I was prepared to give Girly Airforce a chance, despite its utterly boring premise and mediocre looking animation, until this sorry excuse for a CGI Mig-21 showed up:
And that is clearly a Mig-21 and not say one of the Chengdu J-7 variants that the Chinese airforce is actually still flying. A minor detail perhaps, but telling. When I first heard this I thought this was going to be like that fictional series from Shirobako, where you have a bunch of cute girls flying interesting planes defending the world against alien invasion. Well, that’s sort of what’s going on here, but a) the planes are butt ugly and a bit boring and b) the girls are actually AIs that need the protagonist’s manly touch to work properly and now I’ve lost all interest. Dude’s an asshole too, spending the entire first episode screaming his head off at everybody and anybody about how he wants to fly. There’s just nothing to keep me here, nothing that hasn’t been done before and better.
Dropped.
