Personal Opinions
Annointed
This is honestly one of my favorite comedies of the year. Momoka is an actual protagonist, akin to the characters of the Looney Tunes or Always Sunny in Philadelphia in her petty attempts of revenge, glory and wealth. The action scenes are actually quite well done for a show of this scope, taking references from Alien v Predator, Blade Runner and Mad Max in it's many, many shoot outs and making something quite entertaining. But the best part for me was seeing how fun these people were. Momoka is an asshole, Miou is simple insane in her delusions, Maya's the poor butt-end of the joke, Urara is a perv bordering on sexual offense and Kayo's simply too obsessed with media. Seeing everyone backstab each other in their dreams and immediately getting revenge on each other is so relaxing compared to other anime where the characters feel like they should be tripping each other over but instead have to be friends.
StandardVC10
Some people should never be allowed to have weapons, or even representations of weapons. Sabagebu protagonist Momoka is definitely one of those people, which drives most of the show's best humor. Someone on staff also had way too much fun putting '80s action movie references everywhere. On the other hand, I was waiting for Urara to be funny and she never really got around to it, and the whole thing is fairly unapologetic in its pandering to various cliches of the genre, even as it sends them up. It's definitely not high-brow or groundbreaking in any way, but it's a decent comedy.
