Review:
Upotte’s story revolves around the girls of Seishou Academy who originally are guns that takes human form. The protagonists are middle school students and assault rifles; a small-caliber, full-auto capable gun type: Funco (FNC), Ichiroku (M16A4), Eru (L85A1) and Sig (SG550). It is later revealed that Elementary students are SMGs or Sub-machine guns and High School students are sniping-capable rifles.
While this series falls under the “School-life” genre, Upotte has a bit of comedy and the most important part of the show is the educational trivia about guns. In my opinion as the author of this review, this anime is very interesting to watch not because of the moe girls and possible fanservice. It’s because I have a bit of knowledge with guns and perhaps a slight interest in third-person shooter military games.
FYI, my gun of choice is the Kalashnikov AK-47 and the M4A1 Carbine. XD
And for some reason, the art style used in Upotte reminds me of Eroge! H to Game Kaihatsu Zanmai. Or it's just me?
And lastly, gun-otaku or not, if you have played a bit of those TPS military games like Counter Strike or Call of Duty series, I’m sure you’ll also find Upotte a show worth watching.
