Studio 3Hz really likes making shows with girls and rifles & guns, and I approve!

I find the Chuo University Senior School and the National Rifle Association bit very intriguing for some reason. Solid staff though and a fine cast, looking forward to this!

The news does not mention it, but the main four cast members will also form an idol group for the anime series called "Rifling 4 (ライフリング4)". The activity is not clear yet, but they might perform theme songs.

As a self proclaimed girls with guns connoisseur I will most definitely be watching this! I don't know of any anime that have covered competitive shooting yet (if there has been somebody enlighten me) so its nice to see something different.

Also, I had no idea there was a NRA in Japan. I recall a hunting group in Japan sponsored an episode of Sabage-Bu though. Maybe if the NRA in the U.S. sponsors some moe anime they will attract more young members, lol.

The face of the blonde girl at the front of the poster looks really weird...

I’m not sure about this one, it kinda reminds me of that mediocre series Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu from back 2013.

I’ll still give it try though... who knows, it might end up being decent enough.

Oh. We get cute girls do competitive rifle shooting. Interesting. Will give this a try.

I remember we get cute girls do airsoft wargames like Stella and Sabagebu, but this times its different.

Studio 3Hz alone is worth hyping it. Im curious if its yuri too since they only do yuri stuff right now and it seems they are also focusing on it. But it will most likely be a short Anime of around 8mins each Episode. It fits their schedule better since they are doing Princess Principal Movies, Black Fox (TV Anime / "Movie?") and help with a male Idol Anime which name I forgot right now with studio P.A Works.

Since its also my most favourite Studio I except really great stuff here.
