Henkei Shojo

Ever want to turn into an airplane and fly away from the suffering that is life itself? Now with Henkei Shoujo, you can embark on a journey to do just that! Story (10/10): The premise had a lot of potential. It took that potential and twisted it into a masterpiece. It was an exhilarating ride going from tragic losses to inspiring teamwork. It is truly a heartfelt experience that I have yet to see in any other show. The way the plot was presented was masterful. A lot was left unspoken which allowed the viewer to interpret it as they want. There are countless possibilities, andthat is the beauty of Henkai Shoujo. Art (10/10): One word- Breathtaking. Sound (10/10): The music was very calming at the beginning, and it perfectly fits the scene toward the end. Characters (10/10): Let's see... School girl airplane? Car? Mech? Ship? Check! Enjoyment (10/10): One of the most enjoyable shows out there. It caught me off guard and gave me an unexpected and unique experience. Final Thoughts This show, hands down, is one of the most beautiful pieces of work I have ever encountered. From the calm atmosphere to the wild chase scene- everything was done perfectly. It showed the journey of a girl's struggle, and how her strong will prevailed at the end by demonstrating that anything is possible through hard work. Update: Episode 2 was a treat! I never expected the show to get even better! One moment a girl is skipping down the road, the next she's stealing your precious gas! It's okay thoughw because guess what? She's a car! Update 2: Episode 3 just dropped today, and I'm am absolutely blown away. They brought an amazing VA HanaKana! Once again, the perfect music, art, and overall atmosphere deceived me. It all came together to the best transformation yet! What ingenuity from those bra cutters! Update 3: Boy I was shocked again by episode 4! I thought the show would just repeat the same formula over and over again, but the twist got me good! Update 4: Wow! I didn't think any show would top Shokugeki this season! We once again find a transforming girl, but this time it's something practical!

This review is actually quite hard to write; quite strange for a five-episode show that total under ten minutes. How do you judge something that doesn't aim high? When your anime is one big shitpost, how do you judge it?Well, I lied. It's actually quite simple, actually. It's one big shitpost, and it doesn't aim to be anything but that. And it's a good stinkin' time. Story: There is no story. Art: The artwork is quite good flat animation paired with passable CGI. They fit the aesthetic well, and the lacking parts of the CGI are actually used to the advantage of the comedy. Sound: The sound's passable. Not much to say. The use of the main theme would get old after a while if this wasn't so short. Character: The designs are cool, in a "what the hell, man" kind of way. Enjoyment & overall score: Yes, this anime gets a 10 for enjoyment. Everything in this anime is stupid, and intentionally. The concept is stupid, and the producers know it. The transformation sequences are laughably bad. The transformations are abrupt as hell. This gag would get old fast -- But this entire anime is less than ten minutes. So cut down and distilled, this is a fun collection of bad jokes. It's that friend who cracks stupid puns constantly. The joke's stupid but you laugh at it, with him and at him simultaneously. But in the end, it's just a stupid joke. It's fun as hell, and you have to admire how well it's done, but... It aims to be a stupid little joke. And that's all it is. Is it a fun hell of a time? You bet. But is it anything higher than the low bar it aims at? Not really. Decent is the right word here.

A truly innovative piece of art, showcasing how people change through tough transformations. Like before watching this anime I did not think it was possible to turn into a car, nor a ship nor a mech but now I am enlightened, they have shown us what most animes fail to do. Like what other anime can you say has an anime girl that turns into a an airplane just to fetch a girl's hat? Such kindness and selflessness has encouraged me to be a better person myself. The way it manages to captivate the characters emotions is brilliant as well. It's like I feelthe same way the character does I mean cmon. Look at gray haired girl that always watches these transformations take place! Shock, Awe, Happiness, Joy and Sadness are all shown extremely well. My favorite story out of the main 5 was when the car-girl "Rin" ran to the gas station and chugged gasoline. I was in shock, how can a character be so relatable?? Then she turned into a car!! How awesome is that???! oh and don't even get me started on the OST. It would put Mozart to shame. Especially the one that plays during the transformation. I have it set as my alarm so that way I can hear it every morning when I wake up so I know today is going to be a brilliant and productive day! Anyway. Henkei Shoujo is a masterpiece and a half and it is something everyone should see. Show your mom, show your dad, show your grandma! They'll be sure to love it! This beautiful work of art gets a perfect 10/10 for me!
