Anime: Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!!

I am a bit confused at what to think about this anime. On one side it is yet another brain dead ecchi show with ludicrous story and over the top situations and on the other it has one of the rarest things you will ever encounter in an ecchi show. That thing is called Sento and he is the lead male in the show. He is also my hero <3

You know how it is with these harem / indecisive leads. They are this lame-crybaby-eunuch-incapable of making a simple decision creatures and who are always being whacked on the head or in the crotch by these obnoxious underage girls who love him and this is the only way to show their affection to our clueless detective. It has been done as such since the whole genre was conceived in the mind of some anti-social gynophobic male and it has been copied endlessly ever since by practically all the other similar shows that followed. It is now so overused and stamped into most modern anime that it is dreadfully unappealing, hated and mocked by any demanding viewer/reader.

And then Sento comes along. He carries this baseball bat and every time he is even slightly annoyed by the girls, he immediately clubs them with it and sends them flying. This felt so original that I got gay for a few seconds. Yes people; Sento is one of the very, very few anime males who is not afraid to club lolis just for the heck of it AND I LOVE HIM FOR IT. It was about time for us dudes to fight back and take revenge for all those millions of wimps modern anime are so full of. CLUB THOSE BITCHES, YEAH!

This is played out as a parody of the stereotype of course. Sento is just a character conceived to make fun of exactly that, which it why I liked him for being the decisive-direct-bold alpha male that anime are so deprived of (meaning an anti-shounen lead). Other than that, unfortunately there isn’t anything else special about him. Despite his edgy temper and fetish for clubbing, he is otherwise the good-hearted teenager who helps girls with their problems and he simply bitch-clubs them instead of allowing them to crotch-kick him. The joke repeats too much and for too long and eventually even this SO GREAT feature is not enough to make him a great character.

That leads us to the victims of his attacks. Those violent never satisfied, always cranky, impossible to understand alien mutants … called anime girls. These creatures with brains small as peanuts and boobs bigger than my annual tax sum are always there to cause trouble even when they want to help. You know how it is with harems and ecchis; they appear out of nowhere, demand to stay in the lead’s apartment and have a huge problem staying dressed or not pulverizing him every 30 seconds for some impossible to understand reason. Well, not in this show. They have this huge weapon that electrocutes people with millions of volts yet are unable to stand a simple club swing. CLUB THOSE BITCHES, YEAH!

As the territory demands, these girls need a simple excuse to just swarm the lead; the premise of which becomes crazier and crazier as years go by. I mean at first it was just a transfer student to some school meeting chicks but after it became too simple, the girls now pop in his life by dropping from space, being summoned from alternative dimensions, appearing out of soda cans, are found naked in the garbage, are offered as presents in a box, are transformed from animals, are created as slaves, and so on and so on. In this case, the excuse is that the girls are guardian angels dressed in tight latex, with cables popping out of their asses and with mission to electrocute people who are depressed and in need of recharge of positive energy. Plus, they are invisible to most. They also make rookie mistakes in a position where peoples’ lives are at stake, so they are not exactly doing a good job.

Surely, the story is nothing but a stupid excuse as usual to have some chicks doing some unimportant thing before for not much of a reason are found naked, or groped, or in our special case, clubbed hard (YEAH). As far as personalities goes, they are just simplistic archetypes without much of development. The main four are the airhead small-breasted Plug, the megane big-breasted Alester, their main antagonist an annoying loli, and a mahou shoujo heroine on some tv anime who gets violated by tentacles every 30 seconds. And some other bimbos in the background. And that is pretty much all of it. Nothing we haven’t seen before or bother to remember later on.

What DOES make it special and probably the only thing you will remember about them is their inability to hold in their pee. Really, every time they are exited, scared, hit, whatever, THEY PISS THEMSELVES. Even the camera zooms to their legs to make sure we don’t miss it. What kind of a disgusting trope is this? I mean, ok, it is original in a way but that does not automatically make it likable. I’m sure some urine-lovin’ perverts out there will love it but for most of us low-level anti-social gynophobics, peeing your pants is repulsive. And yeah, it is again some parody on the genre but, like the clubbing (YEAH) part, it repeats too much to the point you just see it happening for the sake of happening.

So there you have it; what you will most likely remember from this anime is a guy hitting women dressed in tight spandex, who are then urinating themselves from pain (and later on from pleasure). I give the makers some credit (and value in the scores) for having the guts to create something a bit out of the ordinary. But on the other hand, I find repulsive how the only experimentation this genre ever gets is gradually more deviant fetishes and bolder erotic humor. No wonder that Youth Ordinance Bill came out to stop them before gangrape by three headed gorillas becomes a must in all broad daylight anime… for little kids.

You know what? It’s not as if I don’t like brain dead works full of deviance and erotic humor. I have in my collection titles such as Club to Death Angel (yeah, more clubbing) and Puni Puni Poemi. The thing is, those were short OVA works while this anime is a 12 episode tv series. I am sure it would work a lot better as a short feature as well, since its humor and story are quite narrowed in execution and the whole thing wouldn’t need more than 3 episodes to cover up everything. Stretching it to 12 made it tiresome, as the clubbing and the pissing were occurring all the time (and that only by assuming you could tolerate the pissing). Plus, it is a tv series. WHERE IS THE WORLD GOING TO?

