I think the problem with most reviews is in that they are all subjective. While in general, shows that primarily have one main genre, it doesn't help shows trying out different mixtures of genres. And this is what Rolling☆Girls tries to do. While it claims to be action and adventure, it is also a slice of life. This is where the problems start.

Slice of life is not for everyone, and usually works better with drama/non-action genres. But for those that love slice of life, this is an anime that is able to do combine action and adventure with slice of life. And what is ... key about this slice of life is that in being both action and adventure, they can have both flashy scenes and many diverse characters along with the different and interesting stories the "normal" girls get to see as they travel.

This would have had "higher" reviews had the focus been on the overarching plot itself. However, the novelty of this was to see this story from the point of view of the "normal side characters".

It might feel like the side characters stand out more than the main characters, but that is the point. These girls are classified as "normal" girls, and the anime does very well at making that clear. However, despite being normal throughout the anime, you'll find that without the ending would not have been the same.

Think of it as NPC's trying to have an impact on the story.
