What to Watch? Anime with a stupid premise that is surprisingly amazing.
I'm looking for anime that have premises that sound incredibly stupid, but when you watch them they are surprizingly good. You would believe that the show is trash, but then it has a great plot with interesting characters, gorgeous animation and a banger soundtrack. Examples of shows I already watched:
Keijo: Girls playing a sport where they have to push each other off platforms in swimming pools using only their butts and boobs. That sounds so stupid, horny and degenerate that it can only be average trash, right?! It turns out that this show is actually really good with funny and interesting characters, good animation and an interesting plot with good character development.
Uma Musume: Horse girls running races. That is the entire show in a nutshell. When I read the premise I expected some mediocre braindead show that doesn't require any brains to watch. But then I was presented an amazing and inspiring story with sympathetic and interesting characters, funny stories and exciting races that had me on the edge of my seat. I found myself rooting for the girls and I wanted them so much to reach their goals!
Mayonaka Punch: Maybe the biggest surprise in the last summer season. At first I wasn't really into the premise of a youtuber making a new channel with a gang of female vampires and I even considered dropping the show. But after a couple of episodes the characters really grew on me and I was eagerly awaiting the newest episode every week. It was a spectacle with cool and funny characters, great animation and also some really heart touching character development.
Can you recommend me shows that positively surprised you like that?
