Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku is a 2015 anime from Doga Kobo based off of a series of light novels which were in turn inspired by Vocaloid songs. Well, this is the studio behind the first two series of Yuru Yuri and New Game, which is somewhat hopeful. But they also did that stupid Dumbbell nan kilo moteru anime so this could go either way.
Story:
Ichinomiya Eruna isn't exactly a normal girl. She's obsessed with cute girls, Galges and she has an idiot cousin with a romantic interest in her who hasn't quite put it together that she's very, very gay. Still, she decides to attend her dolt of a cousin's high school because they have cute uniforms and there's a girl in the brochure that she gets immediately hormonal for. At the school she learns that all the students have special super powers an…

This review might have some very light spoilers. Just a heads up.
This is my third review on here. I don't write reviews often, because many times others have already covered most of the important bits newcomers should know about a particular anime. I felt that I should write a short one about this series, while it's still fresh in my mind and as it's not one of the most popular shows out there.
I binged it last night, but not because I found it to be wonderful, but rather, I wanted to try to make sense of the randomness and instability of it by the end. Was there any sense in the end? Let's find out.
The story of Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku is hard to put into words simply, as it feels more like a mashup of multiple tropes from different series out there jumbled into one show, and not in…

I'm going to be honest up-front. If I'm looking at this critically, "Mikagura School Suite" is, with all affection, a total mess. It's tone fluctuates wildly, even within scenes sometimes, the pacing is everywhere, especially in the last few episodes, and the plot is somehow at once very simplistic and a little bit convoluted. It's probably half the length it needed to be, because it races through its story so fast that a lot of the many genuinely interesting concepts and thematic ideas within it just don't get the time to breath.
And yet, I find myself unable to give it any lower than I have, even if it partially deserves it. This show, looking from a perspective somewhere approaching objective, doesn't deserve a 7/10. But I have to anyway, because despite all of the messiness, I had suc…

Overview: Think of a battle royale in a school full of really cute magical kids, and you have the big points of this Anime. The art/animation is really great for the genre it's pure eyecandy. The music is enjoyable and well matched to the material. The stories leading to the individual battles are all pretty good, even if they require giant amounts of suspension of disbelief. The same goes for the schools setup and function.
I give points to the anime for having a proper ending for the season, that doesn't leave you feeling cheated. I also give it points for not endlessly using cheap tricks to delay plot points. The story it does have is well paced and unfolds in an enjoyable fashion.
In shot it is what it is, which is light fun that will likely leave you smiling.

I really wanted to give this show a higher score, I enjoyed it. It had so much potential. The characters and the plot were a straight line for success. But in the end it just felt like a joke.
Story: 4
The 4 is for the concept, the actual execution and resolve are super weak leaving you unsatisfied by the end.
Art: 3
Half of the anime felt like I was watching YouTube. Characters would morph and look nearly completely different from time to time especially when there's any movement. I understand the budget may have not been high but it seriously seems like a joke. They ended up not animating a bunch of fights too, although the fights were subpar anyways with the animation.
Character: 7
Ahh I'm not really sure if I should give it a 7. I really liked the blend of characters and their pers…

There are only two things wrong with this show: The first is it either has too much yuri in the beginning or not enough yuri in the end, depending on your tastes. The other things is that it only has 12 episodes.
The story and the art styles are definitely the best thing about this series. Every scene has a purpose in the greater plot, and the fight scenes especially are stunningly beautiful, if not highly detailed. That being said, the sounds of the show and the music in general are somewhat forgettable, though there are certain moments that the music makes.
The characters in the show have clear progression, and all of them have their part. Even when certain characters have predictable arcs, they are executed perfectly. The only thing keeping the characters to a 9 instead of a 10 is tha…

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Writing a review on an anime that came out 2 years back ok xD
⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
~Alright so Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku, a series based off the ever popular NND song series is your basic average magical school plot where cultural clubs fight against one other to get benefits such as a better clubroom and etc.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know some people find this anime mediocre but i honestly didn't find any part of it that mediocre. In fact, i enjoyed the characters and personally i feel if the story was executed in a different way than a usual magical school plot, then this anime may come out differently and appeal to others
~At the end of the day i loved the different characters in the anime. From the reckless Eruna to the
scary-faced yet kind Kyouma, they all made the anime as enjoyable as it could

Okay so most reviews of Mikagura are shit.
There are only two things you need to know about Mikagura.
First, it's complete and utter garbage. I've watched the BD version release and you won't find a single piece of good artwork, fitting voiceovers, honest OP's/ED's or go five minutes without counting so many plotholes you'd think you're reading your cousin's BL homemade doujin.
Second, it takes itself so not-seriously it doesn't just runs with the cringe, it goes on several dates, buys an extremely expensive wedding ring and proceeds to elope to some lost shithole in the Bermuda Triangle where they'll have little cringe-sons and cringe-daughters to populate their cringe-dimension. It's nonsensical fun and lovable characters and cliches so stupidly straight you'd meet them for church servi…

This anime would've been amazing if they executed it properly. But if sort of felt like they were trying to deal with two many things at once.
First off, in the difference in strength in the heroine (Eruna) between the first episode and the last episodes was just impossible. The timeframe given for her to evolve her power beyond absurd is just impossible. From what I can tell, she transferred into the school and this was episode one. And then she becomes this strong in episode twelve when it was just the midterms? But there were no Christmas breaks or summer breaks so it must mean the first midterms she has come across. And she asked s certain person what was coming up since everyone else seemed to know. This would mean that she has no idea of what she is about to have to do. And yet she…

Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku or its english title known as, 'Mikagura School Suite'. I found it surprising that it got Dub. Which when comparing the two I found the Dub all the more appealing and easier to follow. Just seem to take a slower pace. As someone who has never seen or watched Vocaloid Shorts it's hard to say, but I just happened stumbled upon this show with no expectations whatsoever.
Gomenasai like always but minor spoilers.

