Review of My Girlfriend is Shobitch
I was actually fairly surprised by this anime, seeing how low of a score it had and how much hate it was getting. I got into this anime thinking that it would be similar to many other similar animes where sex jokes is the big focus. It wasn't really like that at all and especially the first episode made me doubt whether it would be worth it to watch and if it would actually be pretty bad, it actually made me cringe with the kinda ridiculous yet not powerfully delivered jokes that were present. However, after 2-3 episodes, I found out that this was actually quiteenjoyable in its own way.
This anime does have a lot of sex jokes. That's true. However, I feel it was lacking that special "oomph" or "sting" that you usually get in an anime such as this. It was fairly slow and it wasn't really over the top like they usually are. The jokes ARE indecent for sure, there's a lot of stuff like that going on, but it wasn't high-paced and completely without a story, nor were the jokes so ridiculous that you laugh at them simply because it's something that would never happen and is so surreal you find it baffling.
I found this to be a pretty nice anime, the relationship between the mc and the girlfriend was actually pretty good, we could see it developing and it felt pretty sweet in a way. The indecency was often fairly funny as well, quite a few of the jokes were relatively clever for a show like this. I loved how concerned his girlfriend was about him, and her actions due to that, which came across as a clumsy attempt to fulfill her role as a girlfriend and because of her own jealousy, was pretty well done.
It's certainly not the best anime out there, but I think it was a really good one nonetheless, it's unusual and I feel that the low score, which it doesn't deserve, is because some people came here without understanding the nature of this show and expected something else, thus they give it a low and unfair score. I recommend this show, but be prepared that every female around will be kinda lewd or at least love dirty jokes and the whole show revolves around dirty jokes overall, yet it's still fairly slow compared to similar shows and the romance is more important and well done than in those shows as well. 8/10, undoubtedly.
