Tattoos… some people have them, most people want them, and yet oh so many of them suck ass. But not the ones in Taboo Tattoo! The ones in this world give you shonen powers, teenage angst, and occasional death! Let’s dive into the sortov frustrating world of Taboo Tattoo.
A couple years ago I read through the entirety of the Taboo Tattoo manga on a whim. I came away very intrigued with the first couple volumes, until a certain time-skip happened and in my opinion everything went to shit…
The entire manga seemed to lose focus at that point and I very quickly became disinterested with it’s segway’s, one offs, and general “let’s not move forward in meaningful ways” plot fuckery.
Well, it’s 2016 now and it’s been adapted into an anime… adapted by J.C. Staff no less, famous for animating one of the sexiest oppai goddesses ever.
……………….. ah, the review. Right. Very well. Just let me look at those gifs one more time…
ALRIGHT! Ready to go.
Episode 1 starts off with our protagonist actually doing something…… hmm, Bravo!
Already this show is 2 steps ahead of most shonen.
Considering the relative design of our protagonist’s footwear, he shall hereby be referred to as Adidas.
The show also has a pretty decent OP…
J.C. Staff deserves a lot of credit for the effort that they put into the OP. Apparently they used ancient Shinto magic to resurrect John Bonham and reunite the mythical Led Zeppelin. Not long after Bonham’s resurrection the band was contracted to write a single song to be used in this show’s OP, now that’s fucking Grade A production.
Moving on past the OP we get a glimpse of a new challenger….
TITTIES!!! YEAH!!! We may have found our best girl!!! From now on you shall be named D-Flag!
Oops, I guess D-Flag could have been the best girl… if it wasn’t for THIS badass!
Yes, you’ve heard it here first folks. For once Luigi chooses the flat-chest over the love-muffins. I don’t know what it is about Miss Silver-hair, but even when I was reading the manga I absolutely loved her character.
Yep. Best girl.
No, sorry, fuck off generic female best friend, I’ve already found my waifu…
Meanwhile back at the plot… in the Taboo-verse, Iran somehow becomes a superpower…
Excuse me whilst I laugh.
Moving on…
Yes, ok D-Flag. I’ll admit your sweater kittens are indeed purring, now leave me alone.
Dass…… Dat ass……. man I love Silver.
AND she’s kicking Adidas’ ass!
Oh….. oh stop, I-I can’t handle all this stimuli right now!!!
OH GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
……….mphff………….. alright, back in business.
Apparently Adidas’ grandfather is also Poseidon: King of the Seas.
Oh…… oh no……………………. it’s happening again! Please…. I just finished!!!!!
Oh…. OH GOD!!!!
NNNYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
………………..ugh……… fuck……….uhhh-uhhhhh…………….
Following my gasm, our favorite Silver-haired she-bitch tails Adidas after school. After being found out the two are ambushed, and Adidas once again shows us that he’s a great MC.
How does he do it? WITH AN ATOMIC ELBOW BROTHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Following the brawl we are treated to a rather bland ED sequence and the usual preview for the next episode…
I gotta say, for a website like Fapservice this show doesn’t really offer any perverted content. However, as an action show I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this first episode. In fact I am quickly remembering why I loved the manga so much before the whole time-skip ruined it for me.
Judging by the progress made in this episode I’d say the season finale could be the battle right before the time-skip, which is great. I’ll probably compile 3 episodes at a time from now on in order to have enough content for Fapservice.
Honestly though, I could give a fuck about the fanservice. For the first time in a good minute I am genuinely hyped about a new show…
Definitely check it out.
