History Anime / HenkeiShoujo

Yeah, [[WidgetSeries it's that kind of show]]. It's something that really has to be seen to be believed, so [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLmXnpdINkA here is all five episodes]] for the morbidly curious.

Well...the title of this series translates to ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Transforming Girls]]'', and oh boy [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs does it ever deliver on that premise]].

* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: The {{Transformation Sequence}}s are animated with 3D models that look drastically different from the rest of the show's visuals.

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Rin's short breaks from the usual "rescue" formula and is mostly about Hiromi watching the spectacle unfolding in front of her.
* OnlySaneMan: Hiromi, the gray-haired girl who pops up frequently in the shorts, seems to be the only person in the shorts' universe who gives anything resembling a reaction to the titular transforming girls.
* RobotGirl: The transforming girls may be essentially this.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Nobody else besides Hiromi reacts (or even seem to notice) the titular girls, even when they start transforming.

* BritishBrevity: Five episodes, all just a minute long, making the whole series a mere 5-minute sit.
* ButtMonkey: The majority of Hiromi's encounters with the transforming girls don't do anything to improve the situation she's in. Haru transforms into a jet to retrieve her hat when it blows away in the wind, but doesn't actually return it. Rin drinks out of the gas nozzle she was using to fill her car, and essentially cheats her out of some money. Nana transforms into a battleship when her inflatable raft loses air out at sea, but is too small to climb onto and just sits there on the surface. Arisa is the only one who actually helps her, as Itsuki only transforms to pose for her.
