To sum up this show in one sentence, this is the most Trigger show Trigger has made. If you're a Trigger fan like me, you'll appreciate this. It's a goofy show that's just a collection of 'Trigger' tropes and references to Trigger's other works such as Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, and Inferno Cop. And these are just subtle references either, they're very blatant. Inferno Cop is literally a recurring character throughout the show, and there are entire episodes dedicated to Little Witch Academia and Kill la Kill references, where Sucy and Guts make guest appearances. If you're a fan of Trigger's other works this is a fun, short watch for you. It's basically just fanservice (not in the sexual way) for Trigger fans, so if you aren't a Trigger fan, you won't appreciate this.

A series of 5 minute webisodes (not including intro and outro). All flash and no substance. This anime is hyper-kinetic and loud and seemed more like adverts than anything else. There are a lot of bright colours but not much else, everything seems put there just to get your attention. It has no substance, I wanted it to make me laugh, but there was nothing there that even made me grin. If you like fast talking characters that make no sense then this is for you, if you're looking for feels or laughs you won't fine them here. The art is good, the colours are bright, and the sound is loud and none of the jokes are really funny.

This anime has a very unique, over-the-top sense of humor and memorable characters.
The plot is delightfully ridiculous and the comedic writing is done perfectly to match this absurdity.
Most of my issues with it are just personal preference - I found the lovey dovey young teen love song at the end didn't really fit the general comedic theme of the show but that's probably my biggest issue with the series.
There's a lot of references to other studio trigger projects, which I find can be a bit tasteless if overdone, but ultimately it does not really affect the quality of this anime.
The art and music is great. The characters are all interesting and well written. The plot is a breath of fresh air, not to mention ridiculous and hilarious.
A great anime all around. If you like absurd com…

Top tier garbage, the only reason I gave it a 2/10 instead of 1/10 is because it managed to make me laugh once or twice. It's just that those times it made me laugh, it was with jokes that were only funny once yet was re-used to the point where they were beating a dead horse with vigor and ferocity that would make one question whether that particular horse had previously murdered all their friends and family in front of them.
It's a show with half-arsed jokes made with no thoughts, everything they thought of went into the show. Rather than comedy, the only thing this should be doing well, it seems more focused on offering a wacky art style that isn't interesting or good in any way. Well, one can see what to expect from these people if you look at kill la kill, it's all about the art while…

A short anime made with little effort deserves a short review written with little effort.
There exists a principle in economics called diminishing returns. It also applies to comedy and art. Remember Inferno Cop? Remember how funny and different it was? You first saw it and your jaw dropped. You just HAD to share it with friends. Then we got Ninja Slayer and it was the same fucking thing, but it was still funny. Much like Hangover 2 was still funny. Luluco is Inferno Cop 3 and while not as bad as Hangover 3, it's still pretty bad. I honestly found myself laughing very sparsely by this point. They changed NOTHING and expect us to still keep laughing at the same joke. I'm sorry Mr. Imaishi, but this horse is dead. You killed it. It's time to stop beating it and move on to something else.

I will neither say it's underrated nor overrated. But i enjoyed it so much. I don't know how to describe my feeling from it. Haven't seen pure soul, pure mind, pure love like this for a little while.
Luluco must be protected at all cost! I liked her character so much. I want to be like her. She does everything carelessly, doesn't know what rudeness is. Such an innocent girl.
In addition, ending song and its video were extremely chilling & aesthetic.
If you liked Kill la Kill, you would probably like this one too. Some stuffs are lame, but overall is good.

As a short, thirteen-episode series, Space Patrol Luluco redefines what it means to be “fan service” by existing as a vibrant amalgamation of Trigger’s expansive catalog of series, all centered around a middle-schooler seeking normalcy in an unlikely place.

