Wonderful character development!

Overrated

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This series of thirteen five minute shorts follows a group of girls as they set about producing their own manga. Each episode focuses on various aspects of production; both creative and commercial. Being so short there isn't time to give the characters great depth but they are entertaining enough in an amusingly moe way.This is one of those series that is fun enough while you watch it but is unlikely to be remembered for long… apart from its rather poor title; it may be a contraction of manga and girl but it suggests something else entirely! Given that the episodes are only five minutes long I'd recommend checking it out if you like anime and don't have time to watch a full length episode of something.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
