Fushigi na Somera-chan is short, fast-paced, and very strange, which in its own way counts in its favor. Despite its unorthodox format, or perhaps because of it, this anime manages to get quite a few laughs, both at the well-timed absurd comedy, and at the jabs it takes at various other genres as well. Beginning with the story, it'd be a stretch to say this anime has one, even if by merits of its comedy this is the anime's strongest aspect. It follows a magical girl, her sister, her friend, and a girl they hired in the second episode, and follows their misadventures. These situations are more than just random humor, even if it has the essence of that style, which is refreshing to see for an incredibly short comedy title like this one, which can be completed in under 35 minutes.

The more I think about it, the more I like it!
Somera-chan is weird. Like, really weird. That's the appeal. It's cute, funny, weird comedy for cute, funny, weird people. It's short and sweet, easy to digest, and a good time overall. It's worth the watch and takes no effort to enjoy. Turn your brain off and have fun ♥
If you like cute but cringe comedy, this is a can't miss and you won't be disappointed.
Expect the unexpected with this crazy journey as you become a part of Somera-chan's wacky world. She'll keep you laughing the whole way through.

Story:
The events of each episode are, for the most part, separate from the entire series as a whole. This works well, and each episode has its own jokes that are set up well enough to warrant a chuckle. I never burst out laughing, but I was definitely finding a lot of the comedy quite humorous.
Art:
Pretty good animation, although some of the proportions, during scenes that should have been fairly well proportioned, were off a little. No real complaints in this department, however.
Sound:
Again, same as before, pretty basic stuff. Nothing out of the ordinary for a work that isn't trying to be anything special. The creators behind this knew exactly what they were doing and how far they wanted it to go. They're definitely comfortable with an average production.
Character:
No real char…

There isn't much to say about such a short, 3 minute anime, but I can say that it definitely wasn't what I expected when I read the summary.
I gave everything about this anime, as well as the overall rating a fair 6. Their really is no plot to judge, the art is so-so, and the humor is a mixture of weird and hit or miss. I can say I was entertained, but don't expect a laugh out loud kind of anime.
If you're looking for a quick anime to kill time, I'd recommend watching this one. It's odd and somewhat funny enough that it'll keep your attention but is nothing more or less than that.

Since this is a short anime I'll keep this short.
Somera-chan is a magical girl anime that's not about magical girls. In fact, most of the time it's just a potpourri of random comedy. It's 2 minutes per episode and its funny as hell. Give it a shot. You might just like this off the wall unique adventure.
Also Somera is like the worst magical girl in magical girl history. And I love this for subverting all of my expectations.
Sure it may not be the prettiest anime, but it sure made me laugh more than anything else this season (discounting pity laughs).
7/10

First off, this is my first review and I'm only making this because I feel the score for this show is way too low.
This is a stupid anime. No, I mean it. It is one of the dumbest nonsensical things I have ever watched but that's what made it so damn funny! It was just nonsense and one liners everywhere. Half of the plot, (if you could call it that), was so stupid and random that I couldn't help laugh at just how bizarre it was.
But that's the point. They're 3 min episodes and the people who made it knew exactly what they wanted it to be, nonsensical humor with a thin shred of plot.
If your looking for something Nichijou esq this might be up your alley.
