Needless, for those who haven't checked it out yet, is a show where people got magical superpowers from Jesus and the main character can copy their superpowers because he's a clone of Jesus and it's all about being as over the top and badass as possible, while not taking itself even remotely seriously and managing to be extremely funny.

But for some dips in the animation quality it's a pretty great show.

Until episode four that is. Episode four turns the badass Mega Man dude into a pedophile and then proceeds to introduce several loli characters. Latest episode has thousand year old loli character joining the group, with plenty of emphasis given to her cleavage-tarded shirt and panties that, while not as bad as in X-Blades, are almost riding up her ass. SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK KNOCK THAT SHIT OFF.

Even during the episodes with this stuff going on, it's still a pretty great show if you can tolerate all the loli bullshit. Who else is/was watching it?

EDIT: Okay the 'detecting their three sizes' bit followed by the handshake-nod thing was just great. Totally worth the buttcrack in the foreground half the time.

EDITEDIT: Oh sweet they changed her outfit to something much less skimpy!

You do realize this is anime we're talking about, right?

When they don't do that it is an exception.

Yes, but it usually reserves itself to shitty shows, and doesn't muck up totally awesome ones. I could make a big long awesome list of great shows that don't have loli fanservice, and it would be substantially longer than those that do.

I was actually able to get behind a lot of the later fanservice this episode as it wasn't just Mio and was more about being funny than "LOOK UP THIS FIVE YEAR OLD GIRL'S SKIRT I MEAN SERIOUSLY LOOK."

Not-About-Fanservice: I loved that the mute girl had named her fan, and that Mio's bear was named Rabbit-chan.

Stupid is its greatest strength. Being creepy is the problem.

i just watched a episode, and actually... i think we will be hearing more about it in the coming months. I like it! It's a nice time waster...

But... why the hell is Dr Willy in there?

Because Needless is Capcom fanfiction. Blade is Mega Man, and he teams up with Dr. Wily to defeat Dante, who is now equipped with a frikkin' massive collar.

I see!

BTW i approve of the massive neckness that almost all characters seem to have.

What the fuck else did you expect from the borderline NSFW ending?

Seriously I want a believable answer.

EDIT: The two Adams are gonna fight! Fuck yeah! Also, the spider/tentacle/people-eating thing was just the right level of fucked up, creepy, and badass. Competition thing earlier was kinda funny too.

I expected it was a joke. Basically, it was a defiance of expectations based around how manly and badass the OP was. The show tries to be funny, and succeeds frequently, and the ED being the polar opposite of the OP was a kind of funny I could roll with. I honestly didn't give it much thought.
