Review Super Sonico the Animation


At least this show tries the music


Sonico is a girl with a very busy life. Not only is she a college student but she also has a job as a model. She also helps her grandmother out with her restaurant. However her biggest passion is rock music and she is in a band called First Astronomical Velocity with two other girls. How she manages to do this and take care of five cats is anybody’s guess.

What do you want for Christmas little boy?
Super Sonico is a slice of life show about the Nitroplus mascot character, Super Sonico.  As the previous sentence says the show follows whatever Sonico happens to be doing that episode whether it be the school festival or being chased by weight loss zombies. Unlike most slice of life shows there is a main character as opposed to a set of four or five girls, even if there are other reoccurring characters. 

The best character in the show, however
Super Sonico is a bit of a failure as it comes to being a slice of life show. It doesn’t have enough comedy to be worthwhile as a show and I found it usually unable to attain the soothing mood that is a main draw for this genre. To the show’s credit Sonico’s music career is well used as there are several songs in the show and even a new song for every episode’s ending. 

however it isn't a show without a robot loli with an eyepatch
Overall I found Super Sonico to be a disappointment as a show and one that I suggest skipping in favor of other slice of life shows. 

Rating The Tin Hokago Tea Cup (K On) For being a lackluster musical slice of life show.
