Now why didn’t this get a Broadcast Dub?
FUNimation has put up their first clip for the summer 2015 anime simulcast series Bikini Warriors but with the runtime of the show it’s pretty much the entire first episode when you get down to it. As it focuses on the traditional problem of terrible armor design for female warriors in fantasy shows it certainly hits up a lot of fun – and fanservice.
The short form show is one that plays to the fanservice side in a big way and gets the TV-MA rating thrown at it, which for some makes it a must-see show. Hulu will be adding new subtitled episodes on a seven-day delay of their original Japanese air date and those that subscribe to Hulu can watch this show on their TV and mobile devices.
The series stars Yōko Hikasa as Fighter, Kana Ueda as Paladin, Ai Kakuma as Mage and Chiaki Takahashi as Dark Elf.
Plot concept: Who needs all that armor when your stats are this stacked? Inspired by old school RPGs, Bikini Warriors is a death(and gravity)-defying adventure filled with dungeon crawls, giant weapons, and bikinis that must have rolled a natural 20 just to stay on.
That was probably the weakest episode…but I actually liked it better this time. The most recent episode was on the fun side, talking about meeting heroes in taverns, and flashing back to when Dark Elf first joined up. I still think it’s more of a C+ show than B range show, but it’s gotten better and it’s been having fun riffing on fantasy shows and RPGs.
