'''Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist''' (下ネタという概念が存在しない退屈な世界, ''Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai''), is a Japanese [[Light Novel]] series written by Hirotaka Akagi and illustrated by Eito Shimotsuki. Shogakukan has published nine volumes since July 2012 under their Gagaga Bunko imprint. ''Shimoneta'' is also a Japanese word for "vulgar slang" or "dirty joke", "blue joke", "erotic topic."

 

* [[Idiot Ball]]: Many of the characters in-verse in relation to anything to do with sex or "immoral" acts. Justified in that the authorities have been perhaps ''too'' effective, to the point that the youth don't really know any better. [[Fridge Horror|Which ironically bodes ill for the future of Japan's population]].

* [[Ignorance Is Bliss]]: Deconstructed, with the anime showing just how messed up such a situation would actually be.

* [[Moral Guardians]]: Have become ''so'' influential that anything remotely "immoral" is persecuted.

* [[Next Sunday A.D.]]: The story takes place 16 years after [[Political Correctness Gone Mad|Political Correctness went mad]].

* [[Poor Man's Porn]]: Porn is considered contraband and hard porn is particularly difficult to acquire. As a result, the perverted terrorist Blue Snow shows a video of flies "body-melding" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt-mNRU97kg and dubs it].

* [[Reality Ensues]]: The series does show the darker sides of what [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]] would look like when enforced for a prolonged period of time, which can make for some [[Mood Whiplash]] moments. {{Spoiler|Particularly in one scene where Anna almost rapes Tanukichi, not knowing how to handle her repressed sexual urges.}}

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Anna increasingly finds it difficult to channel and repress her own sexual urges, which manifests in her becoming more unhinged as the plot progresses.

* [[Spiritual Licensee]]: ''Shimoneta'' is pretty much a more risque version of ''[[Demolition Man]]'' especially with its satire on political correctness.

* [[Vapor Wear]]: Blue Snow's "costume" whenever she's in action basically consists of a white sheet, panties for a mask and ''nothing else.''
