I’ve witnessed countless anime episodes packed with fan service, but none have left me laughing as much as “Ayoi Neko Overrun”. AIC, the studio behind this series, sure knows how to bring the humor and keep the audience entertained. In this particular episode, nudity takes center stage, involving not just the female characters, but the male ones as well.

The Curse of Nakedness

At first, I was skeptical about the constant presence of naked characters. But as the episode progressed, I found myself chuckling at the comedic situations that unfolded. For instance, Daigorou’s offer to warm up Ieyasu’s body with his own was absolutely hilarious. And who could forget when Takumi found himself face-to-face with a beautiful girl named Chikumaen Kaho, who wasted no time undressing in front of him?

Clichés with a Twist

You might think this episode is all about boobs and homoeroticism based on the screenshots, but the reality is quite different. The screenwriters were well-aware of the cliché hot spring episode and cleverly poked fun at it. The comedic timing, along with the outbursts and exaggerated reactions, made it clear that the intention was to parody the trope. It’s safe to say that the episode was more awkward than exciting, with its abundance of T&A and moaning. However, this allowed the humor to take center stage, making it an unexpectedly entertaining experience.

Unexpected Surprises

Despite the focus on fan service, the episode managed to slip in some unexpected developments. The introduction of Kaho and her interest in Takumi added a new layer to the story. Additionally, we got to see Chise’s disappointment when her parents couldn’t join the outing to meet her new friends. These subtle touches brought a surprising depth to an episode that initially seemed solely fan-service-oriented.

What’s Next?

As the episode came to a close, I couldn’t help but wonder what lies ahead for the various romantic pairings in Takumi’s harem. Will the series settle back down and explore these relationships further? With AIC’s track record of keeping viewers on their toes, it’s difficult to predict. Regardless, I’m thoroughly enjoying the unexpected twists and turns of “Ayoi Neko Overrun” and eagerly anticipate the surprises to come.
