Zannen Onna Kanbu Black General-san

**I try to keep my reviews spoiler free** The episodes of this series are far too short to do the subject matter much justice. Even though there isn't much to go on, they really feel rushed. I really enjoyed the manga of this series and I hope that they do it justice by giving it a full adaptation at some point. But as for this iteration... Story- 7/10 There really isn't enough time to absorb anything that's happening, but at least you get the premise of the gags as they are presented. And that's the most important part of a comedy. Art- 6/10 These are animated scenes straight from themanga. There is hardly any "animation" to them. But in the short time frame in which they're thrown at you, they tell the story and you get a colorful expression of the story as you go. Sound- 7/10 The voice acting is pretty good for these shorts. They also came up with a catchy little intro song for our anti-heroine, General-san. Character- 6/10 There just isn't enough time with any of these episodes to develop any of the characters. You get an understanding of the dynamic between the General and Braveman, and that's enough for the jokes to come off. Enjoyment- 8/10 The most important part, IMO is enjoyment. The jokes come off well, if you don't blink. If you speak/read Japanese I'm sure you get a better experience from this over all, but these are entertaining. Overall- 6/10 Just skip these and read the manga. If you blink while trying to watch these you'll miss some detail, or you'll have to pause to catch notes about something important. They don't really do anything to enhance the source material. So do yourself a favor with this one until there's a full anime adaptation, and read it.
