The Ecchi Harem genre is filled with its own heroes and villains. First, there are the shows that make us laugh with how they implement tried-and-true jokes and humor from previous series. These tend overcome the often crass nature ecchi comedies typically have and deliver a solid viewing experience. Next, there are the shows that completely embrace the lowbrow, wallow in it, and make you feel even more embarrassed that you somehow made it to episode 12… We can’t lie, we love them all, for different reasons ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). For fans of this genre, Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai was a godsend. It was hilarious, a little bit edgy, and had more than its fair share of sexual humor thrown in. Today, we’re going to be looking at what we loved about Shimoneta and two shows that offer just as many laughs as well.
About Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai (SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn"t Exist)
- Episodes: 12
- Aired: Jul. 2015 - Sept. 2015
In a dystopian future where mankind’s social norms are strictly controlled, being a normal high school student is a daily challenge. In the world of Shimoneta, Japanese citizens have a collar which monitors and censors words that are spoken, enforcing harsh penalties for breaking public moral laws. Enter Tanukichi Okuma, a boy who followed his idol Anna Nishikinomiya to her prestigious high school which has a good record of having high public morals thanks to her being student council president. Unfortunately, on his first day, he is framed for groping on a train and is rescued by the mysterious Kajou Ayame. Ayame turns out to be his classmate and leader of the infamous public indecency group known as SOX. Although he had planned to strictly join Anna in her goal of making the school a more moral environment, he is pulled into Ayame’s schemes of regaining their freedom of expression in the lewdest ways possible.
When it comes to ecchi comedies, lewdness makes the world go round. Thankfully, we don’t live in the world of Shimoneta, or our ability to enjoy such shows as Shobitch and Imouto Sae Ireba Ii would be exceedingly difficult. Did you find anything else in those shows that reminded you of Shimoneta or watch other shows this season that did? Let us know in the comments!
