the story took place in a futuristic current age. in this world, robots were part of everyday life as they contributed in various aspects of society. Shinki was a mini sized robot created to assist humans. they were equipped with intelligence and emotions, devoting themselves in serving their Masters. the Busou Shinkis could be equipped with weapons to fight each other. Shinki Ann, Aines, and Lene served a high school boy named Masto, but things changed when a new shinki Strarf joined the trio.
despite having Busou or battle featured in its first episode, Busou Shinki (2012) wasn't what one expected. there were more comedy and slice of life such as Working! (2010-2011), Acchi Kocchi (2012), even Minami-ke (2007-2013). it was casual and lighthearted. the Shinkis were adorable at some point but that's as far as the anime went. too much expectation would only lead to disappointment.
