My Girlfriend is Shobitch
EvanLoh
(Please be aware not to watch this series if you hate sex jokes or dirty jokes. PLEASE!) I started watching this series with my extremely low expectation. Hell, I even thought that this might just be another shitty anime short with shit animation. But I was wrong. After watching the first episode, I enjoyed it very much! For a fan of dirty jokes like me, this series is perfect! There's nothing more to discuss on this series. It's just an encyclopedia of dirty jokes. If you are a fan of those things, watch this, definitely watch this! It will definitely fulfill your inner desire. I would recommend this to those who like Seitokai Yakuindomo, both anime are extremely similar in a lot of ways.

To be honest, I was looking forward to My Girlfriend is a Faithful Bitch (Sho-Bitch for short) at the start of the season. From what I could see, it was a bunch of cute girls making fun of the MC by being as lewd as possible. It didn’t sound like anything amazing but it looked fun enough to give a try. I thought I was right with my judgement as the first few episodes were pretty funny and I genuinely enjoyed it. Then it just kept adding more and more characters, each lewder and dumber than the last one, and I slowly started to regret my decision. As I already said, I laughed at first. It didn’t do anything extraordinary with the comedy but it was funny nevertheless. However, the show tried to become more and more extravagant with its lewdness, devolving into forced gags every single episode. At first, it only had the generic MC, an airhead girlfriend who can’t figure out how to act in a relationship, and a childhood friend and little sister who were too close for comfort. This cast wasn’t much but the jokes they created were just enough to make most chuckle. That was until the cast slowly increased its numbers, which just overloaded the show. Each one would create misunderstanding after misunderstanding which got more and more unbelievable and unrealistic, throwing in an assortment of incest jokes, gay jokes, and public sex jokes. You just can’t laugh at a show where a transfer student says she loves playing with hairy boys, which is what she calls her dogs for whatever reason, or when the most popular kid in school (who also happens to be gay) helps the MC to get better at baseball, which somehow manages to look and sound like him giving him a handjob from afar. To make matters worse, it provides no breathing room as it transitions from scene to scene to show off the next new gag. The lack of a coherent flow just buries you under a mountain of bad comedy, making you want nothing more than to finish the episode already so you can be free of this torture. Sho-Bitch tries way too hard to make the character's every piece of dialogue as dirty as possible that the only thing you can do is sigh in disbelief, unable to understand why these characters are so fucking stupid. After a while, the only time I could laugh was when someone running around went head first into a desk, which I think is a good representation of how much I dislike the cast. In fact, I will go as far as to say that by the time I reached the halfway mark, I hated every single character and would love nothing more to watch the entire school burn to the ground in a fiery blaze. The romance isn’t much better. It tries to be really sweet all the time, like the MC thanking his girlfriend for trying to make him lunch, even though it sent someone to the infirmary when they tasted it, or him trying to look cool in front of her by practising hitting a home run in secret. It really would have been sweet if the build-up to the romance wasn’t riddled with the terrible humour mentioned above. When you can’t take the show seriously, everything suffers, and the romance suffered the most. Another reason would be the actual couple. I said before that I hate all of them, but I was actually fine with Shinozaki and Kousaka (along with a few others) at the beginning. It was somewhat cute watching Kousaka try (fail) to understand Shinozaki's fetish so she can be a better girlfriend, but you soon grow tired of it. She just ends up looking like a massive idiot. Shinozaki ain't any better, as he doesn't have a defining characteristic about him. He's just there to either make a comment after each gag or be added to the evergrowing pile of misunderstandings. His boring personality doesn't stand out at all, making him more uninteresting than a bag of rocks. It had a nice start. I’ll give Sho-Bitch that, but what followed shortly after is unforgivable. If I haven’t convinced you to avoid this show, then go for it. Proceed knowing the fact that you’ll probably be in excruciating mental pain as you try to force your way through this disaster disguised as entertainment. I know I said I enjoyed it at first, but giving this show a higher score just would not sit right with me.

Great comedy anime, reminds me of the amazing Seitokai Yakuin Domo. So, it's a great show for those who enjoy comedy, but if explicit jokes offend you, stay away from this. When it comes to characters, there's the mature ones, and the perverts, which creates many funny scenarios. There's not really any character development, but that's not the point for an anime like this anyway. The art is decent. It's the normal animation used nowadays. Can see that some money went into boobs physics. Nothing different or outstanding like Kujira no Kora or Hai to Gensou no Grimgar. The ops and eds are your typical anime music. Nothing that I like too much but combines with the show, and that's what matters. There's not really a story, here, just like Blend S or Himouto, things just happen, but here it's in a more funnier way. And I enjoyed this so much. It's been a while since an anime made me laugh so much, and that's what anime is about. Enjoyment. You may think you're the best because the underrated boring show is your favorite of the season, while "plebs" are loving black clover, shokugeki and this, but that kinda attitude is the reason you have no friends. Like that annoying girl from Youkai Apato. Don't force yourself into watching an anime. Don't like it? Go away. Enjoying it? Stay So that's why I give it an overall 9. I enjoyed this and had a good time. Not the best show. But one worth watching to relax and chill after a hard day or just anytime.

