Sabagebu! -Survival Game Club!-
さばげぶっ!Draw your weapons and take aim, because Sabagebu! is coming at you! Momoka Sonokawa was just minding her own business on the train one day when she encountered a pervert. Before she could do anything about it, a girl named Miou appears, brandishing two pistols and and scaring him off, only to be arrested herself a few minutes later for possessing firearms. Later Momoka sees this same girl at her school and follows her to a run down building. It turns out Miou is the president of the school's Survival Game Club, and it doesn't take long for Miou to capture Momoka and force her into joining them. Over the course of the series, Momoka and her new “friends” will take part in multiple battles against enemies from other schools, a rival from the same school who wants to see the club shut down and even each other (on multiple occasions). With friends and classmates like these, will Momoka even make it to graduation?

Crabs flying a helicopter.
Old ladies driving tractors while shooting mounted machine guns.
Need I say more?

This anime is about cute girls not doing cute things and it is hilarious!
Story- The story of Sabagebu was simplistic and didn't really have any progression past the first couple of episodes. The progression doesn't take away from the show what so ever having girls just do stupid gun battles and what not is the best thing i think i have seen. The best part is that they are just using BB guns for there battles but there imaginations make it look like a actual scene from terminator. The ending did come back to the statement that President said at the start of the show which was nice but the best would have to be the crab riding the helicopter and the platypus shooting a machine gun. What more do you need.
Characters- With characters we don't really get any backstories or any information about them except there personalities which is fine regarding this show is episodic and doesn't need progression to do what it sets out to do. Sabagebu doesn't just have the typical female tropes and MC stuff like other anime these girls literally give no shits about one another and will throw each other under a bus just to get what they want and it totally works for the comedy it presents. Side characters were also really funny and brought some variety to different characters. Lemon(fat gaming nerd) brings out the worst in Momoka and she gives no fucks. She literally killed good and evil! The student council president even brings out some fun comedy for the president of the survival games club because in my opinion she was lacking the most. The mother is crazy motherfucker and it is nice to see a parent in anime actually have a purpose. Urara was the punching bag for a lot of comedy and was the brought out the best comedy in the show. Maya had funny boob jokes and Kayo was a weird Otaku girl which was funny at times. The narrator was even a character is was funny to see him as a guy from G.I. JOE. Kamo the platypus had a episode just to himself and he owned ass... it was golden!
Animation- The show looked good it wasn't the best and it wasn't really detailed but the colors did set the tone of cute girls not doing cute things. it was fluid in what it was presenting even when you see characters in slow motion flipping in the air it looks nice.
Sound- Sound is probably the weakest of everything the OP was great but just the music in the show wasn't memorable.
Overall i do think the comedy is one of the best i have seen and i couldn't stop laughing at some scenes. it is a must watch if you are looking for comedy. The characters do a good job at not be stereotypical people and you don't know what will come next with them. I cant stress enough how this show has some of the best comedy i have seen.

You know that one show a few months back that was also about airsoft, Stella C3-bu? Yeah, this one blows it out of the water.
Where C3-bu! faltered in its second half was by trying to be all serious about its "oh-no-victory-means-nothing-if-you-have-nobody-to-share-it-with" stick. Sabagebu! has none of its predecessor's issues. Its main protagonist, Momoka, instead revels in being a merciless trigger-girl and proceeds to (quite literally) shoot most of her new friends in the face without hesitation. Nothing is meant to be taken seriously, and that's great. It's hilarious. Throw in a narrator who comments on anything and everything and a truckload of references to Japanese and Western media, and you have a mixing pot for pure, unadulterated, unrelenting joy.
If you hate fun, though, stay away from this anime. This ain't no Madoka Magica.

This is for people wondering if they should give this show a shot. I'm aware the show has barely started. There are self aware jokes and the gun play is fun. The show doesn't take itself too seriously but yet it isn't cracking jokes every 5 seconds. I am intrigued.
