Mountain Mama

It's no secret around these parts that I love me some Crunchyroll. I've seen more cool movies and TV shows there than I can count. The latest to suck up my time? Yama Onna Kabe Onna, or "Mountain Woman Wall Woman."

Japan is apparently experiencing a "boob boom," with fattier foods increasing the busts of the average woman. Big bust = mountain. Of course, not everyone is filling out up top, left with just a "wall." In the show, Kyoko Fukada (Kamikaze Girls) is the yama onna, and Misaki Itou is the kabe onna. Can't really go wrong with either, and therein lies the beauty of the show.

Misaki is the manager of the handbag section at a posh Ginza department store, Kyoko the new transfer who's a bit of a ditz but manages to sell lots of handbags thanks to her refreshing attitude and, erm, watermelons (as they're referrred to by the shamelessly ogling male store staff). Also on the staff is Eiko Koike, no slouch in the bustular region herself, and another girl whose name I forget but who was also on Attention Please.

The show's pretty funny, giving Misaki lots of opportunity to display her not-terrible comedic timing, but really it's all about those yama. I'm no boob man, but when the camera can't stop pulling close-ups on button-bursting busts, well, how can a man not enjoy himself?
