Weeknight Watch

Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh, sci-fi fans and action fans.
The mood: Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace: 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 20 hours in all.
What might put you off: It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

While on a field trip to the Tokyo Tower, three middle school girls suddenly find themselves in another world and must save its princess to return home.