A SATISFYING ANIME for someone looking for light comedy WARNING: For someone who just watch onto a hyped action, shounen or drama type please cool down a bit before watching. Boku no Kanojo ga Majimesugiru Sho-bitch na Ken was a GREAT CHOICE anime for someone who likes dirty/fetish jokes. The truth is i even re-watch this series after a day i finished it. There were anime they said its good for the first time they watch it but this was the TYPE THAT GETS MORE ENJOYABLE ON SECOND WATCH. STORY: the girl want to know more about her partner on a slightly different approach(thru fetish jokes). "Story was slow" Oi!! their story starts on spring time and their time move slowly but many things happen. IT'S NOT YOUR NORMAL ANIME THAT JUMP SEASONS JUST FOR BIKINI AND SHRINE VISITING EVENTS... so many more should be coming if there was next season. ART: two different anime studios collaborated on this series so don't ask for consistency of animation "I ALSO SEE THE FLAWS BUT IT DIDN'T AFFECT THAT MUCH" for me. SOUND: nothing bad to mention but "ENDING THEME was TOO CUTE". CHARACTER: every character has their time to shine. They don't overlap other character that was important and "EVERY MAIN CHARACTER HAS THEIR UNIQUE TRAITS". ENJOYMENT: i re-watched it already after a day. Has a HIGH RE-WATCH VALUE for me to be honest. OVERALL: GREAT!!! GONNA KEEP THIS ONE UNTIL I FIND TIME TO WATCH THIS AGAIN

"PUUUUUTHWEEP PTUI!!!!!!!" That's me spitting on this anime, since it was more on the sexual innuendo that anything else, so what the fuck: Mediocre 5, Story: As I write this review I'm simply entertaining myself by listening an endless rewind of Gaston's Song of the 2017 Beauty and the Beast, but enough of that , the story itself was just as a spin off as that of another anime "Seitokai Yakuindomo" , except that they put a lot more green stuff in the sexual innuendo that in the other one, like putting them female characters in a situation as if they wanna get banged. Good 7, Art: Since we're in the topic of sex , here we get to see some panty flashes especially with Akiho in the opening and with Saori , but that's as good as it gonna gets. As for the boy's uniform , wtf is the illustrator thinking about the boys uniform when it come to their pants, I mean what's with putting some cuffs on the bottom part of their pants? They could have made it more simpler by just having them wear blue pants both in winter and summer attire without any fancy shimancy crime of fashion, then again when it come with the girls school uniform , well nobody can go wrong with it as long as the skirt is short. Fair 6, Sound: Well, since I have no comments about who did who, I'm just leaving this blank...... Poor 3, Character: So in every aspect we have a guy who's playing this goody in two shoes as he rebukes them girls sexual innuendo and green jokes, and as for the girls like Akiho, Shizuku, Kanata the imouto, Saori, Rina, sayo and gay guy Seiya were just soooo full of it. so, it is so poor poor. Fair 6 , Enjoyment: One silver lining about this anime was the relationship between between Akiho and Haruka, where we see them in a serious relationship, where it somehow, it is doing fine........and that's that. Poor 3, Overall: Everything were just soooo silly......that only a LeFou would rate this higher. Gaston OUT, PUUUUUTHWEEP PTUI!!!!!!!!I've spitted again.

I once read an review here on MAL on the anime "School Days", that said that the only value said anime had was for opening pickle jars or any activity involving "brute strength". The reason was that School Days made you so angry that you needed to relieve yourself of the aggression. Well, this anime doesn't even have that quality. It serves no purpose except waifu material but I can't see how anyone can stand any of these characters or their deranged obsession with innuendo. I'll try to just summarize the three Prime evils of this anime so you don't spend too much time even reading a review of this godawful anime. First, the sound. Dramatic Movies often tend to overuse simple piano music for their tender moments, or sometimes the background noise sounds very artificial. The sound team behind this anime have no sense of overuse and decided that Visual Novel background noise was the way to go. You know the saxophone solo from "Careless Whisper" by George Michael? Imagen hearing that over and over again with a saxophone being played by a guy with throat cancer. It will drive you insane if you don't gnaw your own legs off. Second, the animation. It is not the worst animation quality I've seen, but it's up there with the likes of salad fingers. But salad fingers is redeemed. This anime isn't. They have loads of animation errors, routine misuse of the human anatomy that will persist throughout the show. And the background is just as bad as the foreground but in a lazy carefree way. Your eyes are getting tortured by two different technics at the same time. And finally. The writing. Someone, a human like you and me, wrote the script of this anime and said it was okay. The inhuman use of bad innuendo is remarkable if this show has one thing going for it it's the effort they put in to make every sentence available to innuendo. They have destroyed any hint of a story for the sole purpose to have a couple of sex jokes. In Summation. This anime will leave you brain-dead, blind, legless and with no pickles on your sandwich. Nothing against the author of the Review from School Days, it was a great review wich shared some of my views.

