When it comes to concepts related to fanservice in anime there are some that are very hard to do well. One of them probably the biggest one of them is what I call Sexual Slapstick. Its someone walking into a room and seeing someone undressing or tripping and falling and copping a feel or seeing something they shouldnt. Theyre all based around acts that are gross which means it can be hard to make funny. Season one of We Never Learnhttps://anilist.co/anime/103900/WeNeverLearnBOKUBEN/ did it and What the Hell Are You Doing Here Teacher? also manages to actually pull it off. The anime is basically made up of a series of vignettes all based around a common premise a male student generally in their senior year of High School is in a situation with a female teacher. Both parties have crushes on the other but are afraid to act. Then an inciting starts the slapstick in motion: the teacher takes shelter in a laundromat after getting drenched in a rainstorm soaking their top and the student is doing their laundry there the teacher is asked by the students mother to help watch the students younger sibling leaving both of them in close proximity to each other and alone in the house and so on. Things escalate apace from there ending up with the teacher either nude or mostly nude and the student ending up doing something that ends up accidentally getting the teachers rocks off. However at no point in the process is the teacher angry nor do they reject the event necessarily. Any hesitance by the teacher is generally explicitly stated by the teacher through their internal monologue as being due to risk of discovery and if that risk was removed they would otherwise be okay with the situation. Where the show gets weird is the fact that this aired on television. Taken in isolation this seems like a really good premise for a hentai anime or an eromanga. In all seriousness all you would need to do in order to make that leap is to have each scenario escalate into the characters actually having sex. The show never actually goes that far. On top of all of that there is very very heavy use of censorship images in the anime starting from censor images over to use the Tumblr terminology Female presenting nipples to fullscreen images during buffalo shots to use the MST3K terminology to absurdly enough kissing but not handholding. I mean the show works both as a sexy romance as a slapstick comedy but I also feel like it would work better once the uncensored release came out if an uncensored release comes out or at least a release with censorship that takes up less screen realestate. Well have to see.
