Space Patrol Luluco Episodes 1-3 Review

Fight for Justice!
(This review contains mild spoilers!)

Seeing as this is the first show I’ve watched from Studio Trigger, I really didn’t know what to expect going into this one. I know they did Kill la Kill, which a lot of people seemed to like, but it never really caught my attention.

So imagine my surprise going into this one and finding the anime equivalent of a Saturday morning cartoon, complete with all the zaniness and fun characters.

The anime is about Luluco, a young girl who joins the local Space Patrol after her father is rendered unable to continue his job in a way I dare not spoil. She is tasked with patrolling her school and searching for evil around every corner.

The first three episodes focus on her finding an app that is allowing students to cheat on tests. Luluco teams up with a fellow student and Space Patrol member named Nova, and the two work together to solve the case.

Unfortunately, aside from Luluco, the other characters leave a lot to be desired. Nova is the generic “cute boy the main character is after”, and from the looks of things by the end of the third episode, new member of the space patrol Midori is the “bad person trying to reform”. Hopefully their characters will improve over the course of the season.

I’d easily recommend Luluco to anyone looking for a short, funny anime to watch on a rainy day. The episodes all cap off at about 7 and a half minutes, so it’s not a big commitment or anything. It’s loud, fun, and absolutely worth your time.


FINAL SCORE
8/10

Great
