Shimoneta https://myanimelist.net/anime/29786/Shimoneta_to_Iu_Gainen_ga_Sonzai_Shinai_Taikutsu_na_Sekai There is a meme that has been going around the anime community for quite a while known only as "lewd" the origin is unknown and it appears in several titles. It's to a point where it seems like some works are self aware of it. If I had to describe Shimoneta in one word "lewd" would be it. The anime takes place in a world where things deemed indecent are banned and only one person can save us from the lack of dirty jokes, ero-terrorist Blue Snow. The setting is fairly simple, for whatever reason strict morality laws went into effect so things like porn, hentai, and anything that could be seen as "dirty" were quickly banned. But that's not all, eventually it trickled into the school system and things like sex education so basically every person outside of a few select characters know anything about stuff related to sex in the first place. This of course leads to some amusing situations when they are basically exposed to it for the first time. The main character, Ayame Kajou aka Blue Snow is great. She has to add a dirty phrase to everything, like innuendo is not in her dictionary because everything she does is completely blatant. There is also Anna Nishikinomiya, a girl who seems completely pure, but turns into basically a sexual stalker for the main male character, Tanukichi Okuma. It also has a girl who draws ecchi pictures with her mouth because some sort of technology can tell when it's done by hand and Hyouka Fuwa a student scientist who wants to find the secrets of "body melding". In terms of the characters I like, that would be about all of them. But I especially like Fuwa because every time I see her I know it's going to be funny. The comedy in the show comes in spikes. It has sections where it's amusing but eventually it leads up to some truly hilarious moments. Okuma is really the only "normal" character in the show with everyone else pretty much being a deviant in some way. Surprisingly despite the overall content there is not a lot of actual fan service in the show. Like there is fan service, but a lot of it is just too funny to really pay much attention to. Shomoneta doesn't really require any real anime to watch and any actual cultural references (mostly censorship laws) are probably understandable from any standpoint. It really comes down to if you're willing to sit through one of the most sexually charged comedies of the decade. 28. Flip Flappers https://myanimelist.net/anime/32979/Flip_Flappers Cocona is a normal teenage girl but one day she meets a mysterious girl named Papika and travels to a mysterious place known as "pure illusion" they will have to use the powers they have in the realm to fight not only the monsters that reside there but also others who look to utilize the powers found in pure illusion for themselves. Flip Flappers is basically a magical girl show complete with transformations and everything. The show seems disconnected at first but episodes and themes start to come together later on. It can be hard to follow as the pure whimsical nature of the show as the overall subtlety until later on can make it difficult to connect all the dots. Still each individual episode is wonderful to watch. If I had to point a particular weakness it would be the overall cast. They are more players in a type of grand opera. They fill their roles well but none of them are really that interesting or even memorable. The real strength is in the presentation and direction of each episode. As from a visual standpoint the show has some good animation mixed with a more old school style artwork. Flip Flappers is not for everyone and doesn't quite break any new ground, but its interesting take and unique presentation is sure to be something that make someone interested at least. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:887413465] in Kokoro's t...
