It certainly is, if you just look at the screen with your brain turned off. This is far better than anything this year has offered, aside Shouwa Rakugo, Re:Creators, LWA and KonoSuba.


It is mostly a CGDCT. Sure it's a lot more than just cute girls doing cute spying things. But in an ordinary spying anime I wouldn't normally care about the characters discuss amicably while drinking tea. The plot isn't deep either. We know that they are infiltrating, but the villain's motive remain obscure and the precursor of the revolution wasn't clearly explained (or maybe I missed that part).

What I like about this show is that it almost exclusively revolve around the main characters ordinary life as spies. It doesn't try to delve the story into some elaborated context. This is why the anime isn't presented in chronological order. It tells you that the story is there for the setting. It's a character driven story featuring cute teen girls. Notice how the characters backstories are mostly related to the character development only.

I'm not enjoying this anime for its story, but rather for the characters and for what they are doing. At the end of an episode I'm saying: Wow they were cute and badass, I'm impressed! And this is what a spying show is about. To impress the viewer.


I mostly agree. What I'd like to add is that depending whether it's a split-cour or a 1-cour anime, the story may become an important (and greatest) part of it. Seeing as it's an original anime, with a lot of attention given to the detail and world building, I can't imagine it stopping at character development and satisfying for a quick asspull ending, but it remains to be seen. I have high hopes for the series.

Cause a lot of people thinks that this anime is just about girls doing cute things. Oh boii they're missing something out.

It doesn't air chornologically, so most anime watchers come for the espionage and action, art and music. You'd have to have an attention span longer than a goldfish and a few rewatches to fully appreciate how good this show is. Since it has alot of forward callbacks. Most people also come for the Moe or CGDCT part I guess? But I think its a great show, way up on my top 5 imo.
I guess another reason it has poor ratings is due to the fact that episode 2, 3 and 4 weren't particlarly spectecular for first time watchers? In terms of expectations or plot for first timers, its not too direct. But hey, the ratings are rising.
Now to decide between Charlotte, Ange and Chise as my fav MC

I thought episode 1 was worse than episodes 2, 3 and 4.

despite being very dark, its still moe as fuck, therefore less viewership for people who want their badass anime to be manly

i had no idea what your stance was on moe, but i knew you didn't like hardcore fanservice, or maybe just not at all

i have NO interest in K-ON.. i've seen ep 1 twice and was like "eh" both times
