AniWorthDebutante Detective Corps
Introduction
Debutante Detective Corps begins with introductions to the five main characters, Miyuki, Reika, Youko, Nina, and Kimiko. It seems these five girls are incredibly rich and have been sent a threatening video tape by forces unknown. A police guard is set up at the school where the girls have enrolled. Kimiko, however, doesn't like the idea of being cooped up at school, and convinces the rest of the girls to trick the police into leaving. No sooner are the police gone, however, then the girls are assaulted by three armed terrorists. What ensues is a rather silly escapade with our heroines attempting to thwart their attackers.

This reminds me of that "sequel" of Beauty of the Beast that was actually a bunch of failed pilot episodes for a tv show that never was and that were, instead, put together as a movie in order for Disney to profit out of them, after all. In case you don't get what I am talking about, this is a pilot for a tv show that Gainax never ended up making but was released as an OVA in order for the company to make money out of it, anyway. At least "Belle's Magical World" hits the movie lenght mark, this anime, on the other hand, is just 20 something minutes long. But hey, is it at least one of those failed pilots that is worth searching for and paying for because it really had the potencial to be great? NOPE. The plot is non sensical, the characters are annoying and devoid of any uniqueness, the jo…

It really is not very good and it's so generic and bland it's crazy.
The only reason I watched it is because I am watching every anime that Gainax has made, and this is one of them, and probably one of their worst works. On a side note, the animation quality and artwork isn't even that bad, too bad they do nothing with that and keep it really boring.
Honestly the only parts I enjoyed was when Akiyuki Shinbo, director Madoka Magica and Monogatari, showed off his signature style where he uses weird framing and composition as well as a unique color palette but those parts were really short and rare.

Overview:
All anime fans know that Gainax has produced some of the most influential and beloved anime of all time, but every studio has made a few mistakes right? What was the worst Gainax anime ever? The answer to that question: Debutante Detective Corp!
This anime is clearly supposed to be a Charlie's Angels ripoff about an international cast of hot girls with varied skills solving mysteries and kicking ass. The problem is that it is one of the most incompetent, horribly directed, pieces of shit I have ever seen. The only laughs come not from the comedy, but from the GOD AWFUL "engrish" that permeates almost every scene of this anime. In other words, the only parts that are enjoyable are completely unintentional.
I'm just going to describe the first scene to this piece of shit and you…

When you think of great character design and artwork two of the studios you might think of almost immediately are Gainax and Studio 4°C. So it’s a bit amazing to me that artistically, Debutante Detective Corps turned out to be one of the most horrible looking turds I have seen to date. I guess even the best have to start somewhere.
Given Debutante's title I am not sure what I was expecting, but regardless of what it was I certainly didn’t get it. Nothing about the story or the title make a lot of sense. Obviously this was a title given by the English dubbing studio and it’s really only the beginning of this epic fail abortion of an anime.
Our story starts with our five heroines entering the scene in spastic, silly, and unnecessarily flashy manners. We are given brief bios of the quintet…

This is a one episode OVA that, to be quite honest, is not worth anyones time. If you just wanna see some girls do a few action sequences, fine, but don't expect ANYTHING from this show. That is all.
