First Impressions: Hen Zemi & Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai

Hen Zemi

Wait a second, this is fanservice, this is definitely fanservice, how am I enjoying fanservice? How indeed, well in actuality Hen Zemi isn’t your typical show for perverts, it’s a show about perverts. The difference is subtle, it could easily be overlooked. Rather then outrageous, in your face and for no apparent reason, perversions and fetishes are the very core subject matter of Hen Zemi, thus neither pointless nor out of place. Nor is there unprecedented focus on panties and boobs. Needless the content doesn’t need to be sexual to be pretty weird as our heroine demonstrates when she attempts to fit in with the bunch of perverts by making embarrassing claims. In all more thought seems to have gone into Hen Zemi, more so then your average fanservice anime, however at the same time there does seems to be a degree of restraint. At the end of its 12 minute run – yes 12 minutes, I’m left wondering, hey is that all?

Initial Rating: 6/10
