Himegoto episodes are only four minutes in length

Turns out trap-ecchi anime Himegoto  isn’t even receiving a full anime, instead opting for a mini-anime version with 4 minute episodes. This method has been used a few times in recent years, most successfully by Hetalia Axis Powers.

Nudity is rare in this format but it is not unprecedented.  Koi-ken! Watashitachi Anime ni Nacchatta!  used the same format and featured uncensored nudity in a bath house episode.

As far as the first episode of Himegoto  goes, it’s a fairly unremarkable intro episode.  The production values are very low, about the same level as the Nozoki Ana  and Rescue Me!  tankobon-bundled OVAs.

I’ll probably check in on this anime from time to time, but unless something noteworthy happens, I probably won’t make another post on it.

Obviously, this isn’t the greatest of news as the Summer season was already really low on ecchi series.  Momo Kyun Sword  and Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance  are the only two certifiable ecchi series left, and neither one is especially likely to be more than tease-ecchi (if judging by the source materials, anyway).  Maybe KanColle  becomes a pleasant surprise, maybe.

There are several non-ecchi shows this season with potential for “surprise” nudity, I guess we’ll just have to keep our eyes peeled.
