I like to categorise softporn anime into three types: Type-A is the unapologetic and shameless, where you might have a pervert flipping up a woman's skirt, the startled woman screams, while the man grinning lecherously. Type-B is the apologetic and shameful, where an excuse like bad weather leads to a skirt being blown up, the woman asks if he saw anything, and the shy man apologises while secretly relishing the memory of her panties, because that's normal for virgins. Type-C is the playing ignorant, where the woman strips her skirt, also her other clothes to change, then gives her breasts' muscles a little massage, allin front of a man with both of them being nonchalant and not drawing attention to the act, not because they're emotionless kuuderes, but because the act isn't considered shameful or the concept of shame itself doesn't exist in-universe. Then the woman is saved from a train molester by the man, A is a scumbag who saved her for himself, or hilariously a sleaze unaware of his hypocrisy. B is a relatable hero for all virgin teenagers. And C, the man chases the molester to retrieve stolen goods because, in this context, it turns out the molester was actually a thief merely probing the woman's body for valuable goods, as the concept of molestation also doesn't exist. 'Waza no Tabibito' falls into Type-C. Presenting a rather lacklustre yet a serious story while constantly keeping the camera focused on the abnormally jiggling breasts and jelly buttocks of women in skimpy skin-tight outfits highlighting their erect nipples. Unlike the characters who don’t seem to notice or pay attention to this, it can be extremely distracting for viewers. This sexualisation could be entirely removed without any slight impact on the plot. Considering it's highly engaged with its own plot and takes itself seriously is it worth watching for the plot? Absolutely not. Apart from the sexual elements and a few action scenes, there’s nothing original or interesting. The futuristic sci-fi setting about lost technologies acts as convenient magic. It subtly implies how the world is post-apocalyptic because of war and weapons of mass destruction, with a message about harmony with nature. However, it doesn’t explain much about the worldbuilding or the bikini-armoured heroine’s objective, leaving viewers to fill in the gaps. The characters are just plain lost do-gooders traveling aimlessly and helping those in need. Except for a few scenic frames, the animation is fully 3DCGI, reminiscent of old-school 3D video games. Apart from the sexy women, the designs are plain and lifeless that it's hard to tell male soldiers and robots. The heroine, Techni, at least occasionally shows funny expressions during quick action scenes, which is definitely the only reason I kept pausing. The voice acting for the females was poor; I often couldn’t distinguish between Techni, her owl, and the young damsel in distress who of all names was named Ruri all had similar unnatural, forced, high-pitched tones. Overall, it’s an admirable effort for an indie work created solely by Matsuena Shun, known for 'Kenichi', a Type-A horny martial arts manga. In Waza no Tabibito you see similar personality and peculiarities, like the care in choreographing sword fights and the attention to detail in animating the heroine’s erect nipples and buttcheeks on the transparent chair she sat on. However, the stock plot is ultimately an excuse for the sex, so it’s safe to say it’s not the main draw. I don’t recommend it unless you find the visuals attractive, or curious to see how far CGI can go with titillation.
