comment
A Slice of Life show following the lives of Funco and her friends Eru, Ichiroku, and Shigu. At Seishou Academy, the four girls aim to do their best and shoot for their goals. Literally. With live ammo....Yeah. The students at Seishou Academy are all Anthropomorphic Personifications of various military firearms, and the show features Slice of Life antics alongside information about the weapons depicted.The franchise consists of the manga (the regular series and the Upotte Nano spin-off) with an ONA (Original Net Adaptation) and OVA so far. Received a simulcast on Crunchyroll. The animated series is licensed in North America by Sentai Filmworks and released on Blu-Ray and DVD on March 18th, 2014. The Anime Network is streaming the English dub.

Artistic License – Gun Safety
 Upotte!! (Manga) / int_10134c97
comment
Artistic License – Gun Safety: Proper firearms safety is stressed, and all characters keep their fingers outside the trigger guard when not shooting. In the live-fire exercise in "Go for it! Pass it!" (also in the manga), the girls were shooting at balloons above each others' heads. Had they been human, this would have been ridiculously dangerous. Common safety rules are posted in the hallways at regular intervals. The obedience level... is about what you'd expect from middle school students.

 Upotte!! (Manga) / int_135b9977
comment
Bloodless Carnage: When the girls get hit by bullets, they don't bleed. Justified because they are guns, not humans. The trope is zig-zagged with Genkoku. After he gets hit in episode 10, a puddle of blood appears next to him. When FNC comments that humans can't be killed by the girls' bullets, the blood disappears. There is no blood when he gets hit again shortly afterwards..

Good Guns, Bad Guns
 Upotte!! (Manga) / int_25afd4a3
comment
Good Guns, Bad Guns: Seishou Academy students are from Western (M16A4, L85A1, FN firearms, SIG SG550, H&K firearms, etc) nations or Western-aligned (T91, Type 64, SAR-21, SR-88) nations, while Akaganekou students are Russian and Warsaw Pact weapons (AK-47, AK-74, SVD, RPK, PKM, PP-19 Bizon, AN-94, Saiga 12K, Type 86S). Firearms that are from Western-aligned nations, but are based off Warsaw Pact designs, have questionable morality (IMI Galil, Sako 95). An odd side-effect of this is that, because Akaganekou's name is a pun ("AK ga neko", or "AK is a cat"), good guns are wielded by unambiguously-human girls, while bad guns are wielded by Cat Girls, and the questionable ones are likewise in the realm of other Unusual Ears (Galil having dog ears and Sako elf ears).

More Dakka
 Upotte!! (Manga) / int_2b706ca
comment
More Dakka: Ichiyon switches to this in her duel with Ichiroku... and doesn't hit her at all. Most assault rifles can fire on full auto, but as an M16A4, Ichiroku is limited to 3-round burst because full auto uses ammo too fast. Battle rifles in general are known for their poor accuracy when fired in full auto, and the M14 is even worse in that regard because its lack of an inline stock exacerbates the high recoil inherent to full-auto fire with full-power ammo. G3 later has to teach her a (very embarrassing) shooting stance that has her basically brace with her entire body to keep the recoil down.

Hammerspace: Where the girls can draw their rifles from at any time. Averted for ammo, though. Thompson sensei uses this in a fight against Aug. Aug kicks Thompson's gun, held in her right hand, which causes it to swing upwards, deflecting her aim. Next instance, said gun disappears from her right hand and Thompson pulls out another in her left hand, followed by Boom, Headshot! at point blank.

William Telling: A variation of this occurs in episode 9. Sig annoys HK by calling her Chuusuri-chan, and Chuusuri shoots the cover on the book Sig was reading on the beach named Wilhelm Tell, which featured an arrow piercing an apple on the cover. After it gets shot, Sig holds the book up, and points out that it's a library book, and Chuusuri gets a scolding from one of the teachers.

Urban Warfare: The Red Steel High-based AK faction engaged all of the Seisho assault rifle girls, fighting throughout Atami with urban warfare tactics (sans military support and all). Ms. Fujiko and the battle rifle girls join in the fight, assisting the latter with a super friendly Galil; in the anime, Galil gets injured partway through and Sako gets in on the fun in her place. The AK faction receives help from 2 other AK derivatives, the Bizon SMG, and the Saiga-12 self-loading shotgun.

