Kirepapa

Fist off I would like to say, that the plot is nothing too special, actually a little sappy and somewhat worn off (the whole 'must protect son from everyone' is just very weird). In most yaois the characters are pretty much made to the same scheme: one character is extremely jealous, the other one is your typical, naive uke and another one a cool macho. Although Kirepapa contains these models, they're matched up completely different then what it seemes at first glance. But the backgroundstories make sense and they let the differen personalities of our 2 main character bloom, which makes them an interesting couple.
The backgrounds are very well designed and, the colours add up into a comprehensive picture. Compared to many other yaoi OVAs and series Kirepapa has got an highly appealing character design. Although the animation could have been a bit more fluent at times.
All in all it's a delightful OVA that every fangirl with a liking for boys love should be satisfied with. read more

It barely passed.

The story seems to be something quite overused in many yaoi anime (or even normal guygirl romace. Or even Yuri.): "OMG I'm in love with this person but I've never seen him but owh my gawd he was just under my nose all this time!!!" I mean it's like, "Give me a freaking break. Another one?" And then you'd just walk away and roll your eyes. And even the conflicts are way too commonplace- "oh my gosh i can't accept you because you're my son's bestfriend" and the whole "my-family-won't-accept-you-so-do-I-break-up-with-you-or-not" kind of thing. Absolutely nothing can catch your eye, and all ideas are overused. Even sex scenes aren't all that hot. Even the sex scenes in Haru wo Daiteita OVA are better.

Even the characters are not that great. We have the typical (and by typical I MEAN typical) uke who's beautiful and cute and wimpy and short-tempered but can't resist the seme, and a seme who's serious, TDH (tall, dark and handsome), and quiet. I mean, I can mention a pair off the top of my head who's like this: Kazahaya and Rikuo from Gohou Drug. Owh wait, there's Tsuzuki and Muraki too from Yami no Matsuei.

Basically, it's just something you pull off the shelf of mediocre cliches. If you're looking for something fresh- skip this and look for something else. Like Haru wo Daiteita.

One thing I can commend though is the art. I haven't seen such elegant art in a long time. Although really~ it's kind of unrealistic. I mean, the grandfather looks like he freaking took a bath at the fountain of youth AND drank the water. I mean, it's just unrealistic. And the eyes are kind of weird- but if I guess you're looking for fresh anime eye art, you can look at this one for reference.

Overall, the anime is something not worth wasting your time on. Although, if you don't too much mind the lack of plot (or the mediocrity of plot anyway) or the lack of hot sex scenes, then watch this just for pure entertainment. Like I dunno, when you have nothing else better to do with your life because you've seen every yaoi anime out there.

And really, don't even bother watching this when you DO have time to waste. If you DO have time to waste, go watch the Haru wo Daiteita OVA or something. It's not good either, but at least it's better than this one. Anything is better than this one.

So pass this and go for something else instead.

Owh and by the way, if you were expecting incest because of the title (Like maybe you read Papa to Kiss in the Dark and want something of the same nature), well sorry to burst your bubble but it ain't incest. It's shota, but not incest. (Kirepapa means beautiful papa or something, apparently a combination of the words kirei= pretty and papa= father. I dunno, I'm going from memory here). read more

Although this has the overused storyline of one character secretly in love with another, and plenty of the typical misunderstandings, confusion, denials, secret obsessions, etc, it has light humour as well, good artwork and sounds. So overall I would rate it average to good. If you are looking for a lightish yaoi story with some kissing, petting and the final (but discreet) boom-bang, then this would be good for you.

I enjoyed watching it although the secret love/confession was getting to be too much, it didn't last long enough to be truly bothered by it. Nice, but I wouldn't bother to watch it twice.

Its my first time doing a review be kind lol

There was a bit to much sex but other then that the story was cute... It really focused on the trials an everday cuple might go through.... Even though there is only 2 eps the characters grew within those eps... It covered the same as a full tv series would with out all the extra crap..... So if you dont mind a graphic yoai story then I recomend that you watch this.... it really is one of the better ones

my first review. Before I watched this I thought that this was a love story between father and son (like in Papa to kiss in the dark). But it wasn't, something I'm happy about. so I was kind of surprised about how good this series turned out to be. If your in too this kind of anime, you have too watch this. not the best i've seen, but it was a good:)
