Mangirl!

It´s a funny happy-go-lucky miniseries about 4 women, who start working in a field they know little to nothing about, but get by each working day with gusto and learning on the go. It is even more impressive considering how naive, childish and inexperienced the editor-in-chief is, who is among the 4 women. She is also the scourge of a lot of the comedy.
They each have their own distinctive personality. If you think their personalities lack dept, that we are looking at a total of approximately 40 minutes screen time. With that in mind, I think the characters are well fleshed out considering the ... timeframe. We also get a satisfying conclusion to the plot despite the short time.

This next segment is not about "Mangirl!" in particular, but more a little rant on a lot of people's attitudes regarding miniseries.
I also think that this show (and a lot of miniseries in general) deserves a higher score than what it currently has on MAL. This is not just about this particular show, but short animes (each episode being 2-5 minutes long) in general. From what I see, it looks like a lot of people give short animes a lower score just for being short animes instead of scoring the show for what it actually delivers in of genre and promises.
That would be like if I (who does not like pure FPS shooters) rated a FPS shooter alone on the fact that I just don´t like FPS shooters, instead of looking at the actual game´s execution and its´ delivery and being aware of what is being expected for that sort of game.

Short animes work well with the comedy genre, but not with horror and very serious stories. At least from what I´ve seen.
I hope people will be better at distinguishing their own personal taste when it comes to genres and length, or at least be more aware of them, when rating a show. The reason I hope this, is because I think it would be a shame if a low score would end up preventing someone from watching an otherwise good show.
Until then; I´ve started to mentally add 1-2 extra points to the score I see given to a short anime since I think that often reflect the anime quality more correctly

I mean, it is not that it is bad at all, but to be honest didn't have so much hype about it.
If you want to watch a fun cute anime just to some time and don't have too many time to watch a long one, then this is definitely the anime for you. Otherwise, I would recommend watching something else.

The animation is cute, and the opening song is fun but the story is a little bit plain and rushed. Don´t expect something unusual or amazing because it is pretty predictable (it ends just how you expect it and all the characters have cliche ... personalities).

Decent at best not worth the watch. While no doubt the characters are cute and the background looks nice there is no covering the poor plot. Manga creation is a steady hard working job like most jobs. Requires skill, effort and a lot of money. They expect the viewers to be okay with the idea of not only an entire cast of amateurs trying their luck in the field but amounting to success? Sure, weird stuff has happened that can't be explained. Like what is up with area 51? Or the constant discovery of new creatures. But to say a gang of ... school girls will have what it takes to run a proper manga is too much.

Looking past the poor plot and into each episode's content we see no improvement. While there an occasional comical retort or scene it isn't enough to stop me from fixating on how fast the cycle of progression is. A good manga allows the reader or viewer to relax and sink into what is happening. It is not meant as an old fashion Garfield strip. The point being those strips were meant for seconds of time. Art was nice for those but the fun lied within the words. Once the word bubbles were read that was mainly it for strips. But with manga it is more complex. While they both share text and pictures they provide more impact. Pictures are more detailed. Words are not told in simple joke form but in story form. With that education provided imagine one's feelings to when after a set time of a little past three minutes the episode cuts off. Disappointment comes to mind.