0 SPOILERS CONTAINED UNLESS YOU COUNT ME EXPOSING THIS FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS AT HEART. So, my friend notices an upcoming, very eye-catching anime named Sho-bitch coming out a month before it's released, and tells me we HAVE to watch it. And, after the buildup of a whole month's wait for this new show is spent fantasizing over how cool something named Sho-bitch could possibly be, we find that this anime is merely a light novelty. Clearly, the show's story is going nowhere interesting whatsoever. The characters are just unfathomably easy to HATE. All the female characters act like impure harlots with minds that contain severe psychological trauma. And, the sho-bitch herself is a total freak. There is a wacky, cheesy, disgusting, unfunny booby / weewee joke around every single corner of the show too. The show in and of itself is nothing what I expected from the previews. I thought this would be about a pure romance between two real lovers, not miscellaneous horny freaks running amok. And that's another thing. Sho-bitch seems random for no reason; as if the writers are just lazy. No characters have any depth at all whatsoever so far. The story is without meaning. No particularly memorable or truly interesting dialogue, only greasy interactions between male and female, occasionally female on female. This anime probably only exists for horny 13 year olds to watch to see what their fresh pubescence has in store for them. There is nothing of value for a mature audience here. If you too are mature, looking for some show that's funny and entertaining while running with a romantic aspect to the show, trust me, and do not waste your time watching this garbage. It's completely worthless.

Everything rateable in the world should be rated in relation to what it aims to achieve, and no one kind of art is superior or inferior to others. Two statements that are central to the defence of Shobitch that I will try now, having taken a peek at the three out of four scored one reviews on the front page at the moment. I think this deserves better than that. And such, I mean, it's underrated. What does Shobitch try to do that they don't really succeed to? In essence it's a lewd joke show with romance in large doses, which is clear on the title, clear on the poster and clear in the synopsis, and should have been clear to the viewer, and it simply delivers just that. Does it fail in the jokes? It doesn't. They basically throw every sex joke they can think of on the wall, take everything including the jokes that don't stick and barrage the viewer with it for 20 minutes straight- and I'd say everyone would find at least a few that sticks every episode, surely. This is more than I can say for much of the other comedy anime, or any anime that procures comedy as part of it to be fair. Maybe because of the language barrier, it's very hard to find comedy anime sketches that genuinely make you lose your breath, and even if sex jokes is a rather easy way to achieve universal larger-than-smirk laughs they do achieve and I'd have to commend them for that. Does it fail in the romance? No. This is a preference thing, but because they are polar opposites in tone I'd expect most people to at least like one out of Akiho and Shizuku- and they both have lots of scenes that can satisfy the viewers. They even take time out of every episode to develop the relationship somewhat and endear the couple to the viewers in a different tone. Does it beat around the bush and become a frustrating drawn out romance? Nah again, they set it in stone in the first episode and run with it, to the point and without any frills, without any embarrassment. What's not to like? Then is there any huge problems that drag the show down? Obnoxious as fuck characters? Not really. Stale writing? No, I'd even write it in as a compliment. Bad visuals? It's definitely cheap, but it's adequate enough. This kind of show is just fine with this level of art. Does it get boring at any point? Absolutely not. Frantic, fast every minute. Then why's the score a 6? Much of the jokes still don't really work(naturally, per above), there wasn't a 'great' episode and there's an innate cheapness that is hard to deny. But are there any fatal faults that warrant such a low score, as is currently? No. Not for me.

