Hacka Doll The Animation

Hacka Dolls are AI that scan a person in order to tailor news recommendations and information to their users. These widespread, personalized robots have served many citizens, from government officials to professional sports players.

A severe drop in quality leads to the production of three substandard Hacka Dolls. Due to their personality defects, they are sent to Earth, tasked with advancing humanity in whatever way they can. Whether it be encouraging a fujoshi to sell a doujinshi at Comiket or performing in an idol group, the three dolls will complete any task as long as it abides by their moral compass. Despite their shortcomings, they take their mission very seriously and always try their best to assist everyone with incredible enthusiasm.

This is first of all an 'otaku anime' and it plays by no "rules", thus the anime has the freedom to do act out as it wishes to to do and making this a great anime. One of the core foundation is parody of other anime such Evangelion, Dragon Ball, Lupin, Magical Girl etc - but also touches subject as being an Idol fan & Comiket. There are a lot of reference to other anime, and some will fly over your head- but to me, i didn't mind at all.

The short summary is - hacka doll - is a real Japanese app, where all your ... otaku interests gather in on place. The hacka doll's in the anime are highly advance AI to "advance" someone when in need, as example - working in the anime industry to delivery ep 3 before deadline or helping a Idol fan giving him a present to the Idol.

Every episode is only 7 min, and I wish this was full length - but this is could just also be one of it's strong side, keeping the pace of flow rapid and interesting. I never found myself to be bored.

The three main characters are cute and has their own charm and personality, my favorite was nr#3 which is a "he", yet the show always implies him to be a girl/(loli) in dressing him in females clothes, other than that he 's an lazy otaku. Nr# 1 is happy go lucky girl which messes everything up to the worse and the #2 is the ara ara girl...

The OP & ED is awesome!

Underrated anime!

Mixed Feelings

HackaDoll is a fun little show of 5 minute episodes (7min incl OP and ED) that you can watch in an hour.

The quality itself of the show is quite cheap, the animation feels lazy (Sometimes they'll just zoom in on a character instead of making a proper close-up shot or disguise lazy animation as comedic shots multiple times per episodes).

The characters are as generic as they can get.
#1 is your average Dere Dere
#2 is your average "Ara ara" milf with massive "plot"
#3 is the cute boy that everyone think is actually a girl
And #4 is the punchline of half the episodes.

(We stan #3 in this ... house)

The show also has an insane amount of fan service, for example #1's dress is so short that you can see her panties at all time which was very distracting and the hot spring scene is straight up softcore porn.

The overall story is only explained with 2 line of dialogue before jumping straight into the first story which made it difficult to get into at first and every single episode tackles a very distinct story which keeps the show from getting old or repeating itself.

Even though I'm being very critical of the show, its still very fun.

Not Recommended

Hacka Doll is an advertising anime for an eponymous app. From a common logic, such types of works are supposed to be quite weak, since their sole purpose is for the viewer just to look up the odject of marketing. What's somewhat surprising in this title is that for such a medium it's actually decent.

—————

STORY:

Episodic and parodical in it's nature, the show stay this way all the way, though the a few recurring characters and themes. The premise of the show is quite basic: a not-so-well AIs that are supposed to help app users in their deeds. What's actually interesting is that every episode usually ... has an aesop of sorts that even makes sense.
It's hard to rate low the series' pacing, since it stays pretty much the same throughout it and this pacing works well for such a type of anime. I find it's good, though, that the series ends, in a sense, with a Where It All Began trope, which is a nice touch that creates a somewhat solid ending. Again, we're talking about an ads 7-min per episode anime, so keep that in mind.

As a side note, the series, being made with the help of Studio Trigger (which was formed by former GAINAX employees), even has a roundabout moral right to parody some shows, namely Evangelion. I'd say that to me the parody and humor were fine; they would even work for someone not familiar with the subjects.

ARTWORK:

Hacka Doll uses some nice techniques like zooming in on actual images for comedic effect (though it suffers from low resolution in that case), which, with the overall good production values, ends up in a decent art quality. Main characters' design is catchy, though everyone besides them looks generic. The general artwork is surprisingly good and has it's own style, though. For a short series, that is. Which is to be exacted given the supposedly good budget of the show. The OP is very decent too.

I'd also like to separately note the ED is a big surprise with its use of MMD animation. They even have four versions of them. Though short, they are quite well done, one would have to give them that.

SOUND:

The music themes of the series are nice, but aside from them, there isn't much of a soundtrack to note or talk about. VA is nice too, while SFX are rather basic.

CHARACTER:

This section is pretty straightforward: The characters are fairly cardboard, the main trio being a little better that the rest in that matter, and it's not like the is much development for them or other characters. The weird thing is the 4th character, since she was uncalled for and her entire purpose isn't very clear.

—————

As for the points:

STORY: 5/10
Premise: 1/2 — Slightly interesting.
Pacing: 2/2 — Works well for its type of a show.

SOUND: 4/10

SFX: 1/3 — They're there.

CHARACTER: 3/10
Presence: 1/2 — They play their roles, I guess.
Personality: 1/2 — Cardboard characters
Backdrop: 0/2 — A minimum of it.
Development: 0/2 — Almost none at all.
Catharsis: 1/2 — Extremely basic, but there is some.

VALUE: 2/10
Importance: 0/3 — No real point recommending it to anyone who's not genre fan.
Rewatch value: 0/3 — No real point in it.
Memorability: 2/4 — Good work for it's medium.

ENJOYMENT: 6/10
It was nice for a short time killer.
