Highschool girls ep. 2
Posted by NorthlanderWell, it would seem each episode tackles a different topic in the exciting and glamorous life of a highschool girl. Naturally, last episode was about panties, mostly, but also a little bit about the expectations of soon-to-be highschoolers and the cruel visage of reality. The latter, come to think of it, in more ways than one.
The words of today is….. wait for it….
No, not breast size. Or wait…. yes, that too. It’s time for…..
GIRLS’ PHYSICAL EXAMINATION!
And that’s the entire episode. All dedicated to the wonderful world of girls’ physical examination. Now, they did have that kind of shit in Azumanga Daioh as well. However, since Azumanga Daioh is a GOOD show, they kept all the perverted shenanigans OFFSCREEN and the entire examination at a minimum of screentime in the episode (which wasn’t all about physical examinations in the first place.) But nooooo, Highschool Girls has to go the full mile, making it into a marathon session with…. let’s see…
Yeah, that’s right. Fourteen different posts. Fourteen different aspects of physical examination. And I don’t remember whether the show actually brought the viewers through the full tour, because it didn’t waste any time in putting us on its regular track. So here you are, in case you forgot all about what Highschool girls is all about.
Uploading screenshots to Manganime might be a fairly easy task, but it’s also a quite tedious one. That I felt like such a voyeristic pervert while doing so for this anime is certainly not helping. But, as you can see, Highschool Girls is still about the fanservice and the pantyshots. There was absolutely NO reason for this episode to be made. (I know… there was no reason for this SHOW to be made, but just bear with me here.) Two episodes in, and I can already tell that Highschool Girls is just as vapid and squicky as any other made-for-otaku series. The fact that it seems to have gotten a bit of a budget is nothing short of insulting.
And wow, I just realized I posted fourteen images with various fanservice shots from the episode. For the record, this is not what I meant when I referred to the fourteen aspects of physical examination. Still, this is the kind of small ironies that makes life worth living.
Anyway, to round off this rant/review, I’d like to introduce you guys to this episode’s WTF scene. You remember the “pubic hair and scissors” screenshot in the last episode review, right? Well, if you thought THAT was a huge pile of WTF, wait until you get a load of this:
…I think you can stop making excuses for this show. It’s time to just face facts and realize that Highschool Girls just doesn’t have any redeeming factors. If it’s alright with you, I’ll just put it in my “fucking piece of shit” folder cabinet and move on with my life. It’s short enough as it is, and I don’t want to waste it on watching these retards go on a date. Considering how the GIRLS in this show is, I am certainly not wanting to find out how the boys are. Judging by the “next episode” preview, we got a “be afraid. Be VERY afraid” moment in store.

Several days ago I was really, really bored, so I downloaded this episode. I watched a bit and it suddenly dawned to me that browsing random boring sites in the Internet or just staring into the wall was a much better option than watching this abomimation. I couldn’t even watch a third of the episode before getting totally disgusted by it and I have watched almost all the episodes of Mai-Otome twice (yes, I know that was pretty stupid of me :)), so this must be a very bad series.
“The fact that it seems to have gotten a bit of a budget is nothing short of insulting.”
So very true.

Reading this almost made me forget how severely non-funny the episode was. It must be in that moment of weakness that I decided to watch episode 3 too.
“I don’t want to waste it on watching these retards go on a date.” - Think it might actually be funny? Maybe? *pauses* Right…

I didn’t think so either. Don’t know what the WTF moment in that episode will be, but from the preview in this episode, I can guess. >_O

[…] In episode 3, it’s time for the Physical Examinations at Ouran High School. Seeing as the last anime i watched about this subject, High School Girls was EXTREMELY disgusting, it is with relief that I report that Ouran navigated through with the usual flair of comedy and humor, not to mention Shounen fanservice […]

Well, I thought this episode was hilarious. Great personalities. If you’re not familiar with Japanese culture, they’re relatively obsessed with sex. For instance, it’s not strange to find the person sitting next to you in a public train in Japan looking at a magazine that would raise hairs on mother’s necks in America. Anyway, I vote 5/5 for the predictable yet hilarious clash of narcissism/restraint, kookiness/seriousness, etc. The timing in these shows always seems just right to me.

