Ishuzoku Reviewers was never the most popular anime. It did cause a lot of buzz in the west because of how how over the top it was, but at least in Japan I wouldn't say it was especially popular at all to be honest. And regardless, the implication that something like that is a product of Japan being an "outwardly conservative society" is laughable.
Don't misunderstand, I'm saying Japan is very conservative, except when the lights are off. You can't be a degenerate in public there, and people are very socially closed off and traditional compared to the west.
