Premise: Sonokawa Momoka is persuaded to join her schools Survival Game Club. The members, who are all strange in their own way, often engage in intense airsoft battles.

The Good: Sabagebu is a comedy anime about cute girls with airsoft guns. I remember the humor being very intense, often verging on black comedy. A lot of the jokes were also based on absurd humor, whether from how unrealistic the situations became or just outright randomness. I usually enjoyed a lot of the individual jokes in an episode. Momoka was a fun character as well for how terrible of a person she could become. The over-the-top action was fun.

The Bad: Sabagebu is another comedy anime where the sense of humor wasnt my thing. I mentioned above that I often enjoyed individual jokes, but they rarely came together in a way that carried me through a whole skit, let alone a whole episode. Black humor and absurd humor arent my favorite comedic styles, though I can enjoy them in small doses or if theyre used in certain ways. It just felt like Sabagebu relied on them too much, and for me it wasnt enough.

Overall: Sabagebu has two things going for it, the crazy (low-stakes) gunfight action scenes and the jokes derived from them. I enjoyed both of those aspects well enough, but the sense of humor this anime used wasnt my favorite thing.
