As someone who loves all things firearms I did not enjoy Chidori RSC enough to continue watching it. The story is quite unoriginal and feels like a direct copy of many anime from the 2000s onward. Everyones description of the anime is also pretty misleading since firearms are nowhere to be found within the anime. Chidori RSC is about Olympicstyle competitive beam rifle shooting something closer to laser tag against paper targets than actual target shooting with real gunpowder and lead. A minor difference to some but as someone who has a raging hardon for firearms I was very disappointed by this. The characters are bland and unoriginal from their writing to their design. I couldnt even distinguish everyones personality and appearance from one another if you paid me to. Everyones design is based around stereotypical flashy neon color schemes and overused anime character tropes with the depth of a kiddie pool. Altogether this makes for a great recipe if youre aiming to release an anime that feels like unflavored nutrient paste. The background visuals and audio design are just as bland as the character design and I struggle to find many words to describe it with. The animation is typical we want to make a fullfledged 20something minute 12episode anime but dont know how successful it will be so well just make do with a tight budget sort of animation with corners clearly being cut and nothing flashy added to garnish the final product. Audio is... I dont even remember. Its hard to have downright bad music in anime but its oh so common to use bland lackluster music that would fail to impress even someone who has been deaf since birth trying on some new miracle hearing aids. Compared to the highly realistic orchestral recordings of Hibike Euphonium or Girls Last Tours exotic selection of original and remixed tracks that amazingly suit scenes like fresh gravy on warm biscuits This anime simply fails to impress me in any way. An anime about realistic casual shooting might be niche but is highly desired by that niche. Theres so much untapped potential a few studios have already tried to crack open but they all ultimately failed miserably. In my opinion Upotte of all things is still the only anime that has successfully catered to borderline or fully autistic gun nuts like myself if only because they got most of the dynamics of realistic firearms right. I really hate to give a low rating to a debut of pseudofirearms into the normie market and discourage the viewing of such a subject but Chidori RSC really just isnt that good of an anime be it for someone who simply wants to watch an anime or for anyone interested in it for its supposed shooting aspects.
