  A good wacky comedy where girls shoot each other.

  _You Will Be Shot_

  This is a wacky comedy where colorful anime girls shoot each other with airsoft guns. That might seem like a harmless premise, but this show is playing through the girls' collective imagination, and in their imagination, they're shooting REAL bullets and spewing REAL blood. SO MUCH BLOOD. Curiously, this show is aimed at a young female demographic, though I doubt many anime watching guys will feel embarrassed watching the silly gunslinging action.

  There's no story arc to keep track of, here. Most of the episodes are divided up into three segments that are typically not related to each other. Yet, the pacing doesn't feel too fast or sporadic. All the activity here is centered around the Survival Game Club. It's a school club that specializes in 'last man standing' shootouts that can happen in places such as snowy mountains, or on moving vehicles! The show isn't all guns either. There are plenty of extra scenes, like when a handful of the characters get stuck in their school's haunted pool room and they have to figure out how not to freeze to death.

  Momoka makes for a fun main character. Despite accidentally tripping her way into the club, she goes to extreme lengths to try and survive, including tricking her friends and using them as shields or bait. Not to forget how she will mercilessly shoot anyone she feels the need to, and with untouchable aim! Miou is the coolheaded leader of the Survival club, who is admired by the many girls of her school, including Momoka. Urara, another club member, is a masochist who grows fond of the main character's violence and dismissive attitude towards her. Maya is a model who seems to be the most normal of the group but happens to get in situations like being hunted by her perverted fans. Lastly, there's Kayo, the otaku who specializes in cosplay. Or in other words, she can make costumes for other characters. And, of course, I can't forget the platypus who follows them around.

  I admire the show's comedy style because it's always trying to do something different. There are a handful of repeating gags, such as the narrator stepping in and informing us that none of the bloody violence is actually happening (this gag thankfully goes away by the end of the show). For the most part though, the show is trying out many different things, which is why there are so many odd screenshots of this show floating around. For example, a granny manning a machine gun, or a man handing off machine pistols to a crab. It might be dumb and 'random', but I find a lot of it funny! And to the show's credit, there's a handful of clever or smart moments in the show. There's even a small segment in one of the episodes where they show you the basics of how to acquire a hunting license.

  This is one of my favorite anime I've seen in this absurdist style so far. I highly recommend this to any 'silly comedy' enthusiast.

  A hidden gem in the comedy genre. Be ready to enter in the Momoka's way of life

  Story

  Sabagebu is a comedy/parody anime, where the focus of the story is the Survival Game Club of a certain High School. The episodes follow a non linear model, which means, the episode 2 is not necessarily, a sequel of the episode 1. Our protagonist here is the new girl who has just transferred to this school. Her name is Momoka, and at first, she looks like a normal high school girl. Unfortunately, in her first day of school, she was riding the train to get there when a man tried to molest her, but he was stopped by a strange girl who pointed at him two air soft guns. The incident was avoided, but in the next station this strange girl was arrested by the local police. Now our protagonist will finally start her new high school life without any kind of problems, right? Well, of course not. Right after the morning incident she was forced to join the school survival club. Why? Simple, the president of the club is the strange girl who saved her. But, Momoka did not want to join the club, then they drugged her, and made her sign the club form.

  

  With that the anime starts, every episode Momoka and the rest of the club will make you laugh. The best positive point of this anime is in the characters and in their personalities. Each member of the club is not normal, and the way they deal with the everyday problems is what makes this anime so funny.

  Characters

  The most important part of the story, because they make the story interesting and worth watching.

  Sonokawa Momoka (Protagonist): The newest member of the survival game club. She is self-centered and selfish. She only thinks about herself and in her own comfort. She will probably betray your trust too. She always choose the path where she wins, even if she has to sacrifice her own friends. Well, that's our protagonist, I mean in the first episode two girls were bullying her, she just set the girls clothes on fire XP.
  If you want another example of her way of life, in a hypothetical situation where you and her are running away together from a bear, she will kick you to delay the bear. Here, in this gif you will be able to see Momoka being Momoka.

  

  Ootori Miou: The president of the Survival Game Club, she is a charismatic pretty girl loved by the students. She came from a rich family, because of that she spends a lot of money in guns and accessories and other useless things. She lacks common sense and is a little air-headed. In addition, she is 18 years old, she was held back a year. Miou took a liking to Momoka, since the train incident, and after seeing Momoka shooting she forced her to join the club. Momoka likes to toy with Miou's naivety.

  Kasugano Urara: The classical tsundere character. She is very energetic and is always ready to everything. After some incidents, Urara's true side is revealed, she is a masochist. Because of that, she falls in love with Momoka and enjoys being beaten by her, or being decive by her. They make a good comedy pair.

  Goutokuji Kayo: Maybe she is the most normal character of the club. Kayo is quiet and realistic. In addition, she is a cosplay otaku, and she is in the club only because of the outfits she can try and make to use in the battlefield.

  Kyoudou Maya: The typical big boobs character. She is a caring girl who works as a model. Because of the size of her boobs the girls from the club always tease her or bully her. I don't like her so much, the other girls are more interesting.

  Conclusion

  If you are looking for a very different comedy anime that will make you laugh very hard, then you should give this one a try. The characters are very unique, and the way they deal with each other is very funny. This anime is completely underrated in my opinion, most people don't know it, but it one of my hidden gems.
