Maids, witches and bikinis? An interesting but pleasant surprise…
A Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid Season 2 bikini scene happened. Enough of a special event to merit a special edition review. A nice surprise after having watched Season 1.
I don’t know enough about the franchise to know if a swimsuit episode was to be expected or not. But after watching S1, it seemed like both the humor and fanservice were both low-key but nice in its own way with the charming, budding romance amidst a tragic backstory being the main thing. So I was pleasantly surprised with busty girls in bikinis to start S2. I don’t know if fans should expect more episodes like this but I tend to doubt it. Have said that, fanservice has always been part of the anime but mostly from occasional low grade and affectionate teasing from Alice…
First, the elephant in the room – Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid is a 3DCG anime. 2DCG is usually superior but not always. 3DCG is getting better with time but that’s often subject to budget and all too often, new anime shows nowadays are low budget affairs. And the 3DCG in Bocchan is sometimes not bad and sometimes not good so it’s a mixed bag especially if you are not a fan of 3DCG in the first place. But in spite of that, Bocchan has it charms and has gotten some good reviews, in particular for Season 1. And the 3DCG in S2 seems to be better than in S1. And the fanservice has gotten even better as evidenced by the first episode featuring girls in bikinis…
In the interest of time and since there may not be any additional Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid Season 2 fanservice reviews, I’m going to let the media speak for itself. If you want to know more about the anime then check out AniDB’s database entry or Random Curiosity’s preview. Do check out the resources links (AniDB) and information links (Random Curiosity) for more information.
Overall, for 3DCG, the girls’ bikini swimsuits were on the nice side with Alice’s looking better than Cuff’s. Partly because the 3DCG character design seems better and partly because being really busty helps. Not that Cuff’s character design isn’t busty too…
For the most part, the visuals looked acceptable. For 3DCG. Including the girls which is the most important part. And the charm and low-key humor was often spot on which you can see from the subs in the media above. It’s all about “fantasies” after all…
With gfycat shutting down at the end of August 2023 we’re having to host videos on the fapservice server until an alternative hosting service that will accept NSFW videos without significantly degrading video quality is found. In order to reduce loading on the server, not all the media that I made for Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid Season 2 episode 13 is included in this post. But you can find all the snapshots, stitches, and WebMs on the FapService writers’ Discord (FSD).
