I thoroughly unexpected the intensity of this show.

I've seen this art style before in shows like Suki de Suki de Suki de, produced by the same company, and I find it very agreeable.

The first scene is absolutely killer. Hottest thing I have ever seen. After that, it goes down a little but only because the first scene was so damn good it's impossible to keep that up, and overall it's still very good.

The bright colours all over the place during the show were awesome. The art style of the way the girls are drawn is brilliant, cute, and awesome.

In contrast to the other hentais, this show actually had a semblance of a plot.

It is very dark behind the bright colours, and causes most people to recoil I think, but I embrace it.

Further reading: =SPOILER

The NTR level by the end of the second episode is through the roof, like 157%. However, it's not random douchebaggery like in most shows, but it actually fits in with an overarching plot. The resulting surprise at the end creates an intense feeling of basically traumatization. This is not a pleasant feeling. However, I can appreciate it for what it is and it really made me appreciate the NTR feeling of how "getting screwed" can serve to arouse you like never before. A show that can draw out an intense emotional reaction like this...is superior to random douchebaggery.

There are so many different facets as part of the plot that I can point to that make this a whole:

1) The transition from how Hitsuji is emotionless to 100% happy and excited at the prospect of getting to do it with the man she really loved... this was incredible and weird and insane and wonderful all at the same time.

e.g. The nosebleed she gets once she realizes they're about to do it. She's so immediately aroused at the fact, that's why she got a nosebleed. It was brilliant.

2) The NTR feel of how Hitsuji basically never gave a shit about the protagonist from the beginning. She was always emotionless. The only reason she gave her body to him was following the directions of her real lover to make the "taboo paradise". She may have given her body to the protagonist, but the whole time her mind was always in love with Tsubaki. This was incredible because you didn't realize this at first. It only becomes clear at the end and it hits you like a brick wall.

More NTR feels:
-She was always taking a birth control pill when doing it with the protagonist at the direction of Tsubaki. When they are finally about to have sex after so long, he tells her she can go off the pill and get pregnant with his baby, and she is SO happy...
-All the girls in Koutaro's life are taken away sequentially to this "taboo paradise". Finally, he finds the 1 girl he had truly been focusing on, Hitsuji... well, she never loved him at all. She never gave the slightest shit for him.
-The line "A girl will remember and fall in love with the first man that comes in her womb" to showcase how Hitsuji had first fallen in love with Tsubaki and never really cared for Koutaro... was a succint summary. It also describes how all these other girls in his life were taken by first being raped and then falling in love with the pleasure and their rapists.

3) Finally, you also got the feel this is all Koutaro's own fault. He got caught up in his own sexual greed and focused on the one sex friend he had made, and one by one stopped paying attention to the other girls in his life allowing them to be taken away from him.

This show is insane and I am insane, but I really liked it. My description simply does not do justice to how awesome it was watching this.
