Review of My Girlfriend is Shobitch

tl;dr: A series centered entirely around dirty humor that's only semi-funny. This series mostly just a steady stream of humor, with almost all of it being dirty to at least some degree, and most of it based on innuendo and misunderstandings with Shinozaki playing the straight man to Akiho and Shizuka's craziness. This isn't my favorite type of humor but in general I'm okay with it. Still, I overall didn't find the show all that funny. This in part may be that because it relies heavily on misunderstandings and language based jokes, it probably isn't carrying through all that well into English. But even in casesremoved from that, ultimately just it felt very hit and miss. On top of that, the way the show is structured it generally sticks to a situation or short story line for a while pulling multiple jokes out of it, but it felt like in general these dragged on too long and in addition to about half the content not being that funny, even the better content started getting repetitive. It may have been better for the series to have half length episodes and cut out the weaker content and focus only on the good parts with better pacing. However, there would still be issues, in that just overall the core comedy with Shinozaki, Akiho, and Shizuka got repetitive on a macro level, though as a result the scenes with the Saori, Kanata, and Misaki became more amusing as they broke away from that. As for what little there is of the story itself was at best okay. The main three characters are decently likable enough even if they are extremely flat personality wise. Some of the side characters were similarly likable despite not having any depth at all. However, a major detriment to this was that some side characters that were just incredibly annoying and and made me groan whenever they were on screen, mainly Hoshikawa and Aoi.

The art was decent. There was some strange running gag in the background with weird stuffed animals with realistic legs that was more creepy than funny. It was like something out of Rocky Horror Picture Show, and felt really out of place considering the general atmosphere of the series. The rest of the random humor in the background was funny though. The scene transitions were amusing. Ultimately, beyond that animation and art was okay mostly and it didn't really seem to try to do much with it. The OP was okayish. The ED was legitimately good. The soundtrack was forgettable.