Welp, didn't think I'd write a review for this "show", of all the things i could write about.
woaaah, even hitting the lower limit for characters is a drag... Sigh... well, might as well get this out of the way, and i'll fill the limit later on:
THIS IS TRIGGER COMMERCIAL. 13 segments of shameless auto-promotion using sparkly, simple animations. huh? "unconventional and original plot progression"? try "no plot, and a lot of crossovers with other triggers works". Original content is wrapped up in the first 2 episodes, than it's all "he-heeeey! that from kill-la-kill" and "oooh, that's inferno cop!" and so on.
I mean, fuck, they even call MC Trigger-chan at the end, it's a fucking studio mascot.
There's nothing wrong with auto-promotion, it's just sad seeing you all going crazy over what a…

Space Patrol Luluco, it's a disorganized and chaotic mess. It's not to be taken seriously by no regards. Being a short anime of seven minutes run time, but lasting the equivalent of four to five minutes since the ending ost takes a majority of run time. It's a fun short nothing more than that.
The show premise is a unique one taking place in a future were humans live side by side with aliens. Luluco wants to be ordinary, in this by disorderly world were anything can and will happen and it does. It start us off with Luluco eating breakfast with her dad Keiji a member of Space Patrol, which is a future law enforcement. Anyhow, mistakenly he chows down a substance that freezes his body solid. Unmistakably, Luluco drop him causing him to break into multiples pieces. The only solution in getti…

I cried. OK yeah the title might put you off, might make you think, oh it's like one of those magic girl shabbadibidoodah anime but like seriously. Don't underestimate this anime.
During this review, I will try to make it nice and easy to understand/snappy-n-short and SPOILER-FREE so whenever I say "plot" it's just something I don't want to spoil.
So this anime is 7 mins long which is long enough to have a little plot and at first you're gonna be like cool. This has the humour, the arts really really rEALLY FLASHy and you enjoy it. And then the last two episodes come along and...whoops you're crying.
If I was to say anything about my thoughts on this anime, in a couple of words I'd say "it was really cute and funny and made me cry" but lol no I'm reviewing this properly and thats not e…

Oh man, Trigger has done it again.
What I loved best about space patrol Luluco is that at the moment Trigger seems like they have found what direction they want to go in. Magical girls, transformations, supernatural and comedy. Right now it is as if Trigger is sticking with their roots for this title. I love how they are still able to do whatever they want with their shows. They like being innovative with their titles, I respect that.
The story is really simple but is purposely made crazy because you know, trigger... gainax.. Uchuu Patrol Luluco follows the life of Luluco, a.. you know what, you can actually get this information from the reading the description of the show.. anywho, I liked the story. I thought it was pretty interesting in all honesty. Before I get into it I'd like to sa…

SPACE PATROL LULUCO (9/10): That there is mah ratin, if ya want to know more about mah ratin system check the description down below. Time to take a tumble into my potentially spoiler filled review.
This show is balls to the wall craziness through and through, and that is what makes it such an entertaining watch. The first few four episodes are over the top crazy but they all feel confined to individual gags, some of which can drag on for a bit too long. An example of this is during the first episodes transformation where the amount of time spent with the class laughing at Luluco’s embarrassing situation dragged on far longer than it needed to. There are other instances of this in the first four episodes but after epis…

"'So I should stay normal?' 'No, you should stay wonderful.'"
This quote is between 13 year-old main character Luluco and "1st middle school crush" Nova. Luluco, in the beginning of the show, is preoccupied with being normal. As the show progresses, she grows with experience as a (initially unwilling) member of Space Patrol, and eventually, awakens her power, and claims her identity as "Ms. Trigger".
Luluco is a show that pays homage to past Trigger works and other projects director Hiroyuki Imaishi has worked on. Trigger is a company formed by former Gainax employees who when founding the company were looking to take on the burden of their "creative risks" instead of passing them on to other staff. Imaishi made Luluco, not just for love of animation, but to show what his ideas of animat…

WARNING: This review might contain minor spoilers. Also this is my first review.
Uchuu Patrol Luluco (Space Patrol Luluco) is an anime created by Studio Trigger, the ones that made some of the good anime titles such as Kill la Kill. I like the way that they made something that balance fanservice with an simple yet unique story.
STORY - 8/10
This about our main heroine, Luluco, live in a city filled with aliens and such. However with her father accidentally froze himself, our heroine was forced to work as a space patrol to get her father unfrozen. The premise is simple yet unique in an, very odd way. And episode duration is about 7 min per episode. I'll give it 8 for the story.
ART - 9/10
Art style for this anime is simple, well because often Trigger use western animation as inspirati…

