Story Outline: Story? What story? Panties, girls, girls, girls. Some more panties. And then some more. Boobs. Gee, how unlikely was it that ADV licenced this. Wow, this is really unusual for them.
Mini Review: This is one of these short little TV anime that were part of a larger show. This show was screened in the "Wonderful" TV series alongside the mini "You're Under Arrest" series (which I disliked). This show is just a collection of skits, some only 30 or 60 seconds long which, as you may have guessed by the DVD cover are about panties. I don't know what the whole panties fetish thing is popular with Japanese men. After about 10 seconds of this show, I'd really had a gutfull. Both visually and sonicly, the show is a complete mess. The animation and designs are ugly and look like a film student's project. Add in several pieces of stock animation which are played over and over and cut up in a DJ like fashion to look "visually interesting". The audio sounds like a keyboard sampler vomiting. Like the most annoying dance music you've ever heard. There just isn't enough meat in here to sustain the show. Nearly two hours of panties? Oh please, spare me. There's absolutely no substance. Why in god's name would you make a show like this? This is why I should think a bit more before grabbing $5 discs from the Right Stuf's bargin bin.
However I did laugh about twice. Also the concept of a giant high school girl and the skit about a guy who wins a 2D anime girl as second prize in a manga competition were very clever. Other than that, it's complete rubbish. Becuase I'm feeling generous, I'll give it 3 out of 10.
Remaining Backlog: 18 months (it's much easier this way than listing the number of discs).
