Plot: "Grovel enough, and you'll get what you want."

This is the motto that Suwaru Doge firmly stands by, believing that kneeling and begging will grant him the majestic view of a woman's naked body. After realizing the power of groveling in the dogeza stance, Doge wastes no time in exploiting it for lewd requests. Targeting the cutest and hottest girls in the school, he is one step closer to his goal of beholding their nude bodies, no matter what harm it may cause to his social standing.

User Review: In modern times, where virtual reality is becoming increasingly popular, more and more anime studies are daring the "POV" step. Already in 2018, we saw a masterpiece with Opantsu (or let us say the name full in English: I Want You To Make a Disgusted Face and Show Me Your Underwear) that the world has never seen before. The long-awaited successor Opantsu 2 followed one year later (you can check out my review for this one as well). Their faces and underwear will surely be remembered by many of us, how can we forget such a divine sight. The current situation with the pandemic is terrible, but fortunately we are experiencing a real miracle from the anime studio "DMM pictures", previously only worked in dubious works such as "Domestic na Kanojo" or "Kanojo, Okarishimasu". But their latest work "Dogeza de Tanondemita" gives mankind faith and hope for a better year 2021.

Let’s take a look at the English name of the anime first: “I Tried Asking In Dogeza”. Many of you probably had the same questioning face as I did: What is "Dogeza" (土下座)? After weeks of research I was able to find out that there is also an English term for this: "Kowtow". This information was of course very interesting, but this word didn't mean anything to me either. Thanks to the help of this anime, I was able to find out the long-awaited meaning: Dogeza is an element of traditional Japanese etiquette where people gets down on their knees, places their hands on the ground, arches their back, and presses their forehead to the ground in the space between their hands (AMEN and very hard to learn). You do all the difficult moves just to show the highest respect to the other person and how serious your request is. You really hope they make your wish come true.

Why was all that information necessary? Because in this anime you are the MC (with the name Suwaru Doge) and do “Kowtow” with an urgent request every time. Fortunately, the plot doesn't require 200 IQ to understand it. In every episode (which only lasts 3 minutes, 30 seconds of it is the outro) you are faced with a different girl in another environment. Sometimes your teacher is in front of you, at other times you are in the library or even when refueling you only have THAT thing in mind. Some of them have bigger OPPAIs, for others the famous saying "Flat is Justice" by Confucius applies. It doesn’t matter, you are cultured enough to know all boobs are great. BUT STOP! Breasts alone are not enough of course and so you decide in four of the twelve moments that you prefer to see their underwear. Since it has already worked out at “Opantsu”, the goal will be accomplished here as well for sure. In the end, only the result counts and you passed that with bravur in every episode!

The art style is very beautiful in general, you can see and recognize all the important shapes. The exciting scenes are also highlighted by a special background effect. BUT I think we all agree in this point: We want to see uncensored OPPAIs and PANTSUs. So why is there a crappy, green mini version of us that obscures everything. That of course takes the fun out of it.

Nowadays you can hardly find a more motivating song than the ED "DOGEZA! Do get that!" which is played after each short episode. The music gives you strength and the belief you can manage everything no matter how difficult the path might be. The lyrics are super easy to learn and should be a mandatory song at school, college or work to keep you motivated. With a good "Dogeza" everything is possible!

A masterpiece is no use if it is not enjoyable. As an enthusiastic fan of the VR world, I already had fun watching "Opantsu" and "One Room". You don’t even need an expensive device here, so you can spend all the money for your next waifu figure. Anime shouldn't be compared directly with each other, but there is no way around "Opantsu" in this case. If you are cultured enough, do yourself a favor and watch that first if you haven't. There are no rational explanations why you should watch all of these. But as we all now, men are simple. You can see eight pair of boobs and four panties here, what else do you want more? The only thing that triggers you very hard is the censoring.

Finally, I really can only recommend this anime to every cultured person. But do yourself a favor and don't try the "Kowtow"-thing in real life, the probability of ending up at the police station is much higher than being successful.
We have to learn more about the "Dogeza" culture, so the only question left is:

Luckily an OVA is already announced for the isekai-world but when will we get the second season?
