Kuso Miso Technique – Anime Review

Michishita is a prep school student at Yamakawa Art School. During an art lesson, his teacher suffers an embarrassing accident. He spends the rest of his time occupying the school washroom. The class was dismissed due to this incident, and students could go home early. However, Michishita feels inconvenienced because he needs to pee, but his teacher won't let anyone enter. So, Michishita heads toward a nearby restroom in the park.

Upon arriving at the park, Michishita meets a handsome stranger. Abe is a car mechanic sitting on the park bench. As the two men make eye contact, Michishita blushes because he finds Abe incredibly attractive. Abe picks up the signals and starts unzipping his jumpsuit, eventually revealing his cock. "Shall we do it?" Abe asks confidently. "Let's do it." Michishita agrees. They head inside a washroom stall and proceed to have wild sex. After becoming closely acquainted, the couple spends time together and goes on an unexpected adventure.

Kuso Miso Technique is like the equivalent of a fart joke. It might be considered funny by people with a peculiar sense of humour. For many others, including myself, watching this anime will cause shock, confusion, or embarrassment. The lowbrow comedy isn't entertaining. Instead of laughing, I cringe at the crude writing and vulgar scenarios. I want to be polite and pretend it has a quirky charm, but there is none. Kuso Miso Technique isn't even camp enough to be hilariously bad. I just find everything awkward.

The story divides itself into three parts. The first arc introduces two strangers who meet during an anonymous hookup. They fuck inside a washroom stall, but the protagonist suddenly has to pee in the middle of sex. As the situation escalates, the wacky reactions and naughty toilet humour are supposed to be funny. Did I laugh? No, not for a second. But I guess, in some corners of the internet, fans treat this moment as a beloved meme. He urinates inside another guy, hahaha! I don't get it. Maybe I'm missing the cultural context to appreciate such scintillating wit.

The second arc takes an unexpectedly dark turn. A serial killer suddenly arrives and begins his reign of terror. The bizarre events unfold like a senseless slasher story, which includes gory scenes with rape, blood, corpses, and the maniac killer uttering the line, "Blame my giant penis!" The circumstances are so ridiculously exaggerated that you may react with fear, distress, or uncomfortable laughter due to the morbid humour. Personally, I was disturbed as hell. How did the bonkers plot get to this point!? This anime is so fucking weird!

Kuso Miso Technique shouldn't be classified as BL. The romance between Michishita and Abe is almost nonexistent. The story wants to pretend these two horny strangers found true love after cruising in a public restroom, but it's a stretch. While they have a raunchy encounter with suggestive undertones, nothing explicit is shown on screen. The anime either censors the nudity or cuts away to safe imagery. Only the dialogue is obscene since Abe talks like a caricature of a porn star. Otherwise, the gay content is more like a comedic gag than anything meaningful.

The Kuso Miso Technique anime comes from an interesting background. It started as a crowdfunding project and earned enough support from fans of the original work. It's cool to see the creators revive a short erotic manga from decades ago and turn it into a thirty-minute animated story. Despite the dumb antics in the plot, this project shows a wild imagination with its ideas. If nothing else, I respect the creativity. Sadly, the adaptation suffers from subpar visuals. From the dated art style to the awkward 3D animation, the scenes look rough and unpolished.

Kuso Miso Technique has a bizarre ending that aligns with the random shenanigans from the rest of the plot. The final scene leaves me stunned, unsure of what I've just completed. Initially, I thought about not reviewing this anime. The absurd story isn't meant to be taken seriously, so overanalyzing it feels like a fool's errand. However, I had already lost half an hour of my life on this nonsense, so I may as well waste more time writing about it. Overall, Kuso Miso Technique is pointless gibberish. From the unfunny jokes to the incoherent writing, everything about it baffles me.