 Upotte!! (Manga) / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: While the anime keeps the Atami shootout from the manga, it differs in several aspects from the source material. Aside from the fact that the girls are actually fully-equipped with tactical jackets, Galil is taken out early, making it possible for Sako to step into her role, and the high schoolers (G3, FAL, and M14) intervene in the fighting as well. The biggest change of course is the appearance of the Soviet Major, who gives out the Break Them by Talking speech to Sensei and FNC in the manga; in the anime, AK-74 gives the speech instead.

comment
Amusing Injuries: After Eru gets hit in the head by Genkoku, she has a large lump on her head. Several scenes later it's still there while Ichiroku's bump has long since faded. It then drastically shrinks after she sits out in the sun for a while. Pretty much anytime Genkoku gets hurt, helped by the fact that he usually brings it on himself. Until episodes 9 and 10 anyway. Episode 10 reveals that the old maxim "Guns don't kill people; people kill people" is literally true in this world.

Loophole Abuse

comment
Loophole Abuse: In the beginning of the first episode, Funco is watching a young boy and girl at a shooting booth at the festival. The boy knocks down a prize, but the booth attendant claims he has to also knock down the stand in order to win the prize, which he conveniently forgot to mention. Funco then volunteers herself, and shoots both the prize and the stand, but now the attendant claims her shot didn't count because she's a pro attending the nearby school (after taking her money of course). Then the teacher shows up and fires, and although he has a good stance, his shots are terrible and he misses the prize, despite somehow being allowed multiple shots when the other characters were only allowed one. Somewhat justified as the viewers/readers might have seen the boy shoot the last of his multiple shots. Funco, being a pro, shot the prize in her first try so she does not need multiple shots.

Bottomless Magazines: While the girls are shown switching magazines from time to time, they almost always fire way more rounds than a magazine should be able to hold. Unsurprisingly, they either run out, have their gun jam during plot-crucial points, or in Saiga's case, have their magazine destroyed by someone else's shot.

Shout-Out: Jatimatic's appearance is based on Cobra's Marion Cobretti, the most famous user of the weapon, and everyone calls her "Cobra" after the movie as well. Sig could make a good Goemon based on her Iai technique. "Once again, I have shot a worthless object." When the girls visit Enoshima, FNC notices (and is confused by) a shop selling Tari Tari goods. M16 mentions "being surrounded by a pack of zombies, confined in a mall with lots of guns" and directly references the Graboids.

Feuding Families
 Upotte!! (Manga) / int_d4d8d831
comment
Feuding Families: Being guns from different countries, there are some who have bad histories with each other. One example is the American guns (M16 and M14) with the AKs (in this case, the Galil and Rk95 as their internals are based on the AK rifles) ever since The Vietnam War. 16 faces the AK faction from Red Steel High later on, which fuels her rivalry with them. In the manga, there's also the rivalry between the Uzi sisters and MP5 sisters on the best SMG. This has some historical truth to it as a lot of security forces worldwide, including America and Germany, were armed with the Uzi during the Cold War until the MP5 took over as the world's main submachine gun. And in one omake, MP7-tan and P90-tan face off, reflecting the competition between both PDW types.

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Funco realizes she doesn't know the name of the Japanese teacher, and her classmates assume it is just "Japanese Teacher".

Male Gaze: Quite evident in the closing credits. The clips of the battle rifles/high school girls include FAL with very short shorts, no bra and an open jacket that just barely covers her breasts, G3 getting fully clothed but leaning down with a heavy focus on her ass, and most blatant of all, a nude Ichiyon with her private parts covered only by a strategically-placed rifle and boot.

Anthropomorphic Personification: Most of the characters in the school are guns. "Sensei" is the one exception. Nano implies that this might also apply to tanks, as a few of the characters see a spirit of a Type 10 tank when visiting a museum, and G3 wonders if Leopard 2 is doing fine.

comment
Shown Their Work: Mostly the firearms used in the franchise. G3 & Sig's sniper duel correctly shows basic sniper and counter-sniper tactics. The show does explain how the British military were eventually armed with the L85A2. Alongside the problems they encountered such as the frequent jamming, their issued magazines falling from the rifle and parts breaking down (for example, the broken firing pin that puts L-chan in the infirmary was the most common failure reported during the Gulf War) before the L85 was modified to the A1 and A2 standards. Poor L-chan never got the modifications, though. The evolution of the M16 series with the differences between the various M16 rifles. Also shown with Ichiroku constantly taking baths and cleaning herself excessively, as the M16 tends to jam when not maintained properly. The hand signals used by the assault rifle teams in the jungle wargame story. T91 and AUG demonstrate bounding overwatch in their battle against 16. Aspects of urban warfare were shown during the gunfights between the Seisho students against the AK faction, including suppressive fire to provide cover and crouching to avoid being an easy target by using the corner. The description of the Vintorez VSS in Chapter 58, detailing it as not an outright sniper rifle, but a close-quarters marksman rifle firing subsonic ammunition to eliminate any sound signature, and its ability to go automatic.
