Reviews
*"Aoharu X Machinegun is a fun series that leaves you wishing you had friends like that. Of course this is anime and the real world might have been much more cruel. I think the one thing that held me back on the series is the inability to open the story up for a deeper connection between the trio.
If you are looking for a series that is just fun to watch and takes an older plot device and gives you something you didn’t expect then Aoharu X Machingun is for you."* – Anime Egg Roll
“Based off the first episode, this feel a lot like Ouran High School Host Club, right down to the general plot, with some elements of Sabagebu-Survival Game Club elements thrown into it. The humor seems pretty good so far and it has certainly gotten my attention. I’ll be keeping an eyes on this one.” – Crunchy Roll
“I enjoyed watching it and I’m dying for the next episode to come out. I couldn’t take my eyes off of the screen for five whole episodes, partly because I had to read the subtitles, but also because it was interesting. Then again, I enjoy gender bender shows and there is actually some action in this one. It’s not all action, but survival games is more action than a host club. People are shooting at each other, even if the bullets are fake. As for those thinking this is a reverse harem or will be, it’s not impossible, but in my opinion, it doesn’t feel like one.” – Anime Planet
