Kill Me Baby! (aka Baby, Please Kill Me!) Released: Jan. 5th 2012 Studio: J.C. Staff Genre: Comedy
Initial Thoughts: This seems like an interesting comedic premise, kind of like a chibi-sized version of Full Metal Panic.The show follows Oribe Yasuna, a high school student, and her friendship with Sonya, a self-proclaimed assassin. I'm usually tough on comedy animes because there aren't usually robots or guns or oversized weapons or over-the-top fighting styles to hold my attention. But if the show is funny enough (like Mitsudomoe - if you haven't heard of it PLEASE check it out), I will give it the time of day. This one is based on a 4-panel manga (kind of like the Funnies section in the Sunday paper), so I'm not expecting full 24-minute episodes. This doesn't mean the show won't be good - Yondemasu-yo, Azazel-san managed to be funny with 12-minute episodes after all - but I'll be holding my breath.
Post-credits verdict: This evoked a resounding "Meh" from me. The production management decided to go with 24-minute episodes, but I think 12 minutes would have suited it better. There wasn't enough comedic material for 24 minutes so it felt like they were stretching out every sketch and the episode went by sooooo sloooooowly. There were one or two genuinely funny moments but I think they would have been better with different timing (the ending song was catchy though). This is a good anime to watch when you just want to sit back and turn your brain off (so basically when you're high). It won't make you bust a gut, but you should let out a hearty chuckle every once in a while.
