So I've been watching the new currently airing seasonal "Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru", which is a fairly standard romcom, with the SoL setting centering around tailoring and especially cosplay. The characters are from your fairly average High School setting. The energetic otaku-fantasy girlfriend, who is energetic, bubbly, into weeb stuff and of course quickly starts getting attracted to the very introverted deuteragonist.

Sounds pretty average, right? And it is, it's no masterpiece or even good, but it's a decent enough anime when taking into consideration these elements.

Unfortunately, it is extremely horny. The third episode is basically 20 minutes of uninterrupted fanservice with the character of Marin Kitagawa (fem MC) being half-naked for purposes of Wakana Gojo (the Masc MC) taking measuring. That awful episode which didn't even have much plot relevance and could have been skipped or glanced over in one scene. The show has various of the usual horny elements, like sus camera angles, panty shots etc.. Nothing right of the ordinary, just as if you read like 5 pages into the manga, you get reminded about how the characters there are 15 years old... :yea:

Then as if it couldn't get worse, their relationship progresses and after an event they attend in Episode 5, a new character (which cameo-d in that one, which Marin identified as "young [...] probably in middle school or even grade school") is is introduced, as she wants to seek Gojo's aid in making a cosplay outfit. Of course, she's introduced to him in a scene where she is completely naked because of [generic ecchi anime excuse], and her genitalia is what he sees first. The episode also features several of the other horny techniques on the new character like panty shots etc.

And guess which anime is booming in popularity among mainstream weebs? :desolate:

I guess the lesson is don't watch anime shows, OVAs, Movies unless they're from 1999 or earlier and have at least a dozen reviews? I'm only half joking as well.

    Japan having very lax laws on CP until very recently (2014, iirc?), them establishing a foothold in the industry since the early 1980s "Lolicon Boom", which eventually broke into the anime mainstream around the year 2000 thanks to Eroge VN, the Moe character archetypes, harem anime, etc.?

    Though tbf these are all my assumptions, but in the end it all boils down to the Miyazaki quote: "Almost all Japanese Animation is produced by Humans who can't stand looking at other Humans. And that's why the industry is full of Otakus [note: obsessive, weeb-brained fans]"