[No spoiler review] It's ironic that I just wrote that disclaimer, considering I'm about to tell you that there is nothing to spoil - unless of course you consider what is already a stale and flavourless anime as something worth consuming. If you haven't notice by the score and opening line, I didn't enjoy this show, and don't think it's worth your time - which could be better spent proving Obama is white. Initially the anime draws you in with an interesting snippet from a future episode, one that was audacious and just screamed "This anime is filled with ironic and over the top sexual humour". And then we a greeted with the generic male protag who's just the observer/victim in this adventure and plays the all so important task of commenting on everything in the most unoriginal way possible. By this point you'll realised you've found what anime archaeologists call "cliche". It doesn't get any better from there with the full generic set of side character who felt like they need a pair of square brackets with the words "Insert unique characteristics" embedded in them. "Alright, it had generic character, what anime doesn't?" - You say. While I can't expect every anime to have a totally original set of characters with an unheard of combinations of traits, I expect it to use it's generic base structure to construct a unique plot or series of situations that I haven't seen more than a dozen times before. And unfortunately the anime fails to do that with the set ups for jokes always being ones that almost force you to roll your eyes as you anticipate the sexual comedic situation that they thought up - which are barely on par with the comedic product of a 7th grader new to puberty giggling over the mention of the word "Penis" in his biology classes. It come nowhere near the lever as Seitokai Yakuindomo which had it's petty boring moments but created an elaborate twist of events that lead to funny misunderstanding and setups for really good puns and clever sex jokes. Here we get no elaborate situation outside of the characters looking at people in the wrong angle - hence misunderstanding a situation that takes effort to misinterpret. It starts to get old when the main characters act surprised in situations that they would clearly be able to decrypt and class as a misunderstanting - at least in Seitokai Yakuindomo the characters were shown to be aware that there was a misunderstanding but went with the flow purposefully because they enjoyed messing with the main character - in ShoBitch there's a constant stream of what seems like genuine shock followed by a reset in all emotion and a full sweep on any saved data from previous situations - which make me reminiscent of how a brand new episodes of the Simpsons started post 2007 where the consequence of actions were volatile. So why bother giving it a score above the lowest? Well I can't lie and say there wasn't genuinely good puns and jokes here and there - though that quantity of them is minuscule to the point that the the really bad ones eclipse it. I also can't say the above average art style didn't enchant me enough to keep me from dropping it. The art isn't amazing but from other anime I've seen like this - such as hajimete no gal - I can say it deserves some brownie points for the slightly better art direction (and story direction considering how unbearable Hajimete no gal's plot got). It is by all means watchable, there's just not much you'll get out of it. It won't have you slamming your head on the table as much as some other mentionable Ecchi comedy anime and I think many will enjoy the somewhat disturbing "homosexual misunderstandings" - If I can paraphrase it to that, they're definitely one of the most extreme jokes when it comes to misunderstanding between 2 male characters. There's not much to be said about the generic sound track so I think I'll conclude. Who is this anime for? Probably people who are into 7th grade dirty humour or new to the ecchi comedy genre of anime and don't want something as intense as Seitokai Yakuindomo. However even if that is the case I'd recommend you just don't bother wasting your time and search for an alternative, because this anime will frankly put you off the genre if you're giving it's your first try and it will leave you unsatisfied if you came for a good laugh, a decent romance or even something to tease your sexual desires with (If you're looking for ecchi you're better off somewhere else, this is pretty much void of it visually other than covered breasts moving around). If you want the a better alternative with 2 seasons and an upcoming movie go look up the one I've referenced 3 times now, I don't think I need to retype it here.

I enjoy this anime because of all the jokes and stupid moments it gave during the 10 episodes. My Girlfriend is Shobitch is a pretty simple rom-com anime with a lot of filthy and lewd jokes which I actually found myself laughing time to time. The art and animation was pretty decent but nothing to stand out. Also the story is pretty normal considering a slice of life, which I don't mean it in a bad way, and I find the characters cute and enjoyable. I really recommend you to watch this anime if you like rom-coms and animes with fan service. I watch this anime to have a laugh and have a fun time. ( ^ω^)

