Comedy is probably - no, it IS the most subjective genre in any kind of artistic entertainment. Writing a review for this kind of anime for isn't an easy task, as it can easily contain many personal opinions from the writer. As such, this review will mainly focus in the parts that don't need to be of the likes of the viewer in order to be rated positively or negatively.
While the main story ain't something bad, the main problem is that it ain't something new at all. We have our main funny-stupid highschool girl, a serious-antifun girl and a ... ninja. That said, being a
...
random comedy, it follows the everyday life of the girls and the random things that happens to them while in the school and outside of it. It's very easy to notice that many other anime have done this before, let's take Nichijou and Minami-ke for example.
In this we can also put the character aspects, since they're almost the same for this kind of anime, having the same development but with differents designs and names. (Design's ain't that different, though)
However as I said at the start, this does not make an anime bad, but plots like this being repeated all over again can be kinda annoying and generic.
The art also differs a bit from other animes, being very simple and moe-like, though not bad at all. It reflects the random, childish and un-serious nature of the series. The animation is consistent, with some unrealistic moves at times, but nothing to be afraid of looking at.
In the sound department, it is actually good. While most of the scenes are run by only character's voices, short music pieces are put inbetween comedic scenes giving it a child-like ambient. The sound effects are also nice overall, and add to the easy-taking ambient of this anime.
As I said at the start of this review, being a comedy, the Enjoyment part is something that will vary a lot from one to another. Jokes and entertainment ain't something everybody shares, and as such, giving it a rate is merely subjective. For me, I gave it a 9 as of episode 2, as it made me laugh way more than the first episode.
Kill me Baby is far from being a bad anime, but it isn't something new nor something really good to be noteworthy of. Don't expect anything serious, as it is very childish and easy-digesting. If you like random comedies, you can give it a try, but shows like Nichijou have done this already, and in a better way.
