Ah, how the mighty have fallen. J.C. Staff, once producers of fine shows like Sugar, Azumanga Daioh, Railgun, Zero no Tsukaima, Ikki Tousen (cough), and Eiken (cough cough hack choke) has descended to this level. Ah, it is a sad day indeed.

Seriously, this is a really stupid conceit on which to base a show, and the only saving grace is that they're treating it as a farce. But my disbelief won't suspend this far, even for a farce.

It does have one interesting observation: in a really draconian police state the opportunities for blackmail are abundant. Blue Snow, the "Hentai Terrorist", uses that as a weapon.

"Stay back. I wear nothing beneath this towel! If you make me struggle I shall become buck-naked! Then anyone who holds me down will be blackballed for exposing a woman in public!"

And that's about as much fan service as the show has.

She also blackmails Our Hero into joining her cause by threatening to denounce him to the Morals Police.

I'm sorry, this is not for me.
