Rarely has an anime managed to target lovers of moeblobs, voluptuous schoolgirl fans and even gun fanciers all in one production (assuming that these are in fact three distinct groups and not one super-group), but gun-bishoujo anime Upotte!!’s aim is impeccable and the title has sustained surprising popularity…

Dare I ask how they try to explain the random elf and cat ears? It's impressive how many fetishes they've managed to haphazardly thrown in there.
Specifically, the AK's traditional rear sight, which pokes up from the receiver in a pair of points.
The AK line all are catgirls, and since those girls are both AK derived, they have funny ears as well.
If you notice, all the grils from the same family/design/company all have simular looks to them.
There's a reason why all the AK-type weapons have cat ears. The original full pronunciation of the school from its kanji 紅鋼高 (Akaganekou) contains a pun AK ga neko, or AK is a cat.
I for one will be able to perish happily in the nuclear blaze of WW3 knowing that a nation employing cute cat girls started it...
i will solely watch it for the character art
i will solely watch it because they have no noses.
Looks like the same art as Kano Kon. Just seems like a bit of an oddball series, but this is Japan we are talking about so meh... ;p
I watch it to learn more about guns and rifles.
TRUE STORY.
"Gun Bishoujo Anime"
This isn't Gunsmith Cats.
SHow is way too lame to bother with so idk if it is pron or not.
Yet You clearly cared enough to not only click on the article, but to also post a ignorant comment.
been playing too much shooters.. i know what all these guns are
Battlefield 3, heheh ^.^
Her stats are fucked up in the eyecatch (1 kg heavier than it should be, "5.56x39mm", the rest of the stats are from 7.62 version not 5.56, and what the fuck is up with that mag).
well thats one thing the anime has done very wrong theyve gotten the stats of most of the weps a little off, would have been nice if they had done a bit more research first but i guess thats not their aim (its aimed at the one hand watchers afterall) all in all i prefer the commic as it just feels a bit better.
also is there anyone else thats starting to get overly tired of all these moe-blobs?
if they did, you wouldn't be looking like sages right now. honestly, if it gets one interested in guns then the anime got their job done.
I started out thinking this show was going to be a let down. But now's it my fav in terms of fan-service I get factual gun-porn. With normal fan-service mixed in at just the right amount. :D There is win everywhere!
AHHHH! SAME FACE!

Prepare for Shit get's real next episode.
Sako's stats there are all wrong.
Not just the caliber. They are ALL wrong. 'Cause changing the ammunition type will also change the muzzle velocity, weight* etc.
Bear in mind that Galil is a licensed copy of an _earlier version_ of Sako. That should already tell you something odd is going on.
The 5.56 version of RK also has the same STANAG magazine catch as Galil, meaning they use the exact same mags.
*) Which was wrong even for 7.62 version.
Finnish-Israeli gun manufacturing connection? What is going on? Finnish law does not allow weapons export to Israel, designing help or other collaboration. Same law stops export etc. to every other country in war. Except USA!
Guess money dictates the REAL rules...
Cute girls btw.
Guns Girls and Goods are the mens best 3G's
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............
........(cough)......sniff......what....something smells like regurgitated bullshit in here! Oh. Just another moetarded wankfest. This one has......yawnnnn..............guns. Little gurls with guns.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........
Making mangas or animes for money is useless, you shouldn't watch it or buy it, fucking world...
Guns and Girls, they are made for each other :)
suddenly elf and nekomimi show up
then add trolls, vampires and wizards, would be no problem
looks like some japanese cod elite feature ...
Sigh, calling upotte "Gunporn" makes me sad, it's not gunporn if the girls wielding the guns are supposed to be the main attraction ;)
There can only be one!
I cant figure out what this series is trying to be...Is it a history show? Cause every time it almost got interesting, it turning into a history show...
Atleast it's unique, which is my biggest issue with most current anime. "Oh joy another sengoku spin ~.~' "
I dont know about it. I liked the idea before watching it, but after that i was disappointed. Dont really like it for some reason.
strike witches meets gun slinger girl
its that way because the japanese are leaning onto the perverted side than the violent side of anime. fighting is dying
Are you kidding me?! There's more than enough generic Shonen series as It is. This is one series, kid.
It'd seem the real world provides more than enough examples of assault rifles being used to kill, maim and be violent.
using them for slapstick and moe seems a good counterpoint.
Galil AR is still in service?
Still to be found in second-line duty, mostly in hands of vehicle crews. APCs, artylery, supply corp, AA defence etc. Gun is fully ammo and magazine compatible with M16, so why ditch it?
I wish I could buy an M16 for $300.
Just remember to keep your finger out of the trigger well until and unless you're ready to shoot to kill.
I'M LOOKING AT YOU, BLONDE GIRL IN PIC #51!
She's too OPERATOR to use trigger discipline.
Military may have it at this price, as they order guns in huge batches, and mass production can do miracles to unit cost. And since USA have more than one big gun manufacturer, they have freedom to chose the one offering guns at lower price.
Capitalism, ho!
It's not impossible to get M16 for only $300. Weapons were part of cold war "humanitarian aid" to friendly regimes from both USA and Soviet Union. Thanks to that middle east is is full of them. M16's were imported to lebanese militias on such quantities that they would glady sell their surplus stock off for little money.
It is intresting to note that the price of weapons fluctate in the middle east depending on how unstable the situation is. Recent conflict there has certainly increased weapon prices.

Kinda find it sorta odd how some of the girls look like they were done by another different character designer..
well to be hounest only a few of the girls look true to the origional FNC looks completely different heck i wouldnt have even recognised her if not for the hair color.
What? RK 95 uses 7.62×39 mm, not 5.56×39 mm.
There is 5.56 export version for countries with less sophisticated taste in calibers
Yeah but there is no such a thing as a 5.56x39mm round. They meant 5.56x45mm.
Seems they copypasted this from Wikipedia and just changed the caliber... and changed it wrong. Besides, all the other characteristics of a gun change when the round it uses is changed, so they should have looked up a different set of stats for the export version.
5.56x39mm is the round AK74xx series uses.
go back to your kiddie games loser
Wrong again, it's 5.45x39mm. Know your facts you "kiddie games loser".
It is 5.56*4.5 in the setting of the Manga.
The mark of 5.56*39 is a mistake of the AnimeStudio.
The adoption reason for RK95 5.56*4.5 is written in the manga.
AK74 series are 5.45x39mm
wow! My Operation Flashpoint knowledge is useful now!
