DIVE!! #01 — Plunging Crotch Shots

July 6th, 2017

 

This one goes out to all the ladies. 

Impressions:

There's something disturbing about all the camera shots that go down well past the hips where the swimsuit should be, but not quite to where the penis is. Granted, no more or less so than the far more common upskirt shots where you can see practically all the way from thigh to navel, yet somehow, nothing else, but I guess that just makes this easier to place on the scale between fanservicey nonsense and sporty nonsense. Certainly, all of the diving bits being more about abs and just-out-of-frame crotches makes it easier to say that this show is as much about diving as Quantum Leap was about jumprope with Einstein. It's not even really pretending otherwise either.

I would say that's a good thing, since a drama should focus on the characters, but oopsies, we run into the same problems as ever there because we have our typical blob of a protagonist; kind of insecure, extremely apathetic, completely unambitious. Oh, he'll get a little excited about diving for some reason, but he's just an emotional tourist, in it just for the love of doing it. His arc is flat. He already has no real conscious desire that he's striving for where he comes to learn of his actual unconscious desire, nor challenge to overcome, nor newfound anything to explore. Not even anything as boring and pedantic as pedaling a bike. He's just there. Being about as compelling as a log, letting every other person who wanders into the camera steal the scene away from him to ramble about big boobs and butts. No really. That's a scene for some reason. So I guess we're just here for the not-quite-crotch shots them.

    Not only are they tiny, their bellies weirdly long but they are also all skin and bones, seriously, having abs means jackshit when you’re a freaking twig.
