Before sitting down to watch this series, I can't say that I really knew Sonico as a character. Based on her design and the numerous crossovers that she cosplayed, from other franchises (see the insane amount of merchandise that has been sold with her likeness), I used to think that she was just an "oppai" character — whose only gimmick is that a) she has pink-hair and headphones, and b) is very voluptuous. After watching the adaptation of the visual novel's story, I learned that I was completely wrong about her!

—Story/Characters
The series starts off with Sonico going to a sultry photo shoot, not only that, but one of her best friends (Suzu) constantly wants to dress her up in lewd outfits. When this series was first airing, six years ago, I orig…

As a big fan of Sonico myself, this anime is great for me. It's a relaxing slice of life story/music anime centered around our beautiful shy girl, Super Sonico. At first glance, people would think she's just a mascot with no personality just there to look pretty and provocative or simply just "B00BS" but that’s not the case. You get to see Sonico's character shine in this anime which is that she is a huge cat lover, loves rock, is a big nerdo, and works hard for her band, her grandmother's restaurant, and anything ! She is as sweet and she is as cute.
There really isn’t much of story going on, it’s basically just Sonico chasing her dreams in music and simply enjoying the wonders of life. One episode I really enjoyed is episode 7, which is titled, Star Rain. That episode is just the defin…

This is my first review so....sorry if its bad.
One day i was browsing crunchyroll and I happen to stumble on this anime. One thing I noticed about this anime was that you really don't have to think about the story (if there even is one). In my opine this anime was made to be a fan service based anime. Now I have nothing wrong with a little fan service because I highly enjoyed No Game No Life. But feel like Super Sonico anime was just made to be a fan sevice anime with really not that much story.
One thing I do like about this anime is the art. It is just so clean and lively. And the characters where believable.
Over all I would enjoyed it a little more if it maybe had a little more story to it and had some character development.
thank you for reading my review!

This is interesting. This is the first time I'll be really playing defense for something which most people here hate (you can argue SAO II but even that doesn't have such a low MAL score like 6.27). Nonetheless, this show deserves a little more credit than it gets. Not saying it's perfect or even all that great, heck I gave it a 7, which means it's in the decent-good range, but it's definitely not as bad as other shows with this unfortunate MAL score (like Blazblue Alter Memory which got the backlash it rightfully deserved). Now, why is that? Why is it that so few people care about this show, and why is it that I am willing to stick up for it? Well, let's find out, shall we?

Super Sonico is an interesting attempt at bringing some life to Nitroplus' mascot. For once, we find main characters that are beyond high school age (just barely), but does the show hold up on its own? As a relative outsider with bare-minimum exposure to the franchise, I have to say no. Super Sonico is simply a slice of life about a girl who goes out of her way to help others and happens to really like music. If you're looking for a show that has any semblance of plot progression or character development, I'd look elsewhere- this is purely fluff with the entertainment value coming primarily from the vaguely ecchi body proportions and costumes of the heroines.

SoniAni: Super Sonico the Animation is a music, slice of life anime co-created by Nitroplus (the creators of Super Sonico) and White Fox (the creators of the anime); the anime has 12 episodes and aired between January and March 2014.
Plot
It is important to note that SoniAni: Super Sonico the Animation was designed as a marketing tool for Nitroplus to sell Super Sonico brand to people. Each episode we see a new day of Sonico’s life; she gets into different situations and different trials. It is an open secret that all slice-of-life shows don’t have a complex story;yet, it helps you to relax; that is why we watch SoL shows. In Sonico’s case, the show was sometimes boring; yet, it was a very funny experience for me.

When Super Sonico the Animation was on-air I didn't watch it because I though that the only thing it was going to talk about were, obvioulsy: boobs. And of course, the boobs are an important part of the anime, but now that I have watched it I realize that the anime talks about more interesting things (if possible). Leaving apart that Super Sonico is the most f*cking cute and polite girl in the world (which, from my point of view, it's the most atractive thing of the anime) she works as a model and she is not a super skinny girl like the 99.9% main character from other animes, which I find awesome, and when I think about being a model I always imagine that girls who think they are best than anyone... and that is so far from Sonico... she is really really humble and I love it... and I also l…

Before i started Super Sonico i thought this was going to be like K-On!! but replace the cute moe girls with busty, stupid girls, i was right about the stupid busty part and would like to apologize to K-On!! fans for trying to compare this to that Anime.
The Anime is about Sonico, who wants to be a popular Super Model but then she also wants to be a Professional Guitarist in a band. She is shy and awkward and R-E-A-L-L-Y stupid its annoying and her breasts have the ability to defy-gravity.
Her two friends in her band are Suzu Fujimi, she plays the Bass Guitar and besides playing music with the band you pretty much see her drop kicking people in the face... and Fuuri Watanuki, she plays the drums, even more stupid..er.. than Sonico and thinks of nothing other than food.

