Before SnW aired, it felt like itd be a series that was right up my alley. I quite like cute girls doing cute things slice of life series, especially if they have some sort of twist that makes them a bit different from just ordinary life. The idea of a military group made up of cute girls seemed pretty fun to me. Unfortunately the execution is pretty poor. None of the girls are very interesting. Honestly, I dont remember a single one of them, other than maybe one who played the trumpet (that wasnt all of them, was it?). Rather than integrating war and slice of life, which wouldve been cool, the series is basically split into two distinct sections. I think the first 9 or so episodes are just standard slice of life anime antics (but on a military base). Theyre...fine, just underwhelming. Then the last few episodes are all about death, destruction, and the realities of war. These shouldve hit hard, but it was all pretty trite. Nothing we havent seen many times before. The impact was light because of how little time it got, too. I feel like they shouldve had this sort of thing sprinkled throughout the series. Going into battle every other episode or whatever, and changing gradually over the course of the series. The series isnt bad, and some of it is pretty solid, but it shouldve been something really special.

Fun fact: the show came out one year before Madoka, and both of them have cool EDs from Kalafina. Madoka knew how to handle traumatized girls a lot better than SnW did though...
