Watchlist #53 - Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist

Imagine a world where we, Fans of Anime, live in Japan. It's full of opportunities, responsibilities, and morals. However, picture that without the knowledge of profanity ~ where it it outright outlawed if you were to speak of anything profane in correlation to love & sex. Everything from how babies are born to what to feel when feeling attracted to someone else is a complex string of explanation upon explanation with no heart. There are, however, those who wish to spread profanity as a means to educate and aspire youths to have the knowledge of sexual intercourse and illustrate that porn isn't bad, but rather a way of expressing one's arousal to the opposite/same sex. If you haven't guessed it, these "terrorists" are perceived as the bad guys, but in actuality ~ who truly is the bad guy? Is it them for wanting to educate and aspire others to not be afraid to speak profanity or those who oppose as a means to stop free speech? Perhaps it is those who wish for change, but are to the point of going overboard on their ideals or it's the morals itself that are caging people's emotions & thoughts on sexual knowledge. Anyways, this brings me to the Anime I just finished watching: A Boring World where the concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist. The plot ~ I literally just explained it above. Public morals is at a all-time high and thus it's up to one woman and one man to team up in order to showcase Porn and Sex Jokes should be of the norm. Going into this Anime, it's pure eye candy. There's a lot of censorship, but it's literally parodying it because nowadays, everything is desensitized or censored. However, not all with agree that everything should be banned or censored. In radio stations for example, they play the "clean" version of rap songs or on Television where they'l censor bad words all for the protection of the public. To be perfectly honest, it's an ongoing issue to this day and whether it's for protection or just because people are afraid of free speech ~ this Anime is a prime example of showing off those themes and opposing as a means to standing up to a norm. The main heroine is funny, spirited, and loves sex jokes. She dressed in nothing but a blanket and runs around with half-naked girls and Hentai propaganda. Then there's her sidekick who becomes infatuated with her to the point where his ideals of dirt jokes are challenged just from being around her. We also have a chick who has an obsession with the main protagonist after having been accidentally kissed on the lips. We have another chick who aspires to be an artist, but gets a HUGE kick out of drawing nude pictures or shipping 2 guys together. There's so much to talk about and in every second of this Anime, I was laughing, smiling, and wishing society were more open rather than closed. This Anime started in July and ended in September with 12 episodes that is based off a Light Novel (2012-ongoing) and Manga (2014-ongoing). If I could, I'd want to meet Hirotaka Akagi, the creator of this Anime, shake his hand, and say "Thanks to you, this Anime is on my top 10 favorite Anime(s) of all time."
