It's not terrible.
But, it's not good, either.
It's "Meh.".

That pretty much sums up Hit Wo Nerae. An anime that is clearly dated at this point, with its copious amounts of needless panty shots and juvenile attempts at humor. This is the kind of anime that came out when it was still funny to flip up girls skirts and smack them on their butt. I'm no puritan feminist, but even I see how old and played out that kind of fanservice humor is and this old anime plants its flag right in the center of that kind of comedy.

But, Hit Wo Nerae, I don't think is really trying to be a comedy. I think it's more a slice of life anime, trying to give a shallow glimpse of the inner workings of making a TV show. I think this is more industry guys making a show for industry guys to enjoy, than for fans. And I guess that makes sense, since this is apparently an attachment to an actual anime called Cosplayers, which I have never seen or heard of before, which is showing how that show got made through an anime.

There really wasn't much about this anime that stood out. It's really just about a simple and naive woman who dreams about making a detective film, having to come to grips with the reality that life doesn't allow you to achieve your dreams easily. And that satisfaction can come from the detours in life if you learn the lessons they teach and learn to embrace those around you. It's really trying to be a coming-of-age anime as well, with way too much talk about growing up and being an adult by realizing these things. Which was kind of odd, because the MC is 25 years old. She's not a teenager.

Again, this anime isn't much. You won't fall out your chair laughing, you won't cry or find any kind of deep emotional connection with any of the characters. It's just something you watch to watch. Something you don't even really know why you watched other than you just did because it was short.

It's meh.
