Shin Yaranai ka

"Shin Yaranai ka" OVA is a wonderful tribute to Junichi Yamakawa's works and one of the finest examples of crowdfunded official anime. It offers all the elements that one may call characteristic when talking about Yamakawa-sensei's manga. There's a lot of masculine energy mixed with humor, drama, and bizarre scenes. Everything is enriched by quite unique techniques, such as including real-life footages in the show, using CGI models here and there that look wacky on purpose, or really nice way of censoring things that had to be censored (yes, this anime is censored, but it doesn't take away even for a bit the joy coming ... from watching it). Keep in mind, please, that it has a lot of suggestive moments, so I wouldn't call it a completely SFW anime.

When it comes to visuals, the strongest point of this anime are the close-ups of handsome male characters starring in it, and the overall very faithful depiction of character designs and scenes known from the source material. While it shines the most with static frames, the animation itself is far from something that many would refer to as "sakugafest". To be fair, "Shin Yaranai ka" doesn't need that much complex animation. If we add to it the fact that it's kind of an indie project, then the animation quality is proper, at least in my opinion. Not great, but also not that much terrible to be called a slideshow.

Audio effects are alright. They fit all the scenes they are used in. The soundtrack is good, making this whole OVA even funnier to watch. "Kuso♂Miso Carnival" by Kaito is truly a banger.

Just one word of advice that is definitely worth noting in a review. This anime is a genuine, classic bara experience. That's why it might not click with yaoi fans. Even though I recommend checking it out regardless of whether you are a fan of bara or yaoi, it is recommended to keep in mind that this show prioritizes classic bara over yaoi.

The studio, Anime Tokyo, did a wonderful job in making an anime adaptation that mixes the old stories that are several decades old with fresh ideas. It resulted in creating a new story that is heavily influenced by the other works by Yamakawa-sensei (with the legendary "Kuso Miso Technique" having a priviledged position, making it somewhat a core of the whole story told in this OVA).

I had fun while watching "Shin Yaranai ka". It's definitely an anime I recommend for everyone interested in watching a fine bara full of humor and fancyness.

This is so bad it's good levels of entertainment, that level of The Room and Birdemic Shock and Terror where you know what you're watching is trash but you could watch it with a group of friends and just laugh your ass off with the insane plot, animation and voice acting.

This is one of the progenitors of the Bara genre and it definitely shows it age at times but that makes it even more iconic, and given how big meme culture is it honestly came at the best time.

I would recommend this to people who want a good laugh and don't take things too seriously ... so while I give it a low rating because objectively it's bad I give it a 7 in humor and entertainment.

This ova is a parody, as said in the tags, so if you come here looking for bl moe (like i was), this isn't for you as it makes fun of de bl genre itself on the entire episode. If you want to laugh a little and have free time, this might be for you then.

The show is extremely cursed, and everytime somethings happens, you will think "what the actual f-" but that is what makes it funny.
The animation is absolute trash, and some things are made (hopefully purposely) with terrible 3D animation.

The erotic scenes and bodies in general are censored, and ... sometimes even the entire frame. The voice acting is good though, but with the horrendous plot it does not delivered well.

I wouldn't recommend watching the episode if you are a BL lover, mainly because it might be targeted to people who don't like BL in the first place and just want to have a laugh and make fun of the genre. Overall not bad if it's seen merely as a parody.

Would not watch again.