Sometimes boring. Sometimes skeezy. Sometimes stupid. A lot of terrible jokes. I enjoyed myself.
I like to watch trashy anime, and this series was perfect to chill out to before bed. I would smile and shake my head and say, "Ahh that crazy Sonico, her life is one big barrel of monkeys alright!" and then roll over and fall asleep.
If you know the titular character, you can easily guess what this series is going to be. The best aspect of the series is how Sonico can and does make friends with anybody she meets, and I was always made so very content by it. Essentially if you do not think the characters are even slightly endearing, you won't be able to watch with the same sense of bemusement I enjoyed it with.
Episode 7 was the standout of the series for me, in which Sonico wanders the countr…

This is the first time I've written a review on MAL, but I feel the need to because I think all people see when they look at this anime is Super Sonico and all that she and her merchandise implies and automatically discard it. While I can't really blame them for that because the merchandise implies a lot, I gave it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. While it's no masterpiece, the fanservice was mild, the characters outside of Sonico were actually interesting and engaging, the soundtrack was excellent, and overall it was enjoyable to watch.
---Story 7/10---
The anime was fairly episodic, and it didn't leave much for the fairly simplistic overarching plot of Sonico coming into her own as a band member and a model, but it was still well executed and the episodic subplots were well done…

I'm gonna disagree with all the previous reviews: this anime is not so bad. I've seen better, but I've seen worse ones.
Story: 5/10
Well, this is not the "Wow, so much plot twist I din't seen that coming" anime. This is nice, relaxing anime. Something you can watch if you really don´t want to think at the moment.
Art: 7/10
Art is quite well done, and I really like the endings (my personall favourite was the one at the end of episode 10). Don't expect any super computer modeled fight scenes, but who would with music/ slice of life genre.
Sound: 8/10
Yeah, it's an anime about music band, so there is a lot of sound. If you like rock/pop, you'll like it. Even this is not your cup of coffee, there should be nothing to which will tear your ears.
Fanservice: 6/10

In the world of adaptation, there’s a rare breed that superficially uses the source material, before branching off into infinitely more enjoyable dalliances in creativity. The best examples are shows like Galaxy Angel and Sengoku Collection, which provide token acknowledgement of their far less interesting source material before greatly diverging into sci-fi gag comedy and movie homage, respectively. When it was announced, I suspected that SoniAni would follow the same approach, given that they decided to give a character with the personality of a grass stain her own show. And I’ll be damned if I wasn’t kind of right.
The first episode does not start things off well—it covers what Sonico /is/ without hinting at whether there’s actual human thought happening beneath her near-plastic exteri…

What do you usually get from something inherently a marketing ploy for an animation studio, no more minor, for an anime? Most people don’t think of it much and go with the flow while they’re suckered into the gimmick. Not that there’s anything wrong with that at all. When the marketing has something to show for it with lots of fun creativity mixed in to make the experience worthwhile, it can be conceived as quality entertainment for the masses. Now take most of those qualities away that make the show quality entertainment, and you have Super Sonico the Animation.
Showcasing the boobilicious Super Sonico, the mascot of the company Nitroplus, the show is mainly existing to appease the fans of Sonico to have her show where she is the main star. I never really knew much about this particular…

I might as well be throwing myself into the lion's den here, but there are times where one simply must ask: what exactly was anyone expecting?
Super Sonico The Animation is probably exactly what you are expecting...well, that's what I was saying before it aired and saw all the reactions, at least. What was everyone else expecting? A rags-to-riches story of a three-girl band going from zero to hero? A deeply emotional and psychological show about a girl with headphones permanently glued to her head (if you look deep enough, this actually happened)? Sonico nipples?
It turned out to be exactly what I was expecting, though, and that is: Sonico fanservice. No, not in the ecchi way (though there is some of that), in the "watch Sonico do just about everything you can imagine the producers might…

This is literally the worst anime I've ever seen in my life.
First off, Super Sonico is an extremely boring protagonist. For someone who is a college student, model, guitarist in a band, and works at her grandma's restaurant and apparently leads an exciting life, they sure made it seem very boring. Not only that but her character and personality are one dimensional. She's perfect to the point where nothing she does or says is interesting, she just goes along with what everyone else says which is also something I had a problem with.
The supporting characters don't help much either. Instead of making up for what Sonico lacks, they also fall flat and are extremely uninteresting. The only interesting character in the entire series was The Manager, and that's because he reminded me a lot of…

SuperSonico: The Animation started off well enough but quickly became a drag with very few redeeming factors. Unfortuately, Sonico was not fleshed-out nearly enough to sustain the show on her own, and an emphasis on fanservice rather than characterization really cheapened the whole experience.
There are a loud group of anime fans who will tell you that Super Sonico The Animation is nothing more than a blatant Nitro+ publicity campaign designed to lure in the Otaku with a disproportionately sexy mascot. These people are not far from the truth. However, this a slight exaggeration because the show was not totally bereft of substance. Don’t get your hopes up too high though.
For a start – the OST was easily one of the best this season. Many scenes felt particularly magical thanks to an inspi…

This is my first review so bare with me, also, I am relatively new to anime and have only seen a select few so my knowledge isn’t the greatest, but I will still give my opinion on this anime and decide whether or not it is worth the watch. I will say though that I came into this anime with no previous knowledge of Super Sonico so I didn’t have any expectations, and from the reviews that I had read, it didn’t look like it was going to be amazing anyway.
To start off with, like most people had already said, the storyline is seriously lacking, there is no real story line and unlike most animes, each episode is individual from the others, there is no continuation which makes you feel like you aren’t really watching an anime, also it doesn’t give you the need to watch the next episode straight…

I doubt there should be any review.
This anime is down right shit, seriously , I don't uderstand why people would waste money on creating such garbage.
Once I got into this anime I thought to myself , " Hey , this will probably not be another K-On, Maybe it will be cool and amazingly connected to things such as friendship, band, money and maybe the songs are good AND maybe , just maybe it shows some sort of way or meaning towards why the world is so fucked up. Something like BECK."
I understand some of you might be calling me an idiot at this time because judging from the cover it just looks like a bunch of "friends" who look at the world full of "pink" and "candy" and the songs are just some J-POP meaningless songs, talking about food or some shit, rather than meaningful heart touchi…
