The new girls were wonderful, everything else was fun and enjoyable. You can definitely see Trigger's style of choppy animation (is this a budget thing or just the style they've decided to run with). It felt like watching what would happen if Trigger made a Disney movie.

Standard post-apocalyptic 'what-if' story containing computerized humanity. Reminds me of the 'Brain Scratch' episode of Cowboy Bebop (go figure Steven Blum dubs a character in this one too) when there was a suicide cult mentioning you can become digital and live on forever. Characters are pretty standard and the plot was ok. The common question of is becoming an 'evolved form' of humanity really a good idea.

As a disclaimer, I do not dislike raunchy/crass comedy. It just has to be done right...which Shimoneta fails to do and far much worse

I've seen comedy anime which made me apathetic, but it's rare to see an anime that's comedy that is SO bad that it actually made me pissed. What's worse is that it repeats the same shit over and over. No joke, this is the worst comedy anime I've ever witnessed.

There are plotholes out the ass too. How come she didn't use her immunity when she bum rushed the porn artist's estate like at the train station? Who would believe that she was raped by the PMs if there were all those witnesses? How come there are no security cameras because attempted rape slips by easily thanks to plot inconsistency for the sake of comedy. It can detect someone's drawing motions and dirty words but not movements.

Oh and I've heard from those that say 'Oh it's not the humor what about the social commentary?' Look, if I wanted a social commentary with mass surveillance I'd watch Psycho Pass. Not some anime with weak surveillance and our hero is a woman with a sixth grade sense of humor and her easily swayed beta of a pawn. Yes I get it, it's supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek criticism of out-of-hand censorship.

TL;DR A terrible comedy with an interesting idea which also fails with it's half-assed Fahrenheit 451 attempt at mass surveillance plus an annoying woman-child as a female main character.
