic nonsense spatial madness with many exciting and funny action scenes. The pace of this anime is extremely fast; it's very difficult to track the speed of events and development of the series ideas, because even being nonsense the anime carries a good dose of meanings.

The story was also pretty cool. It was cool to see Luluco's growth; very comforting and inspiring.

The script was very well written. It's possible to understand everything easily and to follow a good logical line. However, as the plot, the script is also very fast. I had to pause and or return several times to be able to read everything.

The characters are all very good. Hiroiyuki Imaishi created its concepts very well. They are a great salad of weird and unforgettable characters. Each of them is very different, but the differences are exactly what complement each other to create a series of bizarre situations and interesting interrelationships. I especially found Midori-chan SO MUCH FUNNY!!! XDDD

The soundtrack was very competent as usual by TRIGGER. The opening and the ending of the anime perfectly match the conception of the work. The opening is very agitated and funny as the anime and the ending is rather relaxing and touching. The voice acting was also very professional and is a remarkable aspect of the anime!

The animation? Perfect. I was quite caricatured, beautiful, colorful and mainly quite experimental. Not at random, there are several completely surreal moments during the episodes. Fitted perfectly with the conception of the series.

My Final Grade to this anime was Good = 7/10.

Congratulations and thanks a lot to all the TRIGGER's staff that worked in this anime for providing this unforgettable work!

And here I finish. See ya.
