THIS IS MY FIRST REVIEW ON THIS SITE AND CONTAINS SOME SPOILER CONTENTS
I can't believe I made an account on this site, just to post a review about this show.
I never figured out that a fine good studio will go over the line to make this kind of show, just to restore the old good reputation for the fans, after the massive controversy of TPN S2, WEP, and even the rushed adaptation of Horimiya. This course of action caused the community to reach the concept of corruption. And yep, some people gained back their trust in Cloverworks because of the sparkling, stylish, and perfect jiggle tits of its cover, while the book is an absolute and dark abomination. I’m not saying I fully hate Cloverworks. Some animes were good like Saekano, Her Blue Sky, Bunny Girl Senpai, Voy@ger, etc. But this is one of their works that couldn’t measure my disappointment.
Do you know the controversial hentai manga Metamorphosis, known as Emergence? If you haven’t read it, check it out. It will break your mind. If that hentai manga is an epitome of edginess, this anime is the light version of it. If all the males got caught in Madara’s genjutsu or infinite tsukoyomi, this dream will be likely to get in with. Sono Bisque wa Koi wo Suru is audacious, simply pandering to wish-fulfillment fantasy. Neglect the synopsis about the intriguing life of a cosplayer and doll-maker individually, this is an unpleasant high school slice of life with some of the lowest ecchi arrangements I have ever seen. If many people are tired of many problems in real life, this might be the life they want to live in. This I think everyone accepts. Marin is seldom of a character and more of a wet dream for young male people who had a socially awkward personality to satiate in. Introducing an unattainable reality where, subsequently, a charming girl will completely fall into their lives, undoubtedly appreciate their remarkable alcove pseudo-skills, be engrossed in all the peculiar, sexually degenerate stuff they find pleasing, be the one offering the male enlist in carnal movements with them; and be sympathetic in influencing them out of their shell with chronic company and kindness.
She’s like the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope executed from right down the bottom. And some spectators with very extreme significant reasoning skills would acquire into the bullshit that suggests this mock pass to protest about how it drives any pretense of realism out the window, leaning over undeveloped to cause this outrageous wish-fulfillment fantasy that, in their minds, could never happen in real life. It’s not impractical but it’s so UNBELIEVABLE.
But I don’t believe that kind of girl ever exists in the reality. It’s not her foolish nature that exists outside the bounds of reality. It’s that her many qualities mixed but the authentic traits didn’t make sense at all. Through an array of stupid moments I don’t care enough to scrutinize, Marin and Gojo, the protagonist, meet and begin working together on a cosplay thing.
This is kind of “reasonable” in the sense that can take effect in real life. A guy happily sewing in his grandfather’s shop can occur in real life, and the budding communication of the two can exist in real life. I’ve heard cosplayers dating men who cooperate to aid in their occupation, even guys who aren’t as seriously handsome as their girlfriends who are like they went on various plastic surgeries. The point is, it can take effect. But the hot cosplayer in real life isn’t the implausible part. The unbelievable part was her being a natural and naïve virgin who precisely doesn’t perceive how stripping down to lingerie in front of an outsider sperg who she just met would make him weary. She can either be a pushy, vigorous, fake-nail-wearing gyaru who whacked her cherry decades before her male counterparts or a prepubescent maiden with no conception of sexuality.
There was some points backstage at theaters and performance halls, and I can endorse that models backstage do not give a single shit about being disrobed or knowing people touching their bodies at all, because backstage fashion designer’s team are experts who aren’t showing at them in an intimate or erotic manner. They’re just working their duties. For this reason, I assume you could try and handwave the case I used—not that I couldn’t turn up with others—and state that Marin was just reaching that synergy in a futile, surgical, progressional way, and she didn’t show the case that exposing down to a lingerie and panties would act Gojo feel uncomfortable. That makes sense, right? Maybe if he didn’t respond, and just endured the discomfort, but that’s not what happened. He was blushing, screaming, completely snuggling into a ball, and anyway she’s so natural and ignorant as to not realize what the fuck was going on here? Now that I consider it, you could further decide and handwave Marin never being in contact as well. People she meets are either decent-looking normies who underestimate her obsession or displeasing otaku who couldn’t get a shower much if their behaviors revolved around it. Obvious, right? No, because this once again misses the reason of what’s painful to trust, as we shouldn’t much be easy to achieve this scheme in the early place. There’s barely any means people would still be crouching over her and advising her like the school’s monarch if she was genuinely that sincere about her enthusiasm with anime.
So the shitty part is concluded, how was the program itself? It’s not that wonderful actually. You get a lot of absolutely analyzed, well-animated arrangements of fanservice, but outside these cash shots, the show is common Cloverworks. The quality differs from kinda fair to absolutely abominable, and by episode 8, the animation is a PowerPoint presentation. Barely any definite animation; every shot holds a place in some aimless screensaver background, no shot constancy for numerous scenes, flat automated composite, stills, panning shots, satisfactory effects interpreted, precisely a moving manga. As for sound, the voice acting is surely dependable but nothing splendid. The OST is adequately nameless and not worth noticing in my opinion. Generally, nevertheless, the production is terribly weak. They’re thinking about the fanservice, but the rest is pretty low-effort.
The writing in this show also leaves a lot to be sought. The emphasis is moderately dependable as common aftermath of nothing fucking happening. I hesitate Marin could keep the figure she carries on a diet of fatty fried meal and pudding, but at this moment I’m looking at precariously close to echoing like a 250-pound, blue-haired, scholarly body readiness visionary, so I’ll just drop that one alone. The story had some beguiling moments but the characters are so flat. Marin is just some random popular girl, Gojo is a self-insert protagonist, and some of those basic problems of this show is that it lacked a concept of common sense and inconsistencies. Marin introduced to us that she’s a popular girl, right? Now, this is a fucked up one that came to my mind, “she being famous in school but “allegedly” solely contacted good looking guys with 0 IQ, “Let me hit on her by talking trash about otaku culture”, or she being a model who exists like a microwaveable food to make it “relatable” to the audience, the seeming absence of self-consciousness, etc. make it so hard to wholly enjoy Sono Bisque, indeed for someone like me who doesn’t care for superfluous fanservice.”
There’s a lot to express about this show but I actually cannot push myself to interpret more of this piece of shlock that I prefer no one the burden of observing through. For possible viewers, this is not your anime of the season, nor an anime you should watch unless you thoroughly love ecchi rom-coms. This show had some honest moments, but seeking those scenes is like spotting a needle in a haystack. If you want some absolute good and funny ecchi, go watch Interspecies Reviewers, and A Sister is all you need. At least those characters are truly adults.
