Great overall take on these fetish anime series, and like you I dislike the fact the men are eyeless; It's as distracting as those chests, in an eye-rolling way Rolling Eyes

I find it amusing that there is a man with a face in Tawawa S1: faceless guy who is acquainted with Ai's boss. And he is the POV character in a few episodes too.

It's almost like the old true crime comic books of the Fifties. The suspect is always some anonymous entity.

Was picture Steve18.jpg censored out or merely missing in action?

Yes, one of the pictures is missing. Also, good job directing us to Skateboard Maids artist's twitter, it's awesome! I wonder though what kind of plot could be added to it - will the maids turn out to be couriers like in Johnny Mnemonic?

the main character does nothing but hoist her own petard.

Well, petards don't hoist themselves you know, so she has to. The important part is to not stand directly behind them when you set them off, lest you be hoist by your own petard.

Of course, if "petard" here is yet another euphemism for boobs, like bazookas or babombs (or bonkhonagahoogs), then that evokes an entirely different image! Very Happy

And now I am waiting for the AMV of _Tawawa_ set to The Holy Modal Rounders classic "Do You Like Boobs A Lot", one of Dr. Demento's classic "Grandma Songs" (the sort of song you *don't* want your humorless, Texas-Chruch-of-Christ-attending, won't-let-you-say-the-name-of-the-mayonnaise-maker-in-her-house-because-it-contains-the-word-"hell" grandmother hearing -- and which, when played, will cause her to come barging through your bedroom door like a _Five Nights At Freddy's_ animatronic).

I find it funny that after a whole cour of 24 minutes episodes of Nagatoro, where all males except senpai are eyeless, people have not been desanitized already of seeing faces with sewn eyelids. Maybe they will be after season two Evil or Very Mad
