Introduction
Ao Gennai is a completely average first-year high school student—that is, until a mysterious package is delivered to her home one day. Inside she finds Gourai, a tiny humanoid robot capable of movement and combat known as a Frame Arms Girl. Gourai is the first of her kind, possessing an extremely advanced AI that allows her to form a personality, learn, and grow, much like the human mind.
Following Gourai's activation, Ao is thrust headfirst into the world of Frame Arms Girls as more and more of the intelligent robots are delivered straight to her front door. With a rather hefty cash incentive pushing her forward, Ao is committed to collecting as much data about the Frame Arms Girls and their combat as possible, all while they learn what it means to be human.

Frame Arms Girl is a trendy advertising series wrapped in a nice slice-of-life mecha-mix that tries in a very traditional way to make the audience want to buy these cute little model girls.
Story: thin and a pretext to show the little girls with heavy armament (4/10)
In a near and peaceful future, teenage girl Ao accidentally receives a Frame Arms Girl (Gourai). This is the prelude to a simple slice of life mecha mix with a bunch of tiny cute AS (=artificial self). In other words, we get to accompany a small group of cute android girls in heavy armor on their adventure forays. We learn how Gourai and her friends / enemies, other cute little humanoid robots with the intellect of a 10-year-old and the ability to learn, assisted by their master Ao manage the small and big adventures of every…

Frame Arms Girl for those who don't know is the model kit line produced by Kotobukiya and this line is essentially having mecha musume characters with armour and weapons for them to "fight"...so yeah this anime is a living advertisement for Frame Arms Girl.....with for at least expected results.
Frame Arms Girl follows Ao Gennai voiced by Yoko Hikasa who gets a delivery and obtains Gourai voiced by Narumi Kaho and thus Ao dives into the world of Frame Arms Girl as she now is "willing" to give data to Factory Advance for data.
Frame Arms Girl is a straight up slice of life anime involving the Frame Arms Girl with fighting in-between to this setup with the plot structure following suit until the last 2 episodes or so.
Because of this, the character department is rather slim nonetheless.…

Frame arms girl is a wonderful, relaxing Anime, and made me smile! (hoping for season 2)!!!!
Love everything about it, even though some fan service was kinda....yeah.
This was just wonderful! 10/10 all!
I love all the characters!
Even though I usually just give 10/10 to anime that give me the feels, and makes me imagine myself in the Anime, I gave this an exception for an 10/10! I have no dislikes about this Anime!
I recommend this Anime to anyone, no matter what your likes are, I guarantee you will like this. (Okay I am someone who like mostly like all genre's, so I watch basically any Anime, that is why I recommend this)!

this is weird
I thought it was a PR stunt that ran for 12 episodes; then at the end there's a cliffhanger WTF
(＃`Д´)
lemme get this out there though; IT IS A 'PR' STUNT (￢_￢)
first of all, no base story line whatsoever; it revolves around an all female cast (which doesn't really matter once you get into it), of which most of them are in mini skirts
"like really mini, and for some reason always has some sort of pants angle" again, don't really mind
so... story line. its just a show where female action figures are geared with artificial intelligence and they're pitted against each other in a holographic world.
so they battle each other to gain data for themselves and the factory that is going to produce them -they sent prototypes to be tested
its not the sort of thing where it is good…

Frame Arms Girl began as a standard snap fit model kit line made by Kotobukiya, featuring Armored Girl versions of their Frame Arms line. Now, despite being a little small for a figure line, Frame Arms Girl is one of the most popular model kit lines Kotobukiya has ever made, gaining a huge fanbase and a lot of buyers. So naturally due to it's success, they take pride and confidence in their creation.
Now, of course, it's lowkey obvious that this line really appeals to otakus, with them being model kit girls and all, not to mention all the showing skin and fanservicey bits. Yet anything can become more popular with the right exposure, and what's a good way to increase the huge popularity to otakus?
By making a TV show out of it of course.

Frame Arms Girl is an advertisement. It exists for one reason and one reason only, to sell those toys. But in that, there is magic that can happen. For the process of selling toys is not a simple one. Toy line anime can't work like normal commercials. They can't just shove in the product in the viewer's face and yell at the top of their lungs, "BUY OUR TOYS!" They have to make them special and appealing. They have to draw the viewer into the world of the toy and get them to want them. And it is this mindset that makes Frame Arms Girl work.
In the case of Frame Arms Girl, it isn't a show that wows the viewer with any part of itself. While the animation can look spectacular at times, it's only in comparison to the 3D models that really it shines. What Frame Arms Girl does really well is mak…

TL;DR Section at the end of the review. This review may or may not contain minor spoilers.
"I've come to realize that emotions aren't something you learn – they have to be experienced." —Gourai
Frame Arms Girl (F.A. Girl) is a show that had potential to be something great, but unfortunately fell short.
Ao Gennai receives a package from her father one day, which it's contents are revealed to be Gourai, a Frame Arms Girl. From here, their friendship grows as Ao teaches Gourai the variety of emotions humans feel. Along the way, they meet many friends and foes alike.
This story and setting had vast potential to be something so beautiful, but it ended up turning out poorly. Not only is writing fairly subpar, all the characters are really flat (in more ways than one). They each have the uniq…
