Those of you who actually browse this blog will probably be wondering where I have been for the past month. Between my part-time job, a few off-site commissions and some challenges in my personal life, I’ve struggled to find the motivation necessary to churn out stories like I did over the summer. As things balance themselves out, I should get back into a routine, so please be patient!
That said, one of the hobbies I partake in during my downtime is watching Anime, particularly ones with bizarre plots and questionable themes. A series fitting that description just so happened to fall under media crossfire this week; its depictions of women engaged in a water-based fighting competition were heavily criticized as being misogynistic in nature. The more scrutiny it gathered, the more curious I became about it. Therefore, I would like to give my thoughts on the “Keijo!” anime based upon my initial impressions and questions of it.
From what I read on TVTropes, this series started as a manga in 2013. As of this writing, four of the episodes have aired in Japanese on the Crunchyroll network, while one of the episodes has released in English on Funimation. As someone who prefers English audio, I have only seen the first episode as of this writing. Allow me to give a brief overview of the story and what the characters are setting out to do.
