Should I watch Uchuu Patrol Luluco?
Note: Im LA
Ever wondered if Studio Trigger's anime worlds were ever connected?
Uchuu Patrol Luluco is an anime short about the titular Luluco voiced by M.A.O wanting to be a normal highschool girl where she lives Ogikubo is an alien-filled city making things very abnormal.
For the first few seasons (what?) Uchuu Patrol Luluco establishes Luluco and the Space Patrol cast most especially ΑΩ Nova voiced by Junya Enoki, Luluco's love interest and Midori voiced by Maymi Shintani, a classmate of Luluco, all while paying some homages to Trigger's and by extension Gainax's works. But later on, it outright pays homages and makes cameos' of Trigger's other works(like Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, Inferno Cop and hell even Sex and Violence with Machspeed) through Luluco and the gang looking for Ogikubo in space (don't ask) and them finding these worlds in the process. The final season culminates into Luluco's character development and hidden lore about her to what she REALLY is in a meta-aspect while paying homage to Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gurren Lagann.
So what does LA mean by "seasons", well Uchuu Patrol Luluco is formatted with 5 seasons spanning 13 episodes each with 7 minutes.
The animation by Trigger is what is expected from Trigger, the only attention to detail is that the majority of animation has the same stylings of the anime's they are paying homages (to be expected from ex-Gainax to Trigger animators). Uchuu Patrol Luluco's animation is bombastic to say the very least and LA loves it if that isn't obvious.
The voice acting is just as bombastic, even with a 7 minute timespan, the majority of the cast talks quickly but that only adds to the bombastity of this anime short's nature. M.A.O does great as Luluco and Mayumi Shintani who voices Midori does the extremely snarky character which is Mayumi's forte. LA's favourite voice actor would go easily to M.A.O without a doubt but nonetheless the voice cast is bombastically great.
If there were any shortcomings to Uchuu Patrol Luluco it would be that due to how quickly things come and go every episode, with the exception to Luluco and ΑΩ Nova, the rest of the characters are glance over and are just tagged for the ride or are meant to be cameos and nothing more, but this is Uchuu Patrol LULUCO so LA can give this anime short some grace.
Uchuu Patrol Luluco is undeniably a massive love letter to Trigger and Gainax fans as well as Trigger itself paying homage to it's previous works all packaged into a 13 episode anime short and can attract in any Trigger/Gainax fan and bring in that nostalgia of watching the shows made by Trigger and this one anime short tying in Trigger's shows into one nice medium. Uchuu Patrol Luluco may be an anime "short", but it brought something BIG as Trigger's bombastic nature and crazy storytelling Trigger's original works are known for.
