Softenni! the Animation · review
Do you think random cosplaying, riding naked on a wild animal, flashing panties and blatantly breaking the laws of physics doesn't belong in an anime like this? Well you'd better like it as of right now, cuz ready or not that's what we've got! If this had been far more realistic it would have been some sort of slice-of-lifeish sports drama with shower scenes, that could have appealed to some viewers but as a general rule any show that dishes out loads of fan service has a much better chance of getting a warm welcome if it's silly comedy. Softenni succeeds really well in doing whatit sets out to do, it aims low and hits.
As weird and dumb as this show manages to be it isn't cutting any corners, except with the script that must have turned circular in shape. The art and sound are nothing fancy but fits like a glove, just like the over-the-top characters with their quirks. If this anime doesn't make you laugh you probably need a beer or something to loosen up, as long as you don't take it seriously it's often quite hilarious.
