Otaku Digest: Prison Bedtime Brides

Welcome one and all to another instalment of Otaku Digest! Where on earth has the month of August gone? Or the entire summer season for that matter! Saying that, it’s not like the summer anime season passed by quickly because of the amazing anime it had, if anything it should have dragged on as it has been a lacklustre season to say the least. However, we continue on here on Otaku Digest.

You can tell we are getting to the end of the season since I am attempting to sit through the random anime shorts released each season. So this week’s anime is the last of the normal anime and a few randomly selected shorts, Kangoku Gakuen Prison School, Makura no Danshi and Okusama ga Seitokaichou! 

Kangoku Gakuen Prison School

First up this week is the final anime of the new releases that we are looking at here on Otaku Digest, Kangoku Gakuen Prison School, which is an ecchi, school, seinen and Prisioncomedy anime that first aired on July 11. For its entire history, the Hachimitsu Private Academy located on the outskirts of Tokyo has been an elite and well-regarded boarding school for girls. However with the new school year approaching, a change is being made to the rules; for the first time ever there will be boys enrolling in the school. When the first day of the new school year comes around, Kiyoshi Fujino realises that he is one of only five other boys that have enrolled in the school. They are outnumbered by thousands of female students, and this could either be the year of their lives or a living hell for them all. Let the chaos ensue!

When you say to someone you are about to watch an anime and the first thing that person says is how terrible it is without another word, it can be really daunting on the anime. I was only two minutes in and I saw a woman whose chest defies earth and gravity; that was fan service to the max really, with an opening scene that makes you try and evaluate what you have just encountered. This anime did not disappoint in how truly terrible it was. I could not tell you what the anime was about if I tried; I know there was a panty mission between the five men and then the underground student council catches them and locks them up, but it was so all over the place that you could not physically keep up with what torture they were inflicting. Also, there was so much fan service it was impossible to follow the so-called story! And can we please address the obvious attempt at female empowerment? It is done in the worst possible taste but this is clearly meant to be a fetish type of anime or that woman’s chest would not defy gravity and space the way it does.

Will I Continue To Watch? Hell no. This anime is so bad it’s unwatchable! 

Makura no Danshi

MakuraNext up this week is one of the anime shorts randomly selected this week, Makura no Danshi, or as some fans will know it as, Pillow Boys. For anyone unfamiliar with the term, these are usually based on the games where very attractive anime males sleep beside you. In the anime itself we are introduced to twelve individual pillow boys who all live in the same town, with each having their own special episode. The viewers are all but promised that at least one of these pillow boys will cater to their tastes.

Where do I even start with this anime? First off, I am not a fan of the pillow boy gaming phenomenon among anime fans. It is nothing to do with the games themselves, I just find the characters off-putting and creepy. Why would I want an animated male breathing in my ear in place of a real person? So no, I’m not a fan. If you are then props to you but it just is not for me. So this anime is basically a walking, talking non-interactive version of these games where you have twelve episodes featuring twelve different lads, so everyone can be happy, right? I get the reason for this anime; it is bringing in the man service aka the female fan service thus evening the playing field, but I found it really disturbing. Anime like Free! make more sense as a series considering it was an actual series that had a plot and interesting characters, but this was unsettling since the character is talking at you, asking you random questions. This episode was very much the pretty boy play; it felt seedy watching the anime because you just do not know what they are going to do, and it was the most unsettling four minutes of my life thus far.

Will I Continue To Watch? No way! Not for me, thank you.

Okusama ga Seitokaichou!

Lastly this week we have another randomly selected short called Okusama ga Seitokaichou! or My Wife is the Student Council President and it is an ecchi, school, councilseinen and comedy anime that originally aired on July 2 and is an adaptation from a manga called Okusama ga Seito Kaichou!. In the anime, we see the ambitious Izumi Hayato as he campaigns to run for student council president, but when a beautiful girl bursts on the scene promising liberalisation of love as she cascades condoms into the audience, Izumi winds up losing the election to her and becomes her vice president. During a student council meeting, the president invites herself over to Izumi’s home where she announces that she will be his wife. This declaration is based on a drunken agreement between their parents when they were only three years old. Can Izumi get out of this or will his wife be the student council president?

This is the only anime from this week’s line up that I knew nothing about going in; no hints were given nor did I have an opinion, however the fact that there is a censored and uncensored version made me wonder how far they were about to rock the boat. On a side note, I really could not avoid a week of fan service; it happens every season where there’s one week here on Otaku Digest where it’s all fan service anime and this week is a doozy. For an anime short, this series could have really been made into a normal length series. It was genuinely entertaining! There’s nothing hugely amazing about it, but it did do its job and entertains the viewer. There was no massive difference between the two versions but it definitely attempted to push fan service further than in other anime. In a way, this is all about learning for the characters; one pretends to be boisterous and adventurous where they are afraid and inexperienced and another is so wound up and controlled that he learns to let loose.

Will I Continue To Watch? Probably not, but it is an okay little anime short. 

What have you watched this season? Felt it was as bad as we have said? Let us know in the comments!
