Even though Yura
Yamato has enrolled in the prestigious Stella Girl's school she is still
insecure and unable to make new friends. She also finds that her not
appearing in the first episode
roommate is some sort of gun fanatic. She is approached by the school's
survival game (airsoft gun) group and like almost all anime school
clubs pressured into joining so the
group could maintain a quorum of members. After some initial
apprehension Yura finds that not only does she have some interest in
survival games but that her roommate is Sonora, the president of the
survival game club.

c3bu
is a relatively short anime show about a girl who learns what it means
to love a hobby. While it may look like a small arms version of last
year's Girls un Panzer this is show is quite different. The comparison
is not entirely false however as this show does manage to do action
scenes quite well. While I don't want to spoil anything c3bu does take a
much darker turn about halfway through the show.

I
consider this a rather mixed show. On one hand I consider the main
character to be one of the
more complex female leads I have seen in a while (see
my article survival games and moral choices choice for a more complete rundown
of her character). On the other hand the rest of the cast feels like two
dimensional foils for Yura. The show's tone does seem to be all over
the map, there are several elements (such as the supernatural elements
which are introduced in episode four and then disappear until the end of
the show) does make this show feel poorly focused in some aspects.

Overall I consider c3bu to be a rather interesting character study even if it does have it's flaws.
Rating The bronze Charlotte (Madoka Magica) for not being the cute girl show you thought it would be
