Eiken: Eikenbu yori Ai wo Komete

Zashono Academy is a massive educational institution with over thirty-five thousand students enrolled across all grades. It is here that the plain and unpopular Densuke Mifune enrolls in high school. While he looks forward to blending into the crowd, circumstances change when he runs into Chiharu Shinonome, an incredibly attractive and intelligent girl who has captured the attention of all the students at the school. Witnessing the encounter between the two, Kirika Misono pressures them into joining her mysterious "Eiken Club" to compete in the school's annual club tournament. The tournament causes Densuke to become more intimate with his fellow club members, but will he be able to maintain his composure or will he give in to their bold advances?

Perfect for what is trying to be n_n

Eiken was the first anime in showing BIG BREASTS.

This series literally created the Bakunyuu genre of anime and manga.

This was a first, a pioneer.
The story is bad, and that's good, the characters are very basic but with well defined personalities

I'm pretty sure A LOT of people hate this anime because it is pure fetish and noting more, but that's exactly what the show is about.
...
Don't try to watch this for the story or the characters, because what this anime wanted to show was BIG BOOBS, and it does it very good n_n

This is an anime for lovers of HUGE BOOBS that just want to turn off their brain and enjoy some senless ecchi scenes.

Mixed Feelings

I decided to give this a watch on Tubi because anyone familiar with Anime is bound to see bits and pieces of this scattered on the internet. It was particularly notorious when it came out (I WONDER WHY) but it hasn't really hung around in the public conscious. I guess you can say my curiosity was peaked, and now I can comfortably say that I am dedicating the rest of my life to killing whatever part of me that was curious in seeing this. Holy shit. What the fuck?

This has got to be some sort of Pandora's box of pure depravity and in a just ... world it sits on the shelf somewhere between Salò and A Serbian Film. It's like all the perverts in Japan got together and brainstormed every single screwed up thing they could get away with on television. This would literally be impossible to make in any other country because no one else would never even be able to conceive any of this. Not even an ounce and certainly not as concentrated and unrelenting as this. It's honestly so degenerate to the point of absolute absurdity that it becomes hard to even be offended. I'm not entirely convinced this isn't some sort of cryptic meta parody of Japanese fetish culture but Occam's Razor dictates it's just a vanity project by some freaks who never got shamed enough in their lives.

Can you recommend this to someone? I would say that certainly anyone who wants to see this should not be allowed anywhere near it. It's also way too extreme to watch in any ironic fashion and no way in hell would I put this on with any friends I want to continue to respect me. I suppose that leaves poor saps like me who are dumb enough to watch it. To be honest I wouldn't recommend it to them either.

In short, I'm taking a cold shower.

Trying out a slightly different approach for my reviews. I'm listing the scores for each section now :D I'm glad I stayed up late for this. This is a grotty treat with a flavor that will linger in the back of my mind forever.
Review:
Story/Plot - 1 "basically there's this high school girl except she's got huge boobs. i mean some serious honkers. a real set of badonkers. packin some dobonhonkeros. massive dohoonkabhankoloos. big ol' tonhongerekoogers. Huge bonkhonagahoogs. humongous hungolomghononoloughongous." Cliché's, cliché's, and more cliché's. Some nerdy loser kid with no qualities that make him stand out (even the anime itself points this out lol) ... enrolls in a school and gets forced to join a club where he is surrounded by hot women and ecchi shenanigans ensue. Hmm where have I heard this type of story before? One cool thing to take note of is the school in this world; it's massive, and has over 50,000 students ranging from all age groups. The plot revolving around Mifune and Chiharu is uninteresting and cliché. The insane tournament is something I honestly wasn't expecting and was pleasantly surprised by it due to how ridiculous it was.
Characters - 1 Generic, run-of-the-mill characters that are as bland as a cheap plastic toy with a label saying "Made in China". I kid you not, every single character aside from the protagonist's purpose in this story is to produce fanservice for the audience.
Visuals - 6 This is one of the only areas I'll actually give credit for. While the art is your typical 2000's generic shlock anime art, the animation turned out to be fairly good. Since this is an OVA, expect higher production quality. Some scenes were pretty smooth and some fanservice scenes while I am ashamed to admit it, I thought were pretty good. However, this anime takes the fanservice way too far, I'm talking out of this Earth's atmosphere and geostationary orbit level far. The breast sizes on these characters ranges from huge, to absolutely jarringly massive! When the hell have you ever seen an 11 YEAR OLD with 111cm E-cup honkers!? I'm under the impression that this might have been satirical...
Audio - 4 Nothing really noteworthy. Voice acting was alright.

Overall: This anime is downright BLOATED with fanservice, and offers almost nothing of value. It is so in-your-face and repetitive it's exhausting. If you love bad anime and want to get a good laugh out of it like I did, go ahead. Otherwise, stay away from this crap.
"Objective" score: 2.5/10
Subjective score: 3.8/10
Overall score: 3.15/10 Rounded down to 3/10 for MAL score.
