If you enjoy the genre of 'Cute girls doing cute things', This is for you.
Characters: 8.5/10
The protagonist, (nicknamed Kaos), Is the immature, small crybaby, and though some people exaggerate her moments to seem like she is screaming from start to finish. She actually has lots of character development and has her shining moments. The 3 other supporting characters each fill some sort of character troupe, and even though there is many contrasting character traits, they all feel like a very well written friend group. There is the classic Tomboy, Tubsasa, who writes shonen manga. Koyume, a bubbly girl who loves sweets and writes shojo manga. And Ruki, A self-conscious girl who is very loveable and writes... adult... manga. The girls all mesh together well and create a positive enviroment…

The show is cute and the art is nice. However, the rest of it is very dull. If you'd like to know anything further, let me break down the protagonist, one of the worst I've ever seen, and we will see if she's for you...
If you like undersized, childlike 15-year-old girls that are immature in every possible way, she's your girl. (The three supporting characters make up for this, thank God.)
If you like the kind of girl that cries, whines, screams, self-deprecates, passes out and takes away valuable screen time from the characters could be using to enhance the show, she's your girl.
If you like the type of girl that has the unbearable screeching voice of nails on a chalkboard in your ear all the time for at least half of each half episode, she's your girl.
If you like the type of girl th…

This is yet another wholesome series, with good characters and enjoyable character plots. The art is good and the OP and ED are perfect for the series.
Story – 7
It’s very enjoyable, with many different character plots that mostly feel complete.
Art – 6
I enjoyed this, with impressive character reactions, backgrounds that feel real and many different locations for shenanigans. Some scenes feel like your reading a manga with a creative art style.
Sound – 7
The OP and ED are perfect for the series and are a great addition to the series. The background music helps emphasis character reactions and emotional scenes. Characters – 8
I love these characters with the secondary characters helping the series feel more vibrant.
Kaos-sensei is a very emotional character and feels amazing to watc…

This is a very cute anime in and a nice anime. The characters are cute and their interactions were also cute and sometimes funny to me to what they were doing, well one of its genre was comedy. I liked the character that Moeta Kaoruko had at learning more about how to improve her art and how to have confidence in my opinion. This is just part of my taste in anime so you dont have to agree with me if you dont like my opinion. So i will recommend this anime to people that like cute things and slice of life.

Bakuman....MOE Edition.
Comic Girls is another in the line of "working girls" anime but this time in becoming a pro mangaka. The comparisons towards Bakuman is probably just at the surface level of making manga and all the trials and tribulations", seeing that Comic Girls is a Manga Kirara Time work, the competition aspect is barely there, instead more about friendship and camaraderie of helping bring manga's to life in this anime.
Kaoruko "Kaos" Moeta voiced by Hikaru Akae is our resident narrative focus of the anime and we do get a plotline of her growing as a mangaka and learning it from her dorm friends. She is also the typically shy and extremely nervous character of the core cast and has a REAL habit of crying whenever she does something bad (or even a jabby compliment gets to her)…

Let’s keep this one brief shall we, at least by my standards. Brevity is the soul of of wit, as old Shakey said. Comic Girls manages to carve an identity for itself within the oversaturated market of ‘CGDCT’ shows by being a very genuine portrayal of what it means to be a struggling creative up and coming in a brutal and unforgiving industry, which will definitely be relatable to many people, myself included. With a unique artstyle and design sense, Comic Girls sets itself apart from the pack by giving weight to it’s characters and environments. Like such past shows as K-on, the locales and backgrounds of Comic Girls feel like real lived in environs, which only furthers to enhance the atmosphere. The animation is impressive for what it is too, providing excellent comedic timing and some gr…

I might spoil the show when analyzing the characters. So don't read if you haven't watched the show! Unless you don't care...
I am an artist. It may seem like I'm bragging, sorry if it does, but it is pretty important to my enjoyment for this show. Cause even though every artist doesn't have the same experiences, there are things that many artists do feel.
Being ashamed of oneself work, not feeling deserving of food and other self-destructive thoughts.
I have never really seen an anime about art that shows this side of how artists feel. There are probably other shows that do this. Maybe even shows I have seen that do this. But this is the show that has made me remember that part the most. Cause the artist part in many anime characters is irrelevant in most cases. The character might be…