Our protagonist is, Eruna. Right off it's shown that she's trying to decide which High School she wants to attend. Eventually deciding on 'Mikagura Private School' do to the wonderful assistance of her cousin Shigure and her hormones when she see a picture of Seisa. Without a doubt Eruna is infatuated by Seisa looks and is the main reason she atte…

Okay, as always I want to preface my review with the three things I’m looking for in an anime: I want a really good story (+5), I want really good dialogue (characters/character development, etc.)(+3), and I want really good “technicals” (style, sound, etc.)(+2). Also, I’ll remind you my reviews generally encompass the whole series of an anime unless otherwise stated (That is to say that no more seasons are coming out). So let’s get to it!
Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku… I don’t even really know where to start here. There was no story. I’ll be straight with you here, I felt like this anime was Kaiba saying “screw the story, we have fan service!” And, hey, it does work sometimes (ala High School of the Dead). But, most of the time, it sucks (I’m looking at you Infinite Stratos). Honestly, I’m r…

(This has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
After completing Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku, I started to wonder what kind of ability I would have if I was granted one based on what I do. At first I thought of a keyboard that would create out of thin air anything I typed out in full – “Manifest Words” would be the name I would give it – because of how much I write. Then my mind wandered to a snowboard that was not so restricted and could go on all surfaces – “Any Board” – because I like to hit the snow when such an opportunity presents itself (it is pretty rare nowadays). Regardless, I know that whatever I happened to receive I would have as much fun with it as possible because that is what life needs to be: good, safe, and reasonable fun. This is what the anime tries t…

Story 6/10
There's a magical school. Students have to be a club member. And students have to fight using their powers. This school has a new student. Her name is Ichinomiya Eruna. This story tells us her school adventures.
I like this anime. It's a seasonal anime and it could be called fun for the summer. It's not overly good but everyone can love that. Enjoyable, fun and adventure.

Yet again another series with an interesting plot!
The story follows Ichinomiya Eruna; a normal girl who has an abnormal love for beautiful girls; normal right?
Well her life changes as she enrolls into Mikagura Gakuen to meet Mikagura Seisa; the grand daughter of the principal
The school has a very unique system in which the club that wins battles against other clubs will obtain points and popularity; more points means a greater school life.
The plot simply follows Eruna and her friends
Although it follows Eruna's main goal which is to be together with Seisa, it still explains the backstories of the characters around Eruna.
As you can see just by seeing what the main character is like you can tell this anime is a straight-up comedy series; I mean come on, she is obsessed with beautiful…

The following is based on my own opinions, you are free to disagree with my review. Also this might contain spoilers, but not really.
Let’s start with the overall art in this show. The animation in Mikagura Gakuen kumikyoku wasn’t too shabby. In the first few episodes I noticed right away how there wasn’t put all that much effort into it. However nothing about that bothered me. But later on this show, when the fighting scene started to happen, I sort of started liking it. It’s obviously different animation, but it caught my eye and looked interesting to me. But the composition wasn’t so good. Same goes for transition and scenery. Some of the objects or people in the background were drawn badly and most of the time the characters were composed in a way that there wasn’t a lot of scenery to…

Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku, is an anime that I wouldn't personally watch if I found it after it has already aired.
Its story(8/10) is very unique and original so you can choose to watch it if you want something new!
The Art(6/10) wasn't what the one I like in anime as it's more like Amnesia and less than SAO which I like.
The Sound(5/10) is one of the worst of the anime's features, or to state it better, it isn't very well taken care of...But the voice acting is very good!
The development of the characters(8/10) is very interesting and the are the ones who make the twists and turns of the anime.
Apart from the fact that is a rather slow pacing anime, with kind of boring first episodes, it is worth for someone to watch it for its last episodes which are great!

This anime, surprisingly, looked boring when I first read its description on the anime site that I frequent, but I decided to give it a chance. I'm glad that I did, cause this anime was...well, a funny anime that is guarenteed to make you smile.
Story: 7
The story is probably one of the lower part the anime, as the story itself isn't really anything new. The protaganist goes to a school where people have superpowers, you seen at least a few of these kind of animes already. What makes it stand out though is the comedy behind the story, which stems from our heroine herself.
Art: 7
The art is basic, to put it bluntly. The creators didn't waste any effort in drawing what they were supposed to, but they cut corners where the could, like the background characters, whom they only drew in white.…

Y’know, school is fun. You have friends to talk to, activities to take part with and other stuff that seem ‘fun’ to enjoy. But having watched Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku (Mikagura School Suite), their definition of ‘fun’ has gone a lot wackier. By entering the school, you would probably go nuts with whatever activities they have. This Vocaloid project is based on a light novel.
Eruna spends her life at home playing games, and has yet to decide on which high school to attend. Her decision finally came about when her cousin Shigure gave her a pamphlet for Mikagura Academy, where she catches her attention on a photo of Seisa in it. When she attends to the academy, she finds out that it only has cultural clubs, and a battle system which club members with special powers fight one another as repr…

All my reviews are spoiler free aimed towards people who haven't seen the show.
Mikagura School Suite
Initial summary and review, if you're not interested in the summary skip the story section. *note my reviews are always spoiler free. Any part of the story that's revealed in the summary is only for the first three episode or less in an attempt to intrigue you to give it a view.
MSS is an anime adaptation of a novel that was first inspired by a series of popular NND songs created by Last Note and performed by the Vocaloid GUMI.
The words that describe this show as a whole are fun, energetic, even charming at times. But I think the word that best describes with show from an objective standpoint. Is lazy.
Story: The show starts off rather ominous, with a girl running from a pursuer thro…