[…] After that, in an even more welcome departure from the anime, there is no physical examination hijinks. (see episode 2 NSFW!). Instead we get the Uniform Examination. This part is good. It’s refreshing to see the characters act like… you know, high school girls, instead of dumb, not quite sane chicks. […]

Hehe, I like High School Girls. I read the manga first, and oh god, it’s hilarious..because it’s based on true stories about the author’s life in highschool, apparently.
The guys in the story aren’t as stupid as the girls, though. They go on a mixer type date with one of their friends (and the smaller one that’s like a little get almost loses her virginity, because she doesn’t realize she’s in a love motel) and they make complete fools of themselves in front of the guys, and they’re dying to leave.
The show, while disgusting, is funny. I guess it’s more funny to me since I know a lot of girls are dumb like this. Plus, it’s not like it was rated for little kids, like Azumanga Daioh could’ve been (I don’t know the actual rating on these) I do believe the manga is rated 16+ though, so they can do more with it.
If it hasn’t been licensed, yet, you can get it from animesuki, but I watched it in the summer, so it might’ve been licensed since then.
The show gets less disgusting as it goes on, though. Well, besides a couple of speedo jokes from the gym teacher when the girls so swimming (and the girls suddenly worrying about getting pregnent by swimming with him) and one where the girl who was super excited about highschool (I forgot all of their names, forgive me) thinks she met her childhood crush, and tries to give him a scarf she knit at some party..but it turns out the guy she liked turned into a gross, large guy… and he puts on the scarf and drags her away. It’s funny if you can get your mind past the parts that are iffy. The manga isn’t as horrible, except for like..two parts, though..three, actually…meh.. I do agree, the thing about the peeing in the cup..just..kind of…made me go “What the flying butter?!”

Tim from THEM agrees that the show does get better later in. I dunno… it still doesn’t make me want to watch more of it.

……riiiight. ¬_¬
Well.. where to start with such a poorly written, obviously biased, and illogical entry. There are about a million places to jump in and pretty much easily explain how poor of an attempt this article is overtrying to make a point that falls short of actually making ANY point.
So i’ll probably just jump in by saying first of all, that from the looks of it, your opinion sprouts completely and solely from the dreaded “fanservice”.
OH NO!! There’s fanservice in an anime! And a lot of it, too. Surely this is something that must be compared to every other anime, and it’s immediatly a call to arms against it! After all, fanservice in anime has NEEEVER existed before. It’s also NEEEVERR been thought of by anyone as something other than “morally repugnant.”
Yes. Let’s just alert the deceny police abotu somethign you stumbled across, and call something a “fucking piece of shit” (to quote your eloqent term for this series) for no other clear reason other than apparently the ideas of a copious amount of fanservice personally being offensive to you.
Let’s play another game while we’re at it. Let’s completely disregard the idea that sex appeal is actually something that a good sized portion of actual anime fans seem to actually take a liking to as an interest.. but on top of that, let’s completely disregard what is mostly a PARODY of such things taken to a ridiculous extreme for the sake of.. maybe making somewhat of a point with it’s content? Yes. Thinking of such things before launching into a halfassed wanna-be “smartass” tirade is apparently a bit too much of common sense to process for EVERYONE.
Yup. It’s easy to play pretend and to selfishly and rather ignorantly believe that such points are relevant to everyone, in order to conclusively determine something to be a “piece of shit” by incredibly biased standards of someone distancing themselves from the material with a disgusted look simply for what it is, and what said article author has a personal distaste for.
But, let’s not stop at that. Let’s (rather hypocritically as well) state something as ridiculously self-absorbed as “think you can stop making excuses for this show” and “It’s time to just face facts and realize that Highschool Girls just doesn’t have any redeeming factors.”
The truth here is that based on the pretty much unavoidable tone of the entire “review” being that you are personally offended by something that does NOT immediately offend everyone who thinks differently then you, but who also seems to actually take an interest in either one of two things.. Fanservice for the sake of fanserivce (Which there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed in admitting) or… the inherent humor in the idea of lightly self-paroding (however much) the idea of “too much fanservice”.
Basically, I think if there is a time in which any facts have to be faced it’s that you can stop pretending that your word on a certain type of demographic appeal means more than a handful of bullshit to anyone but people such as yourself that find one thing to be personally offended by (no matter if it’s something that just may appeal to someone else) and condemm a show for seemingly this one point, and bullshit your way out of this paper bag by concluding that the series has “nothing redeemable”
But I suppose that when someone can make a blanket statement without bothering to attack any other points that might even sound the least bit valid is where you would show yourself to ultimately have no point and to have realized what I already have. That you’ve pretty much wasted your own time, and the time of anyone else who might stop by this pile of badly explained, biased, self-righteous crap called a “review”.
Maybe it could have been taken seriously if your one complaint on a series “without merit” had an ounce of credibility to it, rather than your self-centered and baselessly pathetic whining of “Fanservice is bad!!”
Simply put, through this response, I sincerely hope you realize that your article is a pile of self-centered horseshit at the least and laughably worthless at the most. You offer no insight to the series, you hardly explain anything about it, and one could only assume you’re tempting others to bash it based on the conclusive proof of 14 screenshots of fanservice that offends YOU.
Believe me, every day, I see this type of mindless bile scattered about on the pointless blogs of other self-appointed “smartasses” who wrongly believe that instantly using the internet as some kind of soapbox to rally other people against what you don’t happen to love, is somehow relevant to everyone else in the world, or that everyone should agree with everything you have to say just because you can state it so cynically.
I think that at both this, and having a point are two critical areas in which every word of this article fails miserably. That might be something for you to learn from in future rants. But seeing your brilliant logic HERE, i’m kind of doubting that you’re going to learn any lesson here, short of probably just becoming pissy about someone actually taking the time to tell you how full of crap you are.

