Uchuu Patrol Luluco (Space Patrol Luluco) is a quick little short about a young thirteen year old girl named Luluco living with her father, who works for their city’s Space Patrol (like a police force). In their city of Ogikubo, aliens and humans can live together, resulting in a city that is full of very unusual, out of this world things, nevermind what that implies about its inhabitants. Luluco hates Ogikubo, trying instead to be very “normal” in a city where things are very unusual. In her eyes, the less attention drawn to her the better.
On this particular morning, Luluco is getting to eat breakfast with her father, something which is not the norm because he works a lot and isn’t home much.
However he accidently eats a space capsule he “confiscated” from work, and is turned into a giant iceberg. Luluco freaks out and rushes him to the Space Patrol office where he works, where she is greeted by his alien boss Over Justice. 
Over Justice offers Luluco a deal: in exchange for defrosting her father and returning him to normal, she will go undercover for the Space Patrol at her middle school. Why? The Space Patrol can’t interfere in an environment where there are kids, by the sound of it, so they have no authority at her school. She’d be a temporary space worker fighting “mysterious space crime.” It is not shown whether she agrees to this deal or not.
Luluco makes it to school on time that morning, but is dismayed to find that she has midterms. As she’s sitting in class, an alarm goes off on her head. No that’s not a typo. One of her classmates is cheating on the exam, and before she can do anything, her Space Patrol Suit transforms her a la magical girl-style into an officer, complete with a bubble helmet. As her teacher and classmates ogle her new look, her suit morphs her body into a gun and fires at the offending classmate as he tries to flee the room.
My thoughts: I initially thought that this show looked a lot like Dead Leaves, what with this style of exaggerated animation, but upon seeing that Trigger was the studio producing this show, I can see that it’s also very reminiscent of their other show Kill la Kill.
This show’s style of humor is not really my thing; it reminds me a lot of Family Guy, where jokes are sometimes beaten into the ground before the show will move on. Plus wtf was with the purple-haired lady patting her hands all over Luluco’s body? Was it some sneaky magical suit implantation…? And I’m probably reading too much into it, but I wasn’t thrilled with having the barrel of the gun stemming from between her legs either. :/
I… am not sure what to think of this show yet. It’s trying to be cute, and in some regards it succeeds, but I really don’t like how spazzy and over-the-top it is. I’m not sure if I’m going to continue with it, but will give it the usual three episodes because I want to see how the introduction of Alpha Omega Nova is handled.
