It’s not working with the currently airing Ai Mai Mi or Cuticle Detective Inaba, and it certainly didn’t work with Eiken. Simply being over-the-top and random does not make good comedy, and if anything, it only insults the viewers’ intelligence. There’s no buildup or calculated execution to the jokes, and it simply throws fanservice at you in the hopes that you’ll laugh and/or get turned on by it.
SENRAN KAGURA SEASON 2 HENTAI SERIES
Yes, it’s trying to be over-the-top, and yes, there’s nothing wrong with putting the heroines in silly situations to expose their body (so long as we’re talking about a fanservice series anyways.) If executed well, the tree frog scene could have been funny, but there’s a larger problem that hinders its ability to be laughed at – Senran Kagura does not do well with its comedic timing.
SENRAN KAGURA SEASON 2 HENTAI FREE
What’s more disconcerting is when a tree frog jumps into Asuka’s breasts, and Katsuragi forces Asuka’s shirt off to free the frog – in a public area no less! – leaving a dazed, shirtless Asuka on the ground, and the only thing the other three find weird about this is that Asuka was afraid of the frog in the first place. I particularly don’t appreciate the use of the “perverted lesbian” archetype when it comes to Katsuragi’s breast fondling, since it implies that it’s okay to violate someone’s body so long as you’re both women. ( Fullmetal Panic? Fumoffu and the -Monogatari series are good examples of “tasteful” fanservice.) But when it’s rape-y or exploits a minority, that’s when its starts to get problematic – and Senran Kagura falls into that territory too often.
With the right context and comedic timing, fanservice can certainly be used as a legitimate form of comedy. There are only three reasons you would ever watch Senran Kagura: The comedy, the campy ninja action, and the fanservice – whether for its comedic purposes or its ability to sexually stimulate you. I can’t factor in how arousing the show is into these reviews (whatever floats your boat, right?) and it’s still too soon to judge how good the action will be, but I can say that this show certainly fails as a comedy.
