Bikini Warriors

Look. The show is called Bikini Warriors. It's not like you didn't expect where the series is going. My main criticisms of the series are two-fold.
1) The episode length: 4 minutes isn't long enough. The show is funny, the girls are sexy, and the voice acting is done by some of Japan's top talent. You will want full length episodes. Sadly, you're stuck with shorts.
2) The series is only 12 episodes long. And... it ends on a total cliff-hanger. Would have liked to see where this goes, but sadly, doubt we ever will.
With those negatives taken into account, really thought this show did exactly what ... it set out to do with a title like Bikini Warriors. Plenty of Lewd and Funny antics to fill an hour of your time. Recommended if you're a fan of skimpy fantasy armor in video games, and jokes that riff on common video game tropes.

"Bikini Warriors", the 2015 anime, is a series consisting of 12 episodes, each being only 4 minutes long. Despite the brief runtime, each episode is well-structured to deliver a mix of story, humor, and the promised bikini shots without going too overboard. The humor in the show stems from exaggerated situations that parody typical genre tropes, including the very obvious nudity.

Visually, the show extremely benefits from its short episodes, featuring beautiful animation with vibrant colors. The character designs are deliberately over-the-top to emphasize the comedic tone. Even with a limited amount of time, the settings and enemies are well-designed and executed, enhancing the show's ... overall appeal.

"Bikini Warriors" is unabashed in its approach, clearly not aimed at all audiences. Those who are prude and uncomfortable with its themes will find it repetitive and unsettling. While the lack of a deep plot might be disappointing to some, it serves the show's purpose of satirizing the genre.

Overall, "Bikini Warriors" is a light-hearted and humorous take on fantasy shows. It is intended for a specific audience that understands the show's use of female characters is meant to make a statement rather than to sexually objectify.

TLDR; it's a parody comedy, get over yourself!

"Bikini Warriors" is the kind of ecchi anime that promises a lot with its concept but delivers very little in terms of actual content. At first glance, it seems like the perfect show for anyone looking to indulge in some unapologetic fan service with scantily clad women with big boobs, but once you start watching, the shallowness of the whole setup becomes painfully clear.

Originally created to sell figures (from what I gathered online), "Bikini Warriors" feels like nothing more than a slick marketing gimmick. The episodes are laughably short, clocking in at just five minutes each, and every single one of those minutes is dedicated ... to flaunting the "assets" of its nameless female characters. That's right—none of the characters even have names, which tells you all you need to know about the level of effort put into the storyline and character development. They are only referred to by their "class" if you would. For example, the first episode revolves around the four characters buying new armor from the blacksmith to survive a dungeon but the better armor is more revealing (which is a funny concept knowing female armor in most MMORPGs). But the episode goes by so quickly that it doesn't have any chance to be anything but boring.

Pure fan service is the name of the game here, but even that feels lackluster. The brief, self-contained stories offer no real plot or depth, just an endless parade of barely clothed women frantically moving around to make their boobs jiggle in various fantasy scenarios. Sure, the animation is decent enough, but it can't make up for the total lack of substance. Watching this show feels like flipping through a catalog rather than experiencing an actual anime.

For the die-hard ecchi fans out there, "Bikini Warriors" might seem like a quick fix, but it's ultimately unsatisfying. The episodes are too short to get invested in, the characters are one-dimensional, and the whole thing reeks of pure advertisement. If you're looking for something with even a hint of depth or story, you'd be better off looking elsewhere. "Bikini Warriors" is all flash and no substance, making it a disappointing watch for anyone expecting more than just a few minutes of eye candy.
