If you're a Blue Archive fan, you're going to love how cute and funny this animated-short is.

NOTE : This review is really just my personal opinion and also biased as I'm also the fan of the game.
It's very close to being the perfect Blue Archive adaptation I always wanted.
I personally liked this way more than the 1.5 years anniversary.

The main story for this animated-short centered around Momoi, a Game Development Department Club Member,
whose responsible for writing scenario for their games.
The plot begins with Momoi getting pressured by everyone in her club for their upcoming deadline, so she ran away.
To be honest here, You don't need ... to care about the plot, this felt like a short wholesome story for a fan-service.

You literally didn't even need to know any of the characters in these short, yet you could tell what they're like in the game, the character design in Blue Archive have always been very good and the Art style just also perfected its nature and makes it very lively.

The comedy and humor they're going for here is very game and in-lore accurate, Very meme-able.

The Art-style here looks simple, goofy yet that is what I always wanted,
Doesn't need to look AAA, Ufotable's standard with 100K VFX all around with a spinning camera.
Just makes it appealing and interesting to watch.

The Soundtracks are one of the first things people think of when talking about Blue Archive,
It's still God-Tier, also the new Ending Theme they've used for this are also very good and have its own charm.
(It also being used for Volume 2, Chapter 2 Ending for the game's main story)

To me personally, their main story in the game (Volume 2) is one of my favorites.
There's something about a group of friends tries to make something and do whatever they like type of story,
Their friendship in the main story is also really beautiful too. One of the most wholesome story in Blue Archive ever.

My only problem I had with this was, some of the Scenes transition are a bit weird,
maybe it's storyboard issues or whatever. And that's it.

Also, one more thing, since the TV series adaptation was already announced,
I really wish we're getting a full Main Story adaptation with Sensei in it.
The main story of Blue Archive is unironically very good, really inspiring, and I'm really hyped for it.

TLDR; If you're a Blue Archive fans, it's 7+ but else, it's really depends if you're into Moe/Slice of life since it's just an animated-short of a gacha game.

Thanks for Reading!

This is going to be the best isekai in this year, I have ever watched. After I have seen the final episode of this anime, It was.. VERY IMPRESSIVE. So this is a second time I have ever review anime, I hope you guys will get anything from anything I had written here so first of all;

Story: (6/10) It's just an unoriginal isekai with a goddess who just summon a Hero from our or ANOTHER world to help ANOTHER(of ANOTHER) world. Konosuba was made it before, An Isekai, comedy, Sitcom But now instead of Kazuma, we have Seiya. A Cautious Hero... Very Cautious Hero. Summoned ... by useless goddess named Aq- ahem! Rista who is just a goddess of support, She can heal and just that. They were going to save ANOTHER WORLD from "4 demon lord". What a classic MMORPG game! (ahem! Anime). but that just a big plot for this anime. but what is in between is.... A F*CKING SITCOM COMEDY. If you were going to watch this show for a SUPER SERIOUS ACTION FANTASY SHOW like "The Raising Of The Sheild Hero" then I were going to be disappointed because you can guess from the title "The Hero Is "OVERPOWERED"". Yes from the title the MC was actually OP but not that much from the middle point (I am not going to spoiled). Summery this is an unoriginal but actually very great at try to be an original Isekai, Comedy, Sitcom show like Konosuba but It's actually great as you're worth watching it.

Art&Animation: (7/10) The art is ok and the animation's overall doesn't look bad and the CGI....at least this show have less CGI than arifureta in the last season but the CGI in this anime is not pretty bad it's just...uhhh....that but it's doesn't appear quickly in this show I think the first CGI (except for Rista figure in the first episode) I ever seen in this show is in middle to final phase of this anime. But you know a comedy show still has it's own unique way to an art style (Unique because I didn't watch that much comedy anime so I didn't is this unique but it just unique for me) especially for Rista. This show had a few bunch of jokes, so what will they(White fox) going to do with that. Do a funny face on Rista; she will do a lots of face reaction in this series and it's always funny to see the art stylev change while she doing a reaction faces because thats the funniest thing.

Sound: (8/10) The Opening Theme "TIT FOR TAT" by MYTH & ROID, the sound of the Isekai anime. so honestly the op is very amazing and the best thing in this op is, It has 2 version of it; The first one is have more still frame than the second one and The Second One, you will have a goddess dance in the middle of the OP and it's F*CKING GORGEOUS! and now it's time for The Ending;
The Ending Theme "be perfect, plz!" by Riko Azuna is ok... pretty ok, because in the ED we'll have CGI Rista dances for 1:29 seconds but it's ok to understand because the Rista that dances in ED is a figures that Rista give to Seiya and if you see carefully, You will see the background is usually looks like a Figure's Plate on a table like in the anime and the end of ED.
The Soundtracks, uhh pretty ok not that much expect but pretty ok.
Sound effects, if you compared to Fire force in some episode that changes the hit sound effects into earape farts meme sound effects sh*t.
This anime has a great sound effects.
The Voice actings, especially for Rista's VA("Toyosaki, Aki") this is have a lot's of fun on listening anime charactor speaking to each other with this quality and it's remind me Konosuba for an Aqua Voice acting too. It's funny to listening tho.

Charactors: (8/10) The anime has it's own unique charactor design and development as well.
Seiya at the started, he's very Cautious but from that from the middle point, he's personality changes a little bit as I see. Ok let;s talk about his ability; He is very OP. yes he is from the beginning very OP because he is just training and training and keep training but it's has a back story a very dark back story, what he actually faces before Rista (I won't spoiled more than that, Go watched it by yourself!!!!)
Rista... she is just a comedian that waiting Seiya to makes a funny jokes then she will makes a meme reaction faces and the rest of the seies as well as episode 10-12, her development begins to shine.
Two additional charactor; Eruru and Mash, they have a development too but it's ok to see their development by training and training and... not using thier ailities in the fight because Seiya can just handle by him self tho. so not much to see but I love how I was expect to see their ability when they were training but was destroy by the MC but still exciting to see.

Enjoyment: (9/10) Summery, this is an unoriginal but actually very great at try to be an original Isekai, Comedy, Sitcom show like Konosuba but It's actually great as you're worth watching it. I would like to watched Isekai anime but not all I like such as Isekai cheat magician-
"Isekai cheat magician made me wants to sleep. This is the feel of you are on your bed" - NZ 2019
But this is a comdey isekai show, If it's boring it couldn't be this enjoyable. So remember my words-*

Overall: (8/10) *"If you have a free time, go and watch it, It's worth to watch" thats it. Thank you for reading my review.

**This is edited version (4/12/20): I turn score down a bit (Story 8 > 6 | Overall 9 > 8) [The raw score is 7.6]
