Sabagebu is excellent at what it sets out to accomplish, and that's simply to be a zany comedic anime full of goofball antics designed to make you laugh. It's over the top ridiculousness at nearly every turn that ends up being pure fun. If it was food it would be candy coated, sweet, and completely unhealthy yet delicious. Most all of the characters are slightly insane in their own way, but still normal enough to be relatable. The show is presented by way of multiple mini episodes with no real continuous narrative, but it ends up working perfectly to the show's advantage of being goofy.
There's not much bad to say about it other than it's total junk food compared to something serious like let's say Attack On Titan or another anime of that nature, but that would be comparing apples with ex…

Sabage-bu is another hidden gem in the realms of comedy anime. Thankfully, it seems I've gotten quite good at running into these or influencing people to recommend these to me. If you love anime about a colourful main cast going into all kinds of shenanigans and antics with covering a wide spectrum (several kinds of spectrums) of how nonsensical it can be. If you want a good laugh, this is a definitely must watch. Also, do you like GUNS? Only LOSERS don't like GUNS! And this anime delivers surprisingly well on that front.
To get the gun thing out of the way, as somewhat of a gun enthusiast (although I can't actually have any, because fucking gooberment) that was one of my favourite aspects of this anime. All the guns looked exactly how they should and they were operated correctly too. The…

Animated Japanese comedy can be hard to explain. More so without an English dub to pave the way. Basic premise of Saga-. Saddam- geez. SURVIVAL GAME CLUB can be summarized as "guntoting high school girls and their chaotic fantasies".
As the narrator will tell you a few times, the guns are airsoft and it's all playing out in their heads. Sounds like larping, but once the girls whip out their hardware it's all spent casings and bloodshed, with the occasional action film parodied. Stories are slice of life with club members personality quirks leading them into various shenanigans.
Silly and over the top, great day off binge to relax and have a few laughs. The OVA shorts are on the U.S. disc release and they add fourth wall breaking to the mix.
Bonus trivia; there's a long running anime o…

The show has a fantastic main character, but not fantastic enough to save Sabage-bu from its shortcomings.
I didn't really like this one at first, but the show's sense of humor really grew on me by the end. Watching Momoko's mean streak was very enjoyable, and was quite refreshing compared to the Mary Sues you see in most other slice of lifes. It was this aspect of the show that differentiated Sabage-bu and made it a unique watching experience.
Onto the negatives, the OST and animation were not memorable in the slightest. The characters? Well, aside from Momoka and maybe Lemon, the rest of the cast was completely forgettable. The first few episodes were also tough to get through, and the anime didn't hit its stride until over half way through. For these reasons, I really can't rate Sabag…

This is the type of show which you watch after watching an edgy anime with a heavy plot to relax your mind, This has decent comedy scenes throughout 12 episodes and the characters are likable too, specially Momoka and urara they were the funniest characters throughout the show. As far the story goes there is none, just some high school girls in their puberty imaging the fantasy of gunfighting in their daily school life and enjoying it. This anime was decent enough for me to watch, and I had a good time watching it and I hope you do too.

This anime just checks all the boxes
Yuri? Check
RAW Violence? Check
Duck? Indeed!
(Yes, these are the boxes)
An anime with a half-duck-half-platypus that becomes friends with a crab can only be 10/10. The jokes land, the animation, for what it is, is well done and the story never fails to surprise. The characters are relatable and this anime teaches us a lot about making friends and maintaining meaningful and healthy relationships. It really makes you think about what is really import in live... Friendship, ducks, yuri... This was all in all a life changing experience. Almost... religious. Unlike many other Animes, this one did not leave me feeling empty and emotionless. Instead, it motivated me to become a better person!
To put it all in a nutshell:
It smacc
It recc

I loved this! It's just pure crazy comedy. Completely irreverent, totally absurd and doesn't give a shit about anything except making you laugh. The gags are funny, the characters are awesome and the humor is the kind that makes fun of itself. It breaks the 4th wall constantly and it continues to be hilarious every time.
If you like YuruYuri or Himouto! Umaru-chan, you're almost guaranteed to like Sabagebu. The humor is somewhat similar, though several levels crazier than the above mentioned shows.
A quick synopsis:
This is yet another story that revolves around a high school club. This one being a survival game club where they play with soft guns. But in the show, the soft guns are treated like real guns. As the narrator keeps reminding us, all the characters share the same delusion.…

