![]() ![]() But the girls in their swimsuits really did look pretty. There’s a lot of fan-service or ecchi artwork, which annoyed me just a bit with how blatant it was. Despite some originality in style and some decent action sequences, the art just seemed average to me. ![]() Suddenly it’s back to normal in episode 8, and it stays pretty bad all through after that, taking a nosedive in episode 10. For some strange reason, the art looks a lot better in episode 7 compared to all other episodes. (That’s how it seemed to me, anyway, an amateur.) There are more and more still-shots as the series goes on, which I guess is typical of anime, but not as much in action anime. Everything looks designed with CGI tools without any hand-done sketches or linework. And there’s too much noticeable CGI mixed in with the 2D. However, the fight scenes were sometimes ruined by the highly irritating and unnecessary interruption of “Mahou Shoujo Trivia!” In addition, they were often cut too short.īy about 3 episodes in, I started to notice that the detailed character designs and art stylization is attempting to hide the cheapness of the animation. Eye-catching scenes of CQC, gun battles, and magic appear in episodes 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, and 11. These are not top quality by any means, but still enjoyable.

For crowds, there isn’t any noticeable CGI, but all cars and vehicles are CGI and look lame. And besides, the character designs were all very detailed. It’s still a style I like because the girls look bigger and healthier than the typically skinny mahou shoujo teens. But hey, that’s anime, where eyes are the the size of ash-trays. The art-style is absurd, with girls having giant udders breasts, each one as big as the girl’s entire head. I consider the series just above average, or “fair.” In this review, I’ll examine art, sound, characters, story and contents, and personal enjoyment. There were some other things I liked, too. ![]() That was the diamond in the dumpster fire. For one thing, it had one great redeeming feature, the psychological look into PTSD. As a critic, I can’t say this was a good anime, but I don’t hate it. Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka is a winter 2019 anime made by LIDENFLIMS studio. ![]()
