Review Sabagebu!

Cute girls shooting cute animals

At first glance Momoka was just another high school girl going to an all girls school. One day she caught the notice of the ultra popular girl Miou who just so happened to be the president of a club in need of members. After some hi jinks and pressuring Momoka agreed to join Miou's survival game club which is all about simulated military combat. As it turns out Momoka is well suited for this club.

Nico Nico douga has invaded this show

Looking at it Sabagebu might look like another onet of those cute girls doing cute things sort of slice of life show. However looks can be deceiving as this show is all about comedy and the plot is entirely subservient to trying to make the viewer laugh. Most often an episode is sliced up into three segments which are just long enough for a complex gag and little else.
Miou does it gangster style

As for the quality of the humor I found the show to work mostly off of a slightly dark form of humor that largely comes from the main character. Perhaps the biggest twist to the show is Momoka and the fact that she is one the most self and twisted main characters in anime, especially for a show that is a set of cute with the activity du jour. However even if a certain segment doesn't work just like the girls in the show it dusts itself off and has another go.
so much for Urara @notyourshield

Overall Sabagebu doesn't try to do anything more that try to make the viewer laugh but sometimes that is all that it takes

Rating the bronze notebook (Death Note) for a nice show that stars a deliciously twisted main character.
