About SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist

Meet SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist (下ネタという概念が存在しない退屈な世界), a comedy and ecchi anime by J.C.STAFF (2015). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: The novel's story is set 16 years after the "Law for Public Order and Morals in Healthy Child-Raising" banned coarse language in the country. Tanukichi Okuma enrolls in the country's leading elite public morals school and is soon invited into the Anti-Societal Organization (SOX) by its founder, Ayame Kajou.

Soon after, as a member blackmailed into joining by Ayame, Tanukichi ends up taking part in obscene acts of terrorism against the talented learner council president Anna (for whom Tanukichi has a crush).

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Yuusuke Kobayashi as Tanukichi Okuma and Shizuka Ishigami as Ayame Kajou. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