Its not a very special but its actually a really good anime. The art and the sounds are awesome and so is the story. Its an anime that not everybody likes but i found it quite interesting and fun. The ending was really good and it finished the story. Sabage-bu is basically airsoft but they just use their imagination but that doesnt mean its bad. In the the survival club they have all sorts of troubles that they are trying to fix or just chill and fight in their imagination. its kinda saiki style because its not one big story its 7minute videos put into a one episode just like saiki

*Salary man touches Momoka on the train*
Miou: *points gun at Salary man
Salary man: That's a toy right?
Miou: You Tell me
Salary man: "I have my beloved wife, as well as my daughter in College - I've still got 10 years on my home loan, too! -- I can't lose my life over touching some no-ass stick of a girl"
Sabage-bu! is THAT type of comedy series released in Summer 2014 that doesn't really catch the mass' appeal but has some very well-orchestrated comedic scenes.
Story: 6/10
Sabage-bu! similar to many other comedy series don't focus on story as much as a fairly developed comedy series such as Cautious Hero with a sense of an arc. However, the timeless story line is what makes comedy series much more entertaining. By abandoning the premise of a timeline and throwing events at the char…

Airsoft! Believe it or not! An anime about airsoft!
The comedies in this show made me laugh occasionally I nearly broke my table in half. Probably because of how weirdly stupid the show was with its overreactions. The narration also kept breaking the 4th wall. It's fucking hilarious.
I was depressed but this show cured my depression entirely. With all of the silly things this show offered to me. I now no longer feel an inch of sadness within my heart. Sabage-bu! is a highly cliche anime where everything is pretty much over the top. The story is not strong at all. The characters are weird. It's just... A big pile of mess.
But no matter how messy it was. Sabage-bu! was still such a fun anime. I'd say that this show is perfect for anybody who's seriously looking for some entertainment.…

You ever just have that one anime? The one you want to come into your life, the perfect anime. Yeh it may not be the best at everything or infact anything it does but to you its still perfect? Yeh well this is that anime for me! Cute girls doing cute things? No miss me with that shit, Cute "Lesbian" girls shooting things yeh thats it right there someone call chief cause this is it!
Art 6/10
The art for this anime was alright nothing groundbreaking and its definitely not aged the best but for the time it was made id say there were much worse attempts. The colourful pastel theme really does this anime well considering how violent it is.
Also guns were drawn very well which i L O V E!
Characters 7/10
Again nothing groundbreaking some of the characters were pretty generic but they all served…

Imagine yourself in a desolate, ruined city, overwhelmed by the whizzing bullets above your head. Gunpowder lingers heavily in the air, tension is at an all time high. Your only thought is how you're going to get out alive. After a not-so-thorough examination, you dash towards the fire, shooting your shot. You are shot in several locations, your stomach, shoulder, and leg. You lie on the ground, bleeding profusely.
Who's going to save you?
You snap out of it, realizing all of the gunfire and wounds were in your head. You have but a pellet gun, and so do your opponents.
This, in essence, is the entire show.
Story - 3/10
Sabagebu! follows a format of various skits in each episode, which usually have no real connection in a greater plot for the entire show (think Nichijou). Differing f…

✦Story
Not much to comment, daily lives of survival club high school girls. Their club activities, chatting, playing etc. I like non-sensical comedy. Thus why I love "gintama", but this one I wasn't particurarly impressed with. At start I got triggered by military topic (have a bit of a personal grudge, which I didn't have in past as much a.k.a much harder to enjoy anything military topic now), but thankfully 3 episodes into could filter out my grudge for the most part. Anyhow, lot of non-sensical comedy, but I wasn't fond of because of it's "4chan" feel. Hard to explain, but probably easiest answer would be that this type of comedy didn't really "click" with me. If you like…

Right off the bat, I'll say it: this anime is hilarious. This is "cute girls doing cute girl stuff" SoL anime done right. Well, not exactly right, but definitely better than most of those generic ones out there.
Most of the other anime embodying this trope are definitely decent but can sometimes get boring and cringe-y because of all the generic cliches and friendship skits and all that generic shit. It can get funny at times but most of the time they just fall flat.
But then I found Sabagebu. A school SoL of cute girls together in a club, yes. But not just any club, a survival club where everybody wields guns. What makes it more interesting though is we see people getting shot like they were actually shot (in reality they are just pellet guns and there's no blood).
Most interesting tho…

