Grant Watson over at The Angriest has started reviewing Izetta: The Last Witch, and his rant regarding the fanservice in episode 4 The Secret of the Witch is glorious to behold:

I dropped Izetta around episode 3; I was already uncomfortable with the levels of fanservice, and the blatantly phallic imagery of Izetta riding that gun in a short dress and not much more. I had also, courtesy of anitwitter, heard about episode 4 and said “no, nope, not going there”.
