Upotte!! is a slice-of-life (roughly analogous to an American sitcom) Japanese anime series based on the manga of the same name by Kitsune Tennouji. Most of the main characters are school girls who are personified versions of various firearms (the main character, Funco, is literally an FN FNC assault rifle). Submachine guns are grouped into Elementary School, assault rifles are in Middle School, and battle rifles are in High School. The series first aired on April 7, 2012 and is simulcast in English via Crunchyroll.com.
