  Are the boys grenades? Impressions: Way to really outdo yourself, Upotte. You made me long for the repeated clumsy sex jokes of the first episode. Congratu-bloody-lations. Aside from a few panty shots, the T&A and sex stuff was pretty much all gone from this episode. In its place was a whole lot nothing. They [...]

It will come as no surprise to the reader that Upotte objectifies girls.  That is, after all, literally the premise of the show: that girls can actually be guns.  But perhaps the truly artistic element of its premise is that statement in reverse: that guns – inanimate objects – can be girly. Perhaps the teacher’s [...]

Initial impression – a difficult premise (3/10) Spring 2012 (more info) Where Hetalia is the personification of countries and The Sacred Blacksmith is the personification of swords, Upotte!! is the personification of guns.  I want to reinforce this idea that most of the characters in this series are literally guns in human form and their [...]

Well, the first episode of Upotte was a curious experience and one I went into with a certain amount of dread, not entirely sure what to expect from a series with such an outlandish concept as this. Seishou Academy is a school full of quite unique girls – they are all anthropomorphized guns that attend [...]

These girls are aiming for your hearts with their moe bullets. Moe gunporn?! What is this, an alternate heaven for otakus? I saw this for the LULZ and for the lack of better term, it was not so bad. Sometimes crazy concepts actually work so let’s see how this goes with my tag partner, Foshy~ [...]

The other day I found that my childhood buddy has finally landed a job of his dream/calling, which is to work as an attorney working on gun ownership related litigation in the state of New Jersey. Just a blurb about gun ownership, it’s something of an American tradition; living in the land of excess you [...]

ᔥ @draggle_kun, Draggle’s Anime Blog Ditto. [[MORE]] Role call! Anthropomorphous guns (or how you read the word anyway). Incoming n00b teacher who publicly talks about thongs (Whiskey Tango Foxtrot). Other military equipment disguised as humans. The two kids in the festival. What’s the problem, Jay? I was not amused with the sexual innuendo slapping my face. Funko is funny though, as opposed to moé. I recommended this for myself, although I think it’s like every other comedy anime. I like Gintama’ more than this one. Will Military Otaku appreciate this? This is good for military otakus (not sure) and anime fans alike. Make a Venn Diagram for me then sketch that out, that’s where Upotte! is (…in the middle).

I was busy last week studying for a final I wrote today and watching 50 episodes of Gintama so I didn’t have much time to check out any new shows. So here I am to bang out a few quick first impressions. Upotte!! Plot Synopsis: Chicks=guns. Thoughts: Weird and boring. Score: 1/5 Upotte!! is available [...]

Against my better judgement, I was kinda looking forward to Upotte!! this season. I’m a big fan of stupid moe-anthropomorphism premises, and as a mild firearm enthusiast this naturally piqued my interest. The pilot episode of Upotte!! is a slew of mediocrity and plain character designs. While it didn’t come off as totally bad (unlike [...]

As the anime started, I heard the cheesy sounding school flute tune, then these 4 girls just appeared and talked to each other sideways, in the most awkward way possible. “This is Xebec, after all…” I told myself. However, despite … Continue reading →

Summery (from Black and Blue Socks): In a school where girls are either brainwashed to believe they’re guns or an androids built to be fighting machines, we learn that guns have sexual desires too. If there’s one thing Xebec can … Continue reading →

Since these pretty much belong in the same retardo moe tier, I might as well just throw them in a single post. Sengoku Collection leaves little room for doubt about being a demented comedy/fanservice show. In an alternate timeline famous … Continue reading →
