I didn't even start watching the anime for the subtext: I was genuinely interested in it. The girl on girl was just a side dish for me. Anyway, the 1st episode really had my attention. The colors were great, the animation was spot on, the plot was great...but after that, I got so bored. It was a huge disappointment.
I loved the whole thing, the animation, character interactions, humor. The only thing that put me off a bit was not the ending itself but how it lead up to it. A but messy in my opinion. Yet, Rolling Girls remain one of my favourite anime nonetheless. Now awaiting some Shigyo x Masami nsfw XD
Overall I thought the series was enjoyable. Some arcs were better than others. I think the plot would have been a lot cleaner if it was a longer series. The last story arc, while great with action, really had the messiest plot of all. I still don't get the drama that went in on that area....But I still think it's worth a watch. The animation is beautiful and the fight scenes are gorgeous. If you like Kill la Kill over the top wackiness WITHOUT the unnecessary fanservice, you'll like The Rolling Girls. Strong female characters everywhere. It really is a shame the plot wasn't as strong as everything else.
Shigyo x Masami best pairing imo. I really wanna see some more fanworks of those two.
MisaChiyo was seriously one of the cutest pairings too. They totally got together at the end of their arc. I'm glad to see a doujin on them. Cute! I wish it was longer though. "Please give me your daughter" was the BEST ahaha.
Hoping for more rolling girls stuff :)
