I liked Shimoneta, but saddened by the fact it was Miyu Matsuki's final show before her way too premature death so even if they'd made a second series they'd have had to recast Anna and it wouldn't be the same.

What gets my goat is that Shimoneta isn't really about humor at all, it's about sexual perversion. in a way that I disagree with.

Everything that was uncensored in that BD volume will be uncensored on FUNimation's release.
The dub is nowhere near as dirty as it could have been; there's a lot of PG-13 jokes where the joke is simply "dick". There were six F-words and two uses of that C-word in the entire dub (I was impressed they even went there). Solidly entertaining series, would recommend.

that because they rarely used go down the massive foul mouth tirade to series that are TV MA. unless it sounds natural to the VA , there are times it might sound a little too forced and sounds like their too uncomfortable with those lines. one primary example was how the dub version of deadman wonderland sounded. while some characters sounded natural with their potty mouths, especially seiji, others not so much. they could have easily have done it their adult swim version of crayon shin chan , but didn't. so while they could have made it more dirty than a HBO sitcom, they made the right choice on toning it down a notch. not every TV-MA have to have none stop F bombs ala black lagoon.

I've been trying to phrase my complaints and feelings about this show and why I keep getting stuck watching the series when one of the characters turns psycho sexual predator and this puts my feelings to words more succinctly than I ever could.
Yamada's First Time is a sex comedy, Shimoneta isn't. If anything, it should be a horror story rather than a comedy. At least that way I could find some entertainment in it.

I haven't seen Shimoneta, but from what I've heard it seems like it might be at least somewhat enjoyable to me. I'm also interested in the social commentary aspect of it. So, I was wondering if you could elaborate on how the show is about sexual perversion, and what it is about how the show deals with it that you disagree with?

You should just watch it for yourself and find out. Just know going in that its going to be strange whether thats good or bad is up to you. For me it was a good thing I enjoyed the show and for trilaan it was a bad thing. Although I will say if you enjoy good revolution shows such as code geass and the heroic legend of arslan then you most definitely will enjoy the SOX revolution.
