Spacer Patrol Luluco (宇宙パトロールルル子) is a 13 episode sci-fi comedy created by the people at Trigger. It aired in Japan over the Spring of 2016.
Luluco is an ordinary middle school student, living an ordinary life with her ordinary dad who happens to be a detective for the Space Patrol. He is accidentally frozen one day during breakfast and Luluco takes him to the local Space Patrol headquarters. She is forced to cover for him as a member of the Space Patrol while they figure out how to thaw him. Her first mission is to uncover crimes at her school.
Right away her duty as a member of Space Patrol kicks in to thwart a student cheating. As she goes to arrest him her body morphs into a giant gun, in order to deliver justice. She is then partnered with a mysterious boy named Nova to further combat evil at her school. The plot they uncover could lead to the destruction of the universe as they know it!
I have never been a fan of Triggers output, I respect it for the uniqueness and creativity, but it has never done much to entertain me. This is the first series that remotely kept me entertained but still didn't do much for me. It is standard Trigger fair, over the top, insane and hi octane. What they do, they do well and they deserve the accolades they earn...but it's not really my style. I decided to stick this one out given how short it was and in the end it wasn't bad. They hinted at a possibility of more at some point, but who knows when given the new FLCL episodes on the horizon. If more does come out I will probably casually watch it. The artwork is typical of Trigger, stylized, absurd and fast paced. They are a solid company when it comes to what they do and show that portions of the industry still have the drive to produce quality work.
The series was simulcast on Crunchyroll and there is no word on any sort of video release in the future.
