Chidori RSC · review
Rifle Is Beautiful (2019) High school club for target rifle. Due to Japanese restrictions on firearms they use beam rifles. This is a common way to do it in real life in Japan. Not so in other countries due to cost not being a lot of difference as restrictions are generally less. Our main girl Hikari is a clumsy girl with a huge red ribbon. It turns out to be a headband later on. She is a cute girl with the temperament when it comes to shooting to thrive best under pressure and fails otherwise. Her luck is very varied. She wants to get to theOlympics and the other three will join her quest going forward.
The art of the show is fine, it can be a bit clumsy at times with a lacking of refinement. At the same time it is a nice art form for this show being a fairly average budget.
The OP and ED are fun and memorable. The character voices in Japanese are all very cute and nice.
Characters are generally good. They fit into some generic styles with Erika being a Tsundere and so on. They are developed well throughout the show and are nicely known by the end.
The show itself is fun to watch but also a bit niche. The subject itself like the real thing requires patience. It is not a fast paced story with lots of fan service. It is quite the opposite but that sits nicely around the subject. It comes into a cute girls doing cute things style.
Overall, it is a good show but doesn't do anything crazy nor does it do anything particularly new. The art style brings it to sit very average overall.
