Story: Three girls (and sometimes four) hang out in a manga club and do all kinds of stuff there... except do actual manga. Similar premise to Mangirl! but the execution is...

Pros: Voicework is passable, I don't mind it. The ending theme is awesome though, as its vibrant, catchy, and it kinds of fits with the show (also like the 8 bit graphics they use in there as well). Animation is... eh, I don't hate it but its jarring to look at sometimes. The humor however is hilariously terrible, the jokes were lame but I found it to be quite amusing with what they did and the randomness is... rather astounding to me.

Cons: The artwork looks terrible, the designs are crappy and stupid and the facial expressions are just too silly to look at :S

The characters are all terrible. They remind me of a watered down version of TheRunawayGuys:

Ai is like Jon, serious and a voice of reason, but unlike Jon Ai is more annoying than funny and rarely seems to do her job as the serious one at all and seems rather selfish at times. Also she's the most boring and unoriginal tsundere type character ever and nothing about stands out or is original. Mi is supposed to be like Emile, the energetic, hyperactive goofball, however Mai comes off as annoying, cares about no one but herself, is egotistical, selfish, and is just plain stupid! Why would anyone care for someone like you Mi? But the worst character of all has got to be Mai. I guess she's like Tim in a way since they both are 'the nicest' of the group and say and do stupid things while the others orders and we're supposed to find it cute that they can unintentionally be jerks. However the difference here is that the jerk part is so distracting and she doesn't get any commeupance for it, she doesn't even care about her friends well being or act like it, she never has an act of kindness in this show at all. Her voice is annoying, she's a hypocrite, and is like Mi and Ai multipled by seven.

The only decent character is Poko, who's only memorable cause her weirdness is basically her entire personality (and what's up with using that pot all the time? Makes no sense).

The ending is also a big cop out and tries to pull out a lame heart felt moment but completely misses the point (also what's up with the intro? O.o)

Overall: I do find it mostly amusing with all the randomness and stupidity that they were trying to do, I think they were trying to make it bad on purpose and they succeeded in that. I personally find it to be a guilty pleasure, a good anime this is most certainly not, but if you want to laugh with your friends over bad anime (ya know, MST3K it) then this is not a bad one to check out.

Thanks for reading my 13th review~