Moe gold.
Drawing quality is great, I like the art style. Images are colorful, pretty, characters are cute.
Haven’t noticed any animation issues, movement seemed realistic (expect of course when intentionally tried to be funny). (It’s hard to do a good job, people can easily notice when something is out of place, just don’t feel right. So, this is a great sign.)
Sound effects and music are on point. (dramatic/ominous sound drops)
Story/characters are funny and sweet. (I laughed a lot and my eyes got teary from time to time.)
Pacing was consistent. (Spoiler: Aliens don’t just unexpectedly show up in the last 20% of the show. …well, maybe they do, I might just haven’t noticed them.)
10/10 (in its category – I mean it’s not the most mind bending, edgy, genre defining peace with the most su…

*Sorry for my bad english
I doubt why this anime's reviews have people give so much score? My personal opinions I think this anime overrated.
Story is simple, about four girl in manga's dormitory. If you expect this anime will be like bakuman or about manga's industry, I said nope. This anime will be like generic cute girl do cute things with content there can find in other that in same genres. For short this anime is only about 4 girls manga writer's life in dormitory.
Art and Music is good. I'm enjoy with them.
Every characters in this anime will be different stereotype live together, If this can make charm from these stereotype will be okay, but result is every character is very annoying. Like they hired to make every action to match their stereotype. So much is Moeta and Katsuki. Moet…

Adapted from a manga series,Comic Girls surely tries to bring the pain and struggle of the manga Industry into an anime,together with its own style.Although keeping its own style is important,they should also consider whether it'd be a great idea from a general anime perspective.By now,it somehow shows its uniqueness,but doesn't feature Comic Girls really well.
+good opening and ending song
+diversified characters' personalities
+Hilarious and crazy characters' actions
+nice character reactions
+Ending summed up the story
-it feels episodic
-Bad story premise -story feels shattered because characters work on their own
-repetitive or overused ideas
-undeveloped characters
-poor transitions
At my first glance,I was really excited about Comic Girls,I saw cute girls,beautiful visuals wit…

I started watching this from the very first episode. But due to me starting to read LN, I got more interested in reading than watching. Now that I've mostly caught up. I've come back and finished this gem.
This is honestly, My favorite show of the season. With only one other show I found interest in. It's not that surprising.
The characters in this I really like. I ended up associating their hair-color more to their names than their actual names. For example.
I call characters
Purple-Hair-Girl > Ruki
Blonde-Hair-Girl ( Also could be Yellow-Hair-Girl )> Koyume
Blue-Hair-Girl > Katsuki
Black-Hair-girl > Fuura Pink-Hair-Girl < Kaos
The names besides Kaos's name weren't really that rememberable. So I ended up usually calling them by their most unique characteristic
I like Kaos. She is p…

Comic Girls is one of the most overlooked shows of the Spring 2018 season. At the time of this writing, it ranks in as the #16 new TV series of the season on MAL based on the number of members attached to it. I’m sure that a large part of this is due to many “serious” anime fans dismissing moe, slice of life, cute girls doing cute things (CGDCT) shows on reflex. But I feel that this show deserves much more recognition than its getting, not just from slice of life fans, but from anime fans in general.
Comic Girls is part of the “cute girls + activity” sub-genre of CGDCT shows which K-ON! largely brought into style. In this show, the activity that these cute girls are taking part in is creating manga. While the series doesn’t go as deep into manga production as a series like Bakuman, drawin…

**** SHORT REVIEW (Kind of)****
As an casual anime watcher who usually despises Moe based anime , I didn't really expect anything good from this series when i started watching but this series proved me wrong and completely surprised me !!
Comic girls is a light-hearted comedy/ slice of life anime where the story revolves around the daily lives of female mangakas and tries to explains the effort behind creating a successful manga/comic series.
Feel free to scroll down to the "overall " and "pros and cons" section.
Now, lets cut right to chase shall we?
Story: 9/10
A simple yet interesting story which revolves around a girl named Kaoruko Moeta who moves into a dormitory to improve her manga where she meets other female mangaka of the same age. The story takes you on a road trip around t…

