So I finally got around to watching Shimoneta, and everything all you guys said about it (3 years ago) is true. It's raunchy, it's obscene, it's hilariously good. This is lewd humor done right. I'm only disappointed there isn't more of it. I'm getting tired of shows that don't have a plot arc with an end. But apart from that, awesome.Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist
This was a surprise find for me, and I've been enjoying it. Set in a Japan where censorship laws and personal control devices have banned anything indecent (meaning not only porn but even stuff like saying medical terms of genitalia), it follows a high school student who joined one the country's most moral schools because of his love for a girl, only to get roped into a revolutionary group fighting for the right to lewdness. The show does a good presentation of its lewdness, actually, generally using its erotic element more for character development or progressing the story rather than just as fanservice (though it also does a solid job with its dirty humor). It also does a good job telling a tale of the damage that can come from trying to control people and keep them ignorant for the sake of morality.
Watching Anna turn from a polite and pure (if ignorant) girl to a (still ignorant) yandere who's dripping like a leaky faucet has been one hell of a sight.
