When we are not expecting it, Heavy Object adds a little more fanservice. Panties. Bras. Hooray. Oh, and another shower scene.
Anime
The two male protagonists are now squarely caught in a catch-22. In the military, the reward for good work is more work. Very dangerous work. Like Batman and Robin, will they live to fight another day? Will there be enough love and sex to make it worth risking their lives???
Episode 05
Better than expected episode to follow up the nude massage episode. Panty and bra fanservice for the first time plus a shower scene for the second time.
First things first. Froleytia’s shower scene. Of course. Do wish it showed more. No chance of nipples here. Unless they add more footage on the BD.
Where’s Milinda in all of this? Glad you asked. She’s just being cute as can be and piloting a super mecha…
Eye Catches
Sexy and cute just works.
Official Art
Just in time for new anime posters! Bikinis by day. Kimonos and dresses by night. What’s not to like?
Fan Art
Welp! Didn’t take long for one of the new anime posters to be edited. Nice!
Overall
Overall Heavy Object is getting better slowly but surely. Each episode after the way too talky episode 02 has been slowly improving in some way. The increased fanservice, male gaze and sexual innuendo is just what this show needed. In this episode, the comedy seems to have gotten better too. That can only help.
With the unexpected fanservice in the last two episodes, in the eyecatches and in the last batch of promo posters, I’m more encouraged about future fanservice than before. However, it does seem that Heavy Object is going to try to pull a Gate on us and go mainstream so it seems less likely to me that there will be nudity on the BDs. But there’s hope. And opportunities. With almost twenty episodes to go and with the fanservice trending upwards, here’s hoping for more fanservice in future episodes and on the BDs and maybe even nudity when they need something extra spicy!
Notes
“Episodes 05 – 05″ was intentional. The plan is to review a batch of episodes as significant fanservice occurs. It just so happens there was a shower scene in the very next episode after a naked massage scene.

A tip of the cap to YouNoThatman for finding a new anime poster featuring Milinda in a bikini (and other shows too) in his comment.
