| I had a look at the first three episodes of Black Lagoon, since I had never watched it before. Black Lagoon is certainly worth trying. I'll compare and contrast them: Female character: "Miou" in Sabagebu: Weapon of choice: airsoft Desert Eagle 0.50 AE standard round: 6 mm diameter plastic sphere bullet mass: 0.20 grams muzzle velocity: 100 metres/s (328 feet/s) kinetic energy: 1.0 Joules Female character: "Revy" in Black Lagoon: Weapon of choice: modified Beretta 92FS standard round: 9×19mm Parabellum bullet mass: 7.45 grams muzzle velocity 390 metres/s (1300 feet/s) kinetic energy: 570 Joules In addition to that, I found a nice compilation of all of the funny scenes in Black Lagoon, and it has a lot of great comedy. But it is primarily action. T3hSource also said: . . . actual action with actual violence . . . In fact, there was actual violence near the start of Episode 1 in Sabagebu when the pervert threw his brown briefcase at Miou, she dodged, and the briefcase hit the blue-suited salaryman standing behind her. Also, that yellow duck hit Momoka on the face and knocked her unconscious. |
Oshii said: they see me trollin'Reminded me of D-Frag, hugely over-exaggerating everything! I love trope lampshading and parodying, so I hope for more of that. T3hSource said: I missed the part where a gag comedy is more satisfying than actual action with actual violence. plz be trollin they hatin' patrolling and tryin' to speak dirty tryin' to speak dirty tryin' to speak dirty tryin' to speak dirty tryin' to speak dirty My 'pionion so "bad" they swayin' patrolling and speaking dirty tryin' to speak dirty (x3) tryin' to speak dirty OT: Enjoy your gag comedy guys. That doesn't make it any less of a cheap effortless production for me. |

| it reminded me of "Sucker Punch",liked the survival game consept more than i expected... |
 |
| Much better than what I was expecting. I love the main character and her personality, and the other cast is great. Narrator best character, this is one of my favorites of this season. This reminds me a lot of School Rumble S2 eps 3-4... |
| Was expecting this to be moe fluff, but it was surprisingly good. It was pretty damn hilarious and it's self aware to boot. Love the narration. And the ridiculousness of everything just serves to make it even cooler. Hope the rest of the series keeps this up! |

| The first half was boring but the 2nd half was hilarious!!! I love those wacky expressions and I literally lol when she was first tricked into signing the club application and then was drugged with the bread XD This is infinitely more entertaining than Stella Jogakuin and I love how the narrator mocked the audience. "Honestly a little bend in the plot and everyone starts shouting edgy" <-- this can be applied to all the hyped shows this season especially Aldnoah. I also think I've found my quote of the season: "SURVIVE THIS, BITCH!" |
 |
| That was fun!! I think i'll enjoy this more than i did c3-bu. Momoka's not reserved, and I really like her character. Will check this out next week :D |
| Most certainly really funny. I think what makes it for me is the narrator and his witty comments towards the viewers. |

| I really liked it! I thought is was very funny. |

| That was actually pretty good. I knew it would be special when they opened it telling the audience to turn off their TVs. I hope they can keep up the comedy. Very funny. |
  |
| Average episode,not very interesting. The only thing that worked out for me was narrator with his comments... Giving it one more episode. |
| Between the adult world and the world of kids, there, Holyland exists. |
| Rofl that gun fight. The narator was pretty funny and Panaru said: Dat Jill Valentine cosplay. Expected it to be some cute little show but damn I was wrong. |
| compared to C3 this is a masterpiece. |
| It is early to judge anime from 1st episode, but I don't see how this is better than Stella Jogakuin. I like the girls in stella much more. Not to mention Stella op song is much better. The comedy in Sabagebu! might be better, but it is not good anyway. I like to see this anime getting more serious and dramatic like later episodes that we saw from stella |

