Not 'Good', Not 'Horrible' Wouldn't Recommend to Most.
mercfma24 November 2016
So as someone who doesn't care for ecchi titles this show was not really "my thing" to begin with. I only decided to watch it because a friend of mine watched it right after it aired in Japan and swore it was great, etc & I needed to watch it asap. I could see what it was going to be without watching a second of it, so I put it off so long that it got a dub & released in USA(lol) so it was on sale I decided to buy it to get my friend off my back & force me to watch it. It has sat in my room for almost exactly 1 year, I finally decided to bite my lip & get this one off the list. Its about this girl "Super Sonico", she's a college student, part time professional model, & in a band. Its just about her daily life, theirs really not much of a 'story' per say until the last episode. Overall I didn't expect anything from this, its exactly how I thought it was going to be which was "not very good". I wouldn't recommend it unless your looking for a show with decent music and that you can play on your phone/do other things while watching this and not really miss a thing. What I can say is I really enjoyed the opening & endings, the songs were great & every ending theme was a different song & music video which was sweet. The artwork & animation was nice, the character design was nice. Lots of fan service(boobs & butt close ups(not nude)). Music was awesome, loved every song used, was basically the only thing I looked forward to every episode. The English dub was decent, I don't have any negative feelings towards it. Story? Their is none, well their is but its just not going anywhere. It felt like a chore to watch this, which is why I forced myself to power through it as quickly as possible. If your into fan service, no real meaning story type shows, whichs only hook it has is sex appeal then this is for you. If you have any taste at all, don't waste your time on this.

3/5 Why?(If I didn't actually enjoy the last episode i'd have given 2.5) The story is trash, its going NO where. Its only hook is sex appeal, nothing but fan service. Maybe that makes me bias, I don't waste my time watching ecchi shows because if I want to see that i'll watch H. The animation, character design & artwork are all nice & appealing. The English dub is ight. The music is good, especially liked the op, & the endings changed every episode along with a different music video with it. Only waste your time if your really into vocaloid music/ enjoy watching fan service shows with no real plot at all.

A fun anime series

Warning: Spoilers
This series, centred on the mascot of Nitroplus, follows the unusually named, eponymous Super Sonico. She is a pink-haired, large-chested college student who is also a singer in the band 'First Astronomical Velocity' and a model… she is also never seen without her large earphones! Over the course of the series she juggles her various responsibilities and gets in various amusing scrapes… including being trapped on a ship full of zombies! Other characters include the other band members and Sonico's manager who wears a frightening demon mask but is always protective of our slightly naive protagonist.

Given her appearance and her job one might expect there to be an excess of fan service in this series but it is actually fairly innocent; inevitably she models swimwear but the show isn't particularly leering. Sonico is a fun and likable protagonist and the gentle pace of most episodes made this series more enjoyable than I had expected. The episodes are fairly self-contained so it shouldn't matter if you miss one however as they are so much fun it would be a pity to miss any. The character designs are nice; Sonico and her manager are particularly distinctive and the animation is pretty good too. Overall a fun little series.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

My favorite waifu! Also, my first anime series besides Pokemon and Studio Ghilbi films.

Even though I sarcastically rated this series 10/10, I thought it was a great anime series for my first time! It may not have the bestplot, music, or characters. Although, the series potential was Super Sonico herself. She is a very affable likable character, she is very beautiful, and she shares a lot of the same intrests like me. In conclusion, I got more attached to the character than the actual series itself. Overall, I thought this series could have developed even further but not a terrible series to watch if your bored.
