As the name suggests, Super Sonico the Animation is about a girl named Super Sonico. And who is Super Sonico? She's a college student, part-time model, part-time waitress, and she's in a rock band. Oh, and she has huge tits, a trait that is pointed out several times an episode. The show itself is pure slice-of-life. In three episodes, there is no real conflict that would drive the action, it just follows Sonico as she lives her life.
My biggest criticism of this show is that nothing happens. Well, that's kind of a lie, but what does happen is usually a lead up to put Sonico in a compromising position so that she gets all red and embarrassed. It's more than a little creepy, even if she is a college student. Also, the closest the show gets to showing Sonico's personality is the opening scene where she wakes up surrounded by her cats. All we know about her personality comes to us from that scene; she's an airhead who loves cats. And her titties. Can't forget her titties.

Even the half-way decent part of this show, the music, comes with its own shortcomings. While the rest of the show is animated in standard, run-of-the-mill 2-D, the music scenes are in a weird, creepy, uncanny valley 2.5-D style. It didn't work with last season's Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio, and it doesn't work here either.
It should come as no surprise that I fail Super Sonico the Animation. It is nothing more than a character study for a boring character. And by "character study", I mean "a chance to sexually objectify". It's a bad show, and one that can easily be skipped.
