I haven't read the manga but the Keijo anime is hilarious because it's an extremely serious and well animated martial arts/sports show.

The manga is this but with a cool mom

Instead of Bikini Warriors I'm watching Seven Mortal Sins

I don't remember liking it when it first came out but it's actually pretty fun (not just because the censor bubbles are gone)

Vanity would say yes, though given the limited appearance options of most MMOs now lots of people who might make their avatar look like themselves probably don't simply because they can't. That said, I find it funnier he not only made his avatar an exact copy of himself but made his outfit just a regular outfit bar a sword and some kind of chest armor.

im not accusing anyone of anything but its hard for me to get into keijo in a world where female athletes are criticized if they arent pretty among, erm, other things. if it was just butt battles itd be one thing but the specific plot point of 'well i used to do ___ sport but this one makes more money' has always weirded me out. well, peace.

Be fair, the other guy went for a fantasy outfit and looks like this



The girl at least gave herself bigger, pinker hair and cat ears. Which I think everyone would do IRL if given the option

Yea, see that I can understand. Main Character-kun just giving himself a sword and buckler or whatever it's called just feels so tame and boring in comparison. Or maybe runners and a t-shirt are a fantasy for him, because his parents are really strict so he has a low bar for what "stuffI could never wear in real life" is.

I could not get into GuP at all. I'll probably give it another shot one of these days.

Endorph, I honestly think you would like Keijo!!, but I can understand your reservations. I'm not going to go 'Keijo is feminist, actually', but I think it handles it's material pretty well for what it is. What it's material is, is butts, and also boobs, and the best special attack names of all time. That said, it's not like a masterpiece of modern anime, it's just a good time.

Yeah, seconding this. It's a good sports show that loves boobs and butts and honestly the biggest shocker about it is that it's not lewd? Like, with that premise you'd expect it to be 100% sex comedy with fan service, but instead... I mean, it has sex comedy, but it's sports anime first. And I like that.

I'm with Endorph where the "I don't exactly wanna do it, but slamming girls with my rear end makes me more money so Here We Are" is like, just offputting enough to where I feel weird about it

As somebody who sort of liked Keijo!!!!!!!! It is absolutely trying to be a fanservice thing first and foremost. Fanservice Gimmick aside, it doesn't really do much different from your standard sports, which while it can normalize it a bit, but that also hurts it's writing, which boils down to a lot of the bog standard tricks of the trade. One big mark against it is that, at least in the Anime adaptation, there is very little actual character development (and whats there is basically i learned a new technique), which is a big mark against any story focusing on the growth of the characters.

I'll be contrarian and say that Endorph wouldn't like Keijo!!!!!!!!

Namtab

Keijo!!!!!!!! Is absolutely a fan service comedy, and I kinda like how the initial motivation for getting into the sport is that she has a poor family and the sport of keijo!!!!!!!! is the most profitable way for her to use her gymnastic abilities.

Keijo!!!!!!!! is basically rear end JoJo and it's great. It's absolutely stupid and everyone has Stands and other shounen-anime superpowers that they use with their butts. Despite it clearly knowing exactly how dumb its premise is and doubling down on it constantly in the most over-the-top ways it can think of, it presents it all as though it were deadly serious, which makes the whole thing all the funnier.

also, the early episodes of girls und panzer are kinda plodding since it has to introduce tanks to an untanked audience, but i'd say watch up to the ep where they have a skirmish match against the british. seeing the tactics and stuff miho tried really sold me on it.

also also, honestly the whole 'it's not lewd at all!! it's just rear end JoJo's!' thing is what weirds me out about Keijo. I'd be more into it if it was just queen's blade or something instead of playing that weird game of hot foot. It's too sex-focused to be anything but a sex-comedy but it's also trying to not be just a sex comedy and the end result is bizarre tonally to me.
