I haven't watched this in a long, long time so I took a look and there was a full BD rip available. torrent torrent torrent and now I'm watching it.

As harem comedies go, this is far from the worst out there. Most shows like this will drag out the introductions, with each haremette getting an intro episode. One nice thing about this show is that they didn't do that. Seven girls, and they introduced all of them in the first episode.

Anyway, Our Hero is Kotarou. It's implied that his mother is dead. His father has moved overseas for work, and Kotarou has been accepted as a student in the high school which inevitably is featured in (nearly) every romcom. He has found an apartment for the astoundingly low rent of just 5000 yen per month (about $45) and considers himself extremely fortunate.

But the reason that apartment is so cheap is that it has a reputation for being haunted. And it is in fact a top drawer weirdness magnet. Ep 4 was a beach episode, so forthwith the cheesecake!

The apartment is haunted. The ghost's name is Sanae:

The next haremette is Theia.

She's princess of some sort of stellar empire, and in order to prove her worthiness to succeed her mother, the currrent Empress, she has to get the occupant(s) of that room to swear fealty to her. She is extremely sensitive about her flat chest.

Ruth is her aide/servant. She also serves as a bit of a governor, to prevent Theia from blowing up the Earth with weapons on her spaceship, and in general to rein her in when Theia gets furious.

Kiriha is from an underground empire. Her people once had a shrine on that spot, and her job is to gain control so she can rebuild the shrine -- which will then provide plentiful mana for reconquest of the surface. Or something like that. And yes, her boobs are by far the largest in the show. And she knows it and is proud of the fact.

Today's guest star is known in Japan as ano puuru ("That pool") or rei no puuru ("The usual pool").

Here's a NSFW post which describes it as "The Most Infamous Swimming Pool in Japanese Pornography". It's been recreated several times in Minecraft, and it's out there as a mesh for standard 3D renderers.

(By the way, if anyone can tell me where those girl models came from, I'd be very grateful. I'm looking through the DAZ3D marketplace right now but it's just too big; I don't want to wade through 150 pages of thumbnails. Based on the NSFW web page where I found that image, the artist used Poser to set up the models, and then exported them into a program called Vue to create the background and render the image.)

(UPDATE: They are variations of a figure called "NearMe Custom".)

I remember seeing a mesh of The Pool offered on DLSite for maybe $5, but last night I tried to find it again and couldn't. Maybe it's been deleted?

Anyway, given this degree of fame, and its association with softcore (and hardcore) porn, it's hardly a surprise it's also heavily featured in fan art. Let's take a look.

My bright idea was to choose a series of themes corresponding to keywords on Gelbooru in order to select pictures for successive cheesecake posts. My first idea was "elf". The result was page after page of bondo, torture, and rape pictures. It's said that no matter what you're thinking of, someone has a fetish for it, but I didn't really think that the main fetish for elves was such dreadful violence. It's stuff like this that gives us all such a bad reputation.

The second idea was "multiple girls"; the third was "maid" and in each case I couldn't find anything I could reasonably post here.

So we finally got to my fourth choice, "sword". And here we go:

It's too painful seeing her in all that strange makeup; we got to get her back to normal!

Ah, much better. And NSFW below the fold...

1 The artist should be encouraged to hold a gun in those positions, to understand how much harm he'd inflict on his models when their poor trigger discipline resulted in an accidental discharge.

Actually, judging from their arms, it's already happened to a few of them...

2 I'm not sure a girl could be strong enough to hold some of those weapons in those positions, irrespective of trigger discipline. But it's good cheesecake...

3 I smirked at the M1934 but something about the MP-40's dumb expression made me laugh uproariously.

4 Oh god, J is so right. BTW MAC is the worst gun I've ever fired - you can't hit anything without holding it by the silencer.

2 It took a bit longer than I expected but we did finally get Neko-Mai.

3 At least it took my mind off the upcoming Trumpocalypse or Clintonnihilation.  Thank you for that, Mr. Den Beste!

(Note:  "Trumpocalypse" isn't tagged as a misspelling.  Zounds!)
