Nihon Animator Mihonichi (ONA) [An original net animation (ONA), known in Japan as Web Anime (Web(ウェブ)アニメ, Webu Anime ?), is an anime that is directly released onto the Internet.]

''Japan Anima(tor)'s Exhibition is the showcase of the animations produced by various directors with love and energy, which are planned from original projects, spin-off projects, promotional films, Music PV, and VJ Films etc...

(Source: AniDB)

Episode 1: The Dragon Dentist (Directed by Outarou Maijou)
Episode 2: Hill Climb Girl (Directed by Azuma Tani)
Episode 3: Me!Me!Me! (Directed by Hibiki Yoshizaki)
Episode 4: Carnage''
You can watch the video here if you want to:



I want to talk about the thing that has been said after Episode 3 was released, Tribies said it best;

Tribies said:
No this is not an anime, this is what a few people in Japan feels that is going on IN Japan right now, by the meaning that Men don't want to date women because they could just as well use the money to buy gaming cards or games, while women don't have time due to their careers and such. If this keeps going on there will not be a Japan in 70-100 years due to the fact that people barely date or start families.
Another coherent POV
shiny-shell said:
The young man has recently gone through a painful breakup. He’s depressed, lying in bed alone staring into space vacantly. His room is messy, there’s an unfinished project on the table, and the video itself loops so he either feels stuck and/or isn’t getting better any time soon. Given the mecha figure on the table and the Evangelion bishoujo figures on his shelf, he’s probably an anime otaku. (They’re specifically Eva girls because Hideaki Anno is involved with the studio that made this animation.)
We then see a happy daydream/wet dream through his eyes. It’s oversaturated with bright colours, skimpy clothes, and unrealistically bouncing boobs. Note the anime tropes: the tehe face with the tongue sticking out, blue hair, thigh-highs, shimapan. Otaku culture and anime bring him comfort. He has a harem of flirty hypersexualized women who dance and want to please his every whim. A titstravaganze is any (straight) male’s fantasy.
Then it goes a bit deeper and gets a bit darker (literally, the colours turn from bubblegum pop to black and red darklight). Somehow the images/music get even more sexual, with the women now pretty much naked with piercings on their nipples and clitoris, shaking their butts, showing their nipples, and dangling the clit piercing around in a flagrant display of sexuality. They’re like alien super strippers. daoko’s voice in the music gets lower and whispery giving a sensual feel to the bassline. The girls’ piercings are red, tied together and to their neck. They were already supersexualized, but now they’ve got bright target points pinpointing their sexual points. The red strings connecting them might be referencing the red string of fate, as in, he’s reducing their ‘fate’ to their sexuality, especially if you take in mind the collar which is a symbol of submission. The male is taken aback when the overlord alien women comes up to him and the one girl’s clit piercing is pulled bringing her to ecstasy. He’s being confronted by the female’s will and enjoyment of *** (since the clitoris has no literal, direct pleasure benefit to male partners). He’s then squeezed under the weight of the overlord’s tits, suffocating him. Blood. Death by ***.
Then he wakes up and is confronted again by the ‘leader’. She has the weird 4-eyed mask on and he feels supremely uncomfortable being cornered by this hypersexual woman. His bishoujo figures turn on him with evil eyes. She takes off the mask to reveal a normal face, but she’s overloaded with energy and pukes into his mouth. The process of vomiting is similar to the sexual response cycle; so here she’s essentially ‘releasing’ or cumming on him without his consent. He chokes, and we’re back inside the black dream.
We finally see his ex: a sweet-looking girl. The images of the hypsexed alien girls are covered temporarily by memories of his relationship with this real girl. She’s distraught and crying; she only smiles in the photographs. The man is apathetic as she reaches out to him. Clearly he left her. But after the fact he feels guilty, and we see the alien girl eating him, so he’s literally being eaten by guilt. The sweet girl then becomes the alien overlord girl.
Basically, he’s an anime otaku with destructive ideas of what women should be. This girl he dated couldn’t live up to his expectations of the perfect innocent ***** like his anime waifus. She was trying to be a good girlfriend, but he didn’t care because he had his 2D world to go back to for comfort. He became sexually frustrated when she didn’t live up to this hypersexual image, and now he’s disillusioned with females as a whole. Even the title itself alludes to how selfish he’s being: “ME! ME! ME!”
He looks angry and becomes a mech soldier (a power fantasy) shooting the hypersexed alien sluts. He can’t get the unrealistic things he thinks he’s entitled to, so he lashes out against all women. Because even when the women are enjoying themselves, it makes him uncomfortable. They’re not the submissive yamato nadeshiko he ‘deserves’.
He again tries to reach out for this girl he misses, but she slips through his hands. It’s his fault she’s gone and she’s not coming back into his life (he has a look of pained realization as she falls into the void). He tries attacking the female hive, but it’s a losing battle. It ends him being eaten alive by the alien strippers.
tl;dr: Man goes through breakup. He’s too consumed by 2D anime culture that he expects real women to be pure yet meet all his sexual whims. Girl he’s dating can’t live up to these unrealistic expectations; she tries to reach out to him, but he doesn’t care because he can go back to his perfect 2D waifus anytime. He becomes depressed and disillusioned with females as a whole. A damning piece against otaku culture and society as a whole’s objectification and sexualization of women. It’s satire by being so overt with tits and ass in your face.



