Shimoneta to Iu gainen ga sonzai shinai taikutsu na sekai

This show is hilarious. It's also very sexual. I can almost guarantee it will make you laugh. Its about a world where all vulgar language, porn, and anything that isn't "pure and good-hearted" is completely banned and illegal. A terrorist group called sox is trying to bring all of that back. There is some sequences of what people would call sexual assault that is borderline rape. Except all of these scenes are absolutely hilarious in my opinion. I recommend it to young men who are at least over the age of 13.

(7.5/10) A funny anime with all the dirty jokes you could ever want. This series is funny, full of action, and the character developement was decent but in end it was left open to interpretation on what would happen next which was a little dissapointing. I was hoping for the relationships between the characters to play out a little more but overall it was an enjoyable series.

'Shimoneta' is set in a near future where everything even vaguely sexual has been outlawed. The protagonist is roped into the "erotic terrorist" group SOX, trying to educate their high school in all things carnal by spreading dirty pictures.

While amusing for a few episodes, the dirty humor soon becomes grating, devolving from fairly clever innuendo into the secondary protagonist yelling vulgar words at opportune moments. Similarly, the reasonably fun slice-of-life approach suddenly turns into an over the top action-based mess where a panty-obsessed fetishist commits mild but genuine terrorism. There's also a non-con subplot of the female-love-interest-turned-creepy-stalker forcing herself onto the protagonist, because the writers thought that's funny I guess.

Issues with the story aside, the characters are fleshed out fairly well, the animation is good, the soundtrack does its job, and even the English dub is solid.

All in all, 'Shimoneta' is light-hearted fun, primarily targeted at male teenagers who think that yelling genital-related words is funny. I found a bit of a slog after the first few episodes, but it was amusing enough.

What can be said about a anime series that although based off a manga / light novels where most of the creative-work was already done, managed to capture the necessary-conflict between prim-prunes, and irreverent-hentai, that both Japan, and the WORLD, needs to see?

Inevitable everywhere, but again, not everyone chooses to lead in this regard, and there is something to be said here for reform and it's opposites as the latter of the two struggle in our accelerating technological revolution & societal adjustments to it,

that said, some of the references unique or more familiar to Japanese audiences might go over many's heads, but i didn't have a problem with that,

this series can be watched in a take-it-lightly way, without needing to google every word and reference you don't understand,

mainly because of it's well set-up character-conflict dynamics - the monster that is Anna, and the resolute Ayame, with poor old Okuma inbetween like a slice of meat in a sandwich, both bizzarely parallel forces in the school, one two-faced and insane, the other conflicted but committed to their choice,

this series actually portrays a 'necessary-evil', VERY well, in that regard, while the hypocrisy, molestations, sexual-assaults, and outright attempted-rape BY Anna, are in constant contrast to the good chosen-level of reversal of policy aimed for by SOX, a misunderstood protest-group, really.

Called terrorists though, they struggle under the scapegoating oppression of TOO-civil society, and encounter a few further manifesations of the same pressure-creating-monsters rather than a more reasonable balance preventing them,.. along the way - my favourite, gathered fabric, with it's defiant suave? There's another word for it.. .consumate? Leader white peak, who i was surprised when i first watched it, could not be tolerated by the low-bets overly careful but-tactful Ayame.

Her wisdom prevails in the end, in better-understanding the context they're in, in not pushing things too far else risk the falling into the traps of the machievellian emotional-blackmail & similar machinations of the morality-pushers behind the oppressive system, preferring instead for GRADUAL reversal to balance,

but i could not help but agree and sympathise with White Peak, in his point about the world being insane, and "needing to be destroyed",

and the same with Kosuri's line that "thee people are no better than my decrepid father", and another about pandering at one point ;

There is a lesson to be learnt there, about irreverence, and who historically has backed it while being at the same time, pressured by especially religion.

It's a lesson already taught & remembered though, so it doesn't need to become overly-political, the constant refusal to stop doing her wordplay puns and double-entedres constantly frustrating Okuma, still brings a smile to my face most scenes when i watch it again.

Probably not suited for too-young an audience,

it definately has a, well, several points to make, and does so while also have a laugh all-throughout, but does still succeed in making a few tender moments when the generation we're following, find the efforts of their immediate past generations, which RE-FRAMES the questions the series raises, into more than just the immediate questions posed by the pushers of the control systems - their focus is narrow, but even just these handful of kids, can realise and discover that it's a much longer conflict with more depth than at-first might not appear, that especially the information suppression, is to be despised and defied, even if differences between groups mean that different groups have to part ways on some issues - more of that in more episodes with gathered fabric, could've portrayed that too, with some successes in cooperations painting more of a optimistic potential from the multiple groups (mostly)common ground,

but as i understand it, the series wound up doing less than perhaps it could've.

A second series then!

A wider picture/setting, and Q.s moreso public-indecency than personal-liberty?

SOX's timid limits of their ambitions, did limit how much the series could take on.

BUT, to be fair, it was consistent both in terms of what the group DID, and what they SAID, they were about,

so it was a integral struggle, in terms of their manifesto matching their deeds. Gathered fabric or similar groups would have to admit that, i think.

---------------

This world, IS insane, though, he's right.

It DOES, still, need to be destroyed,

Groups like SOX have their limits.

So do YOU,.. if you keep society's ball & chain dragging you back, like Ayame did.

Well, to give you a quick rundown of my own experience, I've been watching anime since the 1990s, and reading manga/manhua/manwha since the 2000s. Now that that is out of the way;

This series is good, if you can stomach it. I was red with embarrassment the entire time. I was laughing, screaming, stunned, the list goes on. I have never been caught so off guard before. The amount of times I had to pause each episode just to regain my composure was ridiculous.

I don't care much for comedies anymore, especially in anime, because it normally supersedes anything of meaning. I don't even know how I stumbled onto this series. Nonetheless, I'm glad I did.

Forgive me if my review is not as professional as one would like. This is my first review of IMDb. For whatever reason, I needed to express my thoughts on this series, and thus I came here.

Story - 7/10 Decent. The premise is honestly not bad. We can all imagine what it would be like if society, especially the youth, were repressed more so than they are today. Through comedy, this series shows how ridiculous it is to suppress natural healthy feelings, especially naughty ones I guess haha.

Characters - 7/10 Likeable. Each character is likeable. I personally am not fond of the artist, and our main female protagonist grates on my nerves a little, but generally speaking, everyone is interesting and likeable. I was enthralled and just wanted to see more of the characters and how they grow from their experiences.

Art - 7/10 Cute and appealing. I have a particular art style I like, and to me, this anime is mostly an average artwork. Stepping outside of my experiences, cute and appealing sound fitting for it. It's not ground-shattering, but it doesn't have to be to be good.

Music - Honestly no idea, the story got me so cracked I could barely pay attention to any musical themes that were playing for almost any scene.

This anime is not safe for work. It's not safe around your parents. It's absolutely not safe for kids 17 and under. It's barely safe for your own sanity. If you are having a rough day, if you're depressed, if you want something borderline hentai, watch this. You can finish it in a day, and you'll be dying the entire time.

• P. S. When you get to the cookie scene, understand this, I do not know what I would have done if I were him. If the circumstances were more appealing to me, would I be okay with it? I genuinely don't know. I've been in healthy relationships, done a lot of experimenting, have had lots of fun, but this? Yikes.
