| Really? Moe guns? Well I'm in for anything. |
 |
| lolwut? I'll watch it I guess, but I'm still waiting for Gokicha. |

| horrible, sell-outs! |
| I just finished watching Full Metal Jacket and I see this. "This is my rifle and this is my gun. This is for fighting and this is for fun" "This is my rifle. There are others like it but this one is mine" Get that damned thing out of my head or I'm going Pyle on the mangaka |
 |
| This is my rifle this is my gun. This is my moe this is my kyun |

| It sparked my interest. I've seen more ridiculous concepts anyhow (and some of them turned out to be quite good). |
| why the hell not... |
 |
jix said: reminds me of Gunslinger Girl Me too. But hopefully this is more entertaining than Gunslinger Girl. |
 |
| they should have waited to see how Hidan no Aria does before starting on another loli with guns anime |
| gonna watch it because I can! |
 |
| What do they mean moe anthropomorphism of rifle... goes to manga page.... The hell? |
| My anime list |
| Suddenly have the urge to buy real guns |
| What the hell? So would rifle attachments be like making a moe girl a meganekko? |
    |
| This is pathetic. |
| Shit just came real... Japanese will always surprise me . |
| This is going to be the best anime ever! ...Not really. I don't like 4koma that only exist for moe and I'm not a gun maniac either. What's next, moe charcoal, oh, wait there's already a moe charcoal anime. How about moe cockroaches, oh, yeah, they are releasing a moe cockroach anime too. There's no way they could make a moe Cthulhu anime, though. ...Except that they have. When mixed with bishounen stuff like Miracle Train (about bishounen train stations) and Hetalia (about bishounen countries), Japan has basically anthropomorphized everything known to have existed. I guess the only thing that hasn't been anthropomorphized is poop, but it's only a matter of time before that gets the Moe Anthropomorphism treatment too |

| Love the manga. Can't wait to see it animated. |
| If loli cockroaches have an anime than this has the right to get an adaptation, I'll watch it just to see what it's like. |
 |
| The synopsis sounds a little... <_< I'll watch it though, or at least give it a chance. |
| Sure why not |
 |
| not thinking of watching it |
| I will definitely pass....thx. |

| moe girls as guns? I'll bite. The Strike Witches continues in one way or another. Just no anthropomorphic sex toys or bugs please. Some stuff should just never make the jump from manga to anime. |
 |
| assault rifle .... |
 |
| Really? Moe guns? I'll still try this though. |
| "If you feed me, Seymour, I can grow up big and strong!" |
| I can kind of understand this and Nyaruko-san, but cockroaches and charcoal? Who's going to watch that? I guess maybe an entomologist might watch Cockroach Girl, but how many entomologists are otaku or even watch anime? And Binchou-tan...just why. Well, I'll probably end up watching this just to see what a trainwreak it is. I do have a bit of a passing interest in guns, too. |
| i love this manga.. this is a good news.. |
  |
| I didn't realize that the manga was popular enough to make an adaption. Should be fun reading the comments once again nitpicking on the accuracy of the information the mangaka uses. |
| Well it sounds okay.. |

I'm talking about about a doggy poo who doesn't look like a doogy poo at all, but looks like a moe girl or a bishounen instead.FOE-tan said: I guess the only thing that hasn't been anthropomorphized is poop, but it's only a matter of time before that gets the Moe Anthropomorphism treatment too Didn't Korea do something like that? |

mitamaking said: What do they mean moe anthropomorphism of rifle... goes to manga page.... The hell? Anthropomorphism= turning something into human I guess And making them moe...... You get the idea The hair looks bad. Weird idea, I'm watching it. (wasn't striking witches very popular?) |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| XEBEC? I guess I'm not watching it, then... Although I'm waiting if they shows something like AK-47 tan, may be a kind of terrorist girl? |
| After reading some of the source material I'm cautiously optimistic for the anime. The character designs are definitely better for the anime than the original manga. Plus, it'll be awesome to see it animated. 1. This is NOT a 4-Panel Koma. 2. There is real information about guns. You can tell a lot of research was put into this and the author truly love guns. Gun porn too. 3. Has some cool squadron based action. 4. Relatively little Fanservice. (Knowing Xebec, it'll be exaggerated unfortunately...) 5. A likable cast of girls. Archetypal, but not annoying. 6. Main male character is not a wuss, he's pretty cool. He's an adult too. It's all on the director/Xebec really, the source material is not too shabby. |
| wow! after moe-fighter planes..now moe-guns! sugoi! |
 |
| I'm out. |
