Hey, anime aficionados and ecchi enthusiasts! Buckle up, because Please Put Them On, Takamine-san has stormed onto the Spring 2025 scene, and as a seasoned anime expert, I’m here to unpack this wild, provocative ride from Liden Films. Adapted from Yuichi Hiiragi’s boundary-pushing manga in Monthly Gangan Joker, this series blends high school hijinks, supernatural twists, and unapologetic fanservice into a cocktail that’s equal parts absurd and addicting. Premiering April 2, 2025, on Crunchyroll, it’s already sparking buzz—and some raised eyebrows. Let’s dive into the chaos, craft, and controversy of this bold newcomer!

The Premise: Time Travel, Lingerie, and Blackmail

Picture this: Takane Takamine, the flawless student council president and school idol, rules her high school with perfect grades, athletic prowess, and a magnetic charm that leaves everyone in awe. But she’s got a jaw-dropping secret—her “Eternal Virgin Road” ability lets her rewind time to fix mistakes, with a catch: she has to strip off her underwear to activate it, and the garment vanishes. Enter Koushi Shirota, a friendless, average joe, who stumbles upon her mid-change in episode 1. Stunned, he witnesses her redo a 98 test score to a perfect 100. Takamine, cool as ice, confronts him, revealing her power and blackmailing him into being her “closet”—carrying spare lingerie and dressing her after each time skip. It’s a premise so bonkers it’s brilliant, blending ecchi comedy with a supernatural edge. As a veteran fan, I love how it leans into its absurdity—anime thrives on wild ideas, and this one’s a knockout punch!

The Craft: Liden Films Goes All In

Liden Films (Tokyo Revengers) brings Hiiragi’s manga to life with flair. Directed by Tomoe Makino, with scripts by Yū Satō and character designs by Maya Itō and Ryō Yamauchi, the visuals pop—Takamine’s curvy figure, long purple hair, and piercing red eyes shine in her crisp school uniform. The animation’s clean and playful, amplifying the cheeky tone. Episode 1’s opening topless scene (uncensored on Crunchyroll, rated 18+) sets the stakes—no chibi cutaways here, just bold, in-your-face fanservice. Wet uniforms, close-ups, and steamy moments like episode 6’s “newlywed couple play” bath scene had me floored—Liden ramps up the manga’s heat, and I’m geeking out over their gutsy commitment. Takeshi Nakatsuka’s score keeps it light, while Bonjour Suzuki and Masami Okui’s opening and Makoto Furukawa’s ending tune frame the vibe perfectly. It’s not Attack on Titan polish, but for ecchi, it’s a visual feast!

Characters: Power Plays and Hidden Depths

Takane Takamine (voiced by Yurika Kubo) is the star—a goddess on the outside, polite and poised, but a cunning, dominant force when alone with Shirota. Kubo’s delivery nails her shift from commanding to flirty, hinting at a childhood crush on Shirota (revealed in manga chapters 6 and 12). Her blackmail—threatening a false assault claim in episode 1—starts rough, but later episodes (like 5’s study session) show vulnerability, softening her edge. Koushi Shirota (Daisuke Kasuya) is the classic spineless lead—gullible, awkward, and roped into her game. Kasuya captures his panic and slow resolve, though I crave more backbone to match her fire. Ellie Evergreen (Miyu Tomita), the blonde childhood friend and model, spices things up in episode 8’s water balloon fight, sparking Takamine’s jealousy. Her lesbian twist with a girlfriend? A clever curveball! The cast’s dynamic—domination, tension, and buried feelings—keeps me hooked, even if Shirota’s passivity tests my patience.

The Good: Bold, Funny, and Addictive

As an anime expert, I’m all in for Please Put Them On, Takamine-san’s fearless vibe. The humor lands—Takamine’s teasing, like kicking Shirota or joking about his “perverted virgin” fantasies, is gold. The time-rewind gimmick’s fresh, tying fanservice to plot in a way that echoes Punch Line but goes harder. Episode 5’s peek into their past and Takamine holding back her power for Shirota’s sake? That’s the heart sneaking in! Crunchyroll’s uncensored 18+ stream is a game-changer—no cuts, just raw intent. Compared to tamer ecchi like To LOVE-Ru, this pushes boundaries, and I respect the swing. The manga (10 volumes by March 2025, via Yen Press) already has a cult following, and the anime’s amplifying that buzz—nominated for Next Manga Award in 2021, it’s got cred!

The Rough: Controversy and Cracks

Let’s talk real—this show’s not for everyone. The premise teeters on a tightrope: Takamine’s assault threat in episode 1 feels harsh, echoing messy tropes from The Rising of the Shield Hero. It’s played for laughs and undone by time travel, but I get the unease—high schoolers in risqué spots always spark debate. The power dynamic’s thorny—Takamine’s dominance and Shirota’s submission lean into sadism/masochism, but her narcissism can grate. Animation-wise, early reviews note odd facial angles and inconsistent proportions (Takamine’s bust shifts shot to shot!). The butterfly sequence for time rewinds? Filler, and I’m over it by episode 3. Pacing drags when the plot leans too hard on shock over substance—give me more of their history, less random skin, Liden!

Verdict: A Risky Ecchi Gem

Please Put Them On, Takamine-san Season 1, streaming Wednesdays on Crunchyroll, is a wild card—ludicrous, steamy, and unapologetic. Eight episodes in as of May 2025, it’s a rollercoaster—episode 6’s bath scene and episode 8’s Ellie chaos have fans buzzing (“too much of a reward!”). It’s not Steins;Gate for time travel or Nagatoro for teasing done flawless, but it carves its niche. I’m giving it an 8/10—bold execution, killer visuals, and a premise that hooks, even if the edge stumbles. If you love ecchi with a twist, dominant leads, and a chuckle, this is your jam. Not into master-servant vibes or heavy fanservice? Steer clear. Me? I’m theory-crafting Takamine’s endgame—does she love Shirota or just the control? Hit me with your takes, anime crew—this one’s a hot debate!
