Stella Women's Academy High School Division Class C3 Review

This is the first anime that I've finished which was inspired by a personal event, more on that later, as we review C3, (Because the full title is ridiculous)

Yura Yamato is starting a new school, however she's naturally shy and socially awkward making fitting in difficult, to top it all off she's felt isolated since her last school and is a lucid day dreamer but more on that later.
Her strange behaviour and the fact that her roommate is the leader of the Airsoft club gets her scouted for the C3 club, (derived from Command, Control, Communication an actual military term)
During her time in C3, she enters several tournaments and feels the experiences through lucid daydreaming where she feels she's in a real battle, however her past and the desire to get noticed starts complicating things for her as she starts showing a darker side.
Characters are a mixed bag and quite a number of interesting characters get overlooked in the story department in favor of Osaka's Gainax cousin, which is a shame because there's a number of characters who need some context for existing in the first place no less the other members of C3 barring Yura and Sonora who actually got a backstory.
This does have the typical sports theme of newbie trying to find herself after being dragged into the sport and is usually influenced by others to improve and actually has talent, see Hajime no Ippo, Princess Nine and every other sports anime in the last few decades, but in 13 episodes it pretty much follows the set trend without needing a thousand more, as the sport of Airsoft is niche enough to not be noticed and with a title this long and forgettable it doesn't really help it's popularity, no dub as there wasn't one but if there was, some character voices would be too predictable.
Final Verdict: Sadly its forgettable, the title is too long, it fails to stand out among its peers and doesn't really give me much to work with in terms of characters, which is a shame because I can see potential in this series.

Extra: I have done Airsoft and it's punishing, while fun its very painful; it's portrayal in C3 is fairly accurate and does have a very niche appeal and is easier to manage than paintball not to mention cheaper.
In my home town of Gloucester we have the biggest Airsoft arena in Europe taking up an old abandoned Match Factory the size of a Rugby pitch, if you ever want to try it, visit Gloucester and ask about Strikeforce.
