Fireball Charming is a prequel series to Fireball, a series of 3D anime shorts about a spoiled robot princess named Drossel von Flügel, and her robot butler, Gedächtnis. It's a comedy, with every episode focused on whatever absurd topic Drossel and Gedächtnis stumble upon. The humor isn't for everyone, the best way I can describe it is surreal. Most attempts at a laugh are usually made as wordplay mixed with puns delivered as quickly as possible, which may or may not sometimes be lost in translation. Each episode is around a minute and a half, so there's little harm in giving a couple a shot to see if you'd enjoy it. The 3D visuals live up to the title and are quite charming, I honestly prefer the dated look compared to the newer 2017~2020 seasons. On the surface, there is no plot. We g…

Rate a 4 English subtitled story -for most episodes had the same introduction. "lady, we are a late for a ball." You have the character in different attire almost every episode but you struggle at finding different word choices? -I liked the concept of somewhat flawed history. History has always been kept but things to get lost in time. Whether from translation of items. Thus creates a different history from the original. -In relation to the ball segment i referred to earlier where is it? To me a ball is a social gathering to dance. Yet, all that seemed to transpire after such need is game time. -ending i didn't get. After a critical discovery of finding an error to what was upheld to be a highly regarded event why feel the need to rest? -For something for all ages why were there a few se…

Fireball Charming is a memorable series of 13 shorts of almost 2 minutes each. The anime was created by Jinni’s Animation Studios in collaboration with Disney Japan and aired in 2011. Actually this is not the first time that this happens; in fact in 2008 the same collaboration produced Fireball a series of shorts that is the sequel of Fireball Charming. STORY: 7 At this point in a normal review you will get at least a synopsis of the plot, the problem here is that said plot doesn’t really exist. Although in both Fireball and Fireball Charming some context is provided... Fireball Charming is set in a distant future where robots and humans are at war with each other and feature the duchess Drossel von Flügel a female humanoid robot and Gedächtnis a robot that is her servant and guardian.…

If I were a millionaire, I would buy a copy of Fireball Charming and send it to every single anime screenwriter and demand that they watch it. Because it's just that good. Most writers start off with a great concept. It's unique, it's captivating and it's ripe for the picking. But they just don't know how to use it, and you get a mess of something that should have been fantastic(this review was spurred on by that regret from SAO). And in my opinion, Fireball Charming is the perfect example of how not to make a mess of that idea, even if it's a not so great idea to begin with. In simply 2 minutes of comedy and wonderful scriptwork, Fireball Charming can convey nearly any emotion in any way, and leave you wanting more. Story: Through the past millennium, robots and humans have evolved to a…