I'm seeing an absolute smattering of ones for this show- and I can certainly see why it's being received so poorly, but I myself cannot in good conscious give this show a rating of "one", which MAL describes as "pathetic", or "appalling". It simply isn't that awful. STORY: "Boku no Kanojo ga Majimesugiru Sho-bitch na Ken" (from herein referred to as "Sho-bitch") is a sketch comedy anime through and through. It's structured episodically, as opposed to serially- meaning there's no continuously running plot or need to remember minor details that may come back down the line. There is very little to mention in terms of story, really- local MC goes to school and is shocked at the lack of innocence possessed by the girls around him. He tries to be a good boyfriend to rather inexperienced and outlandish class-rep girlfriend. As is life in "moderately ecchi comedy" land. ART: I can literally only say that it's "okay". It does nothing interesting visually, save for a couple slightly funny sight gags here and there. SOUND: OP and ED are not my thing, well produced enough. Sho-bitch overuses audio clips criminally however- putting them over splash cards and playing them at every gag. The sound otherwise is okay at best, hence my 1 point reduction from "average" in the sound category. CHARACTERS: MC Haruka Shinozaki is undeveloped, and his other half- whom the show is really named after, the "loyal virgin bitch"- Akiho Kousaka is underdeveloped as well. Their relationship goes nowhere exciting through multiple dates (and the episodes encompassing them). Both characters are quite monotonous in nature, at day's end. While this is excusable for the deadpan comedy Akiho Kousaka uses, it is quite annoying when Haruka Shinozaki reacts with the same absurdist phrases every single time he notices some absurd sexual innuendo. It's almost insulting to the viewer really- he's shocked when we're supposed to be shocked, quiet and listening when something ""intriguing"" is happening- the writers of the show are quite unsubtle in telling us how we're supposed to feel through Haruka. Several minor characters pop-up here and there, but not a single one of them is worth mentioning in the slightest. Every side character is a textbook trope and/or uninteresting- from "creepy overtly sexual *heavy breathing*" girl to "ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-CHAAAAAAAAAAAN" girl. The show had some potential in this department, and squandered it. ENJOYMENT: I laughed a couple times, not going to lie. But for every joke that got me, 20 more made me groan and wish for death's embrace solely. OVERALL: It's somewhat entertaining and wholly trashy. If it's your thing/you can bear it/you're really bored, it might be worth a shot. There's worse stuff out there, but unless you're some 500 days into the medium, I guarantee there's better things out there. 3/10

The anime was pretty fun to watch... I usually don't like too much ecchi stuff but i like where the Mc is not perverted. Loved the comedy, some comedy was so extreme i laughed for minutes 🤣 The harem tag is just a show since there was only one confirm girl with mc after all. If the manga has more souce material i dream one it could get a second season. I know it will never happen though.. but just let a guy dream at least. I will miss this soo much. I suggest it to people with more self control because this is 100% not a pg 13 anime thats for sure . I didn't get why people disliked it so much. If i heard them and didn't watched it i would have missed a good show . That's why i always say don't listen to anyone give a anime 3 episode chance.. if you like it watch it, if you don't you can quit .

I had read a lot of negative reviews about this anime, and in fact, I agreed with most opinions. But at different angles, I want to give this series some love. It’s a perfect one for someone has a little pervert in mind and termless imagination. The plot is really simple: daily comedy school life and romance. Shinozaki Haruka is a normal male student who crushes on Kousaka Akiho, a proficient class monitor aka the perfect representative of every student in school. He tries to confess her and realizes her “special” hobbies. Despite of that, he still want to get along with her, also find a lot of interesting sides about Kousaka and friends. And about some of those friends, I still wonder how many porn films did they watch before classes. Misunderstanding is the main comedy factor in this series, more interesting to see characters reactions though. They don’t try to make a joke, but the humor comes from conversations and situations naturally because of their characteristics. Watching this really darkens my mind through time with lots of sex jokes, which is a serious threat to who want to enjoy it. Romance, luckily, is quite normal and not gone too far. Kousaka and Shinozaki love story is the highlight of this: a cute couple with no childish anger or jealous. Boy love, girl love and harem don’t have a permanent appearance but enough to add some other colors to this series. Good OP and ED, but I thought it would be harem + ecchi throughout 10 episodes. Diomedea and Blanc have made a great background, but characters designs aren’t unified and still need more uniqueness, they have done it better in the last 5, 6 episodes though. Like I said before, even though Sho-bitch has a lot of things to judge about, this anime can bring us a good medicine in a sad day. And, just like the medicine, it may not adapt to someone, so let’s think carefully and decide whether you want to take it or not.

Exciting! Honestly, I was expecting just another ecchi school harem, so I was surprised by the fact that it was a bunch of shorter comedy sections put together into an episode. Usually, shows like this are just vaguely amusing, but Sho-bitch genuinely made me laugh on multiple occasions. Some might despise the lewd nature of the jokes, but I think they're what made the show. Every single character had some sort of perversion, and these always lead to misunderstandings and situations that I (for the most part) found hilarious. If the show had any shortcomings, I think one of them would be nee-san (Ariyama Shizuku). I found most of the scenes with just her and the mc either boring or annoying. Along with the younger sister, she was probably the character I liked the least. I also thought that this show had a lot of lost potential. mc and Kousaka were a really cute couple, but other than some bits every now and then there was barely any real romantic development between them. Kousaka's kuudere-ness and mc's generic (already forgot his name) kindness could've been something really nice, but alas... Also the girls were all cute but the ecchi was super weak: nothing even worth censoring. I suppose it'd be hard to balance those with the comedy though. Maybe if the author was more skilled... but then again if they were then they wouldn't be working on something like this :P