Capturing the attention of the audience is quite difficult when creating an animation short. There are a few things to consider such as an original concept, strong script, appealing characters, well executed comedy, and visual allure. Needless to say, Uchuu Patrol Luluco executes these concepts quite well. Furthermore, the repertoire of the creator, Hiroyuki Imaishi, has worked on a considerable amount of anime throughout his career that many anime fans may give him credit to where it’s due. From the person who has worked on titles such as “Kill la Kill”, “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann”, “Nihon Animator Mihonichi”, “FLCL”, “Neon Genesis Evangelion”, and “Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt”, Hiroyuki Imaishi presents a 7 minute animation short called “Uchuu Patrol Luluco” (also known as “Space P…

Space Patrol Luluco is incredibly flashy and weird (in a japanese fashion), yet somehow it feels uninteresting and average, almost boring.
From its cute and immediate presentation to the almost hip-hop montage during its peak moments, I've never felt so disarmed by an anime: everything on the screen stays for about five seconds before dying, moving, or screaming. All goes faster, then slower - because there's a character we need to introduce, so here's the camera pan from the bottom to the top and a shiny sound effect - before going crazy again. All of this in seven minutes per episode, which, at one point, becomes unbearable.
It's understandable that Trigger may have went for a crazy approach with the series: "Luluco's a tame girl in a town. But there's aliens, so that changes everything,…

Space Patrol Luluco is essentially one giant fan service vehicle if you're a big fan of most of studio Trigger's works and it stands pretty well as its own thing too.
The story, like most of Trigger's works, is over the top, flashy and loud but instead, unlike Kill la Kill, this insanity is compressed into short seven minute episodes and is one of the best anime of this format I've seen in a while. The story revolves around our main character, Luluco, an ordinary girl in a not-so ordinary world filled with aliens and space travel and the such. While her father accidentally freezes himself, Luluco takes him to the space patrol station in which Inferno Cops' sensei (I'm not making this up, this is canon) called 'Over Justice' makes Luluco part of the team to stop crime.

This was an interesting one.
When I first heard about this anime, it was when I read about a post about Trigger's new anime, this and Kiznaiver. What compelled me to watch Luluco beside it being made by the same studio as Kill La Kill one of my favorite anime but the art style and I'll tell you I wasn't disappointing.
First off the story. The plot is all over the place. It's very random and has scenes that jump out at you. With a plot like that most anime would be hard to watch but somehow with Luluco it works. No matter how absurd the scenes are, there's always the show's main focus. Luluco just wants a normal life as a 13 year old middle school. But watching her in situations far from normal makes the randomness and nonsensical parts of the show work. It pulls us into her world in her s…

"And we realized that a reckless, ignorant middle schooler's foolish first love was the most worthless, trashy garbage in the universe." - Blackholeian.
Funny.
Crazy.
Unapologetic.
Fresh.
Savvy.
Nuanced.
Ridiculous. How does one even begin to describe Luluco? I can give it many definitions, and yet it seems as though none of them can truly define it. There have been, and will be many synonyms for the word crazy used to attempt to encompass Luluco's uninhibited originality- insane, unhinged, verrückt, loco, おかしい (okashii), rabiosus, gek, mad, bonkers, nutso- it could go on forever, and still never truly capture the idea.
One could also call Luluco perhaps the best "lore" show ever made, transforming a disparate set of series and franchises into a single universe- a million, million world…

Made by Studio Trigger who were famously behind Kill la Kill, comes another piece of work as absurd as the former. To sum it up, Uchuu Patrol Luluco is like opening a box full of colorful chocolates which would burst open once put in the mouth.
Ogikubo is a fictional place set far in the future time where aliens and humans and come terms with each other and live together. Uchuu Patrol Luluco follows Luluco, a seemingly normal teenage human girl who seeks a normal lifestyle herself in this crazy city filled with mysterious creatures. But of course that isn't the case as Luluco is appointed as the newest member of the Uchuu/Space Patrol Agency, an organization fighting against crimes and serving justice in the world of Ogikubo!
Uchuu Patrol Luluco specializes in slapstick over-the-top hu…
