Eiken Review

Boy oh boy anime fans do I have some thoughts about this series for years now i've seen clips of it on Youtube usually with people saying it's a bad anime and i've seen pictures of it online and it has been on my list of things to watch for a while well now the time has finally come for me to sit down and talk about Eiken so here we go.

Now here is where I would usually list of whatever the plot of the series or movie might be but this series has decided to do me a favor and not have a plot. Yeah that's right there's no plot at all to this series heck I even considered calling it panty shots the anime because there's more panty shots in this anime then there is actual plot thank god this anime was only two episodes long imagine if this thing was thirteen or god forbid twenty five episodes long.

As is usual with these anime reviews i'm only reviewing the dubbed version of the show and so starring in this terrible show is Bryce Papenbrook as Densuke , Stephanie Sheh as Chiharu , Cindy Robinson as Kirika , Rebecca Forstadt as Komoe and Kyoko , Mona Marshall as Grace Lin , Jessica Gee as Yuriko and Kathy Keller as Advisory Teacher / The Teacher. 

How do I put this the acting in the show is the best thing in it and that's saying something because there are times where the acting is pretty freaking bad I can't really blame the actors here because alot of them are really good voice actors but the issue is there not given alot to work with both in terms of plot and in terms of character everything is virtually nonexistent and that comes down to the show makers since the actors can only do so much. 

When the acting is bad it's really bad and that kills me to say because alot of these actors are famous dub actors but there are times where a line delivery is of and it's very noticeable like very noticeable and i'm sat here wondering why didn't they use a better take or was the dubbing staff to busy laughing at how bad this show is to give a damn.

Here is where I would normally say like how animated the show and give my thoughts on the animation and trust me I will be talking about the animation there's just something else I want to talk about more. Now I can handle a show that doesn't have any plot heck I can even handle a show that has alot of fan service but what I cannot handle is the fact that not only do they give an ELEVEN year old very big boobs but alot of those pant shots I mentioned they to her that is just one hundred degrees of wrong no person in there right mind would want to watch a show where an eleven year old has bigger boobs then the older girls on show nor would would they want to watch a show where that same character gets a tone of panty shots.

The animation for the show was done by J.C. Staff  who have worked on Prison School and i'll admit that the animation isn't as bad as I thought it would be don't get me wrong it's clearly not there best work but considering that it could have been alot worse i'm happy with animation that is just ok yes the backgrounds aren't as detailed as other shows and the animation isn't as fluid but in my mind it could have been ten times worse.

This show / OVA is borderline hentai i'm not even kidding when I say that it's so close to hentai that it might as well be one heck if you had two of the characters kissing it would have been considered one because of the fact that this show is so adult but it's not adult in it's themes or it's plot but instead it's adult because of boobs and that's it.

Now i've watched alot of Hanna-Barbara over the past year or so and if you've seen any of there shows then you'll know that they repeat alot of animation this series repeats more animation then even they did and it's not like it's suitable like it's just the backgrounds that are repeating like in shows like The Flintstones for example no when they repeat animation my god do you notice it and that's not a good thing at all.

This show trys to have romance init but the issue is the romance is so badly done that it takes you a good while to even notice that there's meant to be a romance going on I will grant people this the romance is better then in any movie where the two people involved spend less then five minuets together so that's a plus but tho the two people involved barely spend anytime together so we don't get a sense on if they'll work well as a couple or not.

I wish I could comment on the jokes in this series I really do but the show has no jokes to speak of heck I don't think I laughed once during both the episodes if anything I groaned more times then I laughed. It should have been really easy to have funny jokes in this show you have girls with really large boobs in your main cast that's something you can make fun of yes I know that's only one joke but it's one more then what this show had.

Overall this show is perhaps the worst anime i've ever watched and i'm so glad that it was only two episodes if this thing was a whole series I would have freaking lost my mind I don't think it needs saying but i'm going to say it anyway this show gets a big fat 0 out of 10 from me.
