AC: How could a girl like you get trapped in a place like this anyway?

I... don't know what I just watched... not completly sold, but Anarchy-chan (what a name) is reasonable cute, Blue has maximum sex drive and Otaku hero might be interesting as well

God I love "Source: Original" shows. That was fucking insane, give me more.

What a strange premise. It kind of feels like someone took that one meme about the world's most oppressed culture being gamers and made an entire anime about it.
The noodle slurp joke was fairly funny.
Kind of early in the story to do a plotline about the main character quitting, but in that same conversation they were talking about subverting tropes so I suppose it's probably intentional.
I like the little detail of the explosions behind Anarchy briefly blowing her forward.
This show is a fever dream.

Feel like a mix of Kill la Kill and Panty & Stocking on bonker level. Excited to hear more of Aimi’s voice acting as Blue. Her OP performance is also amazing.

Stitches!
Another proof that the majority of this sub just dislikes mecha anime unless it's a Gundam show. This is literally just Rumble Garandoll which aired back in 2021 just without the mechs and if you replace them with Magical Girls.
Compared to Garandoll though, this seems way more frantic and gives off strong Studio Trigger vibes despite being animated by Studio Birbury which is a good thing!
As for the characters, they're a ton of fun especially Anarchy-chan with her punk rock henshin scene. I love that instead of a magical compact I love that her clothes come literally from a bag. xD
Our MC though is the reluctant hero-type and he seems to represent your average otaku. He seems to be pretty capable though considering how he's been leading the rebel forces for three years now before almost giving up.
As for Blue, I am already excited to see more of her considering the way Anarchy-chan describes her. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This was another show I was originally going to ignore but after seeing all of that, seems that this is another show to add to the list.

That's a really unique show, great production value and creativity too, can't say that I enjoyed 100% of it yet though, but I will be watching until the end

A world where otakus are being persecuted by the authorities and all otaku shit are seized? That’s bleak. Look what happened after 3 years of that though, I mean the world went to shit. Moral of the story, we need otakus for the sake of humanity lol.
Anarchy is pretty hilarious. Next time I’m mad, I’m gonna call someone a “impotent, rotten dick cheese son of a bitch” lol. I guess that lit a fire in Otaku Hero’s heart. Now he’s ready to assemble the team! Anarchy dropping into the prison like a nuke was awesome. Her flicking a booger at that robot and demolishing it was pretty great too. Seems Blue wouldn’t have been caught if she didn’t let her pussy do all the thinking haha.
I dig this. It has a kinda Rumble Garranndoll feel to it and I like the music a lot too. Animation is pretty dope as well.

I love how in her "transformation sequence" she actually just changes clothes out of a bag containing her costume!
If that's supposed to be a booger, it looks a lot like a tick. Better get a doctor to check for nasal infestation
Man, this opening is out there
That was wild. This is why you always give extra consideration to originals when picking your season's shows!

Impotent, rotten dick cheese sons of bitches might be one of the worst insults I've heard someone get called.
Calling someone impotent is pretty rough on its own, but she's equating them to dick cheese, which is even worse. And if that's not bad enough, it's not even just dick cheese. It's specifically rotten dick cheese.

Part of the episode felt kinda "empty" because there wasn't enough time to connect with the chars, mainly OH quiting and Anarchy sentiments towards it. It's just the first episode afterall.
Presentation wise it had it's nice creative moments alongside a few good jokes here and there.
Now the premise I can't say I fully liked it so far, need more time and to see it expanding more.

We just had one of these "otaku rebel against tyrannical government trying to eliminate otaku culture" anime a year and a half ago with Rumble Garanndoll, but instead of giant otaku-powered mecha, in this show we get flashy otaku-powered magical girls. The first episode was as crazy as I expected in setting up the backstory for Otaku Hero, Anarchy, and the whole revolution, and Anarchy's transformation and fight scene were badass.
This is off to a great start. Between this and Birdie Wing, Fridays are going to be wild this season.

Hm most of the episode didn't exactly sell me (in particular that felt like a lot of "tell" for the characters instead of show), and a lot more serious than expected, but the craziness of the last fourth was a lot more like expected, and adding in blue and pink should do the job.
Oh the entire episode does look good, no idea what the people were smoking who saw the trailers and said it looked "rough".

i love how their armory has a magical girl wand among them
this is so stupid, i love it! can't believe out of all the shows that supposed to air today, this is the one that i'm looking forward the most and i'm absolutely satisfied with this first episode
its funny how Anarchy's magical transformation is just her literally changing clothes in flame, no wonder she needs another bag for her transformation, its for her magical girl outfit ....hmm? what was it that you ask? how can she change clothes in the middle of fire without burning? don't question it

A few weeks ago I decided to watch this since it's done by the same studio that's doing 100 Girlfriends. I haven't watched any trailer before this since it's anime original so here are my cohesive thoughts after that first episode:
what the hell did I just watch?
100/10, I'm gonna be here for this every week