- Finally my review on Comic Girls, starting with the story that as you might expect, the story is extremely simple but very interesting and fun to follow thanks to the direction that knew how to create extremely fun and relaxed moments throughout the anime; in general there is not much to say about the story, it's a simple but fun story to follow.
- About the technical parté, it is simply magnificent, the Nexus studio did an excellent job in Comic Girls, even being a comedy anime with slice of life; the animation and visual are simply magnificent, the scenery is beautiful, colorful and detailed; the direction is also another point that deserves to be highlighted, the direction has managed to transform a simple anime into something extremely relaxed and fun to accompany, and of course a g…

Now this was a surprising anime. I went in expecting your typical “cute girls doing cute things” moe slice of life comedy that we seem to get at least every season. And it was in fact a “cute girls doing cute things” moe slice of life comedy. I’m already extremely partial to these type of shows and it’s really hard to make them not enjoyable (With the exception Hinako Note. I’m falling asleep just thinking about that one.) Comic Girls follows 4 manga artists who all move into a dormitory to work on their original stories and attend school. Surprisingly, the whole school aspect of Comic Girls isn’t really embraced that much. There are a few scenes to be had in this environment, but most of the fun happens in the dorms or out in the city. From the get go, Comic Girls lets you know that you w…

Is this the best Anime ever? Is it the best Anime of the season? Does it have the best characters and the best story?
The answer to all the above questions will most probably be No, but don't let that hold you back.
It might not thick the boxes that any other Anime does of this season, but somehow this was still my favourite Anime of this season. The story is simple and easy to follow. The characters are loveable and well designed, even has one of my favourite supporting characters of all time. The art is beautiful and pretty cute at times. Sound is also pretty good, for reasons I can not really say without spoiling a bit.
This Anime made me cry, it made me laugh and fall in love. And that is really all that matters. Would 100% recommend to give this a watch.

Please note that this review is intended to be read by those that have finished watching Comic Girls and while care has been taken to minimize story related spoilers there may still be spoilers within character analysis. You have been warned.
Cute Girls learning to overcome their problems and flourish as true manga artists by bonding, having fun and living the life of a high school girl as they confront their struggles together as friends and fellow professionals.
Based off a popular 4 panel manga of the same name Comic Girls is a comedy and slice of life anime that gives us the rare opportunity to see what the life of an aspiring manga artist is like and the kind of struggles that they have to face as they try to balance their personal lives with their professional careers.

The cute girls genre recieves a fantastic addition with Comic Girls, an anime I definitely didn't expect to be as good as it ended up being.
This story is focused on a group of girls who love manga and either draw one professionally, or are trying to get a series published. This proves to be difficult for our lovable protagonist, Kaos, who honestly is just awful at it, and goes to live in a dormitory for female manga artists where she meets the other main characters of the series, hopefully getting inspiration from them.
Comic Girls uses the setting really well to provide a fantastic comedy both via the characters and the use of the manga elements. This anime doesn't focus on the profession like series as Bakuman or Shirobako do, but it's still quite informative and, most importantly, su…

A few years ago, I asked myself if we’ll ever get another series about characters making manga. Series like Bakuman and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun are among some of the most entertaining anime I’ve seen that explored such ideas. In recent years, we had series about cute girls making games like New Game! or even characters working in the anime industry like Shirobako. Now it’s 2018 and we got Comic Girls.
I’ll say right off the bat that the series is about as simple as it sounds. It’s an anime that explores the daily life misadventures of a group of female mangaka. For a series that deals with such a simple premise, the way it executes its storytelling is just as effective. At its core, the show uses its character cast to do the storytelling. Every day is an adventure of its own as we see h…

Comic Girls fits in an interesting spot for CGDCT shows. While there is an abundance of CGDCT that manage to have nice light fluffy interactions but with little depth, it s rare to see a show like Comic Girls where the depth of the show is the highlight. With Comic Girls there is a lot of depth given to the characters, who they are, what they're aiming for, and the growth that they have as comic artists. While the characters do have their gimmicks and can seem a bit cliche at the start. There is much more to them than that. One thing I appreciate is that they all seem to be modeled off the genre of manga that they are writing. Koyume acts like a shoujo protagonist. Tsubasa acts like a shounen protagonist. Moeta acts like a combination between the typical CGDCT protagonist and its audience.…
