Mochizuki General Hospital boasts some of the most well-trained (and well-endowed) nurses in town. But though these ladies spend much of their day battling sickness, their after-hours are spent fighting a very different sort of disease...under the leadership of the hospital chairman, a handful of staff members and local teenagers form a group of mercenary assassins, targeting the “cancers” of society and excising those individuals before their wickedness spreads.
I have never read or followed the Triage X manga prior to watching the first episode of its anime adaptation. But the first time I heard about it and saw some cover arts, I thought it looked interesting and well-drawn. Sadly, that's where the extent of my enthusiasm for this new show, ends.
Triage X is yet another ecchi anime intended for older demographic with lots of fanservice. Particularly, it seems the fanservice and sexual overtone takes precedence over the story in this new series. I enjoy ecchi shows as much as the next guy, however, there is a boundary on how ridiculously big you can make the characters' assets without it looking gross. I'm all for big boobs but Triage X goes to the extreme instead of settling with an attractive proportion. Instead of complimenting the action and story, the humongous boobs became an annoying distraction. Like I said, I don't mind enormous bosoms but it has to be more than a senseless eye-candy.
Triage X: Episode 1 was just okay for me but who knows? Maybe the later episodes are actually fantastic! But as it stands, I'm not impressed. There are so many better ecchi series you can watch such as Kenichi, Ikki Tousen, Air Gear, or even Fairytail. All of which has a strong core story, better action, and the fan-service is done tastefully.
