Synopsis

At Saint Hoshikawa School there is a secret group called the G-On Riders. Students with superior strength and ability are chosen to be in the group, which was formed to fight against alien attacks on the earth. However, many of the problems that the members face are ones amongst themselves, and the same is true for the invaders. And another student at the school, Ichiro, tries desperately to confess his love to Yuki, one of the Riders. (Source: ANN)

Audience Consensus

The anime is largely considered a guilty pleasure due to its heavy reliance on otaku-oriented fanservice and a childish plot. While some may find enjoyment in its collection of fetishes, the show is criticized for its poor animation quality, weak character designs, and lack of substantial narrative depth. It's generally not recommended unless the viewer is specifically seeking a fanservice-heavy experience.

Strengths

  • Enjoyable as a guilty pleasure
  • May appeal to those with specific otaku fetishes

Weaknesses

  • Childish premise
  • Poorly designed male cast
  • Constant proportion problems in animation
  • Lacks substance and depth
