Prism Ark DVD TV EP 03 Fanservice Review

Medieval fantasy female teacher with modern fancy panties and an old-fashioned body under those clothes…

Anime

Prism Ark is a Fall 2007 anime TV series.  That makes it 12 years old.  And it was only released on DVD.

Plot summary from AniDB:

The Sablum Empire has been attempting to take over the Kingdom of Windland for many years, and are now plotting with the mercenaries Sister Hell and Darkness Knight to start a new offensive using powerful beings called Angels. Hyaweh, a carefree yet talented swordsman, and Priecia, who just might be the lost princess of Windland, are enrolled at the Knight’s Academy in Windland to hone their skills in swords and sorcery. There they meet many friends and allies who can help them protect their homeland from the impending invasion.

Thoughts

No nipples but some amusing scenes for fanservice including closeups of a teacher’s panties and and elf girl’s ears…


Prism Ark is an older anime and SD to boot.  It does deliver on fanservice but it’s also inconsistent.  Sometimes there are pantsu, nipple bumps and even nipples.  Sometimes there aren’t.  Even if the situation seems similar to ones that did deliver.  Having said that, there are a few episodes with nice payoffs for nudity and almost all episodes have some fanservice even if just gainaxing and/or panty shots.

The biggest problem with Prism Ark is structural more than anything else.  More of a hodgepodge than something coherent.  Too crammed.  Too rushed.  Prism Ark really should have been 24 episodes instead of 12.  It’s almost like their budget got cut in half at the last minute.  Such a shame.  Since when it’s good, it’s watchable but when it’s bad, it’s rather cringy.

So watch Prism Ark for the PLOT and not the plot.  Enjoy it for what it is and wait for the fanservice payoffs spread throughout the series.
