Ah, the classic tale of workplace tension, unspoken desires, and… condom testing? *XL Joushi Episode 1* dives headfirst into the absurd with a premise that’s equal parts ridiculous and oddly intriguing. Watase, our sleep-deprived, overworked heroine, finds herself drowning in a sea of XL condoms she’s supposed to test for her company. Enter Sudou, her cocky, XL-sized coworker who’s as insufferable as he is… well, XL. What follows is a hilariously awkward and explicit journey of “product testing” that’s less about science and more about Sudou proving he’s as big as his ego.
The positives? The animation is decent, and the voice acting sells the awkwardness of the situation. Sudou’s over-the-top confidence and Watase’s flustered reactions make for some genuinely funny moments. The pacing is quick, and the absurdity of the premise keeps things entertaining. On the flip side, the story is paper-thin, relying heavily on the shock value of the XL gimmick. The dialogue can feel repetitive, and the characters lack depth beyond their… uh, physical attributes. Still, if you’re in the mood for something silly, over-the-top, and unapologetically explicit, *XL Joushi* delivers. Just don’t expect anything deeper than Sudou’s… well, you know.
