30 Day Anime Challenge Day 18: What Is The Weirdest Anime You Enjoyed?

A few months ago I was trying to get ahold of a friend of mine for anime recommendations. He is ever so helpful, but unfortunately he wasn’t available. So I decided that I was going to search Funimation until I found something that I liked. Needless to say that is when I stumbled upon this strange anime. I do have to say that it was very funny, but I didn’t complete the season and I only watched a few episodes.

What was this strange anime?

Keijo!!!!!!

This anime really made me laugh. Not only was it totally catering to guys (who may be the primary target for this anime) but it was so completely ridiculous. Here is a short synopsis. Courteous of MyAnimeList.net.

Japan’s latest competitive sport, Keijo, is dictated by a simple set of rules: female-only participants must stand on circular platforms floating in a pool—referred to as “lands”—with the goal being to knocking off opponents using only their breasts and butts. Despite this outlandish premise, the sport attracts millions of viewers across the country and boasts a lavish prize pool. Many aspiring athletes take up the challenge in hopes of becoming the next national champion.

After graduating from high school, the lively 17-year-old Nozomi Kaminashi enters the world of Keijo, hoping to bring home a fortune to her poor family. As a gifted gymnast, Nozomi quickly proves herself a tough competitor after stealing the spotlight in her debut tournament. Meeting new friends and rivals as she climbs the ranks, Nozomi discovers that the path to stardom as a Keijo player is filled with intense competition that will challenge not only her body, but also her soul.

When I first stumbled upon this anime, My first reaction was What the F***?, then I watched the entire episode and the next 3. I don’t remember a lot of it. But I do remember finding it so funny and thinking that for anime girls they are not doing a bad job of kicking each others asses with their asses. I do find it to be an outlandish concept but at least no one is getting hurt in this sport.

Also if you have never tried to play the game where you hold a balloon between you and another persons body. Then have to move the balloon without popping it. You probably wont be able to relate if you haven’t. But I do have to say that to knock someone off a raft with only your boobs or your butt, would be a very hard thing to do. #totalrespect

These girls are funny and fit and bring the drama that comes into any show or sport in life or in anime. Therefore I would have to say that its really not that bad and I plan to at least finish the season.
