Tatakau Shisho, First Episode, Review

Okay, so I decided to give this anime a shot.  It opened up pretty well, with nice almost chilling atmosphere as a person repeats answers in a sort of empty, brainwashed manner to a phonograph. 

Except then, it ruins the somewhat morbid mood of the show with these:

Meet the Boobs.  You will see them more often than her face.  Seriously, this character's face is not shown when she is introduced, only her extremely large physics defying breasts.  This show takes every excuse to pan up her body to show her chest, including a hilarious sequence where she's talking to a woman telepathically and all you see is her breasts.  Shit, I don't know, maybe they are telepathic boobs.

We get a neat battlescene with a lot of action and some gore.  Which is going well, but then the Boobs show up again to kill the mood.

Yes, her shirt is wet.  No, that's not particularly important to anything in the plot.  This show actually has a lot going for it, the story seems interesting overall.  We've got human bombs, brainwashing, cults...but the cheap excuse to show those Boobs is a total buzzkill.  I can like this anime, the one with somber images and hints at an underlying nasty of social systems and torment:

Not this one, which is gratuitous images of ecchi boobs:

Look, Talking Boobs (a.k.a. Sexual Objectification is Still Totally a Thing)

This is an actual panel from the Ao No Exorcist manga:

Female characters are depicted as sexual objects.  She is reduced to nothing but a pair of waterballoon breasts.  By the way, reading this manga will also teach you that her boobs and top do not obey the laws of physics.  Of course, the bikini has to be magic to keep them from popping out.
