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
But most importantly…

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

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…

✦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…

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.

The story is centered around transfer student, Momoka, being roped into joining one of t…

Here’s a trivia question: what do you get when you take a bunch of cute girls, give them some guns, and put them all in a club? At first glance, you’re probably thinking Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu, a series that aired in Summer 2013. And of course, you’re not wrong either. Both series are about cute girls attending an all-girls school with the new girl transferring in from another school. However, there is an incentive about Sabagebu that invites more attention. No, it’s not just about the girls or ‘cute girls doing cute things’ gag. It’s more of the ‘girls kicking ass while having fun while doing so.
Animated by Pierrot+, the studio has been focused on a variety of projects in recent years. Their latest work, ‘Baby Steps’ is also about a group of people in a club competing in a spo…

Welcome to the Survival Game Club! A place where we imagine battles with fake guns and take comedy to the extreme!
The anime was something I was unsure to watch, with it's bright palette it didn't seem to suit the military genre and I didn't know what to expect. After watching the entire series I can safely say it's something that I enjoyed from the start to finish. The anime was hidden due to the strong Summer line-up such as SAO 2, Glasslip and Barakamon. It didn't get as much justice as it should have in my opinion.
With the anime following the comedy route, you see a lot of interactions between all the characters to make retorts and scenes as hilarious as possible. The story follows Momoka, a transfer student at a new high school and she gets roped into joining the Survival Game Clu…

I'll keep this review pretty blunt, since there's no point of trying deeply analyze a comedy such as this one. Sabagebu! is a lighthearted story about a group of girls who belong to the Survival Game Club. As you may know, there have been several other shows that have played around with this plot (for example, C3), but I'll tell you why Sabagebu! did it the right way.
First of all, this anime is pretty episodic. The pattern I've noticed is that the episodes typically consist of two or three short story arcs that each last for part of the episode. Sometimes the stories are more geared towards action, and sometimes they're geared more towards school life, or whatever other random events may happen.
The cool thing about this series is that it has at least one thing that most people can enj…

Short review, because you don't need to read a bible to make an opinion about something and it saves time too!
How do you feel about episodical plotless anime? You love it? You hate it? Because your enjoyment depends on it.
First 5 episodes are great!
We got interesting, funny situations. Sadistic, masochistic characters with little bit of schizophrenia. Who doesn't love that, right? Humor is great in this show, so surprising and unexpected. And it mix up some serious themes in between jokes like bullying, stealing, rejection. You can even learn some stuff from this anime with a help of narrator who involves viewer in the show. And because this anime is self conscious it makes everything even more funny. And i love rule "never judge a book from its cover" when it comes to character (re…

Plain and simple. That's the name of the game with this show. Sabagebu is a solid comedy that had surprisingly great potential early on, and then somewhat dips a bit below later. It never gets bad nor does it ever become amazing, but it does suffer from a few problems here and there. I was hoping for something akin to a successor to Yuru Yuri (I believe the director of both shows might be the same person, but I am not sure) and it was not quite that. Of course I cannot fault it for it not being something that it was not setting out to be.
What I can fault it for are things like its music. One thing that drove me insane with this show was its extremely small soundtrack. All the songs are fun enough, but it is honest to goodness something akin to only two or three songs that just keep getti…

I never had any expectations for Sabagebu. It was never given any attention when I made that "season previews are worthless" post sometime before the summer season aired. I just saw that it was one of those "girls using weaponry" anime, remembered how I didn't give C3-bu much of a chance when it aired a year ago, noticed that it was the first thing to air in the season (even though it was due to being a pre-air), and gave it a shot. Was kind of surprised at how fast-paced and violent the premiere was, so I watched the second episode. And then the third. And now I've finished the entire series.
- Watch out Witchcraft Works, because I think you've got competition for the best "hidden gem" of the year. And considering how fucking insane you turned out to be, that's saying more than America's…

'I know what the title says, but don't go expecting real survival games!'
Do you enjoy an anime where girls battle out with guns? Well, there have been a lot of anime that fit that category such as C3 and Strike Witches. I know I've seen a few, and this anime is one.
There's nothing much to say about Sabagebu honestly. It revolves a hig-school club called the 'Survival Games Club' and we look into the crazy shenanigans these high-schoolers are put up into. Momoka, the character focus of the group, transferred to this high school and is forced into the club by its president, Miou. From there, she leads her own not-so-ordinary life.
Now, what's good about this anime is the hilarious comedy. It never failed to make me laugh every episode. From the characters to the main story, it just brig…

(This has been adapted from my reddit thread)
When you think of high school, or college for that matter, what comes to mind is education, parties, and extra curricular activities. But for the girls of the Survival Game Club, it's less about these things and more about just having fun, with a gun or two thrown in for good measure.
STORY
Somewhat generically, the story begins with our new transfer student, Momoka, enrolling in a new high school. Upon entering, she discovers the "Survival Game Club", a group of girls dedicated to fake-gun battles.
Much in the same vein as Nichijou, Sabagebu! takes the approach of smaller mini-episodes to convey what plot it has. Naturally, there is no over-arcing goal to the whole show; its all about what is happening in the moment. And for a show like th…
