I’m not gonna say I blame you. I took one for the team here.

I seriously couldn’t stand watching this show, I dropped it half way through ep 2 xD

Pretty much, although I think it entirely defeats the purpose. I don’t think many of these series are terribly successful despite the marketing campaigns, which in turn is kind of why the JP industry is slumping–it’s not too many bishoujo series, it’s too many of the wrong kind of bishoujo series.

The funny thing about these sorts of series is that they never (or very rarely) produce doujin.

My guess is that they’re usually cheaply animated, poorly designed, and even more poorly written from anything but a lulz perspective. Thus you don’t end up with a lot of compelling characters.

The appeal of doujins comes from getting into sexful situations with your favorite characters, right? So, without the appealing characters the doujins become more “generic pornographic comics.” I mean, the main girl here is basically cute enough but lacking in personality so it doesn’t matter to a doujin reader if it’s her or any other large-breasted cute girl. Just a theory.

I suppose it does add a little something to see the origin of the flying panties, but it’s really pretty funny on its own and I don’t blame you for missing the rest.

Yes. Cultural value. What you said.

This seems counter-intuitive but I’m sure it’s because even Japan thinks they’re terrible.

Flying panties.

I just catch it on youtube whenever I feel like. Don't need all that 20-odd minutes of lead-in to ruin my fun. It's strange that with so much stupid anime available online, the last couple of things I saw that were truly awful I actually paid to see, e.g. Mamma Mia, Gamer, Dragonball Evolution. lol Hollywood. Somehow always worse than I remember.

Aha! The fourth post in a series. You should have a separate category for this now so these posts are easily searchable. After all, their significance and cultural value are beyond argument.
