Hit wo Nerae!

The story here is more interesting than Cosprayers ever was, mainly due to the look at what goes into making a TV series from a producers point-of-view. Even still, I was glad that each episode was only 12-minutes in length because anything more would have bored me to death.

One of the main weaknesses of Smash Hit! is that it is a fanservice fest. Every excuse in the book is made to show off girls panties or have them in swimsuits. Part of this comes from the "filming" of Cosprayers but a lot of it comes from girls wearing short skirts. Then there are several shower scenes as well.

However, there is marginal interest in watching a series start from an approved series idea to production to completion. Many of the factors that go into changing a script or direction of a series are looked at including network executives changing their minds, sponsors wanting this or that, merchandicing, etc. Even in a bad series, there are hard working people behind the scenes. Still, this wasn't enough to elevate this beyond "Watch".

Bottom line: if you suffered through Cosprayers, you might as well see this too.
