And now for some serious look over things...
Story: what story? They are basically already together and have sex almost 85% of the time. The only sign of a plot is that one flashback, where Reo tells Mai how she feels. Then, approximately 20 econds later, Mai is seme ing Reo in some room, saying that she feels the same. Now I'm pretty sure that in the game she gave it much more thought than this... But here, she acted like some hentai-maniac, for crying out loud. It made no sense! Oh, and if you think this is spoiling - no, it's nothing like that. There's just nothing to spoil. The only thing I could spoil is what positions did they try on and etc. So... if you're a yuri fan like me, but you are quite satisfied with the billions of doujinshi over the net, and want something cute, resulting with sex - you won't get it. You won't have the chance to relate to those girls at all. They are just doing it on random. And even the flashback didn't help; according to it, it really was spontaneous for them to get together. If you're a yuri fan that likes yuri sex though, and you don't need much of a story to enjoy some yuri goodness - yeah, this will do the trick. I myself also liked it, to be honest. There's no yuri fan that won't like it. They are cute, they are hot, they are changing poses, they are doing IT. But sometimes only the sex is not enough. It's for you to decide which side are you on. And that will be your criteria for rating. For me, the story was 2/10, the sex was 10/10, so in overall I got: 6.
Art: There were some disturbing moments here and there, hyper smooching, fast moving and etc. I can't describe it properly, but in other words - the animation was not fluid. So, to save some time and drawing, some scenes, which should've been slow and beautiful turned into fast and disturbing ones. The character designs are great though, and Mai totally grew on me as a "design". You'll most probably love it, unless you absolutely hate cute stuff but that's really highly unlikely. I personally gave the animetion 8/10, since normally, I don't give less than 7 for art, and this was definitely not a 7.
OST: Well, I don't know if it's just me... But I had this problem with Shoujo sect, too... /watch it by the way, it HAS a plot/ So, throughout the episode there's almost non-stop piano music, totally unfitting piano music. I personally get disturbed by it and I lose concentration so it ruined for me the good moments. It might be different for you and you might manage to ignore it, or even like it /LOL/... It depends on the person. 1/10 for shitty piano. The voice actors did a great job with their characters and their moaning was all very cute. They deserve a 10 in my opinion. So overall for OST I'll give 5/10.
Characters: Oh yes, they had some really long legs and nice tits, small and big - to satisfy every viewer... And their moaning, and their chemistry, and the sex!!! Oh, wait. Right, so there's basically no character development at all. Don't expect that. They suit each other and that's pretty much about it. 4/10 because they [i]really[/i] suit each other =D
Enjoyment: It's not all about the sex!!!!

9/10 oh well, you can't blame me. It's 100% sure that you will like the sex too. The problem with SonoHana is not the ero-scenes themselves, it's the backstory, the character development, the OST /there is NO hentai with good ost though, as far as I know, if you know one, then please do tell me about it... So I can't judge them/, partially the art... But mostly the story. I'm sure that in the game everything made more sense and was even more enjoyable, because the player got to know the characters, their story, and their hardships. But here? We get the sex.
All in all, I recommend it. Boys, girls, cats, whatever. It may be plotless, but the sex is just too good. And like I said, if the sex is what you're interested in - then you're in for a ten. It's really cute and it's obvious that they love each other /though it's not explained to us properly, their backstory, I mean/. It's not some forced lesbo fuck, so it's worth the watch.
