So apparently there is a series of anime shorts called Henkei Shoujo.

They've released three 1 minute long shorts of different anime girls just...

Well it's hard to explain.

That moment where you've watched enough anime where this only slightly surprises you.

 

[Lumination]

Of course it needed a prolonged panty shot.

 

[LongDongJunon]

I mean that gif sums it all up

 

[Theonik]

OP GIF is me.

 

[Shauni]

Just straight up stole that girls hat

 

[Sesuadra]

It's literally in the name of the show >_>

But damn it's horrible lol

This didn't surprise me at all. I'm way past the point of no return.

Neat!

I was expecting something wackiest or funnier. Anime shorts can be pretty great.

Also the last clip with Gymnopédie. That song always takes my back to Suda 51's excellent Flower, Sun and Rain.

She ain't even return the hat :lol

I really hate 3d models in anime.

 

[Zackat]

this is satire right?

Back in my day we would hand draw every pair of knickers. Animators these days smh

This is great for everybody who sexually identifies as an attack helicopter.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

Was watching the second gif when I heard my girlfriend opening the door. Switched tabs in shame, because I couldn't explain this.

 

[Kneefoil]

The first one caught me off guard, but the others are just the same fanservicey joke recycled over and over. Maybe it's some kind of meta commentary about the anime industry.

 

[Wheeljack539]

That moment where you've watched enough anime where this only slightly surprises you.

There should be a thread of when you've seen/heard enough from Japan that it no longer surprises or shocks you.

I've long since been immune since the early 2000s.

I tried watching the third episode but the sound makes it uncomfortable in this setting.

See, for a brief moment we reached anime perfection.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Beat me to it...

 

[nkarafo]

Αh. Shitty, cheap looking CGI during the transformation scenes. It looks like a DS game at higher res through an emulator. You can even count the polygons.

 

[Aselith]

The plane had cleavage

Even when transformed into a car they don't forget about showing off the chest and panty...

The plane had cleavage

And panties.
So did the car and robot.

 

[Nepenthe]

The panty shot is where it lost me. This is what I was talking about in the fanservice thread.

Literally no reason to show that- you could've done it from another angle that communicates the same information narrative-wise without objectifying a school-age looking girl.

Or is she really an airplane and thus it makes it okay?

Fuck otaku culture. I swear.

If I'm being really real here, I understood the post-transformation underwear shots as a subversion of the trope. They played it straight first just so the later shots hit with some irony.

 

[TheGameshark]

lol I wasn't expecting that. The fact that they still include the panty and boob shots makes it seem like satire.
