Show: Sexy Commando (Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san)
Overview (Description from Wikipedia): The story revolves around Wakame High School's extracurricular club, "Sexy Commando Club," which consists of 5-6 male members, a female manager, and a small mysterious pet. The strange and ancient art of Sexy Commando is a martial one; however, instead of focusing on how to defeat an opponent with punches, kicks, or grappling, it focuses on how to distract the opponent. The logic follows that any distracted opponent is unable to fight, and therefore the art of Sexy Commando trumps any other form of martial arts. There are as many techniques as there are ways to distract, though Wakame High School's Sexy Command Club tends to employ the unzipping of the trousers.
