Boku no kanodžo ga madžime sugiru šobitch na ken

I was wrong; this is not a typical ecchi anime series, where there is some innocent seduction and there is repeated unwanted falling onto people, touching, and shyness. That is not what this is about at all because this ecchi anime series delivers the ultimate tirade of double entendres and silly sex jokes with the firepower of a Russian AK-47 Kalashnikov automatic assault rifle. So instead of seeing the oft-repeated and tired situations you normally get from this genre, we get entirely new and unique tropes. Every scene is loaded with absurd double entendres and sexual innuendos. Even though these are by no means unintentional, they are pretty deliberate because the squad here is a bunch of those typical teenagers who talk about sex all the time (except for the main male protagonist, who is as always the usual innocent victim). They constantly need to make innuendos, and as it happens, the one who talks about it the most is not getting any sex. Plus, sex is discussed in every possible different way, with the latest sixth episode being absolutely perfect. There are the classic heterosexual jokes, and then because we are now in 2017 when everything just has to be politically correct, we also have allusions to yuri (girls’ love) and even yaoi (boys' love). This anime production is quite original and thus managed to keep me engaged (if not very entertained) for half of the season. The problem, though, is that it is not that original in its execution, and the same concept is used repeatedly. For example, a situation comes up with the main couple; the main female protagonist drops a few innuendos and turns each of the male protagonist's responses into a double entendre. It is then repeated, and another female protagonist appears. However, this time she is with the main couple and throws in a few innuendos on, say, the classic and popular topic for the Japanese, incest (or the main character's mom comes in and they make MILF jokes, etc.). Another female character appears, and she makes allusions to lesbianism, and finally, another male character appears, and he makes homoerotic allusions and gay jokes. Eventually, the situation somehow builds up and resolves with the main couple's mutual understanding of how much they love each other. Then suddenly, there is a new situation, and everything is, give or take, repeated yet again. When you notice this, you wait to see who is going to be put center stage and what note the jokes will be on for the next minute. It might even work if the jokes changed a bit, like at least the themes or whatever, however, they are all just a bunch of teenage sex references. I think sexual innuendo is fine if you are fifteen and even I still make those sorts of jokes occasionally. However, everyone realizes at some point that even repeating such jokes means they stop being funny after a certain time or age. So I dropped this after episode six, although I have to appreciate that this approach to the show, if they toned it down a bit, could have been another way to resurrect my interest in the ecchi genre. (I probably would have loved this show at the age of fifteen). 4/10. (15.11.2017) (mniej) (więcej)
