WARNING: may cause irrational development of head-tilting fascination and an inexplicable obsession towards anime body parts. Perhaps the most staggering sequence ever conceived, the NEEDLESS ending sequence encompasses almost all the major body part fetishes identifiable in modern-day anime, and does it with such rapid-fire succession and accuracy that it doubtless raises issues of whether this epic achievement was the work of an army of otaku voting on their top fetishes, or if it was the product of a single catastrophically brilliant mind so far past mainstream perversion that he has unquestionably become one with the fetish hive-mind. Unwavering, unabashed, confident and comprehensive - such is the spirit of the images portrayed in this ED, performed so enthusiastically and passionately by three deliciously unique youths in the prime of their attractiveness one has no choice but to just sit back and sigh in titillated euphoria.
Such a quality production both in concept and execution is in stark contrast with the actual episode, while doing an impressive job of pushing a distinct style reminiscent of legendary galactic-drill anime Gurren Lagann, is but for the most part an exercise in generic action and on the whole “I’m just here to watch the ED”.
In particular the attention to feet and kissing is worth mention as both are currently unappreciated traits but clearly on the rise in the hierarchy of desirable characteristics. The prevalence of ankles and feet in recent moe-standard show K-ON!, together with the emphasis on deep kissing in twincest instaboner anime Kiss x Sis are definitive examples of the rising trend, and this ED charmingly provides an extensive progress check from which we can recalibrate our attentions and refocus our energies on the necessary aspects of character design.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a bucket of drool
