Keidžo!!!!!!!!

One reviewer here delivers a harsh truth about fan service on her profile (I am not going to disclose her username; search!). I saw how true this statement was once again while watching the first episode of Hip Whip Girl: Keijo!!!!!! (it really has too many exclamation points in the title.). When a girl wants to see fan service in an anime series with swimsuits, she goes for Free! although I have not seen that particular anime series. However, I suppose my idea is that a group of nice, well-proportioned boys parades around in swimsuits most of the time, dealing with their problems and being sensitive and charismatic. I do not know; I am just guessing that is what it is about because I have not even started watching Free! Why not? Because most guys are usually not interested in watching other men in swimsuits (even if they are only illustrations) and charismatic, sensitive male protagonists dealing with their problems would just be quite boring really. That is simply the reality of it. So OK, but what if a young man longs for some swimsuit fan service action? Well, there is Hip Whip Girl: Keijo!!!!!! What is that young man to expect? First and foremost, there will be some boobies (sorry for that particular term, although for certain bust sizes, I do not think any other description actually fits), then bottoms, then well-proportioned female bodies in swimsuits. Then, of course, there is some action, whether in the form of boobie to boobie fights or action along the lines of "you have got a tight ass, I have to feel it." There are the assorted whiny characters (because that is how some guys see women) speaking in different dialects (because that is exotic). There is maybe a hint of a narrative and some trouble may be lurking somewhere in the distance, lost among all the bagpipes. However, is there any need for a decent narrative? A substantial enough group of men are going to assume the English word "plot" is just another name for deep cleavage anyway, so who cares? Unfortunately, Jeoffrey needs a lot more to be entertained by anime series these days than just fan service and action. So my prediction regarding this show is probably this - the main female protagonist is going to be competing against other well-proportioned classmates in most of the episodes; her cute ass and boobies will get to know many other asses and boobies in some dynamic contests. She is going to learn the latest crazy techniques and meet lots of friends and rivals, each with a unique character and way of speaking. At least once per episode, there will be some "close contact" between the girls outside the pool (in the first episode, the main female protagonist + the blonde girl). We get a look at the spa in the middle of the anime series because those assets need to be shown in other ways than merely restricted to a swimsuit. Plot-wise, it is going to be the same as ninety-nine percent of classic sports anime series, so competitions, wins, losses, training, camaraderie, and rivalries. There will either be a tournament or an important test in the end. If there is going to be a test, then the female protagonist is going to shine. If, however, there is going to be a tournament, then the female protagonist is going to finish second with the realization that she still has some way to go, and the audience is going to realize that there is probably going to be a second season in the works. This anime series is going to be very popular because there is pretty much everything an ecchi fan (usually a young male in the fifteen to twenty-five-year-old age bracket, even though there is also a decent portion of males over twenty-five years old) could want. On top of that, there are the standard shonen action scenes (again, usually targeted at young males aged fifteen to twenty-five years old) and a certain amount of the drive that sports anime series have. In other words, if I were fifteen again, I might have my tongue hanging out drooling and throw five stars away. However, the older a person gets, the more their preferences change. So I would rather gush over the cuteness of the little Lolita girls in frilly magical girl costumes, or playing table tennis that makes me smile, or the odd interesting girls playing brass instruments or fighting the Third Reich. I am going to keep waiting to see if I get a decent, interesting narrative this season to engage my brain. This is because that is precisely the organ I want to get my blood pumping around while watching anime series. Hip Whip Girl: Keijo!!!!!! is a dream come true for fans of swimsuits and erotic anime series. For Jeoffrey, however, this is yet another anime series that is dropped without a rating after the first episode. (2016.10.06) (kevesebbet) (több)
