In the world of anime and manga, many fans have come to accept abnormal scenes, situations and characters in what we're enjoying. Perhaps a well developed character and engaging story might have taken an odd twist with its story to entertain us and establish a unique experience. Maybe the premise is so ludicrous and absurd that we can't help to laugh and enjoy it in a "That's so crazy" sort of way.

If I had to categorize An Inquiry Concerning A Mechanistic Worldview of the Pituitary Gland, I'd pick the latter. This One-Shot does not really have any sort of real premise to speak of and I understood this when I decided to read this work. In a world where babies pop out grotesquely and faster than you can count, did this bizarre tale entertain? Truth be told, no it does not.

The whole manga is just one big shock factor that does not try to establish any sort of theme and relies on grotesque images and scenes to try and gain a reaction from the reader. There's no clever writing or jokes either that made me enjoy this as I was just full of disgust when I finished.

The art is nothing to write home about as the art is not very detailed and the character models are quite simple.

If you're entertained or just amused by anything that's really grotesque and shocking, go ahead and check it out as it's fairly short. Other than that, I can't say I'd recommend this to anyone.
