It's actually pretty funny. The comedic value is similar to the comedic value in MM! Turn your mind off and embrace the ridiculousness. It's also a stealth parody of the incest subgenre.
Aw... I like it better when things aren't stealth parodies of things I like.
Still, I'll probably end up watching it at some point when I'm looking for anime to watch...
Not one of those is actually a proper magical girl show...
So at least in that case I guess that is the case for me.
Most other genres though, I seem to mostly watch/like actual works in the genre.
Though admittedly, there are some sexual tastes/practices I find bizarre/unsavory/objectionable (e.g. real rape, anything involving real children or animals).
That's normal though. I think it'd be hard to find a person who thinks rape, child molestation, and bestiality are all okay...

Also, I only read six chapters of the manga. Before this thread, I didn't even know that there is also an anime.
That's understandable.
Actually, I don't even know what to make of stealth parodies. It just seems so senseless to me. Why make a parody when barely anybody notices that it's one? To laugh at all the "idiots" who don't get it? Sometimes it seems that Stealth Parody means nothing more than "over the top". As if anything that's played in a over-the-top way is a parody. Like with Gurren Lagann. And really, every moron who thinks that Strawberry Panic is a stealth parody gives it way too much credit. It's like the claim that Miyuki-chan In Wonderland, which consists only of fanservice and nothing else, is symbolic of repressed lesbian urges.
I don't really care about it, myself.
Let's please make this a discussion about High School of the Dead now.
So the pink haired girl was kind of empty and useless fanservice who came out of nowhere and had a blank personality dump rather than development, and the Nurse, well, empty characterizations all around, was there for the big boobs. The only ones I liked were Saeko Busujima, who was badass and had more going for her in the story than the rest of the girls, and Rei Miyamito, because love interest and spear-stuff. Kohta was funny because he was a fattie with a nailgun, and Takashi is the hotness. Major hotness. Like Sai Akuto hotness.
That reminds me that I have only read the first volume of HotD so far. Which is quite strange considering I have the second lying around here...
Normally they have to be beyond 36D for me to think they are big. Which is why the only one I ever noticed having annoyingly huge boobs was the Nurse chick and Pink Hair.
But yeah, Umineko had a lot of weird fetishy things. Bunny girls, curly hair, skirts with stockings, uncanny sizeable breasts everywhere. It was starting to get weird on me for awhile then Ronolove came by and I went Im okay with this.
