Are you tired of reading wall after wall of pretentious text? Do you just want to know if you should watch the darn show? Me too. TLDR Take the classic sports anime formula and replace the beautiful men playing volleyball with beautiful women pounding each others asses with their own asses. Keijo with eight exclamation points is an amazing balls to the wall experience that manages to hide its flaws by turning the ridiculous meter up to maximum and then destroying the emergency off switch with a Steel Lance Ass Attack. PLOT Average And Predictable The plot of Keijo is definitely its weakest aspect. If you ignore its gimmick of super sexual swimsuit sumo wrestling youre left with a surprisingly standard sports shounen story. The show is obviously supposed to be a parody of the genre but followed the same underdog formula as most sports shows with little to no changes: The plucky and optimistic main character saw an amazing match as a child that inspired them. With big dreams of becoming the number one player they enrol in a school with the goal of learning the sport. The protagonist who was nobody special at the beginning manages to showcase their potential and forms a loyal group of friends. Through hard work and determination they slowly train and improve their skills. At the end of the show the main character and their teammates compete in a tournament against the best school in the country. As you can probably tell from this summary there is no creativity to be found in the story side of things. But lets be real. Screw the story. Youre probably here because you want to look at tits ass and tight swimsuits. I wont judge so was I. If thats what you want you will walk out of the experience happy. There isnt any explicit nudity nipples or genitalia but the whole show is built around using ones butt or boobs to knock their opponent over so youll see tons of body parts that are technically censored or covered. Swimsuits get damaged during matches special moves often require powering up and the shows page on the Anime Bath Scene Wiki has some great screenshots that Im not sure I can include in this review. What I probably can get away with though is a picture of the main character harvesting radishes with her ass. 500https://i.ur.com/pkZsXRW.png CHARACTERS Good Enough The main characters consist of the outgoing determined protagonist with a lot to prove the cool and composed friend the shy one whos actually really smart and the idiot. Some of the supporting characters include the horny one the really buff one the one that speaks in engrish the loli and the tomboy. This description might sound like the cast of every show ever and youd be right in thinking that. Theres definitely not a lot of innovation in the characters but they do the job. Despite not being super unique they still made me feel hype during the hype moments and sad during the sad moments. Their victories felt like my victories I was invested in their growth and I wanted them to succeed. Honestly all this show needed was average characters and nothing more. The whole point of Keijo is to deliver good dumb fun and this cast absolutely provided that. ART AND ANIMATION Great The show normally looks pretty average but thats only because the studio saved their budget for the matches. Keijo matches are more like fights than sports matches and are super dynamic. Theyre filled with insane effects bold outlines great animation and tons of movement. Every attack has weight and speed behind it and you can really feel the impacts when they land. https://i.ur.com/6u2b7BN.gif Attacks have ridiculous names such as Vacuum Butt Cannon and Butt Missile Stance 5: Anal Probe Missile with visual flair to match. They also reference other anime with moves such as Buttack on Titan and Gate of Bootylon. The fights in Keijo were both epic and hilarious as hell to watch. I lost track of how many times I burst out laughing from how absurd it was and the high quality of the action scenes really added to the atmosphere the show builds. 400https://i.ur.com/zHGPoP6.gif MUSIC AND SOUND Great The OP rocks and got me pumped up for the episode but wasnt super memorable. I definitely wouldnt listen to it outside of the anime. I personally would have liked it to be more insanely hype and loud which would have added to the epic over the top vibe that the show tries to go for. All in all though the opening song is good enough and I cant fault it too much. I just mentioned that I wanted super over the top sounds to match the rest of the show and the sound design during fights does exactly that. Every attack that could possibly benefit from having sounds thrown in like robotic stomping impact noises dogs snarling and explosion noises has them this is supposed to be a wrestling anime btw. Its impossible for me to do it justice by just writing about it but listening to the fights was just as enjoyable as watching them. WHO SHOULD WATCH THIS If youre in the mood for some lighthearted dumb ecchi fun and dont mind a very traditional sports shounen storyline you will enjoy this show a lot. It also helps if you appreciate a good fight scene or two. RECOMMENDATIONS I unfortunately havent seen any of these but shows such as How Heavy Are The Dumbbells You Lifthttps://anilist.co/anime/107226/HowHeavyAretheDumbbellsYouLift/ Iwakakeru Sport Climbing Girlshttps://anilist.co/anime/117757/IwakakeruSportClimbingGirls/ and Food Warshttps://anilist.co/anime/20923/FoodWarsShokugekinoSoma/ fit the bill of ecchi/sport or ecchi/shounen shows and probably scratch the same itch as Keijo. CONCLUSION Keijo is great. It kind of fails as a sports shounen parody because of its plot and characters but more than makes up for it with the butts fights and absurd premise of the sport. This shit is absolutely idiotic and my primitive chimpanzee brain was hollering with delight from start to finish. Visit my profile groggy1 to give feedback or to see my other work
