Smile of the Arsnotoria the Animation
咲う アルスノトリア すんっ!
In the magical academic city of Ashram, girls known as Pentagrams study general education, magic, and etiquette to become proper ladies. Hidden from the rest of the world, the school is like a secret garden that is home to blossoming flowers. However, bugs sensitive to magic may target and trample them; as one of their tasks, the girls must exterminate these insects. The smileless Pentagram Arsnotoria lives in the fifth dorm house alongside her adored roommates: the cheerful Mell, the self-paced Little Alberta, the confident Picatrix, and the cool Abramelin. No matter what time of day, they hang out together as much as possible, and even throw tea parties in their secret room after completing their duties. The girls live in peace as they work toward their goal—but there may be more to Ashram and the Pentagrams beyond the calm life they have come to cherish. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Arsnotoria is one of the biggest teases I’ve seen in recent memory. For 12 weeks, we were bombarded with flashing red “warning” sequences hinting at some bigger, darker aspect of the story that just never came to fruition. While I did genuinely enjoy girls doing cute things, going on adventures and just interacting with each other, I struggle to understand the point in foreshadowing a more serious story every episode for 30 seconds and then never connecting it to the main story and characters. It seemed like a massive missed opportunity. In terms of what we did get in the story, Arsnotoria was a great wayto cap off a really crazy Wednesday morning of seasonals. The girls were lovely and their adventures every week had me dying. It’s a very simple plot, but a rewarding one. I enjoyed getting to know all of the girls and their various personalities and quirks. It really did feel like we were right there with them. When the show was announced and I saw designs from Ootsuka sensei, I had extremely high hopes for this series and while the story may not have lived up to that, I loved the work he did on the art. As you’d expect from his designs, the girls are colourful and have some really unique designs. Certainly a pleasure to look at weekly. There’s really not much else to say about this show. Cute girls, cute designs, subpar plot that clearly is trying to push you to go play the gacha game to get the real story, etc. I did really enjoy watching it and I will miss this world, but the main antagonists of the universe could have been introduced properly which would have added a lot more to this story. Arsnotoria gets 7 magical cats, out of 10.

Sniff, sniff. What's that I smell? Mediocrity? Boringness? From a mobage adaptation that only exists to sell its IP in Japan and not the West? Hmm, smells about right of a rotten egg. The motive of mobage adaptations is to sell its narrative to fans, but this poses a big problem. 99% of the time, the mobages are region-locked so people elsewhere will not get to enjoy what it has to offer, but often at times this is counter-intuitive that the adverse effect is stronger than all the marketing effort has to offer. And in this season, the only mobage adaptation this season that's in theform of Nitroplus and Good Smile Company's Warau Arsnotoria is at best, a sleeper-fest. Right from the get-go, only one thing will strike similar to just about any anime fan, and you need not look far than the characters themselves, designed by the one and only Shinichiro Ootsuka, the original character designer and illustrator of one of the most celebrated source materials of all time: Re:Zero. The closest to this will be in the form of 1 of the main 5 girls, which are called Pentagrams in the Little Witch Academia-like premise in the magical academic city of Ashram, with Mell being pretty much a carbon copy of Petra, even down to the plus-shaped eye corneas. In the interest of time, this is just your standard stereotypical CGDCT, Slice-of-Life fare about girls living out their school lives imbued in magic and fun, one that shows a lot of the light-hearted side of the mobage and shows only a sliver of the dark segments. However, this is exactly the modus operandi of how mobage adaptations work, and honestly, I'm glad that we aren't seeing much "The Animation" shows due to the fact that it isn't worth marketing to the rest of the world which will indefinitely not make any profit for the original creators at all. It just isn't a viable work from a business standpoint, and this is the reality pertaining to the miniscule popularity of the established IP that must be greenlit to think of more avenues to draw in audience which would bring about sales. Sorry, ain't gonna happen with this one. I really wanted to love the Pentagram group of girls with the sniffing Arsnotoria "Tori" having the signature cowlick, the playful "Little Al"-berta, "Pica"trix and Mell, along with the mature feeling "Abra"melin. But the antics, as well as the plot dragging towards the final stretch is the straw that broke the camel's back for me, though you may feel the same or otherwise. The only thing that's worth that love is the very happy-go-lucky sounding OP (which involves the 5 girls), which is a pleasant surprise and a really good one at that. The same unfortunately isn't true for the ED, which is actually BAND-MAID's guitarist/vocalist Miku Kobato and her Cluppo solo project providing very rich sounding vocals, that try as it might to please it only serves as like fluttering feathers in the sky. At the end of the day, it is what it is: a mobage adaptation, and it's an instant turn-off unless you're just barely acquainted with the source game to know what to expect. Just pass it up, this show ain't worth your time, only when it deserves your nap time to sleep in absolute comfort.

Imagine that one episode of Lucky Star where they talk about chocolate coronets, but instead stretched out to 18 minutes with a sudden swerve into hyper-violence starring completely different characters in a completely different artstyle, and you have Warau Arsnotoria Sun! Perhaps the ultimate example of Cute Girls Doing Nothing in the Reiwa era. For me personally, I love the super comfy vibes the show brings every week. And very helpfully and hilariously, the arrival of the Knights is always preceded by a big "Warning" label so you can totally skip them if all you want to see is Kuno Misaki making strange noises. And bysheer luck I am also a fan of the latter, and moreso than any other show this season, there is a lot of Kuno Misaki making strange nosies. It's absolutely adorable. I know it adds absolutely nothing to the story or characters, but I am not watching this show for thoughtful character development or a great plot, I watch this show to relax and listen to Kuno Misaki. At the end of the day, this show is still a mobage ad, but as far as ads go it's a pretty bad one since I have zero intention of even picking up the mobage if the girls are gonna be fighting the knights. The anime focusing entirely, and I mean, entirely on the Cute Girls Do Nothing aspect is certainly bold at least. While the out-of-place hyperviolence has no place in this show, it does get one final hilarious payoff at the very end, and upon realizing what happened, I broke and just started laughing like a maniac. LIDENFILMS pulled a fast one under us and I was kicking myself for not realizing it earler. Warau Arsnotoria Sun is tough to recommend, as even by CGDCT standards it is lacking in humor and character. But if you just wanna relax or put something in the background, or even listen to Kuno Misaki's soundbank, this anime will be a treat. 7/10

If you expect to watch other than to see the daily behavior of these cute, innocent & beautiful girls. I suggest you forget your intention. I was surprised when I saw the score on MAL, because I think this anime is good enough for casual viewing while watching the cute behavior of innocent girls. But when I watched it again I just remembered about the side story in it. Because I was curious I tried to find out. It turns out that this anime was made to promote the game and in short the side story was just bait to get the audience interested. I suggestyou ignore the side story. Although it is quite annoying because there is no certainty of the relationship between the side story and the main story, but I quite enjoyed this show. So if your expectations are not in accordance with paragraph 1. It's better to stop there.

I recommend this if you enjoy "slice of life". Wish the genre is fixed for this show, it's not marketing to the right audience, and I would've never run into this, if it weren't for me trying out new stuff. Most people dislike this because of it's a remake of a game, and maybe have some types of expectation, but from someone just watching an "unknown show" perspective, this is comparable to most "slice of life" type of story telling, it's not grand, but it's not that awful either, I watched it as a story of magical school stuff in a "slice of life" genre mindset.It's enjoyable, lighthearted, and nice visual. If they just left out the none related part, this show would've got better rating from me. It made it very awkward.
