Produced by Studio 3Hz, which is mostly known for creating ‘Black Fox‘, ‘Rifle is Beautiful’ is lesser-known anime that focuses on the sport of target shooting. It also brings in some stale elements of slice-of-life that can be seen in pretty much every other similar show. Though there isn’t anything particularly novel about it, what makes it quite enjoyable is its vibrant characters. It also exudes a kind of relaxing atmosphere where you can just sit back and enjoy the adventures of some cute high school girls. At this point of time, not too many anime viewers are talking about it and it will probably be forgotten a bit too soon. But it’s still worth a shot if you’re just looking for an anime that is simple and pleasant.
Rifle is Beautiful Season 1 Release Date: When will it premiere?
‘Rifle is Beautiful’ is one of those “Cute Girls Doing Cute Things” anime shows which revolves around a sport. ‘Rifle is Beautiful’ season 1 premiered on October 13, 2019 and with a total of 12 episodes, we can expect it to end by January 2020.
The show has been adapted from a 4-koma manga and that’s one big reason why we’ll probably never get to see any more of it after season 1. But if everything works out well for the anime, the manga’s author, Akki Sarumi, might consider publishing new content for its season 2. From the looks of it, though it has received some positive reviews, its overall rating on most platforms is slightly below average. As unlikely as it may seem right now, if we get any confirmed news regarding its season 2 in the future, we will surely update it here in this section. Till then, you can check out other similar sports anime.

Rifle is Beautiful Plot:
With a range of 10 meters, a diameter of 1 meter and an overall capacity of 60 bullets, everyone’s all set for a gruesome Beamrifle Competition where the competitors only have 45 minutes to prove their worth. The sport of shooting might seem easy for an outsider but the girls of Chidori High School very well know how straining it can be at times. Kokura Hikari, the main protagonist of the series, is a first-year high school girl who absolutely loves rifle shooting. As soon as she joins the Chidori High School, she enrolls herself in the shooting club. But she soon discovers that the club has been disbanded and she only has a day to reform the club. She desperately searches for new members and is somehow able to find three more passionate shooters who, just like her, are determined to win the upcoming Beamfire Competition.