This one is a little hard to review especially because of the way MyAnimelist's scores really run from 6 to 9. In real terms I'd like to give it a 6.5 to 7, in MyAimeList numbers it's about 7.5 (6 on this site is about a 2 and 8 being about a 9) Its got some big problems though. I was ready to drop it after the first episode but I stuck with it and it did get better as things were set up. After the second episode it was quite enjoyable despite the problems. Enjoyment/Comedy: "Dying is easy now comedy that's hard ---Edmund Gwenn" It can be really hard to translate jokes into another language, take the classic "2 guys walk into a bar you'd think the second one would have ducked". Just doesn't work in languages where bar (a large rod) and bar(a drinking establishment) aren't the same. This happens a fair bit in Sho-Bitch. There's also the problems of delivery and timing. The English voice actor started off poorly, improved through the third episode and plateaued. He had a difficult role being the straight man to crazy women. It's the make or break position in this show and he just didn't rise to the challenge (pardon the pun) Art: Wasn't really happy with the art. Lots of blurred backgrounds, lots of groups of people in silhouette, characters that look like they were just dropped on top of the backgrounds, and with stock Anime levels of detail. Just not what's expected. Sound: Levels were good and consistent. Music kind of meh, not real big fan of the opening or the closing music. Story: Really wasn't there. While there was an overall romantic arc, there really wasn't any tension (this fact also detracted from the comedy). There also was much left on the table in terms of the other characters that were just never taken anywhere. Characters: Haruka, between the writing and the voice acting, I couldn't care about his love life but I did laugh at the situations he got himself into and some of the reactions. Akiho should have been written as an alien from another planet. It would have made her better, more believable and opened up some opportunities. The rest were there to deliver jokes. Overall: It's watchable, mildly funny and more than a little mindless.

"Boku no Kanojo ga Majimesugiru Sho-bitch na Ken" So.. what is it about? Ecchi? Romance? or.. does it also contain harem? Well.. fortunately or unfortunately, it contains all of that. But.. are those genres uncommon? Obviously no.. when those things come together, usually it's just another half-assed seasonal anime with the same old story line. In other words, the cancer of the anime and manga industry. With ecchi as a tag, I'm sure it is one of the only main attractions of this series. Kind of disappointing am I right? Who needs to watch this series that's so predictable and similar to most titles? Why should you watch this? Well... ladies and gentlemen I will now tell you why I am one of the critiques who gave a higher rating for this series. You see, people get the wrong idea about these types of series. There are viewers who overhype a new airing series and somehow get disappointed later on. People tend to forget that this was just a series that was made for the LoLs and they expect it to be something that will be new and unique. This is not a series that is supposed to be seriously taken into account. This is just a series that will soothe those viewers who can't get over after finishing a drama and use this to get a good laugh in order to take the sorrows away. You do not watch comic relief with a serious mindset... you let lose and let out great laughs. Now for the main review. The main selling point of this series is the comedy itself and I tell you that you will get great laughs even though the point of the jokes is always the same... misunderstanding. I can't count how many times I burst out laughing even if I was expecting the joke or event to happen. I can't really help it if the elements come together like that. The story, with all due respect, is all but cliche in every way. You may sometimes stop and think "God, this show is so stupid" but you will say that while bursting out laughing because that's how this show is. The artstyle, damn... even an average joe will realize that the art wasn't even given any much effort to. You can see how well drawn are the background characters and other miscellaneous objects. Especially that one guy who was all colored in green. So much effort put into making that guy. The sound... well.. atleast I can say it's decent considering an ecchi anime will have ecchi opening and ending themes.. I guess the studios took that into account. The characters.. one thing I can say is... What the f**k... every cliche ecchi-harem situation characters, the full set, you name it... this has it. With that overall, yes there's nothing unique about this show and even the jokes aren't really that new to me because this had a similar feel to Seitokai Yakuindomo which is another series similar to this, the only difference is the level of romance in this show. I forgot to mention that though this show is full of cancerous cliche s**t, atleast the Romance factor is well enough to be.... Exciting!!... So if you want me to say one good thing about it, I assure you that this is one of the only good things about this show. Thank you for reading this review and I hope you understood it very well.