Guns + moe girls = Comedic Gun Totting Goodness~!
The cute girls with guns have been a niche kind of subgenres of the "cute girls doing cute things" with varying degrees of success, it also has to make the act of firing a "gun" play off to the moe aesthetics which are almost diametric opposites, so does Sabagebu! break from this mold of "cute girls with guns" or does it do the typical cliche stuff this kind of genre throws at us like Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C3-bu?...well time to find out.
Sabagebu! is a gag comedy anime adaptation of the manga of the same name and to it's core it's all about the comedy in both meta-jabbing and character-jabbing under the setting of an all-girls survival game club.
The plot is about Momoka Sonokawa voiced by Ayaka Ohashi who through some unprecedented…

Like Plastic Nee-san, Check.
Like Punchline, Check.
Like Deadpool style fourth wall breaks, Check.
Like insanity and stereotypes, Check.
This anime is a formulaic school club story on antidepressants. I didn't know what to think when I started this. it flew under the radar and bombed my funny bone.
The send ups of Japanese cultural stereotypes is amazing.
I'm reminded of an educational show with their factoids about armed sports and outdoorsmanship, but it never takes away from the entertainment value of the show, and often enhance the jokes.
The girls themselves are parodies of stereotypical schoolgirls in any culture, and really stand out on the show.
On the whole it's short sweet and to the point very funny. Enjoy.

Sabagebu!
Wooooooooo! Sabagebu! or Survival Game Club is absolutely fantastic. Pure comedy gold I tell ya. A great cast of characters with a plot about absolutely nothing! Slice of life with super cuties and guns! BB guns that act like real guns because of the power of imagination, how cool is that!!!!!!!!!!!
Following the super cuties Momoka Sonokawa, Miou Ootori, Maya Kyoudou, Urara Kasugano and Kayo Goutokuji. All of them are extra cute and pretty, the inclusion of guns works surprisingly well in Sabagebu. Favorite is definitely Momoka with Urara and their reactions to one another, the masochist and sadist angle is so funny!
A lot of great little stories per episode, I feel a little guilty not doing this anime in an episode by episode type of review, since there is so much to talk ab…

Oh Sabagebu!
Where to begin with this series?
This series is nothing, but a burst out laughter waiting in each corner. It's also a masochist wet dream too and a gun fanatic paradise. But with all the craziness mixed in this series stands out above others in being pretty unique.
Story: 3
Well, this series doesn't really have an actual story, unless you consider 3 different random shorts per episodes as a story, then go for it. The score is low due to not having a story, not cause it was bad. Each episode has the similarity of an American cartoon, focus more on episodic episodes rather than a story-wise series. So not much to explain. Other than this series focus on a girl who transcend past demon and angel, she is Momoka Sonokawa, who was forced into joining the Game Survival Club, by C…

This anime is about cute girls not doing cute things and it is hilarious!
Story- The story of Sabagebu was simplistic and didn't really have any progression past the first couple of episodes. The progression doesn't take away from the show what so ever having girls just do stupid gun battles and what not is the best thing i think i have seen. The best part is that they are just using BB guns for there battles but there imaginations make it look like a actual scene from terminator. The ending did come back to the statement that President said at the start of the show which was nice but the best would have to be the crab riding the helicopter and the platypus shooting a machine gun. What more do you need.
Characters- With characters we don't really get any backstories or any information…

Overall Thoughts: B-
Sabagebu! is an extremely funny Shoujo comedy that accomplishes it's primary goal: to make you laugh and it doesn't try to do much else. There aren't any "deep" themes or complex messages that the crew of Sabagebu! are trying to make you consider. While it may not be doing anything outstanding enough to be remembered decades in the future, Sabagebu! is still an excellent experience for anyone who simply wants to relax and have a few laughs. It doesn't bombard the viewer with melodrama or degrade its characters through fanservice, but instead focuses on being as funny as possible. And that's good enough for me to give it a wholehearted two-thumbs up and recommendation.
Story: B-
The story is centered around transfer student, Momoka, being roped into joining one of t…
