Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (6/13 eps)
Crime Wedgie (or Cry Moo Wedgie, if you prefer) is of passable quality, but it is definitely schizophrenic. I had a difficult time watching it without having thoughts that distracted from the show: thoughts that contained words like "contrived" and "juvenile". It just seems amateurish.

Some shows can mix multiple genres and come out okay. This one doesn't. The shifts from one thing to the next are so sudden they destroy any attempt at suspension of disbelief. I would try to develop the idea that I liked the show. That idea was repeatedly repulsed when the show shifted. For example, one minute the show may be trying a sweet, innocent teenage romance thing. The next minute it is sexualizing bizarre things like scissors, hair, strangulation, and riding crops. The breath fog only makes it seem more perverse.

For me, that was the biggest issue. I may forgive amateur effort. I may also forgive jarring genre shifts. The feeling I got watching this thing was too much for me though. I have watched my share of ecchi anime. Some are pretty good. Most are downright awful. None make me feel so thoroughly unclean for having seen them.
