YMMV / Cho Aniki

• Audience-Alienating Premise: The game is a Shoot 'em Up with muscular guys in speedos and visual innuendo. It's bound to make anybody not into Macho Camp deeply uncomfortable. While the series has a cult following, it's mostly due to Bile Fascination (which is likely what the creators intended given how utterly bizarre the series is.)
• Awesome Music:
  • So much in the first two games alone. In fact, the soundtrack of the original game outsold the actual game itself.
  • Chō Aniki: Kyūkyoku Muteki Ginga Saikyō Otoko has pretty good music as well.
  • If you're ever wondering why the music is good, the composer is no other than Taku Iwasaki, who ended up composing the soundtrack for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Katanagatari, and various others.
• Cult Classic: They're actually surprisingly well-made Shoot 'Em Up games, and in spite of their weirdness (or perhaps, in part due to their weirdness), the games have caught on with a small but dedicated fanbase.
• So Bad, It's Good: The games were usually not well received by critics, but they have a following hence its motifs.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: The final boss theme of Ai Cho Aniki sounds highly similar to Anasthasia, a song by Belgian musician T99
