Review of My Girlfriend is Shobitch
I had read a lot of negative reviews about this anime, and in fact, I agreed with most opinions. But at different angles, I want to give this series some love. It’s a perfect one for someone has a little pervert in mind and termless imagination. The plot is really simple: daily comedy school life and romance. Shinozaki Haruka is a normal male student who crushes on Kousaka Akiho, a proficient class monitor aka the perfect representative of every student in school. He tries to confess her and realizes her “special” hobbies. Despite of that, he still want to get along withher, also find a lot of interesting sides about Kousaka and friends.
And about some of those friends, I still wonder how many porn films did they watch before classes.
Misunderstanding is the main comedy factor in this series, more interesting to see characters reactions though. They don’t try to make a joke, but the humor comes from conversations and situations naturally because of their characteristics. Watching this really darkens my mind through time with lots of sex jokes, which is a serious threat to who want to enjoy it.
Romance, luckily, is quite normal and not gone too far. Kousaka and Shinozaki love story is the highlight of this: a cute couple with no childish anger or jealous. Boy love, girl love and harem don’t have a permanent appearance but enough to add some other colors to this series.
Good OP and ED, but I thought it would be harem + ecchi throughout 10 episodes.
Diomedea and Blanc have made a great background, but characters designs aren’t unified and still need more uniqueness, they have done it better in the last 5, 6 episodes though.
Like I said before, even though Sho-bitch has a lot of things to judge about, this anime can bring us a good medicine in a sad day. And, just like the medicine, it may not adapt to someone, so let’s think carefully and decide whether you want to take it or not.
