I mean, it is not that it is bad at all, but to be honest didn't have so much hype about it.
If you want to watch a fun cute anime just to pass some time and don't have too many time to watch a long one, then this is definitely the anime for you. Otherwise, I would recommend watching something else.
The animation is cute, and the opening song is fun but the story is a little bit plain and rushed. Don´t expect something unusual or amazing because it is pretty predictable (it ends just how you expect it and all the characters have cliche personalities).

It´s a funny happy-go-lucky miniseries about 4 women, who start working in a field they know little to nothing about, but get by each working day with gusto and learning on the go. It is even more impressive considering how naive, childish and inexperienced the editor-in-chief is, who is among the 4 women. She is also the scourge of a lot of the comedy.
They each have their own distinctive personality. If you think their personalities lack dept, remember that we are looking at a total of approximately 40 minutes screen time. With that in mind, I think the characters are well fleshed out considering the timeframe. We also get a satisfying conclusion to the plot despite the short time.
This next segment is not about "Mangirl!" in particular, but more a little rant on a lot of people's attit…

Decent at best not worth the watch. While no doubt the characters are cute and the background looks nice there is no covering the poor plot. Manga creation is a steady hard working job like most jobs. Requires skill, effort and a lot of money. They expect the viewers to be okay with the idea of not only an entire cast of amateurs trying their luck in the field but amounting to success? Sure, weird stuff has happened that can't be explained. Like what is up with area 51? Or the constant discovery of new creatures. But to say a gang of school girls will have what it takes to run a proper manga is too much.
Looking past the poor plot and into each episode's content we see no improvement. While there an occasional comical retort or scene it isn't enough to stop me…

I was looking for a short, but funny anime to watch with my boyfriend. And judging by the name "Mangirl", it seemed to be a kinda funny anime. O boy i was wrong. Mangirl does not mean theyr'e transgirls doing Manga, theyr'e simply just "Manga-girls".
Story 4/10
It's a decent, cute anime, nothing really happens. Well I know it's a slice of life anime, but this anime seriously went under average for slice of life too. Just random things that happens to a bunch of cute girls. I usually really enjoy short animes since the story gets faster and in my opinion, funnier. But it didn't work for this one, sadly. There was no plot, nothing special about it. I just watched it while eating breakfast, just to have something to watch.
Art 6/10
Everything looks adorable! Which is great because it is an…

This title is click bait, just so you don´t get confused when you see no shemales or trans or whatever in this anime XD XD
This is your really average moe girl anime, which I am not normally that much into, but because this is an short anime filled with okay good humor, then it was quite enjoyable for me even though it was still predictable because the main 4 characters are archetypes, you have your genki (Hana), your cute foody girl(Tsugumi), your nadeshiko(Ringo) and your meganekko(Aki) (if I have classified them correctly) XD and then some other few really archetypes supporting characters with no depth, the only really interesting character being Aki Torii

Story - It doesn't have much of a clear plot, though that could be due to the episodes only being three minutes. I'd prefer things be explained a bit more so that it doesn't seem as completely random as it seemed to me.
Art - Pretty average. Nothing particularly unique about it.
Sound - Average.
Character - One thing I have to point out, is just how much Ringo looks like Ichigo Hoshimiya from Aikatsu. This is possibly coincidental, but who knows. The characters are a bit on the plain side, having seemingly no quirks I haven't seen before.
Enjoyment - Despite what I've said about the art, story, and characters, I did enjoy this series. Particularly the last episode, the ending was great.
Overall - I give it a six. I would have given it just a five, but that ending pushed me to six.

This anime began airing in the Winter of 2013, and is thirteen episodes long. I generally don't watch anime that are under the standard 24 minutes long, but this one caught my eye even though it was just five minutes long. It was produced by Dogakobo and Earth Star Entertainment, who have also done Natsuyuki Rendezvous, the currently airing Majestic Prince, and Seiken no Blacksmith, which are all pretty good anime that I've seen.
I found the characters to be refreshing, and easy to relate to. The head editor was completely crazy, while the one with glasses seemed normal (most of the time). The comedy was pretty good, and had me laughing at alot of parts. Also, the opening was pretty catchy, and although I liked the animation and the characters, I felt it lacked development a little bit.…
