This quote is between 13 year-old main character Luluco and "1st middle school crush" Nova. Luluco, in the beginning of the show, is preoccupied with being normal. As the show progresses, she grows with experience as a (initially unwilling) member of Space Patrol, and eventually, awakens her power, and claims her identity as "Ms. Trigger".
Luluco is a show that pays homage to past Trigger works and other projects director Hiroyuki Imaishi has worked on. Trigger is a company formed by former Gainax employees who when founding the company were looking to take on the burden of their "creative risks" instead of passing them on to other staff. Imaishi made Luluco, not just for love of animation, but to show what his ideas of animation are by showing his influences and former work.
And how do those things show up in Luluco? They are all over the place (warning: if you would rather these by a surprise then skip this paragraph). To name some of the most visible, the Space Patrol chief is a skull head with TTGL (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) style glasses, Luluco's father for most of the show is a disconnected head talking via machine, Luluco's mom is a FLCL-like space pirate looking not unlike Haruko, Inferno Cop's Inferno Cop makes an appearance, episode 9 has the world of Imaishi's Animator Expo entry "Sex and Violence with Machspeed", episode 7 has the life fibers from Kill la Kill, episode 8 has a cameo from Little Witch Academia's Sucy, and Nova has Kiznaiver's scars in episode 12.
But enough talk about the ideas behind the show, how is the show itself? The show has a style that is similar to 2010's Cartoon Network influenced Panty and Stocking both in the animation's look and its bombastic, slap stick comedy. The music is generally frenetic to match the pacing of the show. Teddyloid from the Panty and Stocking OST is a returning composer along with Mayumi Shichani. The show has great visuals, and more appealing then usual character designs.
If there is anything to complain about Space Patrol Luluco, it is its lack of feature depth. it is shorter then half a normal 13 episode cour and the plot is sporadic, not following any given idea for long. These facts taken together equate to a show that can feel light weight at times. The only real thread that ties the show together in the end is the relationship between Luluco and Nova.
If you have never seen any of the aforementioned shows before Space Patrol Luluco, it is still entirely likely you may enjoy Luluco as a standalone. However, if you disliked Panty and Stocking, which this show is probably closest to in style and form, you still might enjoy Luluco because the ecchi and potty mouthing is absent, but proceed with caution. Luluco is short, and not as substantiated as some past Imaishi projects, but it is still a whole lot of fun, and definitely a highlight of this anime season.