Bottom line, I liked the whole “CLUB THOSE BITCHES, YEAH!” element for a few episodes and I was more than willing to accept the urine thing. But the show went on to repeat itself instead of going for something else and thus ended up overstaying its welcome. Not to mention how the story is plain ludicrous and the characters not interesting. Nice twist to a tired formula but nothing much to make it worthy in the longrun.

Oh and if anyone cares about this minor fact after all this wall of text, animation and sound are average with some quality being found only in the nude scenes (as if we didn’t expect that).

First of all, if you are expecting something epic or a masterpiece of an anime series, then this is not for you. This has TONS of ecchi... I mean the amount of ecchi in this anime is enough for 2 or 3 shows. If you are an ecchi love, then this is something you have been waiting for.

Animation
Well... if you are referring to the basic look of the anime, then its average or maybe below average, cause the way anime series are going all out in animation nowadays is awesome. Fight Ippatsu is your basic feel for an anime series... meaning there is nothing special, but only in terms of looks/appearance.

Characters drawings are done fairly well. If you watch this series, you will notice how the camera likes going up and down a girl and show you different parts of her body. This part is done well, in fact, we are given more, because you can see: A) Nipples, B) Boobs, C) Body Lines (including butt and vagina... yes vagina)

Sound
In terms of music it was bleh, meaning I didn't know or wasn't paying attention to the music for this kind of series.

There were a few voices I did not like in this anime series, but overall, the voices as a collective effort were good.

Story
Look, if you come into this series with a carefree mind, then chances are you might like this, but if you already go into the first episode with a negative attitude, then whats the point in watching this? We all know what the outcome will be if you take that approach.

Even though there isn't much of a plot to this anime, the basic outline for Fight Ippatsu is:
Juuden which is an organization that dedicates themselves to making people happy. Judden is located in another dimensional world... and only girls are in this organization (of course, its always like that). When a person gets depressed, an "Electric Charge Girl", charges this person up to become happy once again... but here is the catch, no one can see these girls from the dimensional world, that is until they meet Sentou (the main male lead).

Plug and Aresta are the "Electric Charge Girls" that this anime is focused around. And that's it for the story (pretty simple). Plug and Aresta going around charging people up from depression.

A few things that I always wondered throughout this this: A) It was never explained how Sentou was able to see the other people from the dimensional world and B) Later in the anime, a girl is introduced that brings depression to everyone... this part is never explained... she just magically shows up (kinda lame with no explanation).

However, here is the fun part of the story... hardcore ecchi. There are tons and tons of nudity in this series which include: A) Full blown nipple shots which 95% of other anime series shy away from, B) When a girl got hit with whatever the object was, usually a bat, the girl would piss their pants (panties to be exact) and the camera would zoom into that, C) Ass shots, D) Vagina shots, E) and more!

Normally if I had watched this plot for a normal series, I would say that story was crap, but... BUT... that's not what the focus was in this anime. The point in this series was to have fun showing ecchi and I guess have a mediocre plot, but considering there is ecchi and comedy, this series is meant for those to enjoy the ecchi, cause lets face it... if it wasn't for the sheer amount of ecchi, this show probably might not have aired.

In the end, I enjoyed the plot... but perhaps I was too busy watching the ecchi and borderline hentai.

Characters
Nothing exciting here. This anime is mainly focused around 3 people... Sentou, Plug, and Aresta. I guess you could say there is character development, because the characters are very different from when they first meet to when the series ends. Also, as mentioned... if you are looking for something meaningful, then you've come to the wrong anime series and you might as well not watch this series (if you haven't already).

Value
This is only for ecchi lovers!! You know how in other anime series, there is always boob shots and when the camera goes down to focus on the boob, we get blocked by a hand, white fog, or just something.... well rest easy in this one, cause its no hold bars with Fight Ippatsu. This is basically soft hentai.

Enjoyment
This is how I enjoyed this anime series, and truthfully... I did enjoy it. Its been some time since I had seen an ecchi show like this. I would like to add that I am NOT a hardcore ecchi lover, but I like to watch ecchi shows from time to time, so when I saw this, it was entertaining.

Conclusion
If you are an ecchi lover and want to see ecchi, nudity, and borderline hentai... then this is for you. If you are looking for a random series, then try this out when you have time. Just remember, come with a carefree mind before you pick this up, otherwise you might not like it. Based on how I like this, I would recommend this because its not everyday that we get to see nudity like this for normal TV episodes (NOT DVDs). But hey, if you end up picking this up and hate it, I can understand why. I am just one of those people that thought it was worth my time watching.

Fight Ippatsu is one of those anime which will you watch and never watch it again, it has an unique plot, the little bit of it that there's, but if you have nothing else to watch this maybe be enjoyable, and hey, if you don't care for the little bit of plot there's, there's always half-naked big breasted girls in plugsuits :).

Our main story doesn't consist of anything special, but there's some unique things that I haven't seen elsewhere, like the idea that people are hiding from the themselves. is quite interesting, as we all should know, and the thing that they charge these people up is an interesting thing in it self, but basically it sometimes becomes quite ridiculous, when people just "shut down" so quickly.

To don't spoil much we have one harem-type character who can see these otherwise-invisible girls who help people by charging them, it's nothing special, but it gets the entertainment value up a bit. There's not much of a plot elsewhere, but the emotional side gets the job done.

In the last episode there are marks for a sequel, I think if it would happen I wouldn't be too angry and would watch it... Also I think that in the last episode they really went too much with the "waters", anyone who has seen it will know...

Overall, I enjoyed it, and I recommend it if you haven't got anything real to watch, to do give this anime a try.