| Hah. Really liking the characters. And the narrator too. |
 |
E_1999 said: compared to C3 this is a masterpiece. This. C3 was terrible, this was actually really good. |
 |
| C3-bu feels, but thankfully this show doesn't take itself seriously. Still like the characters in C3 better though. Loli sniper was awesome. |
| The image above is pretty much what my thoughts as well. |
| That was fucking brilliant LateAnimeFan said: And this^ |
| oh god. i love bizarre self-aware comedies. i knew from that opening scene that this was gonna be a lot of fun. reminds me of joshiraku a lot (which is a very good thing) not in tone or content, just in its style of humor. anyways. this feels like its definitely going to be the comedy of the season, not really any other strong contenders as far as i've seen though. |
| Melon-pan trap.. Success!! xD I can't believe that sensei just let it slide Dat ossan.. so terminator-like He's the narrator!! xD Dat cosplay Jill Valentine xD Okay.. I'll believe the ossan, that just an imagination Well, at least now the Survival Game Club have a tsukkomi now xD Zer01 said: That was fucking brilliant LateAnimeFan said: And this^ Good image is good.. xD I thought it'll be just airsoft gun bullet and you can cheat it by lying, etc, etc... |
"Signature removed"   |
| Hmm, this is much better than what i thought :D Reminds me on C3 but I just hate all that drama in it. The narrator was hilarious. All the gunshots and blood effect was part of their imagination. LOL. I love it. |
| And, wow. That was fun. The actions were good, even if it was their imagination. xD Some pretty funny moments here and there. That narrator. I'll continue watching this. 5/5 |
"The one true, unchanging righteousness in the world is..cuteness! Cute makes right! All our needs, desires, and instincts seek cuteness, and it is for cuteness that we will give everything we have! That's just the way men are!" - Sora |
| Man, what a fun and satisfying first episode. The humor is great and that narrator is golden. What I love the most is how they take a jab at C3-bu fans for complaining that the show turned 'edgy'. Totally got me there. Hopefully they can keep this level of humor until the end. |
| Why do some people hate c3-bu, but love Sabagebu? I remember watching the first three epsiodes of C3-bu and then dropping because I lost interest and had too many anime on my watchlist back then. |

I remember watching the first three epsiodes of C3-bu and then dropping because I lost interest and had too many anime on my watchlist back then. Because it goes from cute girls cute guns to extremely terrible drama that makes you roll your eyes. |
| So many references & breaking the 4th wall. Pretty good funny 1st ep. |
 |
| Being a girl in highschool who has shot for years and just participated and placed in a world speed shooting championship, i have watched my handful of anime involving girls and guns. I can easily say it is very easy to somewhat relate to these girls in a sort of chuunibyou way, and this might be the best girl+gun anime i've seen yet because its slice of life. I cant wait to see more, and i hope it stays quality. might end up being one of my favorite anime at this rate. PLEASE STAY ENTERTAINING |
EL. PHY. CONGROO. |
| ^ this. It reminded me chuunibyou too, girls in highschool with insane imagination xD |
 |
| That was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the 4th wall humor and Momoka's spunk. |
| The first 2 minutes was amazing. Seems like a fun show :D |
| Didn't expect that it will be an entertaining show. I love those action scenes. |
 |
| Episode was okay. The whole gun girl thing is cool but the pacing and feel of the anime felt a tad slow and boring for me. Pretty good though |

| Ever since I watched Stella Women's Academy last year I started liking the concept of survival games. So far after watching this episode, Sabagebu is almost like it, but the former is much more humorous! xD |
 |
EphidelAMV said: So, blue haired girl dressed like Jill from Resident Evil xD I almost forgot about that part :D |
| Pretty fun first episode. I really like the concept. |
 |
| Oh god, getting hit with a BB gun hurts so bad AND SHE GOT SHOT IN THE NIPS. RIP BLUE HAIRED GIRL'S BOOBS. But on the serious note, the 1st episode was pretty good. Kind of got boring around the extreme bullying part. I think I'll continue this series because girls, guns, and boobs are such a great combo lol. |
| Trannosaurus said: . . . getting hit with a BB gun hurts so bad . . . Yes, apparently, it really hurts a lot if you get hit on bare skin at point-blank range. Note also that with airsoft guns, different guns have different speeds of the bullet. This is measured in feet per second. In many countries, the maximum speed of the bullet is limited to 328 feet per second (which is the same as 100 m/s). For those of you who know Physics, that is the same as 1.00 Joules of energy. Note that the mass of the airsoft bullet is 0.20 grams. Online, I can see airsoft guns for sale with bullet speeds of 1000 feet per second. There are many countries in which they are illegal. In Japan, the legal limit for the bullet speed is 328 feet per second (i.e. 1.00 Joules). HOWEVER, there is a greatly special reduced speed limit for the airsoft guns used by adolescents. Their guns are limited to 120 feet per second. In the scene in Episode 1 in the airsoft gun store, we saw that Momoka was only allowed to purchase a low-speed airsoft gun. However, Miou was allowed to use a more powerful one, since it was explained that Miou has special permission to carry it. For details, including information for every country, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_issues_in_airsoft Given a children's airsoft gun shooting at only 120 feet per second, we would definitely not see the severe blood-splattering injuries depicted in the imaginary gunfight in the basement of the gun store. |

| Much better than I expected. Also, @ T3Hsource, I think most of us didn't come here for real violence or action, and most people probably didn't go to black lagoon expecting slapstick laid back casual non realviolent comedy |
   |
| I had no idea what to expect out of this anime. So far, I find it enjoyable to watch and the teamfight game was pretty interesting to watch. I will stick to this one for a bit longer. |
