ARENT THESE SEX JOKES FUNNEE LAWL

Gross. If I had to choose one word to describe this anime that's the one word I'd use. Gross characters, gross story, gross presentation, gross artstyle, disgusting everything. It really all just sucks shit in every way. Now, I don't hate sex jokes, I can find myself laughing at a phallic reference or two but every second not even ashamedly throwing it in your face over and over and over until it's so unfunny it's become offensive to your intelligence is so far from acceptable I'm considering undergoing therapy to forget the experience of ever watching it.

The narrative(story) is simple and so shallow an ant couldn't drown in it, and it's invariably "this is a euphamism and this is the character thinking about it" for a few minutes until they move onto the next one which is the same thing, not worrying about how the audience feels about it as long as they're ok with sex jokes enough to have a dictionary of them animated with no other characteristics whatsoever. And the characters have no other characteristics except sexual references.

HOW FUNNY IS THAT

they even introduce characters like this one who are supposed to be overly pervy even though it doesnt work because every line everyone besides her says is a euphamism.

Isn't it funny how all the characters are thinking about sex, isn't that crazy? Isn't it sooooo nuts and funny?!?!

The artstyle is so vanilla i can't even comment on it and it has no animation worth noticing.

Sound? I had the volume turned down for most of it.

I wish I could go in depth to the characters, black haired japanese dude, pervy sister, pervy friend, pervy other gay friend, pervy girlfriend, pervy mother, other pervy mother, and pervy everyone else describes it well enough though so I don't have to spend too much time here.

What Shobitch ultimately does wrong is assume that all it has to do IS make sex jokes to establish itself comedically but all it ends up doing is annoying the shit out of and disrespecting the viewer without ever giving us a real reason to care. To me, that's failure. I can't even appreciate what it was trying to do. It's trash in every sense of the word and it would have more entertainment value if you were watching it while taking a shit.

Thank god this was only 10 episodes, if I had to watch another episode of this filth I swear I would've lost my mind.

Half assed romance comedys like this show up all the time, they sort of attempt at being all cute and moe and it come of as fucking cringe.

So what's this cesspool about? Well a guy confesses to a girl and she accepts, she then proceeds to give the relationship her all as she is "inexperienced". I fucking kid you not and I tried to make it sound good there.

This show promplty proceeds to bombard you with a plethora of stupid and cringe sex jokes. The writing in this trash is so fucking lazy, none of the jokes have a punchline to it, all it does is use a bunch of ecchi and moe tropes hoping that would result in a sex joke........NO IT FUCKING DOESN'T!!!

If you want an example of how to do sex jokes then look at Shimoneta, that show had a bunch of crude humor, but it was funny as how over the top it was.

The animation isnt much to speak of either, all we get is a bunch of panning shots with a bunch of re-used frames as the animators made an attempt at making the girls look all "kawaii". Not to mention the god awful transition screens, all of then include some ridiculous skirt shot. Some of the backgrounds look good, I'll give it that.

Basically every female character has one personality or rather one purpose, to make a sex joke, that's it, they aint got any personlaity, no motive, nothing. The romance doesnt exist, there's more imitancy in two teddy bears humping each than the main couple.

Overall.....just don't please don't. This shit will only entertain anyone who doesn't have a brain.

This small 10 episode show has a lot, LOT of dirty jokes in it. This anime revolves around the dirty jokes concept. It usually goes by the MC playing the straight guy (tsukkomi) as almost all the girls make dirty jokes. Even though the first episode had a heavy plot, it was just done to put the base for the dirty jokes to happen. The later episodes slowly slides to the path of slice-of-life comedy and a tiny pinch of romance. The start was really good, as my friend was talking about it all the time, but from episode 5, it got plain boring (my friend dropped this anime in episode 6).
Yea yea, you might ask how can sex jokes be boring or lame. Its because most of the sex jokes in this anime are based on the misunderstanding, i.e they became a sex joke due to a misunderstanding between two parties. And the other sex jokes where there is no misunderstandings, you can see them coming ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

Story (2/10)
The story was done really poor. They really dragged the anime too much. The romance pace was so slow and boring. The first episode was very well done, which acted as a hook and pinned the watchers to watch the rest of the episodes, by developing that small hope that things will get better in the next episode.

Animation & Sound (10/20)
There was nothing special about the animation or sound. The animation during dirty scenes were done so carefully that it made me think if I'm actually watching an hentai.
The OP&ED were ok, and even they had echii scenes. Koi no himitsu!

Characters (1/10)
The characters were not that attachable or relatable to. As usual, the MC was as dense as a brick, a pervy childhood friend who secretly likes him? And an annoying little sister just for the incest fans out there. They were designed poorly. I didn't like Kosaka-san's eyes, MC's sister always wearing a cat hoodie trying to be cute but she is annoying af, and a dog looking like a f**kin piece of c*@p. There is absolutely zero character development throughout the anime.

Overall (5/10)
This show can be really boring. So if you are bored out of your wits, you absolutely have nothing to do and have watched every single anime in the world, still, dont watch this. If you want anime with sex jokes, there are recommendations given there above (i would highly recommend Seitokai yakuindomo).

This series is about a girl with surprisingly perverse thoughts/misunderstandings, and her boyfriend who serves as the straight man to her actions (and those of the other female cast).

On its own merits the story works okay as a series of vignettes over each episode, though they are often unconnected and so feel disjointed. Each character is based around one particular trait and none exhibit any particular growth throughout the series. None of these are particularly unique, with the prudish student council president, the brocon sibling, and the airhead all carrying a lot of weight over the series. Slightly more unique is the girl who gets turned on by watching everyone else.

The humour largely derives from one character expressing that trait, and the straight man either reacting to it or having that trait bounce off Kosaka and her own thoughts. In short bursts this works okay but it is hard to sustain over a full episode, let alone 10 episodes. Because each character has only one aspect and little to no growth, the humour gets stale.

It is decent to watch for a short time, but there are superior series out there that can serve you much better on almost every aspect. If you want a comedy about a perverted girl and her boyfriend, B Gata H Kei does a much better job with a character-driven story still filled with perverse humour. If it is the rapid-fire humour of each vignette that appeals to you, Seitokai Yakuindomo does a much better job not only in the variety and pacing of humour, but in using the traits that define each person for that too. In comparison to these Shobitch is not good, just okay at best.

I don't know what to say about this anime and why the fuck I'm watching this but I can surely tell you guys this, it's closer to comedy than ecchi.

Um I don't think its a waste of time but there's other shit to watch but if you like Konosuba and that kind of stuff, this anime is the right anime for you.
