Saishuu Shiken Kujira

There is a magical town that exists. In it, a giant whale drifts aimlessly in the clouds above. Its townspeople possess powers that make the inane aspects of life a little more interesting. Most importantly, this town is chock-full with some hot magical chicks!

That is what Mutsumi finds out when he moves to his new home. He is a little put off by the supernatural activities, but he quickly, QUICKLY gets over it. More than the issue of magic, there are some freaking hot babes who all seem to be interested in him! Isn't that wonderful?? Forget that his little sister is practically giving birth to stuffed animals or that there are aliens and mecha hiding all over the place--there are girls whose panties he can get to check out!

Saishuu Shiken Kujira is an ecchi harem-styled anime that downplays on the romance (somewhat) and puts greater emphasis on the supernatural elements of the town (and the unnatural breast sizes of the female cast). Each episode basically follows dipping your hand into the generic girl bucket and pulling out the a female character who will spend the next five minutes or so with the lead male character. It is a boring, direction-less anime that is painfully dull. It has a weak start and continues being weak, even taking a drop into the "What the hell...?" realm. Then there are the pitiful, futile attempts in the later episodes of this anime having a real storyline and plot. Those attempts simply remain as such.

Art is decent, and granted that this is an ONA which generally means that the production values would be low, it looks acceptable. Some of the characters have interesting designs, but again, they just might be Girl A or Classmate 5 from any typical eroge or galge. Ironically, they are based off of the Circus game designs, which means the source material is not good in the first place. Anyway, if you are going to make an anime about girls and their body parts, at least put a little more detail into it. Boobs are like melons or balloons hiding behind shirts--just utterly funny-looking.

Despite the decent ED theme song by eufonius, the sound aspect for this anime ranges from bad to average at best. In fact, the biggest problem are the voices for some of the characters. One girl has a voice that would make your ears urinate blood, and she is sadly one of the girls you see most often. Mutsumi's voice is irritating, though it is not bad enough to make you recoil in pain. The BGM is standard and not memorable. The nicest sounding thing is the whale.

The characters, as I said earlier, are simply uninspired and stereotypical. There is basically a "type" for every fetishist, whether you like the meganekko, the spunky tsundere, the deadpan weirdo, the adoring little sister (you know, for your "wincest" needs), the hot, stacked older chick and lots of other big-breasted females. Don't worry lolicon fans, there are under-age girls in it too, you have not been forgotten. The male characters are simply unimportant. The main character especially is basically a prop. He speaks and nothing of importance comes out of his mouth--that is, if he even speaks. Most of the scenes with him just has him there in the background while we get some nice fanservice. In fact, there should have been more scenes with the whale, since it is the deepest character in the lot.

Was there any potential of this being good? Maybe not, but it had the capacity to be mediocre, and yet it could not even accomplish that. The whale in the sky is possibly the only thing worth watching this anime for, as it floats there peacefully, continuously like some sort of guardian or traveller. It almost seems a little poetic. But then there's the shallow rest of this anime that exists around it.

Saishuu Shiken Kujira is a forgettable, regrettable viewing experience. Not to mention the whale seriously gets such a raw deal through the whole thing. read more

Okay to begin with it really doesn't have a good story. It jumps around and u never know what is really going on. The characters are well not to good but not to bad. The stories overall is very bad and I could make a better anime. Well although I was able to finish it I would NEVER EVER watch it again if I was paid to I could only because it was really short. At first u think that maybe u put them in the wrong order or they did that on purpose then u find out that it wasn't just that the episodes them self really don't tie together much a few do but mostly no. read more
