Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (1/12 eps)
As someone who's into guns and all things militaria, this anime sounded great on paper. However, upon forcing myself to sit through just one episode, I was met with some rather saddening disappointment.

The Bad:
Nothing really drew me in. The story is uninteresting, the characters are shallow and stereotypical, and the non-main characters in this world feel less alive than Skyrim NPCs. Everything just makes me want to cringe, from the dialogue between characters, to the hardcore airsoft larping. Maybe it's just a personal gripe since these kinds of people in real life leave a bad taste in my mouth. Airsoft can be fun and all, but fantasizing it as real combat with real guns is just silly and childish. Either way, I don't find this kind of stuff enjoyable to watch. Also, the characters feel incredibly half-assed, as they can be summarized into "big tiddy bitch with blue hair", "big tiddy bitch with purple hair" "loli with pink hair", and "main character flat chested pink hair bitch jealous of big tiddy bitches". It's like the creators know how shallow their characters are and desperately try to cram totally unique never before seen features in anime like wacky hair colors.

The Good:
The firearms in this show are the best I've ever seen in anime. Almost every little detail is consistently there, spanning the feature of dozens of firearms. Despite all the characters using airsoft guns, they're often drawn with features real firearms would have, such as rifling in the barrel. Sadly, this is the only good thing I can personally say about this show.

All that said, the creators knew they were making something wacky that needs some suspension of disbelief to enjoy. Narration interrupts certain scenes and at the beginning/end of the episodes telling the viewer that what they're watching isn't in any way reality and is portrayed through the eyes of these girls who enjoy fantasizing and playing around. So while it explains the wackiness of the show, it doesn't make it any more enjoyable to me. Maybe some enjoyment is found in this show, but it isn't some /k/ incarnate gem.
