SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist (TV) Genres: Comedy, Ecchi, Romance, School Life, Shounen Themes: Underwear, Terrorist, Student Council Plot Summary: It's 16 years after the "Law for Public Order and Morals in Healthy Child-Raising" banned coarse language in the country. Tanukichi Okuma enrolls in the country's leading elite public morals school and is soon invited into the Anti-Societal Organization (SOX) by its founder, Ayame Kajō. As a member blackmailed into joining by Ayame, Tanukichi ends up taking part in obscene acts of terrorism against the talented student council president and his crush Anna. ---------------------------------- Haha, this series has so many unorthodox ideas packaged into one. I remember the preview that got released not so long ago and was questioning myself what the hell I just watched. And anyways, this is going to be amusing ride. I mean, the female MC is hard to eyes off of...

Ahahahaha, oh this series and its logic. So ....according to the logic, it's considered a crime/terrorism to blunt out lewd things in public..
And that beginning scene, they even have a swat force to take out indecency things and arrest individuals who are in possession of lewd material. Surprisingly, I laughed at more this more than I had expected. That fly porn at the end though...seriously, this is THE guilty pleasure of the season. |

I enjoyed it quite a bit, though it does sadden to think there are lots of people out there, on this site too, who will look at the system in place here and go "YES! THIS IS HOW THE WORLD SHOULD BE!!!"
Some prudes can be so hyper sensitive and I'm glad this show is sticking it to them. |

One can look at this series in two ways
It's making a point about censorship. It's obviously against it, or, at the very least, against censorship so intrusive that it leads to disinformation and is enforced through violence. The world in this anime also seems to apply on the logic of "the accused needs to prove they are innocent" rather than the contrary, and it seems to be against that too. Or It's making some reeeeeally contrived world to set up as many genital jokes as possible. Either way, it's freaking great. I hope it doesn't run out of steam, though, there are only so many sex jokes one can make. |

I think the well of sex jokes is probably the deepest, richest, and most ancient well of human humor.

I'd go with this, as it's pretty clear they're making reference to that Youth Ordinance Bill thingy that got passed a few years ago. It's a slippery slope that could potentially lead to such an extreme. It's within the realm of possibility, too. Just look at how people flip out when there's a little nudity or parents who throw a fit over the new sex ed curriculum. They want to shelter their kids from the 'evils' of sex and that breeds ignorance in youth as we see here.
What gave you that idea? The collars go off when a naughty word is said so there's your proof of guilt. Or are you refering to that guy being accused of molesting that woman? Unfortunately that's how it works in real life today. No one will believe a man who claims innocence in such a situation. |

Episode 1
We know it is meant to be lowbrow ecchi jokes, and done to create drama, but it actually creeps me out. Really is not that out there that something like this could happen, and seeing High School students so ignorant about it, it is really horrible. We have had some pretty crazy laws in the past, and even now days you get some pretty messed up stuff where things are just not allowed to be talked about. When I was younger I was totally in the innocent sort of group, did not understand stuff, and because people around make a fuss you get kind of scared when you start to learn a little. As an adult now, I do really see that actually talking about stuff is the best. I remember when I was in puberty, I just discovered media that could get a certain reaction out of me, and my USB with them on it ended up with the vice principal, if that did not feel like my world was falling on top of me. I am actually of the belief that some messed up strict decency laws can totally create criminals. Making the population sexually frustrated because they are not meant to even think about something, can make bad them do something they should not. On how this episode handled the topic, which should be what is important to talk about here, I thought that it was kind of clumsy. The jokes really were not that funny, and there has to be more to sexuality than sexy girls in those photos right, especially if the character wants liberation for both genders. |

I'm sure I never envisioned the day where I'd say a woman doing voiceovers for fly sex demonstrates the potential of a show, but here we are. I'm really hoping they manage to keep enough creativity and wit in the show to keep it going, since I see a big risk of it getting stuck in a rut.

Episode 2
I think Anna might have been the most entertaining part of this episode, especially if they continue the strict moral attitude yet oblivious to something right in front of her. She liked the picture. I would actually enjoy this more if it stays a little like this. My major concern continues to be fitting the preferences of both genders. Actually I had the thought. Hasn't there been major problems in the past of declining birth rates, and some of this would be counterintuitive to that sort of thing. |

So who here is willing to admit they recognised the pool that got blown up?

I remember there was another anime that made a joke about 'that pool' and I learned what the joke was about then, but I can't actually remember what this anime was |

With how strong Anna seems to be, perhaps the real Anna is dead and the one we see now is some sort of purity-powered android created at the behest of her elite parents.