Boku no Kanojo ga Majimesugiru Sho-bitch na Ken easily ranks among the worst shows I have ever completed. I went into it expecting a mediocre ecchi harem romance full of fanservice and dirty jokes, yet somehow my expectations were too high. They could have produced a halfway decent show centered around the concept of a relationship between the plain boring protagonist and a cute girl who is simultaneously perverted in her mind but inexperienced and innocent in terms of a real relationship. Making dick jokes one minute and blushing at the thought of holding hands the next. Instead it is a race to the bottom that continuously reaches farther and farther to make everything lewd. Watching this show is like watching that one kid you knew in high school say "That's what she said!" to everything he hears. At first it's pretty funny, until everyone else but him is tired of it. This show is only 10 episodes long yet it manages to wear out its welcome after only 2 or 3. As an airing show, it was something to numb the mind or hate-watch between the weekly episodes of better shows. As a completed series, I can't think of any good reason to watch it. If you must, then avoid sobriety at all costs.

ShoBitch is exactly what it says on the tin: a full-length anime episode with non-stop lewding and dirty jokes. It never promised anything more and I won't fault it for that. What I will fault it for is the fact the jokes got stale about 1/3 of the way into the series. The episodes are "boy talks to girl, girl has a lewd misinterpretation, boy further misinterprets ad nauseum until we finish the episode". What variation comes in the form of other girls (the younger sister and the best friend) but they more-or-less repeat the "who can make the lewdest statements" game. Don't get me wrong, there's some fun to be had, but it's hard to see why they decided to stretch it into full-length episodes instead of sticking with a 15-minute length à la Aho-Girl. Variation doesn't come until we're well into the series when we're introduced to the other main male character, but he arrives a little too late. We're left with characters who make you wonder if they've experienced sexual trauma or were isolated from people. Still, every so often it lands a nice joke, whether it's the imagined yuri between the main girl and the main guy's Haruka best friend or the main guy finally having enough of these antics, but there's not enough. You will laugh, but not as often as you roll your eyes. Ultimately, ShoBitch is redeemed by Aoi Yuki, who plays Akiho, the "good girl" who manages to lewd every conceivable situation. As we've come to expect, she plays the role with just the right amount of naivete, so you almost believe a near-adult woman could believe these things. That's about it for the characters. Everybody else is a trope: self-insert MC with his clingy younger sister, the lesbian friend, the will-they-won't-they best friend and the overly-sexual gay guy who isn't subtle at all. I've also argued ShoBitch has a halfway decent romance lurking below the low-hanging fruit which rears its head every now-and-then. We get to see the main boy and the main girl develop their relationship beyond mere interest up until the credits roll for the final time. I was shocked as this is something missing from better series. It's a fun romp in short bursts. Don't go in expecting anything that pushes the boundary in any new & innovative way. Definitely don't binge it.

