Watching Koe de Oshigoto! was an unforgettable experience, not to be missed. No slow start here, this short OVA series starts off with a bang and shows no signs of slowing down as it delivers a complete story over two episodes and keeps you wanting more.
Even though KoeGoto isn't a hentai series, I'm going to review it as one since it's better than most hentai I've seen over the past decade.
Story
This is what really ties the show together, there's no other way to really justify a non-H series that features schoolgirls reading hentai dialogue, having vivid sexual fantasies, or on-screen orgasms. While not an award-winning plotline, it does its job of keeping the setting coherent. It's also not a very commonly seen storyline, especially in non-H media, and considering the subject matter, it'll be a long time until we see another like it. The only downside is how little of the source material was adapted, and as a result viewers are missing out on a lot of plot development, especially concerning her friends, Kotori and Hazuki.
Art
Nothing really special about the art. It's very clean and crisp, but simplistic. You're not getting the same detail as a P.A. Works anime but I'd put the quality at late 2000's Kyoani. Now what KoeGoto brings to the table is in its sex scenes. While brief, they hit the bases, delivering you juicy, raunchy action with only nipples and genitalia censored. But that's what your imagination is for, right?
Sound
There's not much to say about the soundtrack, nothing special here either, and you hardly notice it anyways since you're busier paying attention to the dialogue. The voice acting however is superb, especially during the recording sessions where it's virtually indistinguishable from hentai dialogue. Downsides include not actually being able to hear more of Hazuki's Kansai H-dialogue readings.
Characters
The characters are lovable but somewhat plain. However it's very easy to get attached to them, and that sort of emotional investment ultimately leads to higher returns when they end up voicing the H-scenarios. Kanna is cute when she tries her best even when what she's doing is really embarrassing. It's difficult to hate any of the characters, even the annoying and perverted Shige who's not ashamed to announce that he gets off to highschool girls.
Definitely check this out if you're interested in cute girls doing lewd things, but don't want to be stuck with the stigma of watching actual hentai; if you've never watched ecchi or hentai before and want something as a gateway; or even if you're an avid hentai connoisseur, Koe de Oshigoto has much to offer viewers of any level and experience.