My POV of this is that i really don't mind ecchi nor fanservice but when it takes the plot away and they just focus on fan service and nothing else then we got a problem. For some reason 50% of the animes that has been released from 2013-2014 have fanservice and they take it to a whole new level. They take away the history, ruining it completely.


What do you think about the whole thing that has been happening to the anime industry and japan itself revolving the fan service and the plot/story of an anime/ova lately?

There is to way much of it, fan service is alright as long as its done in moderation.
I guess you haven't watch Maken-ki. Season 1 the fan service was ''moderated'' and i did enjoy it, when season 2 was released the fan service took over the whole anime, they just kept making episodes of fan service and the story/plot went away in no time.

A ''moderated'' one is high school d.x.d

Is it really fan service if the fans don't like it?
It's not that, there are animes that has been completely ruined by it when they over-do it.

I have noticed that with newer animes, it's just becoming like the rest of entertainment, music, TV, etc. it's all about *** for some reason. That's all people seem to care about.
I'm scared of what king of animes we're going to get in the future if this keeps going on honestly.

^^^ Everything is so sexualised nowadays. :(
I barely watch the new songs that comes with that kind of stuff. xD

I'm saying is that fan service on DxD doesn't take over the plot, the history. When they're in the slice of life episode (they add ecchi moments) but when the they get to the plot and the story, it doesn't' take over. You will see why in season 3 (I read the light novels).

For some people they didn't like kill la kill for the fan service.

Animes in the 90's: More blood/gore, less fanservice
Animes today: More fanservice, less blood/gore
Yeah i noticed that as well. You barely get BLOOD/GORE animes nowadays. Maybe a few but not like the older animes.

I heard in terra formars(i think that's how it spelled) and tokyo ghoul the censorship is way too damn high.

It's gonna be garbage, just pointlessness and tits bouncing. But it's really gonna make anime fans seem weirder than they already viewed.
Did you noticed how the fan service took over akame ga kill? I mean esdeath's boobs are way too big compared to the manga version.

Oh alright I thought you were referring to FS in general, sorry about that.

Yeah that was the first thing I noticed when they announced the anime, they made Akame and Esdeath have these huge tits that are just unnecessary, it literally accomplishes nothing.

In the entertainment industry, quality does not, in general, go hand in hand with popularity (economic demand); as a fan-base of a rather nerdy subculture (manga/anime), you should know this. After all, look at all the popular garbage in the mainstream media today. Also, it seems that as the general popularity of any domain/genre goes up, average quality goes down, has manga/anime in general become more popular since the 90s?

Oh nice! The Anime industry trying to be shit like Hollywood...
Sad to see such things.

The biggest joke are even the girls that cosplay as this crap, post it on tumblr and think that's cool to look like a cheap *****.

I'm talking about FS in general, in D.x.D the FS doesn't take the plot nor the story away from D.x.D.

In other animes, yes they do, and i gave you an example of it. Maken-Ki.

Yeah that was the first thing I noticed when they announced the anime, they made Akame and Esdeath have these huge tits that are just unnecessary, it literally accomplishes nothing.
We've been ****ed, I wonder how the animators feel when they're animating fan service.
