So one of the new shows this season has been Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist, and I’ve been hearing rave reviews about its comedic genius and although it is ecchi as hell, I was told it was worth it. So I decided to check it out. God damn…
This show takes place in a world where the concept of sex, dirty jokes basically anything vulgar has been outlawed in Japan and a radical terrorist group (named SOX) consisting of Japanese school students (I mean who else is more qualified?) led by Kajou Ayame who duals as our Panty Mask Terrorist; Blue Snow fighting against them. Also the show features our plain and simple yet slightly dim-witted main character, Okuma Tanukichi who finds himself roped in with SOX.
Plot: Original concept, had a nice natural flow but falls flat midway through the series and reuses many of the same comedic bits over and over. The redundancy and repetitive nature of it leads to a classic case in which the rest of the series does not hold up to the first arc.
Visuals: Consists of your standard Japanese animation style, no complaints here.
Music: Nothing special , could’ve done without the over-pronunciation of “sexcalibur” in the intro.
The first scene was actually really funny where the SWAT team cracks down on this gang reading dirty magazines. It gave me flashbacks to my highschool days, when we caught a student rubbing one out in the school library while trying to convince me that he wasn’t beating off with his hand deep down his pants and porn blaring on the computer. The term deer in headlights doesn’t do justice.
Anyways,the first few episodes were actually enjoyable but the plot slowed down immensely and the dirty jokes were only as funny the first 45847389432526 times I heard it. And yet i dragged on as noble warriors must, but for me, the breaking point was Anna.
Anna is this character who just…embodies your worst sexual fantasy and then makes it 1000x worse. Not trying to spoil this for anyone who has the balls to watch this show after reading this, but it got to the point where I would cringe watching this show, hoping she doesn’t show up. Homemade love nectar cookies made from……her. Like actually from her, like from her bodily fluids. Borat does it 1000x better with his my wife made this cheese from her tits routine.
I have a personal creed where even if I hate a show I try to finish it, but I just had to call it quits when I was on episode 6 or 7 and Anna just releases a surprise on our main character’s face. Porn would have been more appropriate no seriously, porn would have been a better watch at least I’d have gotten a hard on.
My brother was just passing by when this scene was unfolding and he still wont look at me. I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m some sort of sexually deprived deviant who’s going to go out the same way as the brazillian kid who wacked off 57 times to his grave.
Yes, the innuendos were funny at first, and yes the concept was nice and original but it got to the point where it was unbearable and I stopped enjoying the show completely. The innuendos became the show and plot itself. Tasteless crude innuendos.
I don’t mind the occasional ecch but i don’t even know what to classify this as. Now excuse me while i convince my family otherwise.
so thats basically the show. Girl let me have some of that love nectar
Verdict: Pass, nothing special to see