Um, it may suprise you to learn this, but this is my/our blog, which is dedicated to making fun of shows like this. There are plenty of blogs that like shows like these, however we, and “Fanboy’s Must Die” have a negative attitude for stuff like this.
It’s called freedom of speech and HAVING AN OPINION. It’s okay if you have a different opinion, we probably don’t even care. You don’t have the right to insult us because of our opinions. If you feel differently, start your own blog and write reviews. You obviously look like you can write coherrently.
Try keeping in mind the foolishness of visiting someones site and flaming them because of a difference of opinion. You won’t last long on the internet if you think you can insult everyone that thinks differently to you.
December 12th, 2006 at 10:30 pm
That was pretty much my first reaction too:
Gee, bloggers write to state their own, biased opinions. Wow. I have seen the light now. Apparently you didn’t read other entries or you’d know this blog is more about mocking anime in an admittedly over the top fashion (see: fun, humor).
Karmatic, get your own blog so that you can be another self-appointed “smartass” who uses the internet as some kind of soapbox to rally other people around what he happens to love. Heck, your comment could be your first post, it’s long and elaborate enough. By all means, don’t let your opinions go unheard. XD
No matter. Flames are fun too. ^^
December 13th, 2006 at 3:54 am
I never said fanservice in itself is bad. It’s when the content consists of little else that I get fed up with it pretty fast. And yes, I think too many shows today rely on this kind of crap to carry viewer interest as long as it can, including this one.
You can call it as biased as much as you want, but the only reason you wrote paragraphs upon paragraphs of sanctimonius asshattery was because I didn’t mirror your own opinion of the show. Probably. (Provided you’ve actually watched it, instead of thinking I attacked you because you like some tits to go with your anime. Hell, if THAT’S what you want, I can make a lot of suggestions or recommendations that isn’t this show or any similar vapidly indulgent ones.)
And this is my opinion, biased as it is. (Which, for the record, most opinions tend to be.) For all your complaining and bitching, you provided absolutely no counterpoints yourself beyond the “you don’t like fanservice, so you must be a frigid, illiteral windbag”. So, by all means; do enlighten me about what I apparently missed in this show in my obvious state of denial. Convince me that this show is more than several 23 minute chunks of female lingerie and body functions, and that I should spend more time on it. Because you sure as hell didn’t do that on your little rant up there.
Or you can go find a blog that caters more to your tastes. They’re out there.

Since google bought out youtube it has turned even stupider and will soon be another google videos. I can’t find some of the episodes so if anyone can give me a site I can’t watch them for free. Please and thank you

April 24th, 2007 at 9:40 am
Wow, that’s quite the generalized description. Care to elaborate?

Sigh… what can we really say? Sex sells, even in 2D…