The 4-koma. A simple yet pure comedic style that has recently been sullied due to the sheer amount of attempts to stretch the original source material into a full-length series. While yes, it can work sometimes, this is certainly one example in which having full episodes turns the experience into something that's long and hard to watch. Yes that was intentional. Story: Sho-bitch, as my shorthand for this series will be, centers (quite literally) itself around our main protagonist, Shinozaki Haruka. One day he confesses to the school beauty, Kousaka Akiho, and instead of getting a straight answer from her, is asked what position he prefers. Yep, it's that kind of series. For 10 episodes, Sho-bitch runs the gag of 'perverted innuendo comedy' into the ground ranging from attempted subtlety, to no subtlety, to just outright violating your mind with images of the sexual nature as its cast of hormone-filled teenagers bombard the screen with everything from imagery, to twisting words towards their own sexual fantasies, all with questionable motives when you step back and look at this from a 'non-comedic standpoint'. The show pretty much only does one thing, and that one thing persists throughout the entire series thrusting its way into your memory so that you've submitted your fate to it and just go along with the flow anyway. In essence, the style is based around a 2 man comedy team where our main protagonist is the only straight man (and Kousaka's father, I guess) and everyone from his girlfriend to his childhood friend, and everyone in between reveals their sexual fantasy for any given situation so that everything becomes awkward for the MC, and you laugh. Or supposed to. While indeed comedy is subjective, Sho-bitch's presentation and execution for jokes is the same for the show's entire 10 episode runtime. The result of this creates a stale presentation that goes from being mildly funny to kind of annoying. But again, even that's on the individual, so, at your own risk. While Sho-bitch attempts to be a sweet and genuine romcom as the main couple of the series gradually gets used to dating to the point that they get to the 'I love you' phase (clearly the penultimate stage in any relationship) as the episodes run by, the sincerity of those words get vastly overshadowed by the show's naturally filthy nature and attempts to be funny from that normally filthy nature. Perverted comedy is nothing new in anime (as Seitokai Yakuindomo will attest to that), but the lack of flair and the show's crudeness become its downfall because each episode makes the viewer more and more blasé from seeing the same thing over and over again, making the viewing experience lackluster as a result. Overview: +/- Genuine relationship? (Cause there is technically progression.) +/- Just all perverted comedy - Pretty much one long running joke (It would be a 'on you, aka +/-', but in this case it hurts more than helps) Characters: To solidify the show as a series devoted to innuendos (which really aren't innuendos by the end of it), the characters for the most part exemplify a specific...theme to add some 'variety' to the cast and make the joke 'varied', even if that doesn't help much since the presentation is all the same. Now Shinozaki Haruka is the series's straight man. No question about it, and he is honestly not that interesting. His personality stems from him acting as the series's straight man and preventing whatever is happening now from going any further because if this cast was let loose into the world without any control, we would have a massive case of sexual assault on our hands. Regardless, aside from that, he tries to be a good boyfriend and learns to try and be one for his new girlfriend despite her insinuating many a perverted thing because...I guess she's thirsty or something. She's not really, but I guess we're supposed to get that impression. All this leaves his personality to be stagnant because rather than really develop his character and give him more traits, he's stuck being the boring babysitter for the rest of the cast. And...now for the rest of the cast. To be honest, pretty much everyone else worth mentioning in this series falls into the category of 'specializing' in a particular style of perverted joke. So here's them in a lightning round: Kousaka Akiho: All-rounder. Makes any kind of jokes but shows some genuineness from trying to be a good girlfriend. Ariyama Shizuku: Childhood friend that likes making jokes but can't take any herself. May or may not have a crush on the MC (not confirmed) and has a bust complex. Shinozaki Kanata: Imouto who always wears something cat-like and insinuates stuff, but doesn't actually know the meaning half the time. Saijou Rina: Oujosama-like girl who is basically a sexual predator for girls. Hoshikawa Seiya: Comes in very late, but makes a splash due to an omnipresent 'yaoi hand' and appreciation for shafts in his hole. I could go on and on, but this should give a rough estimate as to what we're dealing with her. Characters with smaller appearances do follow this trend, so that isn't the end of what Sho-bitch has to offer. Does this make the cast interesting? Well, kind of. Again, while the presentation is the same, the content at lest differs from person to person. Is this a good thing? Well...no. They're all super one-note as far as I'm aware. Overview: +/- Variety? - One-note cast across the board. Art: Produced by a collaboration of Diomedia and Studio Blanc, Shobitch is...not very pleasing to look at. Aside from the violating amount of imagery (and clothing choices) from your everyday dick joke to pantsu and everything being covered in white liquid which in and itself can turn away a large part of the show's potential audience, the one thing the art lacks is consistency. Very often character frames from one scene to another, even key frames from ones side by side to each other don't look right. Proportions and things like placement of the eyes, size of the head, etc all beg the kind of quality control that came about during production, and as such, create a very unappealing piece to look at. Colors are also quite blinding and don't have any variety or contrast to it having this very saturated color scheme persisting throughout the show's runtime. I know Studio Blanc doesn't exactly have many anime under its belt, but Diomedia at least has a half-decent team working under it so that this shouldn't be THAT much of a problem. Overview: +/- Lots and lots of perverted imagery - Vastly inconsistent art Sound: 'Eien Labyrinth' sung by Aoi Yuuki herself poses a weirdly high standard for the show's soundtrack. Her performance contrasts her role as Kousaka who ordinarily has a lower tone to her voice to compliment her 'kuudere-like' appearance by showing off her higher range. Oh, and the song's pretty good. Personally, I wouldn't say it's anything worth listening to again, as it doesn't have that 'memorability' factor that I tend to look for in a show's OST, but it's by no means a bad track. In contrast, the show's ED, "Koi no Himitsu" by pua:re (who's basically a group of a bunch of the show's female seiyuus singing together), bears a more energetic tone that similar to its OP counterpart, is not terrible to listen to, but not that memorable all things considered. I suppose the show's budget all went to the music rather than the art. So I guess...that's a thing. Overview: + Decent tracks Personal Enjoyment: As someone who read the original manga, this show at least from a visual standpoint...disappointed me. Story-wise, it's about what I expected. Since it was based on a 4-koma series, I didn't really expect it to be anything spectacular. But each episode still gave me that sinking feeling of realizing "Oh we're doing this now" as scenes that I uncomfortably recalled from the source material were being replicated in the anime. If the quality of the art had been up to what Diomedia's standards f…

This anime is a slice of life with lots of dirty jokes. That's basically the whole thing. If you like that kind of thing, it's great. If you don't, find something else. It's the perfect show to put on when you don't want to use your brain at all, honestly. It's also pretty short, which makes it a small time investment to enjoy. Something I didn't realize for a while is that several episodes have more to watch after the EP, so it's worth sticking around. That said, you're not missing anything important if you don't watch it, because there's not much in the way of an over-arching plot.
