Armor Shop for Ladies & Gentlemen

MScientist0★ 6

It's a nonsensical, short fan-service filled comedy that can give you a few laughs here and there in only a couple of minutes. Obviously not anything to write home about, but it certainly is worth watching if you're just looking for something stupidly funny to fill in the gaps of your day. The series is episodic, so don't look for any compelling storyline here. The art and sound are low budget, but fair enough. I've seen a couple of 20+ minute anime that are animated worse than this. The characters fit into your standard tropes, but it's wholesome and anyone watching this series isn't going totake it seriously in the first place anyways. Overall, it's just a nice little, laid-back short series for you to get a few chuckles here and there. Not for everyone, but it's not bad.

Bad, this was bad. Then it was worse because you could see how it could have been better. I say that as someone who has a really big love of slapstick anime humor but this just couldn't pull it off and couldn't do justice to the premise. That is truly where the pain of this originated. You could see how they were trying to be funny and failing. The premise is great, it's an armor shop that sells skimpy armor for RPG characters. There's an incredible amount of material waiting to be used with that setup. But no, no, no this had to it allbadly, literally poisoning the well for me. Speaking as someone who loves slapstick anime humor, when you try to pull the same nosebleed at breasts gag more than 12 times in a 12 minute episode, it gets old fast. What's worse is when you can see the creators trying new material they thought was funny and nobody around them had the balls to tell them it wasn't. The final straw that does Armor Shop in, is the pacing. They are 12 minute episodes where it feels like you spend most of your time watching the opening credits, the end credits, and the previews. Final Verdict: Dying is easy, now comedy that's hard.
